She squirmed as he approached the bed. He smiled as his hands brushed across her breast his fingers lingering on her nipples briefly before suddenly holding the taser against her neck. She bucked and screamed against the tape as excruciating pain ripped through her body. He pressed it against her neck a second time causing her body to arch off of the bed seemingly to be suspended in air momentarily before dropping like a thud against the mattress.

"Yes!" He shouted. "That's it! Ahhh…I love it! See, Pen, that's what happens to disobedient girlfriends!"

She closed her eyes tight riding the wave of pain and fighting to hold in the tears. Her breathing was rugged as she tried to brace herself for what would come next. She shivered as his hands raked across her body down between her legs, touching her as she tried again in vain to move away from his touch.

He looked down on her as she writhed in pain sweat beading lightly across her body. He wondered how much she would be able to take as he held the taser to her neck again. His erection pressed against his pants as he gleefully watched her. It was time time to take her and show her once and for all who she belonged to. He wondered how it would feel to totally dominate her against her will. He'd know soon as he began to unbuckle his belt.

Derek nearly jumped out of the car as it rolled to a stop in front of the building. Yelling to the detective to call for back up he ran unarmed toward the entrance. He saw her car parked in its usual space and he doubled his speed taking the steps two at a time. He prayed that he hadn't arrived too late as he kicked the door in. Immediately he was greeted with her muffled cries for help.

He rounded the corner bursting through the beaded wall of color to see her tied to the bed naked, bruised and hysterical. Kevin was nowhere to be seen. He moved quickly keeping his focused on her wide-eyed expression as she writhed on the bed yelling beneath the duct tape on her mouth. His heart shattered he didn't want to think about what she'd already endured and the fact that he'd arrived too late. He ripped the tape from her mouth and her panic increased as he fought to untie her.

"No! Derek! He's be…!"

He turned seconds before feeling a sharp blinding force crash against the side of his head.

"NO!"

He heard her scream as he fought against the pull on his body toward the darkness.

"NO!"

He kept reaching for the bindings around her wrist but his body began falling away from her.

"Derek!"

Then just before his body hit the floor he looked up into the smiling grin of a blonde Kevin Lynch who sent a powerful kick to Morgan's midsection for good measure and watched as the fallen hero lost consciousness.

Hotch jerked the SUV to a stop in front of the squad car. Detective Armstrong pocketed his phone and waited for Hotch to approach him.

"What happened?" Hotch demanded.

The others surrounded the detective waiting impatiently for a response.

"I-I don't know. We just got here and Agent Morgan ran inside. I just called for back up and they should be here any minute now."

"Wait, you let him go in alone?" Rossi began.

"He told me to…"

"If I'm not mistaken he's unarmed!" Rossi yelled.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know what…"

"Let's go!"

Hotch, Rossi, JJ and Reid ran toward the entrance of the building leaving the befuddled detective to wait on the sidewalk.

"I hate interruptions, don't you Plum Sauce?"

Kevin standing dressed in only his dingy tighty whities glanced over his shoulder at the unconscious Derek Morgan. Penelope began fighting against her bindings as she looked from Derek to Kevin and back.

"Derek, wake up, Baby!"

"Oh, he can't help you, Pen. But just think, maybe he will wake up in time to see what I saw the other night!"

Stepping over Morgan's body he moved to the dresser where he'd spread his tools and grabbed the knife and returned to the bed.

"You won't get away with this, Kevin!"

Morgan began moving slowly fighting to get to his feet. He'd promised that he'd take care of her and he had to protect her. He could hear her she seemed so far away as he pulled his body from the floor.

Kevin didn't see him on his knees now fighting to clear his vision. He was confident that he'd hit him hard enough to keep him down but he forgot that this was Derek Morgan he was dealing with and it was Penelope Garcia who was at stake.

"Penelope, you've been a bad girl."

She saw Derek move behind the crazed man in front of her and her breathing increased and so did her hope.

"Don't do this Kevin!"

Derek was on his feet now. His legs felt week and his vision blurry but it didn't matter he was strong enough to kill Kevin once he got his hands on him. He watched as Kevin raised the knife above his head and he saw the shear terror in her eyes.

"Derek!"

Derek lunged toward Kevin just as he turned toward him. Just as his hands reached the man's neck he felt a sharp piercing pain as the blade of the knife penetrated his lower abdomen. It didn't matter he held onto Kevin's neck gripping it with all that was left in him.

Hotch and the others burst through the door guns drawn. Kevin heard the commotion and he knew his time was up but he wasn't going down without a fight so he stabbed Morgan again with the knife just as the others came into view. Even though he'd stabbed him Morgan's hands were still clamped around his neck and he began to feel light-headed.

"Kevin Lynch, drop the knife!" Hotch yelled.

JJ quickly moved to the bed where a now hysterical Garcia lay screaming at the top of her lungs. Kevin red-faced and gasping for air dropped the bloody knife and collapsed against the wall as he tried to pry Morgan's hands off of his neck. Rossi ran to Morgan pulling him away and lowering his weakened body to the floor.

Reid and Hotch quickly grabbed Kevin slamming him face first to the ground and cuffing him while JJ covered a shivering Penelope and then freeing her wrists. Kevin heard a sickening crunch as his face hit the carpeted floor and as his mouth filled with blood he knew for sure that his nose was broken.

"Derek!"

JJ held her friend in her arms rocking her and comforting her as Rossi called for help. Everything seemed to swirl around him in slow motion as Derek lay bleeding on the floor next to a handcuffed gasping Kevin Lynch.

All Derek could think of was that he wanted him dead; he was still breathing, it wasn't right…he should be dead for what he did. As he began to slip into the darkness he vowed silently to finish what he'd started…Kevin Lynch would not live long enough to go to prison.

As the darkness seduced him into the abyss of pain and agony, Derek Morgan renewed his promise to end Kevin Lynch's life.
