Chapter 9
"Derek," Penelope spoke softly as she was still curled up on the bed in her drugged state.
"What, Baby girl?" Mark snarled looking back at the heap of a woman on the bed.
She tried to sit up but the pain form her sides caused her to fall back. After attempting again she managed to push her was up enough to see him, "Did you really mean it? I'm noth- nothing to you?"
Mark smiled at the broken woman. His plan was coming together perfectly, even if they were to save her, she would never go back to Morgan. "What do you think? Don't you think if I really loved you I would have asked you to marry me by now?"
He heard her whimper, "Honestly, all you are good for is a fucking good lay. I mean look at you. You're disgusting, overweight and eccentric. No one and I mean NO ONE will ever want to be with you for real. I'm just with you because you will do anything I ask, without even questioning it."
"You said you loved me. You took me to meet your family." She spoke quietly.
"And do you want to know what my mom said about you behind your back?"
"No- No, Fran loves me."
"She can't stand you. Her words and I quote, that women you brought with you is nowhere near good enough for you."
Mark got up with his drug cocktail in the syringe ready to dose her again. When he made it to the bed she tried to push him away as her heart broke even more. "Don't fight me!" he snapped.
"No!"
He slapped her across the face causing her to fall backwards onto the bed. He then straddled her injecting her once again. Once she was on the bed not moving her moved over to the web camera.
"I know you all are still watching." He snarled into the camera, "Even if you do get her back Morgan. She'll never believe you again." With that he moved out of the shot to walk back over to Penelope on the bed.
Morgan House
"Morgan, I know it's bad, but try and calm down. Lynch is getting the location now after Mark's mother Mara helped us." Hotch said as Morgan started to pace the kitchen after watching the newest video feed.
Morgan turned towards his boss, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
"Morgan," Hotch started again.
"No Hotch, Listen Mark is right. Even if we get her back she will never trust me again."
Hotch looked at the desperation on his agents face, "Derek, I know this is tough but Penelope is strong and if she is going to get through this she will need your help."
"I can't help her if Lynch doesn't get the location." He snapped.
"I'm going to call him for an update now. Go sit with Reid." Hotch walked out of the room to call Lynch.
Rossi was sitting in the living room trying to get more information from Mara. "So he snapped after you told him about his father?"
"Yes, see I had always kept that information from him." She said quietly. When she showed up at the door, Hotch had her confirm the man in the video was indeed her son and the son of Carl Buford. She had told them about places they would go when he was younger and that she thought he would go to the south side of town.
"I'm so sorry," she said again. " I had no idea my son would do this?"
"It's not your fault. You aren't to blame for someone else's actions," Rossi assured her.
"Mark has destroyed so many lives now. Not just his, but Penelope and Agent Morgan's as well. I heard what he said on the video."
"Penelope is strong and with someone like Morgan by her side she will get through this."
"I'm still s-"
Hotch ran into the room interrupting her. "Lynch has a solid location. Swat is on the way right now. Let's go we are moving out now."
The team moved into action. It didn't take long to be outside of the building Mark was holding Penelope at. Hotch and Rossi were trying to reason with Morgan and have him stay outside but he would have none of it.
"On my count," Hotch said into the earpiece. "One, two, now,"
They started searching each room with swat right behind them. Morgan was teamed with Reid as they started clearing rooms.
"Morgan look," Reid said, "There is a light on,"
Morgan nodded his head in agreement. He took a deep breath before ticking open the door, "FBI Freeze!"
He saw Mark straddling a naked crying Penelope on the bed. When Mark turned to see the intrusion he jumped off of Penelope grabbing his knife, and then quickly placed it at her throat, "Agent Morgan, so nice of you to join us."
"Get away from her," He snapped as he held his gun at Mark's head.
"Now why would I do that?" Mark swiped the knife against her skin.
"Derek?" Penelope's weak voice came out.
"I'm here baby girl. I'm here to save you." He tried to comfort her while still staring at Mark.
Penelope looked towards the voice then back at Mark confused at what was going on. Mark looked down at her, "Baby girl, these men here want to ruin our fun. We don't want that right?" He held the knife closer to her throat.
"N-No" she stammered.
"See, you are such a good girl. Do you want to give them a show?" He asked her. "Now stand up and show these men what I've done to your body."
She slowly stood up her naked body that was bruised and battered on display for everyone to see.
"Good Girl, sweetheart. You understand what needs to happen now right?"
"Derek, why are you hurting me?" she asked as he grabbed onto her waist pulling her right in front of him to shield his body.
"Didn't we discuss this already? Why the fuck don't you listen, you fat bitch?"
"Watch your fucking mouth," Morgan shouted.
"What are you going to do about it?"
Rossi walked up behind the men with his hands up in surrender, "Mark, your mom is outside. She wants to talk to you."
"My Mother is here? What the fuck would you bring her here?" He snapped at the man.
"She's the one who told us about this place." Rossi answered.
"She wouldn't. She would never do that to me." Mark stared at the man in disbelief.
Mark was so distraught he let the knife fall a little from Penelope's neck. Reid thinking fast moved past Morgan and took a shot that landed right in Marks thigh causing him to fall to the ground.
Morgan holstered his gun running over to Mark kicking away the knife before dropping to his knees punching Mark in the face. "I'm going to fucking kill you, you piece of shit."
As Morgan beat Mark, Reid ran over to Penelope taking off his vest and removing his shirt to help cover her up. She was still so dazed she didn't know what was going on, "its okay Penelope, I've got you."
"Morgan, get off of him." Hotch said pulling him away, "This isn't going to help Penelope."
Hearing her name. Morgan stopped hitting Mark and looked over to Reid who was sitting with Penelope trying to cover her naked body. He moved over to her trying to hold her, "Baby girl," he said softly.
But she turned into Reid chest instead letting the tears fall. The paramedics came in to get Penelope to the hospital.
"Don't worry Morgan once the drugs are out of her system she will know none of this was you." Rossi said trying to reassure him.
"Who is riding with her?" the medic asked as they got her onto the gurney and covered her with a blanket.
"I will, I'm her fiancé," Morgan said, following them out of the room.
He hopped into the back with Penelope by his side. She was still so out of it, she had no idea what was going on. He looked back at his team who were right outside. He saw Mark being taken into the other ambulance, he closed his eyes wish he was leaving in a body bag instead. He took a deep breath, "Penelope, I know right now you don't understand what's going on, but I promise you, we will get through this. Me and you, always. I love you."
"She's crashing!"
