"Hi plum sauce did you miss me?"
Penelope couldn't make a sound. She looked in the mirror to see Kevin standing behind her. She tried to scream but she couldn't find her voice.
Kevin smiled and said, "Penelope I have missed you. Did you miss me?"
Penelope was frozen like a statue. She somehow found the wit to nod her head yes.
Kevin walked closer to Penelope. His normally disheveled look would have been appreciated. Kevin looked absolutely mad. His shirt was stained, and ripped. His pants were much too big for his frame. Kevin looked and smelled horrible, and his hair was going in every direction but down.
Kevin wrapped his arms around Penelope's waist. Penelope's body recoiled. Kevin pulled her a little tighter against himself.
JJ knocked on the door and said, "Hey Garcie are you okay in there?"
Kevin pulled a knife from his pocket and held it to Penelope's neck.
Kevin sneered and said, "Tell her you are fine, and you will be out in a moment."
Penelope with a shaky voice said, "Yeah Jayje I am fine. I'll be done in a moment."
JJ sighed and said, "Okay P just checking."
Kevin kissed the side of Penelope's head and said, "Good girl."
Penelope whispered, "Kevin how do you plan on us getting out of here?"
"Don't worry Penny I have a plan. We are just going to walk out of here."
"Kevin they aren't just going to let you leave."
Kevin laughed and said, "Oh yes they are. No one wants to hurt precious Penny. I want to see Derek's face when he realizes that I have you now."
Penelope begged, "Please don't do this."
Kevin grabbed Penelope even tighter and said, "My mother is waiting for us. She had something to take care of in Chicago but she should be calling me soon."
Penelope thought to herself, "Shit he doesn't know."
JJ knocked on the door again and asked, "Seriously P I am sure your makeup is fine."
Kevin whispered, "Tell her you are okay, and buy me some more time sweetness."
Penelope took a deep breath and said, "JJ you know it is a real battle, putting on my makeup."
JJ hauled ass to the "war" room.
JJ breathlessly said, "Kevin is in the bathroom with Penelope."
Derek with panic in his voice asked, "How do you know that?"
JJ choked back a sob and said, "She said putting her makeup on was a battle."
An exasperated Derek said, "What is that suppose to mean?"
JJ said, "Don't you think it is odd that Penelope would choose to say battle?"
Derek looked at JJ knew she was exactly right.
Hotch said, "JJ I want you to go back to the bathroom door. Act like you don't suspect anything."
"Rossi I need for you to get a tactical team in here. We need to figure out how the hell Lynch got in here."
Derek raced to his office before Hotch could stop him. He saw his mother, sister, and Erin come out of the elevators. Derek changed his direction and jogged over to them.
Derek quickly said, "Ma'am I need for you to immediately take my mom and sister into your office. Lock the door. Kevin is in the building. We believe he has Penelope hostage."
Fran gasped. Erin ushered the women upstairs immediately.
Derek took off back towards his office. He grabbed a second service revolver and stood next to JJ.
JJ whispered, "Derek you can't just kick the door down. We need a plan."
"JJ I know that."
JJ and Derek heard a loud smack, and then they heard Penelope sob.
Kevin had been trying for over 5 minutes to make Penelope kiss him. She kept pulling away. Kevin had resorted to hitting her.
"Penny why won't you kiss me?" Don't you love me?"
"Kevin I-"
"What is it? Is it Morgan again?"
Kevin wildly said, "When I asked you to pick, you made the wrong choice. Now I have to teach you a lesson."
Kevin slashed at Penelope's dress with his knife.
"Kevin you don't have to do this."
"Yes I do. You will learn today who you belong to."
"Kevin please don't do this. "
"You know Penelope I do have to do this. My mother taught me this was the only way to get what I want. It just so happens I want you."
Kevin had managed to rip Penelope's dress up the middle.
Kevin glared and said, "Penelope you are beautiful."
Kevin limped closer to Penelope.
Penelope turned her head and cried.
She looked back at Kevin. He looked completely out of it.
Penelope set her jaw. She would be damned if she was going to be raped on a bathroom floor in a government building.
Derek was pacing outside. He decided they had waited long enough. Derek raised his foot to kick down the door. Derek lowered his foot when Derek heard what sounded like bone crunching.
Penelope unlocked the bathroom door and ran smack into Derek. Derek pushed Penelope behind him.
Kevin laid on the floor rolling around in agony. Penelope had kicked Kevin in the same spot on the same leg that Rossi did.
Kevin tried to crawl. He reached behind him and pulled a gun out of the back of his shorts. Derek steadied himself and said, "Kevin put the gun down, it's over."
"No its not. If she can't be with me here, than she can be with me in heaven. Kevin had the gun pointed at Penelope, a shot was fired.
Kevin stopped moving. Derek went into the bathroom to check and see if Kevin had a pulse. Kevin had a faint pulse, which was surprising to Derek because, Kevin was shot in the head.
Penelope slumped against JJ and cried. Officers and agents from other departments were gathered around guns drawn. Derek came out of the bathroom and said, "It's over."
Derek saw JJ help Penelope hold her dress together; he scooped Penelope up in his arms and let his tears fall on her shoulder.
Derek whispered, "Baby girl I am so proud of you."
Medics rushed in the bathroom. They placed Kevin on a gurney. Kevin was screaming in his head that Penelope would be his, but no sound was coming out of his mouth.
Kevin slipped into blackness.
Hotch and Rossi cleared the floor of the agents and officers that didn't need to be there.
Derek carried Penelope up the stairs that led to Strauss' office.
Derek knocked announced himself, and Strauss let him in.
Fran and Desiree jumped off the couch so Derek could sit down with Penelope.
Penelope finally allowed herself to cry.
Erin broke the silence first by asking, "Derek what do you need?"
Derek softly asked, "Can you get my go bag out of my office. I need to get Penelope in some clothes."
Fran looked into Derek's eyes. She placed her hand on his shoulders and asked, "Derek was she-"
"No mom she wasn't." Derek smiled a little and said, "She broke Kevin's leg and saved herself."
Desiree could feel her own tears pools behind her eyes and said, "Now that is a Morgan woman."
There was a quiet knock on Strauss' door. Reid walked in with his hands in his pockets and said, "Penelope I heard what you did." Reid's voice got caught in his throat. He steadied himself and said, "Penelope I am so proud of you. I don't know what I would have done without you."
Penelope looked at Reid and cried harder.
Reid stumbling over his words said, "Garcia I am so sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry."
Penelope smiled and said, "No my Junior G man, it's what I needed to hear."
Just then Erin came back in the room she handed Derek his go bag. He asked everyone to step out.
Penelope looked at Derek. She said, "Derek don't leave me. Stay please."
Derek whispered, "Just try and get rid of me."
After Penelope was changed she grabbed Derek's hand and they walked out of Strauss' office."
One of the girls in counter terrorism whispered to Reid, "She is one badass agent."
Reid said, "Actually she is our technical analyst."
The girl was shocked. Technical analyst don't even get hand to hand training.
