1994

"Mrs...Umm... pardon me but I going to have to take your car keys." Said the young bartender to "The cops are being very strict lately after that accident over on Gillmen St. Plus you don't want to get hurt do you?"

" WHa- oh yeah don't worry I won't be leaving anytime soon but here what the hell right." said the intoxicated girl across the counter " Now be a dear and get me another drink."

As the bartender walked away a man sat down next to the young woman and ordered himself a drink.

"Hi my names-." Said the man

"Don't ok just.. don't." replayed the woman before he could finish. "Look you seem nice but go away I'm trying to deal with something right now and a boy is the last thing I need." Said the sad young woman trying to prevent any more tears from falling.

" I am so sorry for the loss of your parents Penelope , but there is no need to be rude. I was trying to introduce myself I'm James..well for now anyway.

Penelope looked at him in shock, for one thing she was using a fake ID and had told no one her name or why she was here although the latter was kinda easy to see. Part of her wanted him to leave but the other part was amazed how did he know so much?

" Wha- H- How did you know my name and who the hell are you!"

" Oh we know everything about you Penny, we know your mom and dad died a week ago again sorry about your parents I truly am. But we also know you just dropped out of Cal-tech and just gave up custody of your four brothers and that they are now wards of the state, and I also know it is not right for you to be drinking right now because you are. " James looked at the bartender who was washing out a glass and staring at them before he lent over and whispered in Penelope's ear "Eighteen"

Penelope started at this strange man in shock and thought about getting up and leaving but she had to know how did he know all of those things. Especially about her brothers she just gave up custody hours ago and the only people there were the old judge and her brothers.

" Now Pen before you get up and leave let me tell you who I represent and please I know this is a shock but just listen

" Fine go on then"

" Right thank you, like I said earlier my names james and I am a part of the hacking group the nettzions and we have been researching you and we want you to be a part of our group and hack with us. I know you have had a lot to drink but listen, you are one of the best computer technicians Cal-tech has seen in a long time. It said so in your file, listen we don't normally do this but we want you to join us and I'am sorry to say this, but what do you have here for you now?"

Penelope thought about it really thought and was sad to admit this strange man was right, even though she had friends none of them wanted to deal with the turned goth girl who gave up on everything she ever wanted. Penelope looked at the man and smiled a small half smile but it was still more than she had smiled in what felt like a year.

" Count me in." Said Penelope not sure if it was her heart or the liquor talking

" Great follow me" Said James, and with that Penelope got up and left the life she had lived for a long time.

2010

It was five in the morning when the case came to Hotch the police called him at his house it was so important. Another teenager had gone missing and what was worse, this one like all the others had been taken right out of her bedroom in the middle of the night with the same symbol spray painted on the wall. It took four teenagers to go missing before the San Francisco Police called in the BAU. Hotch called in his team and said to be at the BAU in a half hour they were needed in San Francisco.

" Please come in and sit down we need to move fast." Said Hotch to his team " In the past month four teenagers have been taken from their bedrooms in the middle of the night, Anna More, Jason Coweell , Miranda Tamroson and Leaha Hernadaz. The victim's varied in race and in gender but all were good kids and where all in some sort of honors program at their school the local PD have no idea what is happening to them no bodies have been found and there was no ransom."

" Does anyone know what the symbols in the bedrooms mean?" Asked Reid

" No and none of the local gangs seem to use it either. Replayed Hotch

As the team discussed the details of the case Garcia was studying the symbol she knew she had seen it somewhere but couldn't remember where but it was driving her insane.

" Garcia you are coming with us on this case, we'll need your help going through the kids computers and I want you on cite."

" Sure did the local PD techie find anything?" She asked

" No but we want you to be sure, wheels up in thirty."

On the jet the team was still discussing the dimensions of the case while Penelope was looking up gang symbols to see if any matched the symbol in the kids bedrooms so far she had nothing. But she was sure she had seen the symbol some were

" Hey baby girl whats the face?" Asked the smooth voice of Derek Morgan

" It's nothing my love it's just I know I've seen this symbol before but I can't place were it's driving me crazy!"

" Hey, hey calm down you'll figure it out , in the mean time didn't you grow up in San Fran maybe you just remember it being painted near your home that's all."

" Your probably right but something feels off to me and I just can't place it."
