Derek or Luke-Ch 7
Penelope sighed as she rubbed her temples, she didn't know what to do, she was finally softening towards Luke and now her hotstuff, her best friend, the man that stole her heart is back in the picture. She blew out a deep breath as her phone rang, she hit the button and said, "speak and be heard superfriends", Luke laughed and said, "Hotch wanted me to call and see if you were able to find anything yet"?, she said, "I'm still waiting on my babies to cooperate".
Luke said, "that's cool, can you hit us back when you hear something"?, she said, "uhhhhh Luke", he said, "yeah"?, she said, "nothing", he said, "talk to me Garcia", she said, "have I ever told you that I hate profilers"?, he grinned and said, "yes you have now spill it". She said, "it's about Derek", Luke said, "are you canceling our date"?, she said, "what, no, no of course not, it's just things are complicated".
Luke said, "complicated how"?, she said, "how about we talk about this when you get back"?, he said, "sounds like a plan" and just as he was getting ready to end the call her computers started beeping. She said, "wait Luke". He said, "did you get something"?, she said, "indeed I did, yours truly found out that the sheriffs brother Richard was arrested 2 years ago for harrasement and attempted rape".
He listened as Penelope said, "the charges were dropped", Luke said, "who pressed the charges"?, she let her fingers to the walking and then she said, "Natalia Young". He said, "wait, that name sounds familiar", Penelope said, "it should, her and the other victims were in the same graduating class in high school and they all graduated when a younger boy Brian Wallace was tied up and beaten before he was stuffed into his locker".
Luke said, "whatever happened to Brian"?, she did a little more searching and said, "it's like he fell off the face of the earth", Luke said, "what about a last known address"?, she said, "hang on just a sec". He couldn't help but smile when she said, "that would be 543 Humingbird Lane, which is about 4 miles away from the police station", before the call ended Luke said, "thanks Garcia, see ya soon", she said, "that you will Luke, that you willlllll".
Derek had played with his son and gave him a bath before tucking him into bed, Fran stood in the door and watched her son and she couldn't help but smile. Derek stepped out into the hall and said, "what's that smile for"?, she said, "you're such a good daddy", he said, "thanks momma, that means a lot", she said, "your dad would be so proud of you, proud of the man you've become".
Derek sighed and said, "momma I don't know what to do about baby girl", Fran said, "talk to me baby boy, what's the problem"?, Derek said, "their is this new man, the new member of the team, this Luke". Fran grinned and said, "ahhhhh and this Luke is making a move on Penelope, a move that you were afraid to make before, am I right"?, he nodded his head and said, "yep, that would be correct", causing Fran to laugh.
He sighed and said, "she's suppose to go out on a date with this Luke when the team gets home from this latest case", Fran said, "well then you better be telling her how you feel". Derek said, "I did", Fran said, "andddddd"?, he said, "she loves me but everything is all messed up now because of the whole Savannah crap", Fran nodded her head and said, "try spending more time with her, take her out for a drink, dance, talk, just do the things that you two use to do".
Derek kissed her on the cheek and said, "thanks momma", he stood up and headed toward the door and she said, "where are you going"?, he said, "can you watch Hank, I'm going to go spend some time with Penelope"?, she said, "of course, go and win your baby girl". Derek laughed and said, "that's the plannnn" as he headed out the door closing it gently behind him.
