Disclaimer: As always, I will announce that I have NEVER claimed, nor will I EVER claim, to have owned Criminal Minds or the lovely characters that are in it. That is the work of the writers (please come off of strike) and the brillaint actors and actresses.

So I was wrong. I'll be updating a lot because nothing is on TV and my life is very boring. Please guys, review after you read? I'd love that so much. And thanks for the suggestions. I've taken them to mind.


Hotch sighed, "Pen, if you do this and anything happens, you do understand none of us could get by with out you, don't you?"

Pen grinned. "Your goddess is going to be fine."

Hotch shook his head, "I'll only agree if Derek agrees to go with you."

"But then he won't stop me," disagreed Pen.

"If Derek hides, he will." said JJ.

"But do you really think your brother would text you and tell you he is going to kill you?" asked Derek.

Pen shrugged, "I don't know, but don't you think its worth a try?" she asked. "I want to catch this guy..."

"We do too, Pen," said Hotch, "but I don't know if I want to risk your life in the process."

Penelope rolled her eyes. "Look, you all know how stubborn I am! I'm not going to give up and if you don't let me do this with your permission, I'll go ahead and do it without your permission."

Derek shook his head with a smile. "It seems the goddess has spoken."

Emily laughed lightly, "I guess so."

About two hours later, when it was dark, Penelope got dressed and ready to go. "Don't worry 'bout me, 'kay, JJ?"

JJ nodded and wrapped her arms tightly around her friend. "Don't get hurt, okay?"

"I have no intention," she smiled happily.

Pen and Derek went to her car, where Derek got in the back. Hotch followed them, and as Pen got in the driver's seat, Hotch stopped her. "I want you to speed so that he will stop you," he said. "Put this on your bumper, too, and take this phone. It isn't yours, so he won't recognize the number when he texts you." He handed her a bumper sticker that had a phone number on it, along with a name that said something along the lines of a Hair Salon.

Derek sighed, "Do you really think he is going to fall for this, Hotch?" he asked.

"I think he will. Pen's blonde, you can see that when the hood is down, which it is, but you can't see her face. Dont' worry, we have this under control."

Pen nodded, "I'll be safe," she said, putting her real cell phone in her pocket. She put a cover over the back seat where Derek crouched on the floor so that nobody could see him, and drove off after Hotch put the bumper sticker on the car.

As she pulled onto the empty highway, she began to speed up, and watched as the highway patrolman watched her fly by.

Pen's heart sped up as her cell phone buzzed and the message came onto the screen. "U die 2night." Unknown. Typical.

Pen listened as he sped up and she pulled to the side of the road, closing her eyes for a moment before looking back.

The man pulled to the side of the road and put the kick stand down on his motorcycle, then walked to the side of Pen's car. Pen didn't look up until his helmet was off.

Eddie's eyes widdened, "Penelope?" the man asked in a stunned voice.

"Hello Eddie," she said, disappointedly.

"Um. You...you didn't tell me you were in town." he said and looked down at the gun which he was holding.

"You didn't tell me you moved, yet, here you are. I recieved the message."

"You...did?" he asked, suddenly backing slightly away from the car.

Derek removed the cover, and stood up in the back of the convertable, pointing his gun at Eddie. "Drop the gun, Eddie Garcia, your under arrest for the text message killer murders."

Eddie defensively held his gun toward Pen. "Drop your gun and let me go, or I shoot."

Pen shut her eyes tight, and as she heard a loud gunshot.


I had to leave the cliffie. Was it Eddie who got shot? Or Derek? plays theatrical and dramatic music in the background Reviews por favor.
