Things had pretty much settled down for Penelope. She had returned to her normal self, well at least in the office. She worked and she went out with her team for drinks when asked, she really was getting better at faking it, and with the people that she worked with she had to be on her guard all the time, they were just too good. The Theater and the counciling for the families took up some of her time as well. Some things didn't change while others things did. Life went on, her friends and espically Tony kept her sane.

For one hour she had been listening to the sound tracks from videos, she was tired and she was getting a headache. Not from the listening, but from the constant interruptions from Reid and Emily.

Standing she points to the door. "Get out! Now, get out of my office." She waits until they are gone before she closes the door. Sitting back down she adjusts the volume, one by one she blocks out the sounds that she is hearing. With three computers going she is rolling from one screen to another trying to pin point where the videos were made and coming from. Time is running against them, she just has to find the right place.

"Is she getting anywhere?" Rossi asks when he sees Emily and Reid walk back into the bullpen.

"She yelled at us, and threw us out." Reid answer him with a shrug.

"Well we were talking a lot." Emily admits.

"We were making suggestions and trying to help. I don't see why she told us to leave."

Dave can't help but smile, his Kitten doesn't always get in a bad mood but when she does it's best to stay away. "I'll go."

He opens the door as carefully as he can without making a lot of noise. He doesn't even flinch when he feels Hotch come and stand beside him.

"Got you, you sick puppy. One more, please one more." The profilers watch as she adjusts the sound and holds the earphones closer to her head, with her eyes closed she fine tunes even more. When a bright smile comes on her face they know she has pinpointed the needed address.

She sends the address to the agents waiting for the information in a text. "Take care of them and keep them safe please. Oh and if they have to shoot, make the baddie hurt like he hurt those children." They hear her whisper to the ceiling.

They close the door before she can turn around, smiling as they go down the hall. "She is the best, isn't she Aaron?"

"She is, even if she is inappropriate at times."

"But that's what makes her so special, and I for one love her for it, and for the prayers she offers up for us."

"I didn't know about that part."

"I'm surprised, I thought you knew everything that happens around here." Rossi says just before he disappears into his office.


It was a conspiracy between Tony , Savannah and Morgan, it was time she got back in the dating game. Savannah invited her over for brunch without telling her that it was a set up. With Tony and his date Karen there to help ease the transition into dating again, she hoped that Penelope wouldn't be too angry.

Penelope knocked on the door carrying a bottle of wine in one hand and a knitted caboose for Hank under her arm, to go along with the engine and the rail car with animals on the sides. She just couldn't help it, the little boy had stolen her heart; all he had to do was point and ask.

"Come on in Baby-girl" Morgan says after he answers the door. Engulfing her into a big hug he brings her out to the patio where everyone else.

"Penelope I'd like you to meet my friend Marco, Marco this is Penelope, a very good friend of ours."

She smiles as she shakes the man's hand, five foot ten inches or there abouts, one hundred and seventy pounds lots of muscle, hazel eyes and a very nice smile. He has a firm handshake and a polite smile. It is his eyes that are telling. She wasn't what he was expecting, a let down. She has gotten very good over the years telling how men feel just from the way they react from their first meeting. It's was going to be along afternoon she thinks as she sips her juice.

Three days later a lovely bouquet of flowers arrived at the Morgan home. The note is simple enough. Thank you for the brunch. Do it again and I'll buy Hank a set of drums, a concert set. Love Penelope.

Derek walks into the kitchen in time to hear Savannah laugh. "What's so funny?"

"Penelope sent us flowers, here read the card. You don't think she'll carry out that threat do you?"

"You should know by now my love, Penelope Garcia never makes a threat she can't carry out. No more blind dates."

"But she seems so lonely and unhappy. I would love to give Sam's mother a colonoscopy with a large camera hose."

"See, you're perfect. Remind me never to get on your bad side. She'll be fine, I have faith in her."


She was sent for, they found a massive computer system that needed to be tackled and "profiled" for lack of a better word. She came with all of the equipment packed into two suitcases she pulled on wheels behind her. Stepping into the police station in a town not far from Harrisburg Pennsylvania. They just had to check in, and then they could head over to where she had her fun.

Hotch let out a soft laugh at seeing the expression on her face when she sees the computer. She looks like a child about to be given a free hand in a candy store. She pats his shoulder smiling at him telling him that she would call just as soon as she found anything important.

"Garcia . ."

"Go on, I'll be careful, you're leaving me a very nice policeman just in case. Right? We'll be fine, go do your thing while I do mine."

He can't help but to softly laugh as she takes her sweater off then rubs her hands together as a crazy, but happy look appears in her eyes.

No one had heard from Penelope for over two hours, she was usually a whole lot faster at getting results. While they waited for her they continue working on their end. It was Reid that discovered the clue, it wasn't part of the profile, but then again they didn't know there was a partner at the time. A male/female team both alphas.

"You'll never find him." the female said as she struggled to get free from the hold Emily had on her. "I made sure of that, oh and that strange woman that you left at the house. If you call now you just might have enough time to say good-bye before the bomb explodes."

Emily slammed the woman a little harder than necessary in the car as she handcuffed her, yelling over her shoulder "GO! Go get them out!"

Aaron, Tara and Rossi jumped in the car and sped the whole ten miles to the location they had left Penelope, they screeched to a stop in front of the building to see the officer running out of the buildings. He spun around and started talking as fast as possible. "She told me to get out, she said that the computers didn't sound right, a hum that shouldn't be there, that she would be right behind me, something about a USB…" Aaron turned to the house to see Penelope start to come quickly down the stairs when the bomb went off.

She was thrown, hard, and landed in the grass even harder on her side. When the debris stopped falling, and it was safe for the team to move about Aaron raced to her side. Knowing better than to move her he knelt next to her. He gently brushed her hair from her face when her eyes fluttered, trying to focus on him without her glasses. She was trying to say something to him so he leaned a little closer, and heard a very gentle "Aaron.' before she lost consciousness her cheek against his knee.
