Penelope smiled happily as she stepped off the elevator and headed toward her trusty car, once she opened the door she threw her stuff into the passenger side seat and said, "finally a week off". She heard someone walking up behind her she turned with a huge grin on her face thinking that it was Derek but that smile soon fell when she felt a pinch in her neck.
The last thing she heard before everything turned black was a laugh and a voice saying, "it's almost time my sweet Penelope, it's almost time" and then that is when she felt herself being lifted up but then her world went black. The man looked down at the sleeping agent and said, "they won't see this coming, not by a long shot" as he put Penelope into the back of his van before pulling away.
Derek and the rest of the team stepped off the elevator a few minutes later and headed toward their cars, Derek looks over and notices that Penelopes car door is open and she is no where around. He says, "baby girl, are you alright"?, when he gets no response the team walks over and sees her things in the passengers seat but no signs of her.
JJ said, "Garcieeeeee can you hear me"?, Dave said, "this isn't like kitten, she wouldn't leave her car here much less leave the door open, somethings definitley not right". Hotch turned and said, "alright let's head back up and see if Kevin can pull up the footage from the security cameras". Everybody quickly fell in line behind Hotch as they made their way inside.
When the team made it back upstairs they headed straight toward Penelopes lair and Derek was the first to step through the door, Kevin whirled around and said,
"whatttttt can I do for you"?, Hotch said, "I need you to pull up the footage in the parking garage for the past 15 to 20 minutes". Kevin nodded his head as he started working to pull up the footage.
Everybody watched as Penelope walked happily toward her car, they then watched as she tossed her things into the passenger side seat, the saw a van pull up and then a few minutes later they watched the van pull away. Reid said, "what about footage from another angle"?, Kevin tried and tried and said, "it seems that the other cameras are down or were down during that time".
Reid said, "so the unsub left that camera working because he knew that we wouldn't be able to see his face", he turned to the rest of the team and said, "but why take Penelope"?, Emily said, "maybe it's because of her computer skills, maybe they need to use her skills for something". Dave said, "I think we need to get the CSI's combing the area around her car and hope that they find something".
Hotch nodded his head in agreement as he pulled out his cell, he looked at the team and said, "Derek I want you and Reid to head to Penelopes place and see if you notice anything missing". He then looked at JJ and said, "JJ I need you and Emily to stay here with Kevin and see if the three of you can come up with a list of people that might want to take Penlope".
He then walked over to Dave and said, "you go and fill Erin in on what's happening while I get the CSI's started", everybody nodded their heads as Hotch walked out of the room. Kevin looked up at the girls and said, "who would want to hurt plumsauce"?, JJ put her hand on his shoulder and said, "we don't know Kevin but I promise you that we are going to find out and get her back".
Meanwhile across town Penelope opens her eyes and finds everything blurry as her eyes try to adjust to the darkness, she tries to move but finds herself tied to a chair. She struggles against the ropes to no avail, no matter how hard she struggles the only thing she manages to do is make the ropes burn deeper and deeper into her arms.
When she stops struggling when she hears a door open and somebody step inside, she hears each step and says, "who are you and what do you want"?, nobody says anything so she tries again. She takes a deep breath and says, "who are you and what do you want", her eyes get huge when the man squats down in her face and smiles.
She shakes her head and says, "nooooooo noooooo it can't be you", the man holds her face and says, "ohhhhhh but it is dear dear Penelope", the man said, "you are a beautiful woman and your team, your precious team isn't going to suspect a thing". She struggled against the ropes and said, "let me go, please just let me go".
He says, "tisk tisk tisk Penelope I can't do that, welllll at least not yet", she said, "what do you want with me"?, he caressed her cheek and said, "that's simple, I want you to kill somebody". She laughed and said, "you want me to what"?, he said, "laugh now Penelope but soon, very very soon you will do anything and everything I tell you to do".
She said, "you're crazy I'm not going to kill anybody no matter what you say", he slapped her hard across the face and said, "now you see that's where you're wrong". He then walked over to the table and she watched as he worked at a table, she saw him pick up something and head back over to her, she started shaking her head and said, "no, no, please don't do this to me".
He said, "stop struggling because fighting me is useless", she says, "I'll never hurt anybody, never", he sprayed the vapor into her face and smiled as she fought it for a few seconds before she went unconscious. He lifted her head and kissed her lips gently and said, "soon Penelope soon" before he turned and walked out of the room to finish the preparations.
As he stepped out into the hall he said, "hang on to your hats BAU Mr. Scratch is back"
