Once Brooks left the office, Luke turned and looked at Penelope. "Are you okay?" He asked her worriedly, checking her over to make sure she was okay.

"Geesh, Mom. I'm okay." Penelope said sarcastically.

"I'm being serious here. Are you really okay?" Luke said looking her straight in the eye.

Penelope looked in his eyes and saw that he was being honest. He was really worried about her.

"What's going on?" She asked him and he shrugged.

"No. No, you don't get to do that. You don't get to act worried and then brush me off. I know that there is something going on and I know that something has you worried. What is it?" Penelope demanded.

Luke sighed and answered, "I just don't trust him. And Hotch said that he was having a bad feeling. The thing is, I don't either."

"You were worried that he would hurt me?" Garcia asked him. When he didn't answer, she let out a gasp. "I'm right, aren't I? You were worried about me." Garcia stated.

"Well you are a part of this team." Luke said brushing her off.

Garcia looked hurt, but quickly hid it hoping that Luke wouldn't see it. I can't believe I thought he would be worried about me. No one ever is. Except for maybe Derek.

"Well, you don't have to worry, be..." She was cut off, by Luke.

"Cause you can take care of yourself." He finished for her. "I got it." Luke said.

Penelope sat down and continued working. Luke walked to the seat next to her and sat down beside her.

"What are you doing?" She asked him.

"I told you. Working with you." Luke replied with a smile on his face.

"I don't need you here to work with me. I can do that on my own." Garcia snapped.

"What's wrong with you? I told you that Hotch sent me to sit here and work with you." Luke said raising his voice a little bit, but making sure that no one else heard him.

Penelope didn't answer, but rolled her eyes.

After 20 minutes, Penelope was fed up with him being there with her. "Can you go find me a good caesar salad with grilled chicken in it? I'm hungry." She asked Luke, trying to get rid of him.

Luke looked at her and said, "Alright. Call me if you need anything else." With that, Luke left to go and get Penelope's food.

As soon as Luke left, Brooks was at Garcia's temporary office door. "Well, it seems your little boyfriend has gone. Did they catch a break in the case?" He asked.

When she heard a voice behind her, she jumped in fright. She knew who it was and she regretted asking Luke to leave and get her something to eat.

"He only went to get a salad. He will be right back."

Garcia replied not correcting him on the boyfriend part. Maybe he would leave her alone.

Brooks nodded his head and dragged his eyes down her body.

"Could i help you with something, Officer Brooks?" Penelope asked trying not to let her fear and disgust show.

"In more ways than one." Officer Brooks responded wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"If you don't have any news or updates on the case, can you please leave. I really need to finish working." Penelope asked hoping he would take the hint.

Raising his hand and walking away, he said, "Take it easy, baby. I was just checking on you."

Once he left, Garcia sent a message to Luke.

Hurry back. Please. -P

Miss me already. -L

No. I'm just starving. -P

Do you want anything else while I'm out? -L

No. Just hurry back. -P

Okay. On my way back now. - L

Thank you for getting me food. -P

No problem. -L

Penelope put her phone in her bag and continued to do he searches for the team.

Meanwhile, Officer Brooks is on his phone outside the precinct, making sure to check that no one was coming.

"Yeah. I'm going to get her. I just have to make sure to keep her away from that agent who they sent to sit with her." Brooks told the person on the other end of the phone.

"Well, make sure that you let me know. I really want to meet this girl." The person said. "Hopefully she is as pretty as you said she is."

"Oh she is." Brooks said with a smile.

"Well, keep me posted." The person said and hung up.

Then Brooks turned and headed back inside. He saw Luke and immediately got angry. The nerve of him to interrupt me. He thought. I need to get him out of the way. Once and for all.

At the medical examiner's office, JJ and Reid were examining the body of the first victim and Hotch was examining the second body. The ME was looking at them.

"What are these marks on the back? They look like burn marks." Hotch asked looking at the body.

"That's because they are. From an object like a hot rod or pole." The ME confirmed.

"Sp he's burning his victims. But why?" JJ asked as they continued to examine the bodies.

Luke walked into the office where Penelope was sitting in front of her computers with a bag in his hand.

"I have your salad here." He said as he handed her the bag.

Penelope turned and looked at him. "Thank you for going to getting it for me. I was really starving."

"No problem." Luke said. "So, just out of curiosity, Officer Brooks haven't been in here since I left." Luke asked her looking in her eyes.

Penelope suddenly stopped and looked at Luke. "What?" she asked him.

"It's just that when you text me, I found it odd. It was almost as if you were begging me to hurry back out of fear." Luke said.

"You're profiling me?" Penelope asked getting upset.

"I'm just saying that I saw the relief in your eyes when I came in earlier. I have no doubt that he would have tried to come on to you again after I left." Luke said hoping that she would see his point of view.

Penelope was upset. How dare he say that she was scared of someone. No! Brooks just irritated her.

Officer Brooks came in the room and saw the bag in Penelope's lap. "So it seems that you lied to me. You were hungry after all." He said looking at Penelope with an evil glare.

"Well, I suddenly had a taste for a salad. Agent Alvez was just nice enough to go and get it for me." Penelope said not looking at Officer Brooks.

"But I don't like liars. And I thought that you were a nice person until now." Brooks yelled getting angry.

"Well, maybe she didn't want to bother you." Luke said trying not to get angry that he thought he could come and raise his voice at Penelope.

"Maybe she didn't want to bother you." Brooks said mockingly. "Looks like the boyfriend is trying to take up for his bitch." Brooks said.

With that, Luke stood up and walked towards Brooks getting in his face. "I advise you to leave this room right now before I do something that I will probably regret." He hissed at Brooks.

With a shake of his head and a smirk, Brooks walked out of the room to his desk.
