The next morning the team woke up and headed back to the station to go over things they might have missed. They got to the station and went over everything again until Penelope called with new information.
She gave them more information on the victims, all of the victims had gym memberships to the same gym. And that certain victims only showed up on certain days.
Rossi had found a badge at one of the dump sites that belonged to James Daniels. Garcia took that lead and it was connected to a trainer at the gym where the victims worked out at.
Garcia tracked down his address and gave it to them. The team left the station and headed for the address.
Aaron makes his way around the house with Reid as his backup. They headed up the back stairs and into the house. Before Reid could enter the door shut and locked. On the inside Aaron was knocked unconscious.
Hours later Aaron was recovered and wheeled into an ambulance and off to the hospital and Rossi called Penelope, while the UNSUB was wheeled off to the morgue.
At the Hospital Penelope barreled into The hospital waiting rooms.
"What the hell happened?" Penelope screeched
"We got separated when the door closed" Reid said
"They got caught off guard, kitten" Rossi said
"Well, is he alright?" Penelope asked
"That's what were waiting on" Morgan said and the doctor came forward.
"How is he?" Penelope asked
"He's in recovery. He has a concussion, a broken leg, a few bruised ribs, a black eye and more bruises all over. But other than that he is completely fine." The doctor said
"Can we see him?" Rossi asked
"Yes, he is in room 223" The doctor said before walking off. Penelope bolted for the room and went straight for Aaron when she entered the room.
"Oh, Aaron" Penelope said
"Penny, I'm okay" Aaron said
"Tell that to you hospital chart" Penelope said sarcastically "You scared me"
"I didn't mean to. I'm sorry" Aaron said
"Yeah, well you better be" Penelope said
"When can I get out of here?" Aaron asked
"You can leave here tomorrow. We want to make sure your injuries are healing properly" The Doctor said entering the room
"Ugh" Aaron groaned
"Ugh is right, Aaron Hotchner. You had everyone worried sick about you" Penelope said
"I'm sorry Penny." Aaron said moving his better hand to her face and caressing her cheek. She sighed and turned her face and kissed his hand.
"This does not mean you are forgiven" Penelope said
"I know" Aaron said
"When you are discharged from here tomorrow, you will need someone to look after you, considering your injuries" The doctor said
"He will." Penelope said and the doctor left
"Looks like you've got yourself a new nurse" Penelope said
"Is that you, nurse Penelope?" Aaron asked
"Why, of course" Penelope said
"Are you going to wear a sexy nurse outfit?" Aaron groaned thinking about the image
"Only if you're a good patient" Penelope said
"And if I'm not?" Aaron asked
"Then nurse Penelope goes home" Penelope said teasingly
"Then I guess I better be good" Aaron said
"Yes I guess you better be" Penelope said and kissed his cheek
