I don't own CM :(

Penelope was tired; she slept for that short 20 minutes against Derek's chest before the team had arrived and not much the previous week. She was amazed that after being raped and beaten by the only other man she trusted other than her team and especially Morgan that she needed his touch to feel safe. She wanted to wash Kevin away, she didn't want the memory of him. The feel of his hands on her body but she could still feel them as if they were right on her. Once Emily and the technician were finished she went into Derek's bathroom. She stood there looking into the mirror and started to cry again. She worked the fucking FBI and she couldn't protect herself from any attacker, no wonder she lives in the cave which any other day she loved. She turned on the shower and got in fully clothed in a pair of PJs she had left there a year again in case she needed them on movie night. She stood there under the water and tried to scrub the pain away. The harder she scrubbed the more she could feel him, touching her. Pen slid down the wall of the shower and just cried as the water fell like rain drops. In the process she knocked down some of Derek's hygiene products from the shelf in the shower, they made loud noises as they hit the shower floor but she didn't care. She just wanted this pain to go away.

Downstairs the sounds of something falling could be heard like a bomb in a neighboring city. Derek just turned around and ran up the stairs

"Baby girl, baby, are you there?"

He heard some crying and a few mumbles from his master bathroom. He walked in to see Penelope in a ball in the corner of the shower, the water coming from the shower head was cold water, almost frigid, but it seemed she faze her. He turned the water off, picked her up from the shower floor and carried her to his bed. He pulled a pair of sweatpants and t-shirt from his dresser and handed them to her.

"Here baby girl, just put these on, I'll go in the bathroom, just holler when you are all set."

"No, Derek, don't leave. I don't care if you are here. Any other man but you I wouldn't want near me at all but you... I need you here."

The words made him want to pull her into an intense kiss but he knew she was too raw for that. He would have to wait to let her know he needed her just as much, if not more than she needed him. She had become the sunshine in this stormy life of bloody victims and crazy unsubs. He couldn't imagine someone actually able to hurt this beautiful woman. He watched her undress and that's when he saw the bruises, the ones on her side, on her stomach, on her legs, inner thigh, and that's when he saw the welts on her backside and cuts were blood used to be dried.

"Oh baby, what did he do to you?" he asked hesitantly.

The look on her face said it all, he had indeed raped her, she inhaled and exhaled slowly while looking at the floor before saying.

"The short story, he raped me, but not before punishing me like a disobedient child with a wooden hair brush my mother gave me. I fought him off after he finished his act and when I finally threw his head into the coffee table he passed out. I ran out the door to the safest place I knew."

While she explained what happened she had dressed herself in the clothes he had given her. He was so angry, when he saw Kevin, he would personally shred him. He was in his own world when he felt hands on his chest and arms wrap around him, he looked down and Pen just whispered,

"For now, can you just hold me?"

"Are you sure…?"

"Don't you dare start treating me like I'm different"

He just wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the forehead before saying,

"Baby girl, we are going to catch him and make him pay. Those bruises and cuts will eventually fade to nothing and things will get easier. The nightmares may get too much and sometimes you might just want to give up, but just remember, I love you silly girl, and I am always here for you. I can do more than empathize with you; I know exactly what it feels like. Just promise me, not to shut me out when things get to be too much for you to handle on your own."

He looked down to see her fast asleep in his arms. While he was talking to her, they had gotten into his bed and she rested her head on his chest. The faint snores coming from her were a good sound for now, maybe some sleep will help her cope a little better. Once again with her in his arms his cell rang from his pocket.

"Morgan"

" Derek, this is Hotch, the lab confirmed the seamen collected during the procedure was indeed Kevin Lynch, not that I doubted Pen but we are right outside his house about to arrest him. Just thought you'd want to know"

"Thanks Hotch, throw the bastard around a bit if you can." He said half jokingly.

"I'll leave that to Prentiss and maybe Reid, he doesn't like people messing with his family."

"Bye Hotch"

Across town, Aaron Hotchner put his phone back in his pocket; he corralled his troops and knocked on Kevin's door. They heard scuffling inside but no one answered, he signaled to Prentiss to kick down the door. Inside the house was dark and no immediate sign of Kevin. Rossi and Reid went downstairs while Hotch and Prentiss went upstairs. Upstairs there was a bedroom with a picture of Penelope on the nightstand, a master bathroom and the only other room was a computer room. Prentiss looked at Hotch before saying

"There isn't any sign up here. Lets go check the ground floor with Rossi and Reid."

They had reached the bottom step when Kevin appeared out of nowhere with a gun pointed at Prentiss.

"Put your guns away and I won't shoot."

"You have a better chance of us killing you, we have better aim." Prentiss antagonized him.

"I SAID PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN."

The expression on his face was nothing like they had ever seen on this man. What the hell happened to him to make this happen? There was a creeking sound that came behind Kevin and Hotch was hoping he didn't hear it because Reid was behind him, trying to get him to the ground. Too much dismay, Kevin heard, two shots were fired and Hotch saw Kevin fall to the ground. He looked at Prentiss and asked

"Why did you fire two shots?"

A puzzled look came across her face,

"I only fired once"

They looked over and saw Reid on the floor clutching his stomach. They ran over to his side.

"Reid, talk to me."
"Oh calm down Hotch, I'll be fine,

Reid was fighting a losing battle to stay conscious, when the paramedics came in they pronounced Kevin Lynch dead and took Reid to the hospital. He pulled out his phone to call Morgan.

"Morgan, I have some good news and bad news, Good news is Lynch is dead but bad news, he shot Reid before Prentiss shot him down. We are one our way to the hospital. I'll call with updates."

He put his phone in his pocket and sighed, 'how could this day get any worse'
