Disclaimer: As always, I will announce that I have NEVER claimed, nor will I EVER claim, to have owned Criminal Minds or the lovely characters that are in it. That is the work of the writers (please come off of strike) and the brillaint actors and actresses.

I HAD to write another chapter! I had a brillaint idea. Hope you enjoy this chapter as much as my mind is. -


As the front door opened, Derek pointed his gun toward the door. Kenneth walked in, his hand on his gun.

"Drop the gun, Kenneth Lake." said Hotch, as he took a pair of handcuffs out of his suit pocket. "You are under arrest for the abduction of Penelope Garcia."

"I...I don't know what your talking about," said Kenneth as he moved behind his wife.

Of course, the agents were standing across from the Senator. This couldn't end well.

"Drop the gun now, Kenneth," commanded Hotch, as he watched Kenneth grab his wife from behind, wrapping one hand around her waist and the other holding his gun to his wife's temple.

"What're you doing?!" asked the Senator in a loud, frightened tone.

"If you would be so kind, you would let us go and NOT follow us," said Kenneth.

"I'm not going anywhere with you!" shouted the Senator. "Your going to cooperate with the police, Kenneth."

"No, I'm not," he said, "Unless my five million is given to me."

"You've been gambling again?" she asked in a whisper, moving her eyes to look up at her husband angrilly.

Derek, JJ, Emily, and Hotch's guns were pointed at the man.

"Shoot." said the Senator, calmly. "Please."

"No. We can't risk you," said Derek. "Anyways, your husband is going to cooperate with us."

"What makes you think that?" asked Kenneth, moving toward the front door with his wife in his grasp.

"Because if you don't you'll just get shot," he said.

Kenneth stood there for a moment and then pushed his wife toward Hotch. "I am not going to get shot."

Kenneth's mind went somewhere else for a moment. To the time when he had gotten shot and nearly died.

Hotch steadied the Senator and walked to Kenneth, motioning for Derek to take the gun. After Derek did so, Hotch put the cuffs on Kenneth.

Once they arrived at the station, Hotch handcuffed Kenneth to the table in Interrogation 3. Talking to him would be Derek's job...

Derek stalked into Interrogation 3 and sat across the table from Kenneth. "Did you really think you'd get away with this?" he asked, trying to keep himself under control.

The man just sat there, grinning at Derek. "Your poor baby girl."

"Don't you dare call her that!" growled Derek, his fist wanting to meet his jaw so badly. But he stopped himself. "Where is Penelope?"

Hotch watched the two converse, JJ and Emily by his side. Maybe Derek wasn't the best person to talk to him.

"She thinks your dead. She saw the bomb blow up on the TV. Your beautiful, sexy baby girl is giving up on life as we speak."

"Don't you dare speak of her that way, you worthless piece of..." Derek was cut off as Emily walked into the room.

"Don't waste your energy on him, please, Derek," she said and grabbed his arm, pulling him out of the room. "Could you try to be a bit calmer next time?" she asked.

"You aren't the one whose fiancee was abducted." shouted Derek. "Let me find out where she is, please, Emily."
