Third chapter of the day. This stories moving along fast and I'm going to be sad when I end it. Will you?


"Just calm down, Derek," said Emily, squeezing his hand supportively. "We'll get Pen back. I promise."

Derek walked back into Interrogation 3, trying to stay calm as the creep grinned at him.

"Look, buster," said Derek, sitting back down, "you've already screwed up. You came home. You let us get you. You didn't wear GLOVES when you put that note on the desk in Penelope's dressing room. You are a complete imbacile and we're going to lock you in jail for the rest of your days, if you even make it that long." Derek didn't mean to be so cruel. But his baby girl was missing and he would do absolutely ANYTHING in the world to get her back. He wanted to marry her more than anything. He wanted her safe. He wanted his family to be complete. And unless this jerk told where he was keeping Derek's sweetness, none of this was going to happen. "Tell me where she is!"

"No."

"If you don't, I swear to god..."

"You'll what? Kill me?"

Derek didn't say anything, just glared at him.

"Your baby girl already told me that one. She said you would kill me. Make it slow and painful, Agent Morgan. Please. But first. Tell me something."

"What?"

"How could a man like you like somebody like her?"

Derek's face grew red. "You...you..."

"Don't say anything you'll regret, Agent Morgan."

Derek didn't say anything.

"A jock like you shouldn't be interested in a geek like her, should you?"

"Shut your mouth, Lake!"

"Ooh. I'm so afraid of you, Agent Morgan." The emphasis on Agent was meant to get into Derek's head. Mess with him a little. He was a FBI agent and he couldn't keep his dear baby girl safe. What kind of FBI agent was he?! How could he let something happen?! Didn't he love her?!

"Don't you dare play that game with me, Lake..." growled Derek.

&&&&&&

Hotch sighed, shaking his head, "Maybe one of us should go in?" he asked.

Emily shook her head. "I really think he's getting somewhere. Just let him talk for a while longer."

Hotch nodded, "Just a while longer..."

&&&&&&

Derek growled, "Where is she!?"

Kenneth just grinned, looking up at Derek, the smirk burning into his eyes.

Derek wanted to strangle him. "Tell me where she is!" Derek balled his fist, holding them by his side.

&&&&&&

"Get him out." commanded Hotch, as he watched Emily drag him out of the room.

Hotch and JJ walked with Emily and Derek to the office, where Reid already was.

"Derek, get a hold of yourself," said Hotch. "You need to stay calm."

"How can I stay calm?!" he asked, looking at Hotch angrilly.

"We're going to find her, okay?" he asked.

"I'm no confident about that anymore!"

"Why?"

"Because he said..."

"He said that she saw us 'die'. She has no reason to live," said Hotch, "And give me a good reason why we should believe a word that man says."

Derek shook his head, "I don't know."

Hotch shook his head, "JJ, you go in," he said. "He has no connection with you."

JJ nodded and walked to Interrogation 3, the others following and watching behind the glass.

"Your prettier than your friend," said Kenneth, as he watched JJ walk in.

"Why don't you just tell me where Penelope is?" she asked and crossed her arms, calmly.

"Because where would the fun be in there?" he asked.

"The fun is over, Kenneth," said JJ.

"You want me to tell you where she is?" he asked.

"Why do you think we arrested you?" she asked. "Just tell me where Penelope is."

"In a prison cell in the middle of no where."

JJ looked back at the mirror.

Hotch smirked, "Does he think we're stupid?" he asked, and walked out.

"Come on Derek." said Emily, following Hotch.
