QUESTION OF THE CHAPTER: If you could rob a store without any consequence, which one would it be? ***Banks are not a store :")

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The day so far had been slow. No new victims, no new leads. And their investigation on the members of the PD wasn't leading them anywhere either.

The day so far had been useless.

That much could be sensed in the air around the Agents.

"Is it really such a bad idea to speak with Geneva about what we know?" JJ wondered out loud with a sigh "Feels like we're at a dead end"

"The Unsub could be using this information about her to get away with his crimes" the leader spoke firmly "I know it seems to be the only thing we can do to move forward, but it could backfire"

"Agents, there's a Fax coming through for you" Agent McHale popped her head into the room.

"I'll go get it" the Doctor stood up from his chair. He locked eyes with Thaleia for a second, which was enough time for her to express to him how she didn't like that one bit.

Who would have said I was the jealous type... she thought to herself.

"She's gonna steal your man" JJ teased leaning over to the girl.

"All hers if she wants him" she shrugged reading once again the papers in front of her. Or at least she pretended so. From the corner of her eye, the girl kept track of what was going on over at the fax machine.

McHale was smiling stupidly at the boy, playing with her hands and looking away shortly to look back at him less than a second after.

Thaleia couldn't help but let her mind wander off into comparing herself to that woman, starting with the fact that she was a woman, while she herself was a girl, a child in the eyes of everyone.

Her body was more voluptuous in the right places than the girl was- men liked those parts as big as possible, didn't they? Plus she looked and behaved way more mature than Thaleia.

McHale looked more like someone who could give Spencer stability, rather than the youngest Doctor. The previous night was an example.

I bet she doesn't have nightmares, or panic attacks, or hallucinations, or people that are trying to kill her...

"Thaleia" the girl was ripped off her state by the boy's tense and slightly-louder-than-usual voice "What the hell is this?"

"Huh?" she stood up and reached her hand out to grab the paper Reid had, but he pulled it away before she could even graze it.

"No. You only look, not touch. You tend to keep these kind of things to yourself"

"What the hell, Reid?"

"Yeah, what the hell, Bubbles?" his hard stare didn't soften as everyone's eyes were on him. His were only on hers "Fine, show me" he turned the paper around and put it flat on the table for everyone to see. It was some sort of letter:

<<Wow... why am I not surprised that you haven't told your team about our last chat... tsk tsk do you even consider them your team?
You didn't even mention it to your boyfriend... after I proved how much we care about him... I am hurt, we were rooting for you two. Guess if you don't want him that much, he's of no use to us.
I think I'll take him anyway. Just for fun.

Threats aside, I can't believe you haven't caught that killer yet. Thought you were smarter than that. Plus he's wandered in front of you so many times... You are so gullible.
