AN: The next two chapters will be drama filled, sorry. The story is not about an UNSUB, I needed to have him in this chapter to tie everything to together soon. Thank you for reading. As always thank you for the reviews. They make me want to write more;]

"Ronnie, call an ambulance! This women is still alive!" Andy was looking down at a severely beaten woman. His friend Ronnie and him were on an early morning run through the park when they heard a moan from behind the bushes.

Andy decided to slow his pace and look for the sound. When he heard it again he was able to narrow down the area to behind a bush not far from the running trail.

"Ma'am help is on the way, stay with me, okay?" Andy grabbed her hand to give her some comfort. She had blood all over her face and arms. Her shirt was ripped open and there was a note pinned to her bra. "Ma'am their are almost here, help is on the way."

"Derek," she could barely get the word out.

"Is that the man that hurt you? Come on princess, stay with me."

"Sir, step back. We've got her." The paramedics pulled the backboard up beside her. "Ma'am we are here to help you. Can you tell me your name?"

Silence.

"Ma'am, can you hear me?"

"She's crashing!" One of the paramedics grabbed the defibrillator and waited for it to charge.

"Clear,"

Nothing.

"Clear,"

"We got a pulse." The paramedic looked at Andy. "Can you ride with us so you can give your statement at the hospital?"

"Sure… sure, is she going to be okay?"

"She's not out of the woods yet but if you hadn't come along when you did she'd be dead in a few hours."

"What's that pinned to her bra?"

The paramedic put on a pair of gloves and opened the note.

Derek looked at his watch she had been gone for over an hour now. "How much more time does she need?" He got off the bed to go look for her.

He walked into the hallway and looked around. It was quiet but what did he expect it was after midnight on a Wednesday. He continued down to the lobby looking for any sign of her. When he came up empty he strolled out of the lobby and onto the street. Panic was stating to set in. She wouldn't have just left would she? He thought, even if she was upset she wouldn't have up and left, not when she knew it wasn't safe. There was a killer walking the streets.

He started to run down the street looking for her calling out her name. When he couldn't find her he knew he needed to alert the team. He ran back to the hotel bypassing the elevator opting for the stairs.

"Hotch, Hotch!" he started banging on the door. "Hotch, wake up it's Garcia!"

Hotch opened the door a little groggy. Morgan was being so loud the rest of the team was now making their way into the hall.

"Morgan, what's going on?"

"It's Garcia she's gone." He was now in a full-fledged panic.

"How do you know she's gone?" Rossi said.

"We got in a fight over an hour ago, she said she needed to clear her head so I just let her walk out of the room. What is wrong with me?" Morgan started pacing.

"She didn't bring her phone?"

"No we were arguing and she made a run for the door saying she needed to clear her head. I thought it would be good for her to cool down so I let her go."

"Calm down, Morgan, I'm sure she's fine. Maybe she went to a coffee shop or something?"

"Rossi, nothings open this late or early, fuck I don't know even know what time it is."

"What was the argument about?" Hotch said

Reid knew what the argument must have been about so he jumped in "Do we know where her phone is? We should retrace her steps. Maybe she fell asleep in the lobby. Morgan, come let me in your room so I can look for her phone. You keep the adjoining door open right?" His questions were such rapid fire Morgan's head was spinning he moved to let Reid into his room. Once the door shut behind them Reid moved fast. He threw everything that resembled Derek's into his room.

"What are you doing, Reid?" Morgan asked still in a panic.

"The team will be coming in here any second move you shit out of here and into your room now. You don't want them to figure out your sleeping with her do you?"

Derek stood there wide-eyed.

"Derek MOVE!" He snapped out of his shocked state and moved to grab anything that would prove he had been sleeping with her into his room. He also threw the sheets off the bed to make it look like he was sleeping there.

"Morgan, did you find her phone?" Hotch's voice came through the door.

He took one more look around before he opened the door.

"I got it, Hotch" Reid said coming through the adjoining door to Morgan's room. "There's no new text messages or anything alarming. The last person she had contact with was John."

Emily was right behind them "Oh my God, I need to call John. He's going to flip."

Morgan was freaking out, the love of his life was missing. "Morgan, what did you and Garcia argue about?"

Thinking fast he answered. "She was upset with me for the way I treated her when I was her boss. I was upset at her for not telling me about Kevin or John."

"What made her walk out of the room?"

"I said John was just a rebound for Kevin." It wasn't a lie he really thought that was all John was to her. If she really loved John she wouldn't be having an affair with him. She would have stopped it that first night he'd kissed her.

"That probably pissed her off." came from JJ.

"We need to find her." Morgan took off out of the room ready to punch something.

"You said you found her right?" The detective said to Andy.

"Yeah, Ronnie and I go for our morning run in the park at 4 am. We were running through the trail when I heard a moan. I stopped running to see if I could hear it again. When I did I found her laying in a heap with blood all over her and shirt ripped open."

They were sitting in one of the hospitals office rooms. "Did she say anything other than make noises?"

"When I grabbed her hand she said Derek. That's the last thing I heard before the paramedics came."

"Thank you Andy, I might need to call you again. I'm gonna have another detective take you home. If you remember anything else you call me okay?" He handed Andy his card.

"Alert the locals, Rossi. We need to get an APB out on Garcia. She wouldn't have gone far."

Morgan was pacing the police station. How could she end up missing? Not after he had finally told her he loved her. He took a deep breath when Reid came up to him with coffee.

"Relax Morgan, we will find her."

He took the cup and sat down in a nearby chair. "How did you know?"

