Summer's outfit
....

The weekend had soon enough passed and it was off to work. Summer pulled on her Dr Martens grabbed her bags and left. The drive over to the office was nerve wracking to say the least, she hadn't spoken to Spencer since Saturday and didn't know how things were going to be when she saw him. All these thoughts filled her mind what if he regrets being with me, he said i was his dream girl did he even mean that? what if he likes me back? She pulled into the car park and parked her car got out and made her way into the office. Walking into the bullpen she see Garcia holding files and she instantly knew they had a case, she threw her bags down and made her way up to the round table room. She walked into
the room everyone was already seated, Summer felt a lump in her throat when she realised Spencer was staring at her. She sat down in between Luke and JJ as that was the only seat left.

"My wonderful fighters of crime you are off too Rutland, Vermont to assist with the investigation into 4 murder's two males and two females each found strangulated and dumped in various parks in the city" Garcia stated. The team spoke theories for about 10 minutes before Emily said "Alright, wheels up in 20" the team exited the room. Spencer watching Summer leave like a hawk neither have spoken since arriving at work. Summer made it to her desk collecting her bags she watched Spencer make his way down the stairs collect his things he was about to walk past her so she braced herself to finally speak to him but he walked straight past her not even acknowledging her. Summers heart dropped to the pit of her stomach, she didn't understand why he didn't want to talk to her, for whatever reason, it absolutely broke her.

Sitting at the window seat in the jet staring out in a daze completely oblivious to anyone else around her, she was running through every possible scenario as to why he wouldn't want to talk to her. Soon pulled out of her daze by Emily allocating the team, Luke and Tara you head the the M.E check out the victims, JJ and Reid you'll be talking to the families we need as much background as we can get from them on the victims, Chase and Summer you'll go visit the latest crime scene and Rossi, you and I will head to precinct to meet the officers on the case, everyone agreed. At this point Summer didn't care what she was doing as long as it wasn't with Reid, she felt like she had made the biggest mistake of her life sleeping with him, it reminded her of Cassie, they'd sleep together and then Cassie would stop talking to her for weeks. The thought of Reid doing that to her make her stomach turn.

Driving over to the crime scene Chase noticed Summer picking at her sleeve, "Hey, are you ok?" he asked, Chase knew that when she was anxious she could potentially scratch her arm to pieces and be completely unaware. Summer dropped her hand down knowing what he was referring too "Yeah, I am fine, just have a lot on my mind right now" she sighed knowing she couldn't tell him what was really going on for her. "Oh yeah, care to share?" pulling up at the crime scene "Not really" Summer said unbuckling her seatbelt and opening the car door. They both hopped out of the car, and walked to the crime scene. They head over to the yellow taped area flashing their badges Chase lifted up the yellow tape and Summer stepped under it they made their way to the officer on the scene "Hi I am SSA Chase Grey and this is SSA Summer Flint, we are from the FBI Behavioural Analysis Unit" The officer shook Chase's hand "Nice to meet you both, I am Officer Lander take a look around and if you have any questions I am happy to answer them" he said with a smile.

"Thanks, really appreciate it" Summer said. The two walked around the crime scene "Now why would someone use a method like strangulation which is personal, then dump them out in public for everyone to see?" Chase asked looking at Summer "Maybe the unsub wanted to humiliate them" She said looking at the dump site. They walked around for about 15 minutes really trying to figure it out until they felt the need to return to the precinct to share their thoughts with the rest of the team. They drove over to the precinct just as they were pulling in so was JJ and Reid, Summer felt that lump in her throat again. They all get out of the cars at the same time, Chase waving to them why can't we just not acknowledge them for a minute she though to herself. Spencer did not look at her not even once.

The team got together in the room they were set up in they pinged ideas back and forth for awhile but unfortunately were not getting any closer to a complete profile. Emily sent them off for the night to the hotel to have them rest and they'd return in the morning and hopefully be able to complete the profile.
