"The rest of the day had passed by fast with Derek, Penelope, Fran, and JJ all talking and making plans, Fran and Derek were talking about one thing, and JJ, Penelope, and Emily were talking about what clothes and items she wanted to have brought to the Rossi mansion for her stay at her new temporary home.

Bryan had gotten off guard duty a little after 5:00 and was currently following his latest victim, another unfortunate Penelope look alike and she fit all of the requirements perfectly as he waited patiently for her to go into her home. He smiled as he saw a light go on upstairs, he got out of his car, made it around to the back of the house, and then put his mask on before making his way inside the beautiful two-story house.

The woman was currently in the shower and didn't have a care in the world, little did she know that her world was about to get turned upside down and that she would never get her carefree life back again. He had made his way inside and upstairs to her bedroom where he put his tape in the top drawer of her bedside table, he then got into the closet and watched as she made her way out of the bathroom and into the bedroom wrapped in only a towel.

"From his place in the closet he watched as she leaned over and picked up her clothes and tossed them into her hamper, she then cleaned up some water from the bathroom floor before she turned off the lights and started slowly making her way into the bedroom. He licked his lips and thought, "soon you'll be mine" as she hung her clothes up for work the next morning before making her way across the room to the dresser.

He grinned as he watched her reach into the top drawer of her dresser, he saw her pull out a red nighty and drop her towel, it was then that he slipped quietly out of her closet and wrapped a hand over her mouth. She screamed against his hand, he kissed the side of her neck and said, "take it easy beautiful, give me what I want and I will be out of here, no harm no foul", she tried to elbow him in the stomach to which he whirled her around and slapped her face hard.

She flinched and said, "p p please don't hurt me", he said, "give me what I want", she shook her head and said, "n n no", he had quite a fight on his hands for the next few minutes as he fought to get her onto the bed, She fought him every step of the way until he managed to get hold of her hair, he pulled it back and hit her hard on the stomach which took the air out of her, he then slapped her hard across the face causing her to fall back against the wall, thus hitting her head and knocking herself out.

He pulled the tape from the top drawer and taped her mouth and grinned as he picked her up and laid her down on the bed and then spent the next several hours assaulting the latest victim. He left cuts and bruises all over her body, he wanted everybody to know especially the victim that he owned her now that he would always be a part of her life especially her memories.

At the hospital Penelope sighed happily as she laid back on her bed, she glanced over at a tired Derek Morgan and said, "would you do something for me handsome"? he said, "anything". She smiled and scooted over and said, "will you lay with me"? he said, "are you sure that's what you want"? she nodded her head and said, "yes, please, please lay with me", he stood up, toed off his shoes, and climbed into bed with her.

After getting in beside her he gently wrapped his arm around her and she cuddled closer and laid her head on his chest and sighed happily, he kissed the top of her head and said, "Is this okay"? she said, "it's more than okay, thank you handsome". He said, "I'll do anything I can to make you happy baby girl, I love you", she sighed happily and said, "and I love you Derek and I love you", she closed her eyes and a few minutes later Derek couldn't help but smile as he heard a soft snore coming from the beautiful blonde in his arms.

He laid there holding her for a few minutes before he closed his eyes and soon joined her in sleep as he drifted off after a long and exhausting day.
