After Emily, Mick, and Derek descended into the underbelly of the Interpol building. They went through a series of doors with heavily armed guards. Each agent had to show their credentials to gain access to the next door.
Finally they reached their destination. Derek stood in a vaulted room slack jawed.
This room contained just about every firearm known to man. There were STG 44s, AK-47s, and M16s.
In one corner of the room there was a Mauser M1898 with cup-type grenade launcher.
Mick handed Derek a black leather two shoulder gun holster. Derek slipped his jacket off. Emily took the jacket and hung it on a hook. Derek slid the holster on and made the appropriate adjustments.
Mick also handed Derek a small leather belt gun holster.
Emily gave Derek a .308 Winchester. Derek admired the craftsman ship of the gun then slid it into the belt holster.
Mick handed Derek two M9 Berettas that he slid into the shoulder holster.
Emily said, "Well I think you are armed to the teeth."
Derek smiled and said, "I think so too."
Mick said, "Alright let's get your other toys.
Derek cocked his eyebrow and asked, "Other toys?"
Mick looked at Emily and asked, "You didn't tell him?"
Emily smirked and said, "I wanted it to be a surprise."
Derek laughed and said, "Emily Prentiss you know I hate surprises."
Mick chuckled and said, "Trust me Derek this one you will love."
Derek put his jacket back on, and was surprise how well the guns were hidden.
The three agents walked through a long corridor to a garage.
Derek saw a lot of large government issued sedans. Hey let out a sigh of relief, at least he wouldn't be cramped in a mini cooper.
Emily spoke to one of the garage attendants. Emily came back to both men and said, "Wait here I will be right back."
Mick gave Derek a huge grin.
Mick and Derek made small talk while Emily was gone.
Derek heard the car before he actually saw it. He heard the sound of an engine purring.
Emily pulled up.
Derek thought he was going to faint. In front of him was an Aston Martin Vanquish with a V-12 engine.
The sleek black car, was calling to Derek. He couldn't help but run his hands over the driver's side door.
Mick laughed and said, "Emily I think he likes his surprise."
Emily returned the laugh and said, "Yeah ya think."
Derek with a little bit of shock in his voice asked, "This is for me?"
Mick said, "Yep all yours, and you bloody well enjoy it."
Emily opened the door for Derek, and he climbed in. All Derek could say was, "Holy shit."
Emily said, "Unfortunately you can't take it for a test drive yet, we have a few other things to get."
Derek almost pouted but turned the ignition off.
Emily said, "Don't worry when you are ready to go, Joey at the attendant's station will bring your car around front. Just show him your badge."
Derek climbed out of the car and the agents made their way back inside.
Emily's phone rang. She said, "I have to take this. Mick can you and Derek go back to the bomb fragments?"
Derek and Mick nodded.
Back in the lair
Penelope and Kevin weren't making that much progress. They were able to identify two of the people in the videos that shared the same tattoo.
Penelope's personal cell phone rang.
Penelope excitedly answered it. "Hey JJ how is it going?"
JJ laughed and said, "Well it is going. It looks like I might be called to jolly ole England."
Penelope smiled and said, "That is wonderful, but wait why?"
JJ said, "It seems that the press is getting out of hand with this. Interpol isn't exactly known for their media skills."
Penelope replied, "I can tell. I have been watching news coverage. The government hasn't given an official statement."
"Garcie, their media liaison is swamped. Hotch called me into the office, and asked if I would be willing to help. For now I am going to be doing it from Quantico. But as soon as Will and I settle on what to do with Henry, I will be headed your way."
"Jayje it would be so good to see you." Penelope laughed and said, "Derek get's to play 007."
JJ replied, "I bet he is like a kid in a candy store."
Penelope chuckled and said, "You have no idea."
"P I just wanted to check in with you guys. I have an early day tomorrow. Call me when you can."
Penelope smiled and said, "Will do. I hope I get to see you soon."
"I miss you too Garcia. Bye."
"Bye JJ."
Kevin moved his monitor and said, "Has it gotten that bad, that they need more American agents?"
Penelope said, "Apparently so."
Kevin sat back in his chair and said, "Wow."
Penelope rubbed her eyes and said, "Yeah I know."
Kevin looked at the clock and said, "It's getting close to quitting time."
Penelope sighed and said, "Thank god. I don't think I have typed this much in years."
"Penelope I know what you mean. Well rest up tonight."
The phone rang; Kevin answered it and said, "TA Lynch."
Kevin was silent for a few moments and said, "Yes sir. Thank you sir."
Kevin hung up the phone and said, "Well it looks like they are letting us go now. They want us rested. It seems a bomb threat was delivered in Liverpool."
Penelope rolled her shoulders and flatly said, "Great."
Kevin said, "Before we go I need to give you these so if Agent Newcastle, Agent Morgan, or any other agent, can contact you. Also some of your software is preloaded."
Kevin handed Penelope a new laptop, tablet, and iphone.
"Wow Kevin these are top of the line."
Kevin said, "I know. I had to do some things to fit this into the budget. Oh and here is agent Morgan's phone and tablet."
Penelope laughed and said, "You know when I wanted the BAU to go paperless I had to do a few things too."
Kevin smiled and said, "I know. Where do you think I got the idea?"
They laughed.
Derek and Mick came into the lair. Derek took a look at all the monitors buzzing around and said, "Damn mama you have been busy."
Derek gave Penelope a quick kiss.
Mick said to everyone, "Let's get out of here. The director has informed me we are going to have an early day. We need to all be in at 9 a.m. sharp."
Kevin said, "I am going to stay here and run some updates and wait for my wife. See you guys tomorrow."
Derek and Penelope made their way to the front of the building. Penelope turned to Derek and said, "Baby how are we getting back to the hotel?"
Derek smirked and said, "You'll see."
Derek and Penelope stood outside for a few moments. The car Penelope saw took her breath away.
Penelope thought to herself, "No way is that Derek's."
Derek said, "Wipe that look of your face, and the answer is yes." Derek opened and closed the door for Penelope. They made their way to the hotel.
As always read and review!
