AN: So I thought I was going to be able to keep you all in suspense a little longer, but I just had to keep writing! So I hope you enjoy!!!

Penelope felt herself falling to the ground. She could hear the sounds of gun shots firing behind her and her the sound of Rebecca screaming. She hit the ground hard. She couldn't breathe. There was no pain in her chest. Just the feel of some one's body covering her. She closed her eyes tightly as she tried to block out what was happening around her. She needed to find her happy place. But she couldn't. She wasn't in the comforts of her lair. She was in the field because her precious newbies had brought her along. She allowed him to lead her to the SUV and put on the bullet proof vest with out question. He had needed her, and like the love sick puppy she had become around him, she followed him loyally.

Now she was laying on the gravel driveway with a body on top of her and gunshots coming from every direction. She tried to squirm out from under who ever was laying on top of her, but they held her down.

"Stay down Penelope." She heard him whisper in her ear. She could hear the panic in his voice and felt something warm and wet on her finger tips. She lifted her hand slightly to see her fingers where red. Some one was bleeding. He reached up and brought her hand back down out of her sight. "You don't need to see that."

"Oh my God, Luke are you shot?" Penelope asked in panic. She could still hear Rebecca screaming in the distance. Yelling out for Luke to answer her. She knew how the girl felt. She could feel the panic welling up inside of her. Why hadn't Luke gotten to his feet yet and started shooting with the others? Was he dying there as she did absolutely nothing but allow him to lay on top of her.

Slowly the gun fire died out. Luke looked up at her then glanced over his shoulder at Rebecca. "I'm fine Rebecca."

He then turned his full attention back to Penelope. "Are you ok?"

"Me! What about you! What the hell happened?" Penelope demanded as Luke sat up and helped her sit up as well. She could see his arm was bleeding a bit, but the rest of him seemed to be intact.

"Why the hell didn't you just stay in the damn SUV!" Like growled at her as he put his hands on her shoulders. "You could have been killed Penelope! He tried to shoot you!"

"Don't you dare yell at me, Luke!" Penelope spat back at him. "I was trying to help. They where going to kill the both of you!"

"I had it handled!" Luke yelled back at her. "Do you really think I'd just let them take you!"

"Uh yeah Newbie." Penelope said with a roll of her eyes as she pushed him away from her. "The whole point was to show you'd give up anything to save Rebecca! Why didn't you just let me go!"

"Because I couldn't!" Luke demanded and his eyes softened as he looked at her. Penelope looked at him in complete shock. "I couldn't let them get the chance of taking you."

Luke took a hold of her again and pulled her into his lap as he held her close to him.

"Luke..." Penelope started but Luke shushed her.

"Just let the moment happen Chica." Luke said with a small chuckle. "You don't need to open your mouth and ruin it. Just let me hold on to you till my heart stops trying to jump out of my chest."

Penelope looked up at him in shock. She felt him place a kiss on her forehead and before she could comprehend what was going on. He placed a light kiss on her lips.

"Next time just stay put Penelope." Luke said tightening his grip around her. "I thought I was going to lose you."

Penelope turned in his arms and looked deep into his eyes. "I knew I was safe with you Luke. That's why I came out of the SUV. I knew I was safe."

Luke shook his head and got the both of them to their feet. "But you weren't.

"But I am." Penelope smiled back at him.

"Are you really going to argue with me on this?" Luke seemed amused by that and brushed a piece of stray hair behind her ear. He let his had slid behind her neck as he slowly guided her closer to him. He leaned down and smirked. "I'm pretty sure I'd win that argument."

Penelope opened her mouth to protest but was quickly silenced by Luke's lips on hers. This time it wasn't an innocent peck like the one before. He was determined to get a real kiss from her and she happy obliged.

The rest of the team raced over to Rebecca when they realized Luke and Penelope where ok and Luke was getting Penelope to sit up.

"Are you ok?" Reid asked worriedly as he quickly got the girl untied. He had become fond of the girl, being the one that had been working with her the most. He wasn't sure what had gone on between her and Luke or why this had happened to her. But he was glad that she was still alive. He had liked working with the girl. and Even though she didn't understand most of what he rambled off, she let him ramble till he was done. And on a few occasions used him as her personal google just for entertainment. She seemed to get him from the start.

"Yeah I'm good." Rebecca said as she slowly got to her feet with his assistance. "Other than a sore rib... "

Rebecca was looking past the rest of the team with a shocked expression on her face. They turned to see Luke and Penelope locked in a passionate and playful kiss.

"Well that happened sooner than I had expected." Reid said as the rest of the team glared at him. He looked at them confused then took another look at Rebecca. She turned away from what she has witnessed and Reid put two and two together.

"Come on, let's get you out of here." Reid said taking the girl in his arms and leading her to the SUV he had road in. He tried to guard her from seeing the two love birds. She didn't need to see the back of Luke's bullet proof vest peppered in buckshot and the sleeve of his shirt stained with blood as he kissed another woman. A woman he had jumped in the line of fire to save. A woman he clearly had feelings for. No Rebecca didn't need to see the man she loved, kissing another woman.
