Finally! The muse decided to come out of hiding and gave me anther story idea. I was beginning to think someone had kidnapped my muse! I'm still not sure exactly where this story is heading but I hope you enjoy.
MISSING
Prologue
It had been 24 hours since anyone had heard from Penelope Garcia. Of course, it was late on a Sunday night and nobody had really been looking for her either. Last night, the BAU team had all headed out to one of their favorite pubs and had spent some time blowing off steam and destressing. There had been dancing and drinks, good conversation and of course a lot of laughter. By midnight the party was winding down and everyone had headed home. Penelope, being the worrier of the group, had made sure that everyone texted her letting her know they had all arrived home safely. Derek Morgan, Penelope's best friend on the team, had followed her home in his own vehicle, making sure she got in safely before heading on to his own apartment.
There was no reason for anyone to even suspect that anything was amiss. It wasn't unusual for the team to spend Sunday with their respective families, boyfriends, girlfriends or just by themselves before heading back to work on Monday. Before leaving the pub on Saturday night, Derek had suggested that he and Penelope go see a movie the next day, but she had declined, saying she was supposed to be spending the day with Kevin, her boyfriend. That had been a lie. Penelope hated lying, especially to Derek, but Kevin had just broken up with her a few days earlier and she wasn't ready to talk about it just yet, she needed some alone time. She had vowed that she would tell Derek everything on Monday after she had had some time to process the break up herself.
So now it was 2:00 a.m. Monday morning, Penelope had been missing for 24 hours, and nobody had a clue.
