Penelope hadn't heard a peep out of anyone all day. She was starving and as she paced the floor she wondered how long it would take her team to find her. Subconsciously she rubbed her stomach her mind was on Della and Derek; she could only imagine what they must be going through. What had he told their daughter about mommy being gone and how was he dealing with the guilt of not saving her before the men took her. She didn't blame him but she knew her husband and she knew he would blame himself.

The door to her room opened and in walked the woman whom she'd seen the night before. Her face was black and blue and she was nothing like the confident woman who had ordered the two men out of the room less than twelve hours ago. Penelope wanted to ask her what had happened but she remained silent as she watched the woman carry in a tray and place it on the round table on the opposite side of the room.

"I hope you like chicken soup. Master Lynch wants you to eat and freshen up. He'll be in shortly to see you."

Without another word she turned and headed to the door. Penelope wondered how she could be a part of a plan to hurt another woman. She wondered if it would make a difference if the woman knew that she was pregnant.

"What happened to you?"

Mabel turned slowly to face Penelope.

"Did he do that to you? Your face and neck they're all bruised."

Mabel's hand slowly went to the side of her face and then her neck. Without answering her questions, the older woman turned to leave.

"Please don't let him hurt me. I have a daughter and she's only three years old."

Mabel placed her hand on the knob.

"She doesn't deserve to lose her mommy."

Mabel leaned her forehead against the door.

"I'm pregnant."

Mabel felt the tears falling from her eyes as she opened the door now to leave.

"Help me, please!"

She couldn't hear it anymore she felt despicable yet she knew what would happen if she betrayed Daniel again. She knew all along that Daniel was going to hurt this woman and her husband but she pretended to be ignorant. Her son was disturbed beyond reason and she'd learned firsthand earlier that morning as he pulled her down onto the kitchen floor and raped her. What had happened to him and what had happened to her to stand by and let him go through with his plans?

Without a promise to help the woman or an explanation for turning a blind eye to her son's vile behavior she stepped out of the room closed the door and locked the woman inside. As she walked down the long hallway she wondered what their captive would think if she knew that Daniel was her son.

Morgan slowly opened his eyes against the dim lighting of the room. He was alone and his senses were on high alert knowing that this was the beginning of whatever Daniel Lynch had in mind for him and Penelope. It was obvious that there was more to the room than the blank thick walls and cement floor. There were no windows and no furniture. Slowly he pulled himself to his feet immediately realizing that whatever he was drugged with was still in his system he felt wobbly for a few minutes then his head continued to clear. He wondered where she was and if she was okay and if she would be joining him soon. Walking slowly around the room he examined the walls running his hands up and down and around looking for a clue of what was about to happen. With each touch the wall seemed to be getting warmer and warmer until they were too hot to touch. The temperature in the room was rising steadily and Derek felt beads of sweat on his forehead. This was the beginning of Lynch's sick plan, he thought and wondered how hot it would actually get and if he'd survive.

The sound of the door startled her and she jumped to her feet. Daniel Lynch entered noticing that she hadn't touched her food.

"You haven't eaten, I see. You're going to need your strength, trust me."

She wondered what he had in mind as he approached staring intently into her eyes.

"I have a surprise for you."

He pulled a remote control from his pocket and pointed at the large screen that was mounted on the wall. Pressing the, "On" button the screen quickly jumped to life. There he was, her husband, in an empty room pacing and sweating profusely.

"Derek!" She whispered to herself.

"Here's your Knight-in-Shining Armor! Let's see how he gets out of this one."

Daniel relished in the look of horror on Penelope's face.

"What are you doing to him? Why is he sweating?"

"I've created that room especially for my special guest. The temperatures can vary from sub zero to over 500 degrees. The human body is not designed to tolerate such extremes but I'm sure you already know that."

"Please, let him go! Don't do this!"

"Neither of you would be here if you had not betrayed my son. This is your fault! Once he's dead who will save you then?"

"My team will be here! They'll find you and when they do…"

"But they won't! I took great care in making sure of it. I warned your dear soon-to-be departed husband that if he told anyone where he was going I'd kill you."

Penelope with tears falling from her eyes rushed closer to the screen placing her hand on it as if she could touch him. Daniel followed her and stood closely behind her. She cringed when she felt his hands on her shoulders rubbing them and squeezing them as he pulled her against his chest. She closed her eyes and stiffened under his touch.

