Part 19 (sorry for the delay, the end of the weeks are busier for me, but here you go. Enjoy)

Bystanders had called 911 when they heard the explosion. It didn't take long for paramedics and police to show up.

When Reid, JJ, and Garcia finally made their way out side, they just about collapsed on to the sidewalk.

Paramedics ran over to them to check on them. "Excuse me, what happened? Are you ok?" They asked.

Garcia looked at them and squinted her eyes. "Please check on my fiancés mother in apartment 3D." She said loudly.

One of the paramedics nodded and made his way up to the apartment. "Ma'am?" He called out.

Fran was in the corner with her ears covered and shaking.

He made his way over to her. "Are you ok? I was asked by I'm guessing you soon to be daughter in law to come get you. She's down stairs. Please come with me." He said as he healed out his hand.

Fran looked at him for a moment and then took his hand. They soon where lead outside and Fran ran over to Penelope and hugged her.

All of them where taken to the hospital. Penelope looked at Fran. "Call Derek please." She said as she laid in the bed.

Fran nodded and pulled out her phone and called.

Morgan saw it was just his mom calling. He sighed and started at Kevin. Prentiss was asking him everything.

Prentiss glanced at Morgan. "You can get that if you need to."

Morgan shook his head.

Prentiss turned back to Kevin. "So, Kevin, what makes you think you will get Garcia back?"

Kevin smiled. "We love each other and I'm doing this for her so we can be happy."

"For her? You really think she wants you hurting people just so you two can be together? Really?" She asked just as she heard Morgan's phone ring again.

Morgan answered it this time. "Mom, I'm busy." He said as he turned around.

"Derek, there's been an explosion. Penelope, Spencer and JJ are in the hospital. I'm with her. From the explosion, she has difficulty hearing, and her vision is blurry. Other then that she's ok. I believe the same with your friends." She spoke quickly to get everything out.

"Oh my god!" He said and turned back. "You did this!" He moved fast and punched Kevin in the face.

Prentiss grabbed his arm. "What happened?"

"There was an explosion at her apartment building. You could have killed everyone you sick sorry piece of shit!" He continued yelling. He had hung up the phone with his mom.

Prentiss looked at him. "Morgan, go I will be right behind you." She said to him.

Morgan nodded and left.

Prentiss talked to the cops and asked him to out Kevin into a cell and whatever they did, not to let him leave.

Arriving at the hospital Morgan ran in and asked for Penelope Garcia's room. The nurse told him she was in ER room 5. He made his way there and frowned when he saw his baby girl on the bed. He kissed his moms head. "You ok?" He asked.

She nodded and nodded towards Penelope.

Derek walked over and took her hand. "Baby girl, what happened?"

"She's still cant make out a whole lot right now." Fran said.

Derek ran his hand over his face and kissed her. To which she kissed him back and he smiled. He looked at her and pointed to his eye, then to his chest where his heart was and then to her. His way of silently saying, I love you.

She smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek. "I Love you too." She said loudly.

Fran laughed. "She doesn't know how loud she's being."

Morgan laughed. "I am going to check on Reid and JJ." He said standing up. He walked out of the room and ran into Prentiss. "Sorry."

"It's ok. How is she?"

"Ringing in her ears. Making it heard to hear anything. I guess her vision was blurry earlier but she's seeing better now." He filled her in. "I was just going to check on Reid and JJ." He told her. As they turned around a doctor was standing there looking at Prentiss.

"Excuse me, you where in here earlier right? A shoot out, with a man shot in the arm and a lady with a gunshot to the leg? Emily Prentiss right?" He asked.

"Yes, I was. Can I help you with something?" She asked.

"Yes, the women, Beth. The bullet hit her main artery and tour her gains and muscles to shreds. We did everything we could for her, but I'm sorry. She didn't make it." He said.

Morgan and Prentiss both looked at each other in shock. "How do I tell Hotch?" She asked.

"This isn't good. I will need the bullet so we can do ballistics on it. Find out who did it and make him pay."

"I will go and get that for you then. Again, I'm sorry." The doctor said and left.

Prentiss sighed and called Hotch.

"Hotch." He said answering his phone as he made sure Rossi was ok watching Jack for right now.

"Aaron, I need to talk with you. It's about Beth."

"Emily, what's wrong? Is she ok?" He asked.

"I rather not say this over the phone."

"She's gone, isn't she? Oh my god!" He said down on the steps.

"You at Rossi's? I will be right there to pick you up. You shouldn't be driving." She said.

"Ok." He said as he broke down some.

Prentiss told Morgan and left to pick up Hotch. A few minutes later she pulled up in front of his place and hurried over to him. She hugged him to her and held him.

"I'm sorry. I can't believe this is happening again." He said to her as he hugged her back.

"Not your fault. Blame Kevin. You know he did this." She said to him.

"I hate when outsiders get hurt." He sighed. "She broke up with me the other day, she didn't like living like this. Just like Haley. But I needed a babysitter. Why did I ask her?"

"She was marked anyways because of us going to the bar months ago." She told him. These past few days just seem to keep getting worse. She didn't want to know what would happen next.

He pulled back from her. "Thanks Emily, Jack will be devastated. I have to be strong for the team. So, where is everyone?"

Emily gave him a small nod. "Well of course Rossi is inside. You and I are here and the rest are in the hospital. Oh! We caught the replicator. It's Kevin. He's be stalking Penelope, trying to get her back."

Hotch was shocked. "You have got to be kidding me! Maybe this nightmare will end soon then." He said as they'd drove back to the hospital and to their team.
