Thank you again for the support. I'm trying my best to write in a proper English.
I don't own CM sadly.

Like Rossi said that day would indeed be a long one.
Another victim had been found not far from where they found the last victim.
The team decided to work harder on this, for the moment Penelope could wait. At least they knew where she was.
***************************************************************************
After hearing the breaking news, Penelope decided to investigate the house. She quickly found the key to John's basement. She carefully went down the stairs and curiously looked at her surroundings.
No need to say she was not prepared to what she was seeing.
**************************************************************************
The case was becoming harder for the BAU team. They didn't know where they were heading and it was disturbing them.
By the end of the day the autopsy report came. They all saw how Hotch face went paler every second as he read it.
"Hotch what's wrong?" Emily asked.
"Penelope is in danger."
"What?" JJ cried.
"The unsub is John Caldwell. The victim had some blood beneath her nails. It appears that the DNA is John Caldwell's."
"Damn!" Morgan said heading towards the door.
"Morgan wait! You have to calm down…"
"Rossi."
"No! If you don't calm down, you're staying here!"
"That's ok let's go."
***************************************************************************
Penelope thought she was going to be sick when she saw the pictures in the box she had broken. Now with what she had discovered earlier she was terrified. In a bag she had found bloody clothes, bloody surgical instruments and some horrible pictures: pregnant women lying dead.
She tried to get up but she was not feeling well at all
She gathered her courage and managed to go upstairs. She was searching Agent Hotchner card in her purse when a noise startled her. She turned quickly.
"Sweetheart is that what you're looking for?" John said showing her the little white card.
That time Penelope didn't miss the wild fire in his eyes.
***************************************************************************
The team quickly reached the Caldwell's house. Everyone praying that they would not be too late. When they entered the house it was dreadfully silent.
***************************************************************************
John had left his house early that day. He had to get rid of his last victim body. Killing her had been hard; she had managed to scratch him on the neck.
When he had finally managed to kill her, this detail was quickly forgotten. It's only when he was receiving his first patient that he had thought about it…. He knew it wouldn't be long til' the police went to catch him.
He didn't have any attention to be caught… he was determined to leave this world with his dear Mary. So he went back to his home only to find her around in things in his basement.
He had heard her muttered.
"I have to call Agent Hotchner, where's my purse."
He could see her panicking so he quickly and silently went upstairs.
"So your friends are back, they certainly know who you are." He whispered.
He easily found her purse and grabbed the card.
"Ah ah agent Hotchner, you'll never have her. You shouldn't have left her with me." He chuckled.
He heard her moving and hid behind the door.
