One Week Later
'You promise to call us when you get there?'
'I promise.' Penelope said from the hug Derek had on her. In the past week Kevin was convicted with stalking but yet could not be found. Penelope had hacked into his system and Hotch allowed her to delete the video of her and Derek as long as she kept the rest for evidence, luckily there was nothing that would embarrass her, he only kept the ones of her sleeping and most she was midst nightmare, always alone.
'Hotch is still looking for him you know.'
'I know.'
'So you go and get those nails done and have those massages and relax, it's been full on.'
'What about Strauss?'
'Rossi.' Was all he said with a smile and she nodded and laughed, knowing that that one man promised to sort it out and obviously had. 'But you get that sweet arse sugar in that car and have fun with JJ and Sophie.'
'Okay, as long as you get Emily to ring me.'
'You know she'll ring you first anyway so you don't have to worry.' He let her go but pulled her back and kissed her full throttle on the lips, they continued until being interrupted by a cough, Penelope blushed. 'That's because I won't see you for 4 days.'
'Hmm can you behave?'
'I can try.'
'Good luck.' She mocked. 'Love you.'
'Love you too.' He said and kissed her forehead, inhaling her smell before letting her go. They watched the car pull away and disappear before heading back to work, all pretty content with everything, although the men wanted to literally lynch Kevin Lynch for his actions. They knew this weekend would do Penelope good.
As promised the caller ID of JJ appeared across Reid's phone, the caller ID of Penelope on Derek's and not long after the ID of Emily on Hotch's, the men smiled and answered, after a little chat they all got on with the mountain of paperwork awaiting them. Derek's phone went off in his pocket that night as he headed for his SUV and he smiled.
Cupboard, small red bottle, you're favourite. x B.G x
He waited until he got home but had a sneaky suspicion what it could be and he was right, Penelope had left a small bottle of her perfume knowing how much he loved it and him smelling her hair was a dead set give away and she loved it when he did it.

'Erm Derek, Hotch, Rossi, you may want to see this!' Emily said as her and Reid sat watching the news during their break.
'What's up?' Reid pointed with his head silenced by what appeared to be fear, while Emily who had only just arrived back pointed with the remote before crossing her arms. The other 3 men left the stairs from Hotch's office and watched the news coverage.
A luxury hotel spa has been held up by an assailant with a gun for the past 6 hours after the man, known as Kevin Lynch, entered and shot 4 rounds into the ceiling.
'Hotch we got to get there.' Derek said frantically as soon as Kevin's name was mentioned.
Footage gathered from outside shows the crazed man on a rampage throughout the hotel, most clients and staff have successfully fled but now the gunman is holding a group of women hostage in the spa area of the hotel's ground floor.
We now go into reporter Gail Smiths for an update from the hotel.
'Come one. Let's get them out.' Hotch said knowing full well that Penelope, JJ and their friend Sophie were in the spa at 11 that morning, only for an hour later them to be taken hostage. They got into two SUV's Reid and Derek separated, worry from them two combined in one car would not be good.
'I'm not letting her out of my sights.' Derek said assertive and determined, his face looking ready to hit someone. They clicked through the radio stations.
The day luxury became hell.
CLICK
3 more shots have just been fired.
CLICK
A total of 9 hostages, all women, a combination of staff and clients.
'This is pointless.... we know it's them.' Just as Derek spoke, his phone rang off in a familiar tune.
'Baby girl?'
'Derek... help.' Came Penelope's muffled whisper. 'Kevin's gone crazy.'
'We know, we're on our own.'
'How did he know?'
'I don't know but promise me you'll stay calm.'
'I promise.'
'PENELOPE!' Came Kevin's voice.
'Derek...' Was all Derek and Hotch heard before Penelope screamed and dropped the phone.
'Keep it on Derek, we need to listen.' Hotch said as he drove faster.
They heard JJ plead with Kevin to let Penelope go, they heard Penelope plead with Kevin to let the others go, that it was between them not the other people, Kevin ranted about Derek and all the time Hotch could tell that Derek's anger was bubbling inside.
Over an hour later they made it and the chaos was mind spinning, police were trying to get as many unauthorized persons off the site without much prevail.
'Right we are going to sneak in, we are going to get him from behind and get them out... Derek, we don't know if it's safe for you to be in there.'
'You are not keeping me out of there!'
'We knew you wouldn't back down but you need to realise you are personally involved here.'
'I know Hotch.' They looked shocked as more gun fire was heard and they headed towards the chief of police.
'I ordered no FBI here.'
'2 of our agents are in there.'
'Well you might want to see the visual of what we are up against.' When they looked they saw Kevin clinging onto Penelope tightly, a gun against her head, yelling at JJ. When he shifted slightly they saw something under his coat.
'Is that...'
'A bomb... afraid so, he is really well wired under that, if that goes off with her that close to him she won't make it out alive.'
