It took Penelope another 3 days to even go near her house and she refused to take Derek. She knew that Derek would literally attempt to rip Kevin limb for limb and for now she wanted to get a couple of bags of her stuff and leave. No arguments, no qualms, just in and out. So Emily accompanied her to the house and they walked into find Kevin sitting at the dining room table, pictures everywhere, beer cans everywhere.

He looked up and jumped up, and went towards her, a partial stumble. "Penny! You came back." He smiled and then Emily stepped in behind Penelope and Kevin's smile dropped. His goofy grin completely going. "You're not coming home I'm guessing."

"No I'm not." Penelope then proceeded to grab a couple of carrier bags and filled them with random bits and pieces from the living room and dining room. "I won't be either. This place is going on sale as soon as."

"No!" He grabbed her arm hard. "This is my home."

"That I pay for!" Penelope said and snatched her arm down. "I have the law on my side Kevin, I'm the one that puts more into it, I get the more money out of it. It's going on sale; we're selling and having nothing else to do with each other afterwards."

"You cannot do this. It was one mistake."

"Months long mistake eh Kevin? Well let her have you because I don't want you anymore." Penelope then went up stairs and Emily followed but only moments later so did Kevin.

"Prentiss get out of my house." He spat and Emily just blocked the stairway. "Move, I want to discuss this with my girlfriend."

"Na uh, you're drunk and I bear witness to everything you do." She refused him and could see the anger beginning to building. "I could easily get Morgan here." Kevin saw red and grabbed Emily, pushing her out of his way he watched her fall and hit her head on the wall as she went. He then charged into the bedroom and grabbed Penelope's hands away from the bag she was packing.

"You aren't leaving to go to him!"

"Kevin I am not having this conversation with you when you're this drunk." Penelope could feel the feeling in her stomach of dread growing, Kevin never got drunk because he got a little too violent and he refused to ever get like that so always stand sober.

"Come home Penny. Please." He pleaded with her and followed her as she went into the bathroom, he saw Emily getting up as he passed the door and slammed it shut and locked it and pulled the key out and threw it. "Penny, you know you love me; you know we're meant to be. Forget about Michelle, she's a distant memory. I just want you home." Penelope came out of the bathroom and threw in what she needed to her bag, still refusing to meet eye contact and still ignoring his plea's. "This is your home."

"No! My home is with someone that loves me! My home is with someone that isn't going to sleep around behind my back and home is with the man that I'm in love with!" Kevin flipped at that, he wasn't the apple of Penelope's eyes like he had thought the other night, he wasn't her number one trophy and it didn't taken him much to realise just what was her ultimate trophy. "You broke this relationship the moment you got into bed with another women and you disrespected me the most when you brought her home to sleep in our bed!" The tears began pouring out now. "So don't you dare beg and plead Kevin because it isn't going to work, I'm not coming home and you can do with yourself what you want to do."

"You're coming home because I said so." He stepped in front of her, scaring her with his aggressive body language. "You are not leaving this house, you will tell Emily to leave and bring the rest of your things back and you'll come to bed tonight and forgive me."

"No!" Penelope stood her ground and Kevin got her pinned to the wall furthest from the door and the bathroom. "I'm not, I'm leaving for good." Kevin was running hands all over her and for once in her life she was completely and utterly disgusted with the feel of it all. She did the one thing she knew to in that moment, one thing Derek told her to do if she was ever desperate to get out of the grips out of an attacker. She lifted her foot, she still had heels on thankfully, and she slammed her foot down into his foot and he howled out and backed off. She released she had lost one heel as she went for the door, she heard banging on the other side, but there was no key and just as she looked down in a quick search and all she could hear was Derek and Emily, Kevin pulled her across the room and slammed her back into the wall, completely winding her as he went. He then put his hands around her neck as he over powered her and he allowed his body to loom over her dominantly and he could see the fear.

"You're staying." He ground out between gritted teeth.

Penelope put her hands up to remove his hands, to release their grip from her throat, but she was beginning to panic. The air was getting short and she couldn't breathe at all. She couldn't get an air in. "K-Kevin." She said as she began to cry as the lack of breath began to take note and as her body and mind went to give up the door flew open and Derek came in and she watched as it all happened quickly. One minute she was up against the wall, her feet so nearly off the floor and the next she was slumped on the floor, gasping and coughing.

Emily got on the floor with Penelope and picked her form up supportively. "We need to get you out of here."

"Not yet." She heaved as she tried to get air in. She couldn't move then, she was frozen as she tried to breathe to get the oxygen she was starved of back.

Derek had never felt that angry in his life but seeing Penelope being strangled released a whole new world of protectiveness and hardened his need to help. His baby girl was near enough killed and all he could think to do was beat the crap out of Kevin and so he did right up and until an officer pulled him off Kevin's unconscious body.

"Get off me." He said with a gruff voice as he shook the officer off and went to Penelope. He got next to her as a paramedic checked her over.

"I'm fine." She said as her pulse was taken and she looked at Derek. "You done now cave man?"

"Miss Garcia, it might be better to avoid speaking for the moment. We don't know what damage to your trachea occurred. It's best to rest it until we get to the hospital."

"I don't need a hospital." Penelope told them defiantly. "I'm fine."

"Miss, with all due respect it's best to get you checked over to be safer than sorry."

"You're going Baby Girl and that's final." Derek told her and ran a hand over her head, brushing some messy curls back. "JJ can grab your bag later, but I think you're officially done here."

"I so am."

"No talking okay?" Derek soothed her as he took her hand in his; he was going to make sure she listened too. Penelope pouted and Derek leant in and whispered to her. "Kisses for silence?" She tilted her head as he backed off and the pout disappeared. "I thought so." He told her and then gave her a kiss. "Keep it up."

Neither of them took a second glance of Kevin as he now stood complaining of assault.
