Penelope's POV

"I want you to tell me what happened, from the beginning Penelope. Go at your own pace. Take your time." I heard Hotch began as he took a seat next to the bed.

"I- I left the bar. The street was so dark and quiet. I had to walk to, uh, to find a cab. I kept hearing sounds and that's when it happened." I started closing my eyes and trying to remember everything.

"I was grabbed and shoved into an alley. He kept dragging me and then pushed me into a building." My voice cracked.

"Take your time." Hotch said.

"There were, uh, 5 or 6 guys I think. They had a mattress on the ground like they were ready for me." I said as a tear trickled down my cheek.

"What happened next?" Hotch asked.

"He-he pushed me down on the mattress and they... they took turns r-raping me." I said as I bursted into tears.

"Penelope. Stay with me. Do you know who did this to you." Hotch asked me. My eyes popped open.

"I-I can't. He said he'd hurt Derek. I can't Hotch. I can't say." I begged frantically.

"Penelope listen to me. We will be able to keep both you and Derek safe. We have to get him off the street."

I took a breath. "Rodney." I whispered.

"We will find him. We'll find them all. I promise. I will keep somebody with you so you're not alone." Hotch said before rushing out the door.