"Why are you doing this? It's not going to bring Kevin back. Derek killed him in self-defense. He had no choice!"

"Oh but he did my beautiful Penelope. We all have choices. You didn't have to cheat on Kevin and humiliate him but you chose to do so and now you and your, husband must suffer the consequences."

Daniel delicately began to play with her hair leaning in to inhale the fragrance smiling and anticipating the joy he'd get from making them suffer. Then when he grew tired of them he'd kill them with his own hands.

BAU Headquarters –

The team was gathered in the conference room discussing the case when Hotch's phone rang. All conversation stopped and focused breathlessly on him.

"You're on speaker!"

With Penelope gone, they were relying on a new technical analyst for help. The young woman had tall heels to fill and they needed her to rise to the occasion.

"Morgan's phone is pinging about ten miles from here in the abandoned section of the financial district." She said nervously.

"This is Mandy Waters our TA for this case."

"Hello, Mandy." The others said in unison.

"There's one more thing, Sir."

"What is it?"

"We got an ID on the man in the security footage."

"Who is it?" Rossi cut in.

"Daniel Lynch."

"Please tell me that last name is just a coincidence." JJ pleaded.

"No Ma'am. Daniel Lynch is Kevin Lynch's father."

"He's out for revenge against Morgan for killing his son." Reid added.

"He's out for revenge against Garcia too; she chose Morgan over Kevin." Rossi added. "If we don't find them it's not going to end well for either of them."

"Send his address to our phones."

"Already done, Sir."

"Good work, Mandy."

They all looked around at each other nodding; they were impressed with the young woman.

Without another word they all jumped out of their seats and headed out to the elevators. Once in the garage, Hotch sent Reid and Rossi to the address where Morgan's phone was pinging while he and JJ headed to the Lynch estate.

Home of Daniel Lynch –

The room was unbearably hot and he was drenched in sweat. It was hard to think, to see and stand. He no longer had control of his legs as his body hit the floor in a thud. He had to get out of the room; it was getting too hard to breath and now his skin felt as if it were on fire.

"I'll make a deal with you."

Penelope refusing to take her eyes off of the screen wondered what sick game he was playing.

"What?"

"If you have a drink with me, then I'll lower the temperature in his room. In fact, I'll cool it off so that he can relax and rest."

"What's the catch?"

"No catch. I just want to have a drink with a beautiful lady, that's all."

"Okay, I'll have a drink with you."

"Good! Mabel makes the best lemonade! I think that's an appropriate drink right now don't you?"

He tilted his head back and laughed from his belly as he left the room. She leaned her head against the screen and even though she knew he couldn't hear her she pleaded with him to hang on.

The room was beginning to cool off or so he thought. Perhaps he was just delirious; maybe this was how it felt just before…no he couldn't think about dying he had to save Penelope he couldn't die not yet.

Penelope refused to turn around and acknowledge his return. He knew that it was her act of defiance but he didn't care. In fact, he admired her stubbornness. It would make the evening with her fun as he took her against her will. Resuming his place behind her he handed her a glass of ice-cold lemonade.

"How's he doing? As promised I turned off the heat. He should be cooling off by now."

She remained silent trying to ignore him and keeping her focus on Derek. Then she watched as he stood up and began his pacing again rubbing his hands over his arms. He was shivering and trying to keep warm.

"What did you do?" She shouted.

"I turned off the heat just like I promised. Now, drink up."

"He's shivering! Why is he shivering?"

"That is what normally happens when the temperature starts to drop."

"You bastard! You're killing him!"

"That's the plan! Then you'll be mine and when I'm finished with you, I'll kill you too!"

He began running his hand down the side of her face. Repulsed she jerked away from his touch. He laughed not phased by her rejection.

"Don't do this, please!"

Now he had her where he wanted her. He knew she wouldn't be able to watch him suffer; she'd do anything to save his life as he would to save hers. So, confidently he drained his glass and set it on the dresser.

"What would you do to save his life?"

Her stomach turned at his question. She couldn't bear to see him die before her eyes. What would Della and their unborn child do without him? He was her world and her heart.

She'd do anything to save him.
