Derek froze as he was dancing with Emily and JJ; he looked around, scanning for Penelope but couldn't find her.

'Derek you okay?'

'Um, yeah, just felt like someone walked over my grave.' He said and looked at the table. 'Why's Pen not back in?'

'Well the calls were getting longer and longer and if she's mid techno speech she'll be away for a while.'

'You're right.' He said doubtfully but the pit of his stomach told him to go check, going outside he saw his wife pacing on the phone and smiled, she smiled at him, then winked and he headed back in. 'That's looking like one long phone call.' He said dropping into the chair next Hotch. 'How did we get so lucky?'

'No idea Derek but it's definitely the good life.' He said and put his beer up for him to hit. 'So nearly getting to 2 years of marriage for you two, how's that feel?'

'Feels like only yesterday I watched her walk down that aisle.' He said with a smile as he finished his beer. 'We're thinking that we're gonna start trying for a baby, with work calming down somewhat we're really eager and we're not getting any younger.'

'Well then that strengthens mine and Dave's fight against Strauss.'

'I heard my name.' Rossi said sitting down with a new round of drinks. 'Talking about Strauss?'

'Yep.'

'It's okay, she's a pussy cat really you just need to know how to deal with her.' He told them precisely. 'I'll go first thing tomorrow.'

'Thanks Rossi.' Derek said as he kept his attention between dance floor and door. Something wasn't allowing him to settle and relax.

Penelope was paralyzed as the cold metal steel continually drove into her body, she had a hand clamped over her mouth so any attempt to scream was not only exhausting but completely worthless, she had one hand on the man's shoulder staring at him wide eyed as she tried to push him off her and then just like that she was on the cold wet ground of the alley, unable to move at all. The darkness slipping in and out, tears streaming her face, the warmth of her own blood pouring out of her body.

'I'm gonna go get her.' Derek said standing up, it'd been another 10 minutes and he was getting impatient, he wanted her to come out to get her away from the office and work but so far she'd had minimal fun and a lot of work.

'Ring her mobile, if it's engaged you know she's still on it, if it rings then go find her.' Derek nodded at Emily's idea and rang it, finding it still engaged he hung up and sat back.

'You know this town could be the making of us.' Penelope heard voices from the entrance of the alleyway, she was scared and she needed help except every time she opened her mouth to scream for help nothing came out, it was as though her ability to talk had been taken from her. She kept trying but in the end just resulted in crying with pain and fear.

'I reckon it could be.' One of the men said, he put his arm around the man next to him. 'The doctor, the FBI man, and the entrepreneurs.' He said happily.

'So, last night to get legless, how we gonna do this?'

'I think we'll have to start here and do a pub crawl.'

'J, I like your thinking.'

'Always did bro.' He said back with a smile. 'So are we getting Andy the doctor, or Andy the brother?'

'It depends if there are any hot females that have a thing for doctors.'

'I definitely like that plan, how many woman you reckon gonna want an agent?'

'Flash your badge and find out.' Another said and looked at one of them. 'Andy what's wrong?'

'I don't know, hang on, I keep hearing something down the alley.'

'It's probably a fox or a rat.'

'No.' He said and they listened closer, he took steps closer to the darkened area.

Penelope heard footsteps getting closer and she could feel herself getting weaker but she managed to grab some stones and throw them against the bin by the opposite wall but still she stayed in the heap just wanting someone familiar to come to her.

'What was that?'

'Someone's crying back there.'

'Got your lighter Ben?' One of them said and got handed a lighter, he flicked it on and walked into the alleyway, he froze. 'There's blood.' He said and walked into further, it was then he saw the figure on the floor. 'Get an ambulance one of you, and someone go get some towels or anything from inside the bar.' He crept in, the men behind him yet to spring into action. 'Miss.' He said as he got near her and swept some hair from her face, he fell back then in shock. 'Penny?' He looked up at the men. 'Go! It's Penelope.'

'D-derek.' She said stuttering. 'He's in...' She coughed some. 'Bar.'

'Go in and get help and find Derek.'

Penelope grabbed his hand. 'An-dy.' She spread out slowly and the tears came faster.

The three other men ran in, disbelief filling them more and more. 'Help!' One of them said banging on the bar, everyone looked. 'Help, please, there's a woman hurt in the alley.'

Sam ran over. 'How hurt?'

'She's bleeding pretty badly, please we need help.'

Derek was frozen at the bar. 'What does she look like?'

'She called Penelope Garcia.' He asked hoping that'd be easier than a description.

'Penelope.' Derek repeated as the shock and grief took over him

'Are you Derek?'

'Yeah.' Derek replied shaking.

'She's asking for you, we had to find you.' One of them looked at Sam as he came out with towels and rags; he left the other bar tender to sort it out.

'Get an ambulance and police.' He said and ran outside. 'Where is she?'

'In the alley, our brother's with her, he's a doctor.' Derek followed, he'd come to life and ran into the alley and straight to Penelope.

'Baby girl.' He said crying as he looked at his wife on the floor, he got down by her head and grabbed her hand. 'It's going to be okay.'

'Penny, I need you to keep calm and continue to take deep breaths.'

'Penny?' Derek asked confused, only she allowed him to call her that and he knew there were only a select number of people that called her that.

'She's my sister.'
