Lynch went to work and acted as normally as possible. He sensed someone staring at him from the tech pool doorway and raised his eyes .
« Agent Hotchner. »
« Good morning Lynch. How are you ? »
« Perfectly well thank you. »
« Weren't you sick ? »
« Hem yes yesterday… just a bug though. »
« OK…Did you see Penelope lately ? »
« Here at work. You know that we broke up right ? »
« No… »
« Well, we broke up so I don't have anything to do with her now. And why all these questions ? »
« Penelope disappeared, she's been kidnapped at her place yesterday. »
« Oh. I hope you'll find her soon. If I can help you just ask me. »
« Sure. »
Hotch joined his team in the conference room.
« Lynch's here. He told me that he didn't see Penelope, that they broke up. He didn't seem a bit affected by her disappearance. »
« We should keep an eye on him. » Rossi stated frowning.
« Reid and Prentiss will take care of that Ok ? »
« Ok. »
« Morgan see with the tech who is digging into Mrs Lynch life what's new . »
Derek immediately left.
Penelope looked tentatively at the fruits. She was starving but she didn't trust Kevin. Who knew what he had put in it. Against her better judgment she reached for the bottle of water and took a long gulp.
« God helps me. » she whispered .
« We got something. » Derek said running through the bulpen to the conference room.
« Morgan ? »
« Mrs Lynch donated a house to her son. Its in the surburbs of DC. If he kidnapped her, it's the best place to hide her. » Morgan said in one breath.
« Ok. We just have to wait the end of the day and we'll follow him. »
« Why not going there immediately ? » Morgan asked.
« It's best if we catch him in side the house. »
« Ok. I just hope he didn't harm her. »
« We're not usure yet if he really took her …We must explore other paths too. »
Some hours later Penelope had eaten all the fruits that were harmless. She hoped the team would find her soon. She wondered how to behave towards Derek now. She knew that things would never been the same anymore. She just hope it wouldn't be for worse. A part of her heart was aching because of him leaving after their night together and another part wouldn't believe he could hurt was so confused…
She was falling asleep when she heard the door opening slowly.
Kevin sighed from relief when he finally finished his job. It was late and he wondered if Penelope was ok. He was angry at her for sleeping with that womanizer… anyway she seemed sincere enough to begin their relationship again. Theuy would see when he reache dthe house.
He hoped she would like the house because he had every intention to bring up their children there.
« Hotchner. » hotch answered curtly.
« Ok we're on our way. » he added before leaving the office.
« Morgan, JJ , Rossi, let's go. Prentiss and Reid are following Lynch. He's not coming back home. »
They quickly followed their leader towards the elevators .
« Penelope sweetheart, I'm home . » Kevin said entering the basement.
« Hey. »
« You ok ? »
« I'm not feeling well. »
« You've eaten ? »
« Yes… the fruits were good but not enough. » She said smiling feebly.
« I'm sorry. Here I bought you some chinese takeaway. See. »
« thanks but i rather eat myself. »
He looked at her suspiciously then he smiled.
« Ok… just don't do anything ok ? »
« sure. »
He untied the ropes and put the food in front of her.
« thanks. » she said eating while looking at him sideways.
She was considering the ways to escape when she heard a loud bang.
« What the hell ? » kevin shouted leaving the bed. He left the room suddenly.
Reid and Prentiss waited for the rest of the team not far from the house. The House was quite big and there was a big garden surrounding it. Surely nobody could have heard Penelope if she was there.
« Finally. » Reid muttered when he saw the 2 SUV.
They didn't wait more time and they positioned themselves around the house. Rossi banged loudly at the door and waited for an answer.
