I wanted to do this chapter to show how naive Pen was to Kevin while he was "helping her" get over Derek's "death"

It felt as if the world was collapsing, the walls caving in to all she ever knew and loved. She was struggling to wrap her mind around Derek's sudden death and make sense about it all to herself. But she couldn't. It just didn't seem like everything was right.

Dismissing it as grief and shock Pen walked back into the kitchen where her ex-boyfriend, Kevin Lynch sat at the table. He had offered to stay with her a couple of weeks proceeding Derek's death, to make sure Pen was really going to be okay.

Everyone-even the BAU- was worried about her. She no longer bothered to live in the positive cloud she had always carried with her. Without Derek it felt as if the world had gone from all the colors of the rainbow, to black and white. She was heartbroken over the situation and she knew it. She hated for Kevin to be here with her. To be going through all this just to make sure she was going to be okay.

"Kev, you should go." Pen said. "I'll be fine. Really."

"Penny I can't do that. I can't leave you like this."

Pen just looked at him, sympathy written all over her face. She knew how hard Kevin had taken their breakup. She had told him one day she was just too in love with Derek to be with anyone else. Kevin had said he understood and that it was probably for the best anyway. She didn't how he stood it. Standing there knowing that she was grieving over the man that had cost them their relationship.

"You know how much I appreciate you staying with me Kevin." Pen said.

"I wouldn't be anywhere else Penny." Kevin said.

"Thank you for that. I don't deserve your kindness, but thanks."

"How ya' doin?"

"A lot better than yesterday. I actually wanted to get out of bed today."

"I'm here for you Penny." Kevin said.

"I know you are Kev. I'll owe you a lifetime for this."

Kevin got up and crossed the room and hugged her. He looked out the kitchen window while she silently cried against his shoulder. The stable where Derek was alive and hidden, was in full view from the house.

Oh Penny if you only knew how close he actually was. Kevin thought to himself and he evilly grinned towards the stable, knowing the horrible pain Derek had to be in from the drugs that was in his food.

He was still lying on the floor of the stable. He was in the worst pain he had ever been in, and was just nearing consciousness. The sun was shining on his face under the door, and as his eyes adjusted to the light and his surroundings as he began to see more clearly through the cracks of the door. He could see Pen in his house, and her still crying over his 'death' onto the shoulder of another man.

A man who had the nerve to upset Pen in ways she had never been before and stage Derek's death. It was killing him, to know how close they were to one another and how much pain she was in. The drugs had to be strong, because he could no longer move.

Pen had been sitting in the living room curled up on the couch while Kevin went to check on his car parked beside the stable in the backyard. She thought he had parked in the driveway, but not feeling like questioning anybody or anyone she just stayed where she was.

Her cell phone rang then, and Pen reached over to the nightstand to answer it.

"Hello?." she mumbled into the phone.

"Hi I'm Vanessa Parley, we spoke on the phone a few days earlier about your fiancée's sudden death."

"Oh hi Vanessa." Pen said in the phone, wondering what in the world these people were calling her back about.

"I was going over your fiancée's autopsy report- and well let me cut to the chase. The dental records to him and the body found in his car doesn't match. That body wasn't him."

Please Review! : )
