We continued to walk through the forest and saw there was a clearing up ahead with what looked like fallen trees. As we neared I quickly worked out this was Ash's work.
"Is that guy speared?" Prentiss asked.
"Yeah."
"Previous victim?" Morgan questioned.
"He's dressed in camouflage. Has to be one of the people." Hotch told.
"What? He forgot one of their traps?" Jj questioned.
"No. Ash did that. She's done stuff like this with Dean."
"Who's Dean?" Rossi questioned as we looked for a sign from her.
"One of her ex's." I told as I looked up a tree to see something.
"She has an ex called Dean?" Morgan asked.
"Yeah. I haven't met him, she didn't know how to explain it while they were so she kept quiet about it. I think one of Ash's knifes are in the tree." I told pointing to it making everyone come over to see it.
"Do you think you can climb that?" Hotch questioned looking towards Morgan.
"I'll try." He told before he began to climb up.
After a few minutes he got the knife and climbed back down. Once he did he held it out for us and I knew it was Ash's."So why clean your knifes?" I questioned as I sat across from her at her kitchen bench.
"So they don't rust from things. This one is one of my favourites. Dean got it for me for our first Christmas together. Cuts through shit so easily, and he also got my family motto carved into the handle with a bunny."
"Will I ever meet him?"
"You want to meet Dean?"
"He's important in your life. You two are Abby's godparents and he was your husband. Besides, I've always been curious what the Winchester criminals were like."
"He's a sweetheart. He should like you..... he was glad you were the one to help protect us on the train."
"You didn't tell him?"
"Oh no I did. We had crazy sex after that." She told before putting that knife down to clean another one."That's Ash's knife." I stated.
"You know for sure it is?" Hotch asked.
"Yeah. She showed it to me." I explained as I carefully took it to show 'Always be prepared, the Harper way' and the outline of a rabbit at the bottom of the handle. "This is Ash's."
"The Harper way?" Prentiss asked.
"Her mother started it. It's better to be prepared for anything then not prepared, that's the Harper way."
"Then we follow the direction it was pointing." Hotch told making us do so.
'Please stay alive Ash. I can't lose you like Mike.'?
