Until The End of Time

17. Locked In

Derek's POV:

The sun came up the next day and I got up and took a shower. I got a text from Hotch that said "Meet up with the team at the PD." I quickly got dressed and headed down to the lobby. I got to the elevators and I saw Penelope rush around the corner.

Her hair was in a kinda messy ponytail. She only had on red lipstick with very little blue eye shadow. She had on a bright green blazer and a strapless white dress that stopped just above her knees. She only had on one bright yellow shoe and her yellow bag was almost falling off her shoulder.

Her phone was in her mouth and she was hopping around trying to put her other shoe on. She bumped into the wall and her phone and yellow glasses fell off. "Just great." She puts her stuff down on the floor and she crawls around on the floor looking for her things. "Lemme help you baby girl."

I help her up and she puts on her other shoe. I pick up her glasses and pink phone. I put her glasses on her face and I look into her gorgeous brown eyes. She blinks a few times and says,"Thanks." I smile and hand her her phone.

I sigh and press the lobby button,"You ready?" She gives me a "I hope so" look and sighs. We step on the elevator and it's a silent ride. "Need a ride?" "Sure." We walk to my car and Penelope gets in the passenger side. I start driving and I look at her staring out the window. She looked amazing. I loved that dress on her.

I wasn't paying attention to the road. "MORGAN WATCH OUT!" I quickly look up and I swerve, almost hitting a biker. I stop the car and get out,"Are you ok?" He was a tall guy. Fit obviously. Short dark brown hair and Caucasian. He was wearing sunglasses and a dark grey bike suit. "Yeah. I'm fine." He had a kinda deep voice. "Sorry about that, I wasn't paying attention." "Oh it's alright." "Ok. Well, have a nice day." "You too."

Penelope's POV:

"Is he ok?" "Yeah. He's alright." says Derek getting back in the car. I look in the rear view mirror as we drove off and the guy is still there staring at us drive off. We finally arrive at the police department. "What took you so long?" Derek says,"We had a small dilemma on our way here." "Oh, well we found another body. Garcia, officer Jones will show you to the tech room." A man walks up to me and introduces himself.

Derek walks off with Hotch to meet up with the others I guess. Officer Jones walks me down a hall to a secluded room. He opens the door for me and there's five monitors and an office chair. "Thank you." "I'm guessing you know how to work them?" "I'll try my best." He gives me a nervous smile and leaves out.

I put my stuff down and stare at the screens. It's going to be a long day.
