The State Verses Derek Morgan Ch 11
Back at the BAU, JJ and Emily were looking through some of the files that were of the 89 that Reid had wrote down, they were very complex cases and to be honest their unsub could be from any of these cases. Right now Kevin was looking into information about several of them, he was doing background checks on the surviving unsubs and their families to hopefully get a break but so far luck wasn't in their corner.
They looked up when Reid and Dave walked into the room with a cuffed Shane, he said, "well hello ladiesss", Emily said, "Shane", JJ said, "thank you Shane", he said, "forrrrr?", she said, "for agreeing to help us find out who really did this to Penelope". Shane looked at the two women and said, "I will do my best to prove agent Morgan's innocence and get revenge for my black queen because whoever did this to her needs to pay and will pay".
He walked over to the board and said, "what are these?" as he pointed to the names of the cases that he'd written down before leaving with Dave to talk to the director, Reid said, "these are the cases that we're focusing on, we believe that one of these cases has the person or persons that is hell bent on destroying Derek and in the process killed the woman that he loves".
Shane said, "okay, so where do you want me to start?", JJ said, "well right now, Kevin is looking into the first 5" as she pointed to the list on the board beside them, she said, "you can start anywhere you would like". Shane walked over to the table and sat down at the computer, he said, "it's been a while so I might be a little rusty", JJ, Emily, Dave and Reid watched as Shane's fingers flew across the keyboard, they smiled because the way his hands were moving reminded them of Penelope.
At the jail, Hotch and Mia walked into an interrogation room so that they could speak to their client to let him know that Shane had been brought in to help them so while they were waiting on Derek to be brought to them Mia said, "so is there anything that I need to know about Penelope?", Hotch said, "welllllllll, the way she was brought to us is a little different", she said, "different how?", he grinned and started giving a brief summary of how he met Penelope.
When he was through with his summary Mia said, "so she's the black queen?", Hotch nodded his head and said, "yes, yes she is and she is the best hacker that I have ever seen in my life by far, nobody can do what she can do, nobody". Mia said, "but you wanted this Shane character to help us", Hotch said, "he's good, not as good as Garcia but he's good and he knows everything about Garcia so that too will come in handy", they were pulled from their conversation when Derek was led into the room.
After he walked over to the table one of the guard said, "we'll be right outside", Mia said, "thank you", the guards nodded their heads yes before stepping out into he hallway and closing the door behind them. Derek looked at Hotch and said, "please tell me that you've found something, anything to get me out of here", Mia said, "not yet but we're working on it", Derek sighed as he sat back in his seat and started rubbing his temples.
Hotch said, "we need to discuss something with you", he looked at them and said, "what is it?", Mia said, "welllll we've brought in somebody that we believe can help us with your case", Derek leaned forward and said, "who is it?", Hotch said, "it's Shane",Derek said, "Shane as in, Penelope's ex?", Hotch said, "the one and the same", Derek/span laughed and said, "man he's not going to help me, you two must be dreaming".
Hotch looked at his friend and said, "he's already agreed to help us, he's back at the BAU with JJ, Reid and the others right now working to prove your innocence and helping us get revenge on the people that killed Garcia". Derek said, "how did you get him to help, how did you get him out of prison?", Mia said, "Dave and Spencer went and talked to the director who pulled a few strings and got him temporarily released into the BAU's custody".
Derek said, "why is he helping me though, doesn't he think I killed baby girl?", Hotch shook his head no and said, "I talked to Dave right before we got here and Shane doesn't think you'd ever hurt Penelope, he knows that you're in love with her and would do anything to keep her safe", Derek smiled for the first time since this whole thing began, he the looked at his friends and said, "so now what do we do?", he sat there listening as Mia and Hotch told him what they were going to do.
When they were finished Derek said, "do you think we'll be ready in 3 weeks?", Mia said, "we'll have to be but don't worry, by the time your trial date gets here we'll hopefully have enough information to not only be able to prove your innocent but also get you out of here and be able to put the people that actually killed Penelope in here in your stead".
Derek said, "from your lips to God's ears Mia", the trio then put their heads together and started focusing on a strategy, a strategy that might bring some justice for the woman everybody loved, for the woman that deserved only the best, for the only woman that Derek Michael Morgan/span would ever love, his baby girl, Penelope Grace Garcia.
