Garcia's POV

Towards the end of the night the team came back with nothing, we gathered around the couches I was sitting on the ground with my laptop, "This day was a waste" I said to break the awkward silence in the room. "We didn't get really anything from the unsub" JJ said "I guess we'll have to wait for morning, we should get some rest" Hotch said, "Okay I'll pull a all nighter and see if I can find anything" I added "Okay, goodnight Garcia" the team said in a sort of unison tone.

A few hours later after finding nothing I was talking to my friend on the phone when the line went dead,"Fuck" I whispered to myself. I glanced over to my laptop and saw that the signal was down so I grabbed my flashlight and went outside. When I got to the wifi thing outside I pressed in a code and tried my best to get this thing working again, after a few minutes of trying I heard leaves crunching like someone was walking.

I walked towards the noise and I saw someone get stabbed and the unsub ran away, I ran toward the body and said "Come on stay with me, just look at me" I had blood all over my hands but I didn't care I wanted this man to live. I started to scream "Help!..Someone help!" that obviously wasn't working..then his eyes rolled to the back of his head. I felt his soul leave his body.

I started crying,hard. I ran back inside and got the team, Prentiss,Hotch,Rossi,JJ and Reid went outside while Morgan and I were sitting at the island in the kitchen and he was cleaning blood of my hands and questioning me, "Did you see him?" he asked. "Nope,he ran away from me" "Well okay that won't help,you ran towards the unsub you could've died out there Penelope" "I..I just..when I got shot, I remember saying in my mind that the last thing I was going to see in my life is the man who shot me and I didn't want him to see something terrible in his final moments of living." I said back holding back tears, "You still shouldn't have done it" Derek said sternly,"Dont question me like I'm a victim." I snapped at him, that's when I was pissed off at him and went upstairs.

I don't remember much after that, I do remember crying myself to sleep and that's about it. Derek loves me but he couldn't even comfort me after I witnessed someone get stabbed,such a great man.

Morgan's POV

Do I feel bad for being a big of a dick to Penelope? yes I do. I wanted to apologize but I couldn't.

*in the morning*

Penelope looked like a mess in the morning, her make-up was everywhere,her hair was a train wreck. I felt bad for her,she didn't even say anything to me in the morning like she does, she was in the cabin room for the remainder of the case.I was getting worried about her, on the case she spoke to everyone but me, she called JJ or someone instead of me when she got information. I wanted her back.
