For The Love of Derek Morgan

Chapter 8: She's Gone

Allie’s House:

It was a long day for everyone, poor Allie; she cried herself to exhaustion and fell asleep. By night falls, Morgan dropped Allie off at her house.

He wanted to stay, but the team needs him back at the station. Parking the car in her driveway, Morgan took a moment to get a good look at her. He can see how tired she was. Her eyes were red and bloodshot from little sleep and crying. No peace seems to reach her even when she was asleep.

Half-heartedly, he shook her to wake her up.

With a whimper, Allie unwillingly woke from her short slumber. “Hey there sleeping beauty, we’ve arrived at your house.” Morgan said with a soft smile. His nickname made her blush a pretty shade of red.

Mentally patting himself on the back, Morgan signal her to get out of the car. They both walk side by side toward the big house.

“There will be polices patrolling around your neighborhood so don’t worry okay? Just get some sleep.” Morgan said as he walks her up to the door.

After a pause, Allie lifts her head to face him. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. “Thank you, so much, Agent Morgan.” She said before heading inside.

Outside, Morgan found himself staring at the door. He didn’t feel right about leaving her all alone. But there isn’t much he can do. Giving her some space and peace should be a good idea.

After a moment he turns and head off.

Midnight:

Morgan found him woken up by the some sort of annoying sound. It took him a moment to realize that it was his cell phone ringing. It was a long night after he dropped Allie off. He went back to the station where the team spent most of the time trying to narrow down the list of who the unsub could be.

With his eyes still closed, he reach for his phone and answered, “Hello?”

“…Agent Morgan…” recognizing the voice, he shoots up from the bed.

“Allie? What are you doing up this late?” he ask

“I’m not exactly in bed right now.” She said her voice in a whisper.

“What do you mean? Where are you right now?” he demand

After a long pause, he can hear her whimper out, “He has her… He called me 5 minutes ago and told me he has Jaylee. He put a gun up to her head and made her tell me that he’s going to kill her if I don’t go to them.”

“Allie, tell me where you are right now.” He said as he rushes to put some clothes on and head out the door to inform his team.

 “He told me to meet him alone… Or he’ll kill her… He’s been stalking my every move. He said he’ll even kill you. I’m so sorry Agent Morgan. You’ve been so supportive of me yet all I’ve done is dragged you into this horrible thing.” She replied in a sob.

“Allie, he’s not going to hurt me and I won’t let him hurt you. Tell me where you are.” Morgan states as his team crowd around him to hear what she had said. After a long pause, the agent was on the verge of panicking. “Allie? Allie? Are you there?”  But no one was answering.

“Fuck!” he screams out and punches the wall behind him.

 “Morgan you need to calm down. We will find her!” Prentiss said trying to calm the agent down. All the tall agent was clench the small cell phone tighter as if it was to blame.

Hotch pulled out his phone and dial Garcia, “Garcia, I need you to track Allie’s phone. Morgan you need to calm down, you’re not helping her by being angery.” He said in a firm voice to his fellow agent.

“That’s right sugar, listen to boss man. Beside I told you before, Allie is one smart cookie. She left her phone line on because she knows we can track her through it. If she didn’t want us to know where she’s heading, she would have turned it off.” Garcia said. Her words seem to have calmed him

After a couple of tap on her keyboard, Garcia said, “And BINGO! She’s in the campus. Her phone signal stops right in front of the psychology building.” And with the direction, everyone took off.

In the car, Hotch spoke to Morgan, “Morgan… I know you’re emotionally involved, I do not want you to go in there with us.”

“What? Hotch, you know I have to been in there! He got her in there with him and he’s arm!” Morgan argues back.

“I know he’s arm, but because you’re emotionally involve it could jeopardize the whole thing. Also the unsub knows you, seeing you will provoke him further. Trust us Morgan; we’ll bring her safely back.” He said, his voice laced with promises.

He didn’t say anything for a while, but as they approach the campus, he nodded his head. Now agent Morgan was never one to back down from anything, but Hotch is right. If the unsub sees him, it might provoke him to hurt Allie. Plus he does trust his team, with his life… and now with Allie’s life.

When they reached the building, everyone got out already armed with their FBI bullet proof vest and guns.

“Okay, Rossi, you and Reid take the back way. Prentiss and you JJ are with me, we’ll take the front. He probably has them in her psychology class. This was probably where everything started for him. Morgan I want you to stay out here and wait till backup get here before going in there.” Hotch said in his unit chief voice.

With a nod everyone went in, leaving Morgan outside all by himself.
