Here is chapter 2, I hope everyone is enjoying the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds! :(

The whole team arrived at Derek's place within 20 minutes of Hotch hanging up with Derek. He was so angry; he didn't know why things were always happening to his team and family. He never liked Lynch, but he never expected this from him, to actually hurt Penelope. He would make sure he paid for what he had done, even if he didn't come off as the most emotional person, he was. Aaron Hotchner's passion ran deep and usually hidden behind a mask but he cared deeply for each team member. Penelope was a ray of sunshine for the entire team, her laugh and smile were infectious, and she was the remedy for a bad case. Who could ever hurt someone as selfless as Penelope honestly didn't deserve to have ever met her in the first place.

As they pulled into the driveway the sight that welcomed them could pull even the most jaded man's heartstrings. Derek sat on the ground leaving against the vintage car that was Penelope's, holding her to his chest while she sat perpendicular to him in his lap tightly, shielding her from the outside world. Penelope's face was facing away but her posture suggested she was sleeping, while Derek's was towards the night sky, you could see the tears glistening off his checks from the dim light of the porch lamp. The team stood outside the SUV not sure if to break up the moment because they knew everything was going to change once waking her up. They didn't have to make the decision because Derek looked over at them, he obviously saw them drive in, and he had the saddest look in eyes that it actually caused Hotch to stutter while trying to speak.

"D...Derek, we need to wake her up and bring her inside."

Derek just sighed and looked at her, "I know Hotch, but I don't have the heart to bring her back to this nightmare. I mean, she just collapsed in tears right here, she didn't even move. She.."

He choked on his words and just gave up on trying to finish what he wanted to say. Hotch motioned for Emily and JJ to wake her up, they had spoken on the way here and they agreed she'd more comfortable with a female touch. He was wondering he was wrong because when JJ tried to get her out of Morgan's lap, Garcia called out and grabbed his shirt with both hands

"No, Derek, don't leave me."

"Shhhh baby girl, I'm right here, I'm not going to leave you. JJ and Emily want to talk to you; they are your best friends."

"No, you're my best friend Derek, always."

"I know baby girl, I know….please for me, talk to them." He kissed her temple and moved underneath her as she stood up.

"Anything for you, Derek." She said while taking his hand and helped him off the ground.

Everyone stood in silence before JJ put her arm on Penelope's shoulder and guided her into the house with Emily. The four men stayed outside in his driveway, Derek didn't take his eyes of her until she was behind the closed door. The other three men didn't know what to say, they all knew how Derek felt about Penelope even before he did. What do you say to someone in this situation, especially when they are your friends? Rossi just walked over to Derek and put his hand on the young man's shoulder,

"Son, this is going to be one bumpy ride but we'll catch this son of a bitch and make him pay."

"That great Rossi but she'll never be the same person again. He took a piece of her earlier that she'll never get back. No matter if he's dead or alive, he'll always hold that piece from her and she'll try her hardest to get it back and it won't work. "

They all knew he was speaking from experience, Buford was a subject they never talked about, Rossi knew bits about it, only as much as he needed to, still, they knew he was torn in a few ways. Rossi sighed before saying

"That maybe so but she has a secret weapon"

"What is that Rossi?"

"She has you, and you'll be there the whole process, to hold her when the nightmares get to be too much, when she is scared or just needs to be loved. She has you and Derek you have her. You need to let those other pieces go and fit each other in the spaces."

The men looked strangely at Rossi, not because of the advice but because he of all men gave the advice.

"Contrary to everyone's belief, I don't have 3 failed marriages because I'm an ass but because I enjoy sex way too much and sometimes couldn't keep my weapon holstered, if you catch me."

Reid looked at him and said "No, I don't catch you"

The three men around him laughed for the first time since the call had been made.

"Kid that doesn't surprise me, not at all" Derek patted Reid on the shoulder as the men walked towards the house.

While inside Derek's house

The three girls sat on Derek's bed, not a word had been spoken since entering the house. Emily and JJ just kept looking at each other, trying to prod the other one to say something. JJ finally gave in and said

"Honey, do you want to talk about it?"

"I'm sorry about saying you weren't my best friends, you are my best girl friends"

That was Penelope Garcia, caring about if their feelings had been hurt even if she had just been attacked by her "boyfriend"; JJ took her friends hand and said

"Garcie, we love you, and we knew what you meant, you and Derek share a special bond. We just want to know what happened so we can get Kevin for what he did to you. We just need to know what happened."

"I just came home and he was drinking his beer like he has been lately. I made a few jokes about how he was giving up nonalcoholic drinks and that set him off, he said I worked too much and that he knew about Derek. I tried to get him to go sleep it off and we'd talk about it in the morning but when I touched him he threw me into the wall. He searched a door for a few minutes until he came out with my hair brush, he threw me on the table and proceeded to spank me like I was a disobedient child. I begged him to stop and he just laughed. The whacks finally stopped and I thought I was safe but he tore my dress and that's when he…." She started to cry

Emily put one hand over JJ's and Pen's while the other was rubbing her back.

"Go on PG, it's over, he can't hurt you. Tell us everything"

"He raped me, I don't know how long it actually was but it felt like forever. I could feel each tear and I knew I was bleeding, I cried so hard, begging for it to end but he didn't. When he finished he passed out on the floor and I ran for the door but it wasn't fast enough. We wrestled on the floor until I put his head through a coffee table and knocked him out, I just ran to the car and drove to the first place I thought of as safe."

Emily didn't want to ask what she had to next but she knew that she had to.

"PG, we brought a rape kit with us. Do you mind it we… proceed with its instructions"

"Emily, why are you doing it, you're my friend you don't need to see this"

There was the selflessness of Penelope Garcia again.

"PG, I'm not going to let some random tech do this. I will how ever have a random tech watch to make sure we aren't "falsifying" the evidence. I want to be a nurse before I did this while FBI thing." She said trying to make a joke. Penelope just smiled.

JJ walked out to the living room where the men were sitting with the technician and police officer that had just arrived.

"She's all set for you, Marsha"

Now all they could do was wait for the evaluation to be done before proceeding with it. The cops were arresting Lynch at this moment. The fact they were going to have to wait to get at Lynch was torture but their girl needed them and the men would gladly sacrifice.
