Thank you so much for the reviews and I am also very sorry not being able to update more often.

I still don't own Criminal Minds

When she regained consciousness, she felt so much pain through all her body that she could not help but cry. She looked at her surroundings and realized that she was in a basement. She tried to get up but the pain was unbearable and fell back on the worn couch she was lying on.

"Where am I?" she wondered before losing consciousness once again.

Meanwhile Ed and James were talking animatedly in the living room.

"We need to get her to the hospital"

"No! I don't want to have other problems with the Justice. "James shouted.

"We will both have problems if something happen to her."

"Something already happened to her." James said bitterly.

"Why did she have to come? This B*** is after me… she deserved what happened after all that happened to me because of her." he added a while after.

"Don't talk about her like that, she is my sister." Eddie said angrily.

"OH! You're taking her side now? You knew that she always wanted me and once she obtained what she was longing for, she accused me of raping her as if I needed to rape her sorry a**"

Eddie was shocked to hear his friend talk like that in front of him. He was discovering a side of him that he did not like at all. Was Penelope right all this time? Did he rape her and turned everyone against her, leaving her no choice then to leave the city and try to rebuild her life?

Eddie was conflicted; he knew that he was wrong. Penelope was his sister despite what happened, he did not want anything bad happening to her. He needed to know the truth.

"James, did you rape my sister?"

James seemed surprised by this unexpected question.

"Why are you asking? Why now? You never doubted me before."

"You are different… You are showing me a side of you I did not know. I know that Penelope had a crush on you… we all knew that and maybe something happened… We used to tease her about you and she clearly said that if one day you try to do something with her she would never trust you enough to let it happen… For her you were unreachable… I realize now, I was blinded by shame and by your really persuasive words but maybe you did rape her, you thought that because she had a crush on you she would be more than willing to kiss you or god knows what else… but despite her young age Penelope has always been clever and we were the stupid one. God… Penelope."

Eddie stared at his friend with angry eyes and walked passed him.

"Where are you going?" James asked.

"I am helping my sister like I should have all those years ago."

He went towards the basement but did not go far, he felt a sharp pain on his head before everything went black.
