AN1: Hey guys I know I said that I wouldn't post another story, but Yestedays news made me feel so sad and if love these characters I should do something to keep them alive. I don't know if I will keep writing after season 15 is over, but right now I will try as much as I can.
AN2: I wrote this story listening to the song talking to the moon. I do not own CRIMINAL MINDS or The song, they all belong to CBS and Bruno Mars.
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have
At night when the stars
Light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon
Penelope Garcia left him six years ago. Luke thought that after telling her how much he loved her and made love she would stay forever. Sometimes things didn't went the way you wanted Luke thought to himself.
"Luke, we got a new case." Spencer told to the other man.
"Great," he said in a bitter tone.
Since she left everybody notice that he wasn't the same. Nobody knew where she was, one day she didn't appear anymore. Emily got a paper that said that she was transferred, but not where.
"What's going on?" Said Emily to Jenifer that was presenting the case.
"Seattle, Women, middle ages. The unsub kidnapped them and let them starve to death." JJ said looking at everyone. "He also has a type." She showed them the pictures.
The four women that were on the screen where Garcia's type.
"Oh my God" Luke said with a broken voice.
"Could she be in danger?" Tara asked.
"We really don't know." JJ said to her team.
They discussed the topic feeling awkward at the knowledge that maybe their friend was in danger.
"None of you have had contact with her?" Luke asked for the thousand time since she left.
"No, it seems like she never was here." Emily said feeling hurt that Penelope never called.
"You think she will come back one day?" Rossi asked again.
"Don't know." Tara shook her head. "She is a free soul, but really she broke us"
The team wasn't the same. They didn't have their light anymore.
That night Luke was looking out of his window, not really paying attention to the rest. He was just staring at the moon, thinking about her again, imagining her blonde hair, her porcelain skin. Thinking that maybe in that same moment she was doing the same as him. Probably she got a new boyfriend, one that loved her as much as he did.

They arrived, the PD was at their services, the new technical analyst wasn't that good. Nobody liked him.
"Robert, we need you to look for the information we asked." Rossi said exasperated.
"I know agent, but my system crashed again."
"Damn it Robert! You need to change the fucking system! There are lives in danger!" Luke snapped to the young boy. It was something that he always did to the ones that took her place.
"I'm sorry Sir, I'm trying" he said nervous.
"Try better." He said rolling his eyes.
The next two weeks they found another body, same MO.
"According to the time the bodies appear this unsub is taking them for two or three weeks." Spencer said.
"So he is looking for a new one" Emily confirmed.
"Or he got them before killing the one he has." Luke said.
"We need more information, can someone call Robert?" JJ asked.
"I will do it" Tara said walking away with her phone.
Two hours later they got more information, but sadly they couldn't get where he was taking them. Robert wasn't that good, and feeling the pressure of the team on his arms wasn't helping that much.
"I think we need to change him, again." Luke said looking at the small paragraph of information he send them.
" Again? Luke we know that nobody will be like her, but we have to accept what we got." Jennifer told him.
"Come on JJ, he is bad. He barely send us information." Rossi protested, letting her know that something was wrong with him.
"I know," she rubbed her head. "But, what else I can do? Nobody wants to work with us, They know is a big spot to fulfill, and also they know that some people here are rude with the technical analyst." She looked at Luke.
"They are useless, I'm not even sorry." he said crossing his arms.
"I'll call Kevin, he is almost as good as Penelope was." Prentiss informed to the rest.
"I don't know Em, he doesn't work with the FBI." Spence told the brunette woman.
"Who is Kevin?" Luke asked.
"He was part of the team, when Penelope was shot, he worked with us in other cases helping her, later he became Penelope's boyfriend and after a few years when they broke up he looked for his dream of a family and a farm." JJ responded.
"Is he good?" Luke avoided the fact that the man was Penelope's boyfriend.
"He is the second one."
"We should call him then, just to be sure we catch this freak."
"Are we assuming that the Unsub could get through Penelope? We don't know where she is why think that?" Tara said to the rest of her team.
"She is right, just because the victims look like her doesn't mean…"
"I don't want to take the risk!" Luke snapped and hit the table that was near him.
"Is okay Luke, neither we." Prentiss hold him by the shoulder. "I think you are just too involved and you need to go back to Virginia."
"No!" He was very upset. "I won't go back until we catch him." Saying that he walked out of the room.
"What happened between those two" Tara implied.
"Isn't obvious?" Rossi said. "He was so inlove with her, and she left. Now Luke is devastated."
Luke kept walking he passed through the glass doors walking outside the building. Tears rolling down his cheek, this wasn't the first time he cried after her, neither the last one. He looked to the moon he always hoped she will be doing the same wherever she was. Now he was hoping so hard she wouldn't be in danger.

In other part of the city…
"Mrs Johnson?" A little girl with big brown eyes and long chestnut hair asked.
"Yes sweetie?" The old woman replied.
"Where is mommy?" Her eyes were full of tears.
"I wish I could know baby." The woman opened her arms to hug the girl.
"Can we call the emergency contact?"
"I think we should, it's been two days. What did your mother said?" Ms Johnson was like her grandmother.
"That if one day she didn't returned we should call Emily Prentiss, that she would help us find her." The little girl's voice was broken. "And that my daddy will took care of me if something happened."
"Let's call them then." The woman hold the old piece of paper in one hand and with the other dialed the number.
