Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful - Joshua J. Marine

The whole trip back to Quantico I was silent, I knew he was coming back and I knew it was going to be as soon as I got into the FBI. He knew that I always wanted to be in the BAU, Son of a bitch. 

I gripped onto the side of the table as we went over turbulence, JJ walked over to my table and put a coffee down in front of me before sitting across the table from me. "I know that you don't want to tell anyone, I can understand that. But keeping all your emotions bottled up inside of you, is going to make you ill. So anytime you need to talk to me, I'm always going to be there for you, I'm only one call away no matter the time." She said and I nodded, before she stood up and got out of the seat as I sipped on the side of the coffee JJ had given me. 

10 minutes later I fell asleep against the cool window. I cuddled into the chair I was sitting in.

I felt someone nudge my shoulder and I started to wake up, I looked over to see Morgan kneeling down beside me, "Time to wake up, were back." He said and I nodded as I went to grab my stuff but Morgan grabbed my stuff for me. "Your still injured babygirl, I'm taking your stuff." He warned and I glared at him before walking of the jet, deciding not to argue with him.

I got into one of the SUV's as we headed back to the offices, it took us about 20 minutes to get there and when we did I used my card to get in and let everyone else in. Garcia came running out and she wrapped her arms around me.

"My love, I thought I said be safe and not get blown up." She said and I chuckled.

"I'm fine PG, I'm fine." I said and she sighed before hugging me tighter. "Pen, Your going to cut of my breathing pipe and hurt my ribs even more." I said and she pulled back.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." She said and I wrapped my hands around her shoulder.

"It's fine Pen," I said and we headed up to our offices, we all started to head to our desks when I saw a parcel on my desk, making me stop right in the middle of the office. I gently walked to it after a minute of just standing in the middle of the office. I grabbed a pair of scissors and opened it, realising my worst fears had come true again. Three years of photographs were in the box with a note sitting on top of it. I felt sick to my stomach, Hotch knew about the stalking but I couldn't see it going this far.

I grabbed it and walked up to Hotch's office, "Hotch, I've got a problem." I said as I sat down the box and he looked at me before he looked at all the photos. 

"When did you get this?" He asked.

"Just when I got back into the office." I said "I feel like I'm going to puke," I said covering my mouth, one in horror and two I couldn't believe he was back. 

"Is everything okay?" Asked Rossi as he came into the office, He was the other one to know that this was happening to me.

"Grace got this when we got back," Hotch said pushing the box towards Rossi and he walked over it and opened it to see the photos as I covered my mouth again. I ran to the nearest bathroom and puked, someone came into my stall and held my hair back. 

"You okay?" Asked JJ's voice coming into my ears and I nodded, I wiped my mouth and flushed the toilet. "I'm fine JJ," I said as I walked over to wash my hands but I saw JJ leaning against the wall. 

"I know that is a lie, What's going on?" JJ asked, I sighed as I stopped washing my hands and switched off the tap. 

"I'm being stalked again, After three years of nothing I'm being stalked again." I whispered and I looked at JJ's shocked face. "You can't tell anyone, Rossi and Hotch are the only people that know. I don't want Morgan, Spencer, Garcia or Emily to know." I said and she nodded.

"I will keep it a secret for as long as I can," She said and I looked round at her before going over to her and wrapped my hands around her and broke down in her arms, She instantly pulled me closer to her and let me cry into her shoulder.