"She didn't tell me anything if that's what you think. I saw you both that night at the bar and when I was in your room the other morning it was hard not to miss the men's body wash or your cloths on the floor. You also don't know how to make a bed look like it was slept in."

"It's not what you think, Reid. I'm not using her, I'm in love with her."

"I know." He placed his hand on his shoulder and stood up. "I'm going to go check with the team."

The detective was pacing the halls of the hospital waiting for the doctors to inform him of any updates. The victim was still unconscious so he had to wait to hear from the doctors' what was going on. They had taken her up to have a head CT done.

"Hey Roberts, did you hear? I think we got an ID on your victim." another detective said walking up to him.

"How?"

"There was a APB put out on one Penelope Garcia. She is here working a case with the FBI. She went missing last night and matches the description of your victim to a "T" even her pajamas. I called her boss when I got the notification, her team is on their way."

"Thanks Man, maybe one of them will know who this Derek is?"

Twenty Minuets later a man came running through the hospital. "Where is she? Where is she?"

The defective walked up to Morgan pulling him back, "Calm down son, who are you looking for?"

Hotch and the rest of the team rounded the corner. "Stand down Morgan, we don't even know if it's Garcia."

"Hotch, it has to be her. Who else would have cat and rainbow pajamas?"

The detective introduced himself figuring out who these people were. "You must be the FBI agents who placed the APB. I'm Detective Roberts I'm in charge of her case."

Hotch shook the mans hand "Thank you, do we know anything?"

"I'm waiting for the doctors to come back down. They had to take her up to do a head CT. She has a really bad head wound, causing her to still be unconscious."

"Have you seen her?" Rossi asked.

"Yeah, when I was done speaking with the man who found her I was allowed to go see her. They were cleaning up her knife and head wounds. They asked me to leave so they could preform some more tests." He looked at the shell-shocked team. "Can any of you tell me who Derek is?"

Morgan turned around. "That's me. What's wrong?"

"The man that found her told me the only thing she said was your name." He said in an accusing tone.

"What are you trying to say?"

"I'm not saying anything. I just know from experience that if the woman knows her attacker it's normally the first thing they say."

"Are you fucking kidding me? I didn't lay a hand on her." Morgan was about to punch him when Reid stepped in.

"Relax Morgan, he is just doing his job." He turned to the detective "Morgan didn't do this."

He was about to say something else when a doctor walked up. "Detective Roberts, have we been able to confirm the victims is Penelope Garcia?"

"I believe so Doctor, this is her team. She works for the FBI." Roberts motioned to the group.

Hotch stepped up. "Can you tell me what happened?"

"Ms. Garcia was servilely beaten. Two of her ribs have been broken and her head laceration was deep. Good news is her CT shows no damage to her brain. It's going to take a while for her wounds to heal but she should make a full recovery once she wakes up."

JJ looked panicked "What do you mean when she wakes up?"

"She coded once in route to he hospital and once again when she got here. We were able to bring her back both times but her body is still in shock from the beating that compiled with the head injury has caused her to still be unconscious."

Rossi knew he had to ask so he took a deep breath "Was she raped?"

"We did run a rape kit on her, unfortunately the answer is inconclusive. It shows she has been sexual active within the last 48 hours, but there wasn't as much bruising or force as we normally see with rapes. There was some but that could also be from rough intercourse. We were able to collect a sperm sample and have sent it off to the lab to be tested."

"Oh God," Emily screamed. "She was raped. We've been on this case for four days now so she hasn't been with John. How are we going to tell him?" Emily started pacing as tears fell from her eyes.

Morgan stepped away from the group trying to calm him body. Hotch noticed him leave and went to walk after him.

"I got him Hotch, he probably feels like this is all his fault." Reid said walking past the group.

When he made his way over to Morgan he placed his hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay?"

Morgan looked at him with his eyebrow up. "Do you really think I'm okay? The women I love was beaten, she has two broken ribs and she was raped…" he said with air quotes.

"You don't think she was raped?"

"Reid you and I both know there would be more damage, yeah they found sperm but that sperm is mine. This is my entire fault; I should have never let her leave. I just figured she needed a few minutes away from me to clear her head. When she got back I was going to pour my heart out to her and prove to her I'm the man she should to be with."

"The team is going to find out when the lab results come back."

"I know... I know. It's just… Damn it! What am I going to do? What if she blames me for this?"

"She is not going to blame you Morgan. Come on lets head back to the doctor."

They made their way back over to the group. The doctor was still telling them about Garcia's injuries. "There was also a note pinned to her bra. I had one of my nurses bag it and give it to the detective. It you like I can take you to her."

Hotch nodded and looked at the detective. "Do you have the note?"

"Yeah, I'll have one of my guys bring it to you." Hotch nodded and followed the doctor to Garcia's room.

Morgan walked in first. "Baby girl," He ran to the side of the bed grabbing her hand, "Penelope, who did this to you?"

The rest of the team followed in gasps and sobs were heard as each member got to look at their favorite spark of life. "Wake up for us Garcie. We love you" JJ said kissing her forehead.

"Agent Hotchner?"

Hotch turned to see a young man outside the door. "That's me."

"Detective Roberts told me to bring you this. It's the letter pinned to the victim."

He took the plastic bag from the officer "Thank you."

The room watched him as he stared at the paper not giving away any facial expressions. He handed the paper over to Rossi and left the room.

Rossi took one look at the note and balled his fists.

Next time she'll end up like the rest of them. BACK OFF!
