Chap.3 Clue

Thanks for all the reviews! It means a lot.

"Who would want todoher some harm?" Emily asked frustated.

It had been hours since they had been informed about Penelope abduction and they were no near from knowing where she could be.

"I don't know... it could be anyone. Did anyone check on Lynch?"

"I'm on it." Reid said getting up.

"Maybe we should check if she was working on something.... you know after what happened with Battle..."Rossi suggested.

"Penelope wouldn't do such a thing again. She's learned from the past believe me." Derek said bitterly.

"Rossi's right, we better ask a tech to check on her computers." Hotch said looking at Derek pointedly. The man was losing his mind and so does he. He wondered what could have happened there. The blood they found was all Penelope. It was not much but still it meant that she had been hurt.

"Lynch didn't show up at work today. He called in sick." Reid said entering the conference room.

"Prentiss, Reid...Go check on him at home. "

Emily and Reid quickly left.

"JJ we need to set up a press conference."

"Sure. But isn't it dangerous... I mean, the unsub could hurt her... further."

"We have to let whoever did this that we're on his tracks maybe he'll send us something."

"Ok." JJ left looking worriedly at Morgan.

"Morgan, you'll go to Penelope's with Rossi. You may find some clue... if she has reveived threaning letters...."

"She would have told me."

"Maybe... just do it... for her. Gather yourself Morgan, it's hard for all of us, but i need you 100% on it."

"Yeah for her." Derek got up and followed Rossi outside the room.

Hotch tiredly put a hand across his face. He had grown quite attached to their technical analyst...more after the way he had trated her just before Hayley's death. They had to find her for everybody's sake... plus Jack didn't need somebody's he loves to die again...so quickly after...

He got up suddenly and went towards Strauss office.

Penelope woke up with a pounding headache. She was tied to a bed now. She looked at her surroundings wondering where he could have brought her. She vaguely remembered the place... the house his mother had bought him. He neeeded to renovate it and was even suggested that they moved in it together.

She felt the blood in her mouth and fought the wave of nausea that came.

She thought about a way to escape but he had tied her very well. She stared in awe at her outfit.

"How dare he?" she thought as he entered the basement.
