Letting go of the old

Chapter 2

POV: Reader

You and Catherine drive in a comfortable silence, those you can tell Catherine wants to talk, you are too tired to talk as you feel your eyes becoming heavy, so you learn your head against the window of the car closing your eyes for just for a minute.

"Y/N" Catherine calls you touching your shoulder lightly trying to wake you "y/n" Catherine try's again this time she gently moves a lock of your hair behind your ear before kissing you lightly on the cheek, you slowly open your eyes

"Catherine?" You ask in a sleepy voice as you touch your cheek, you look at Catherine as you open the car door, you don't know what to say to her and you are to tired to think straight so you just get out of the car but not before getting your bag from the back seat

"Good night my love" Catherine says with a sad smile

"Bring my car back in the morning" you tell Catherine as you walk toward your building, you can feel Catherine eyes on you, those you don't turn around to check, you just walk straight into your building and straight up to your flat, you don't turn the lights on right away, instead you go to your living room window and sure enough Catherine was still sitting in your car outside, so you turn on the lamp next to your sofa before getting yourself a drink, you go into your bedroom and once again you look out of the window, Catherine was gone so she was obviously just waiting for you to get inside safely, You get ready for bed and as soon as your head hits the pillow you are asleep.

Since you were given a couple of days off from work after your last case, you were able to sleep in, which you were grateful for as you really needed the rest, by the time you finally woke up it was late afternoon, you jumped in the shower and got ready since you had no food, you thought about going to the diner to have a late breakfast, when you remember Catherine had your car.

You take out your phone to call Catherine to get your car back when you see you have a message from Catherine telling you, she used your car to go to a crime scene and she would bring it back as soon as she could, you just roll your eyes before looking out the window to check what the wreathe was outside, the sun was out so it was nice enough to walk to the dinner, it takes you around twenty minutes to walk to the diner, there is no one there you know as this isn't the diner all the cops go to, you never come here so it's a nice change for you, you order some banana pancake and a coffee.

You read today paper as you eat your pancake's, you are halfway through your pancakes when you hear a woman screaming coming from outside, you get up and order everyone to stay inside the diner as you hold up your badge, you also order the waitress to call 911 as you ran outside holding your gun.

You see a woman with a look of horror on her face, you put your gun away and slowly approach the woman as not to scare her "are you alright?" you ask her as you show her your badge, the woman doesn't say anything to you, she just slowly lefts her arm and points, you cannot see what she is pointing at as there is a dumpster in your way, you move towards her and you know you're about to see something horrible by the look on her face and you was right.

You see a body of a woman, so you turn your gaze to the woman next to you and tell her to wait in the diner and someone will be in to take her statement, you watch her go before you secure the crime scene and wait for uniform officers as you had called Captain Brass and notefile him to the situation, unfortunately you cannot start processing the scene as you don't have your kit on you.

After fifteen minutes the coroner arrived at the crime scene, the victim right hand had been removed & a symbol cut into the victim forehead, the victim was a woman in her late 20s with black hair, you help the coroner anyway you can until Nick get there ten minutes later with a spare kit for you, you & Nick start processing the scene.

Seven hours later you are back at the lab going through all the evidence, after about an hour you are informed that the autopsy report is ready, so you make your way down to the morgue, you listen to the mortician give his report, he told you your victim had been killed by drowning as her lungs was filled with water, her hand had been removed post-mortem, you take a picture of the symbol, so you can run it through the date a base when you get no hits, you run it again through the nationwide date a base, you get a hit almost straight away, then another and another "oh this is bad, this is very bad" You say to yourself before calling the L.A & New York police departments as you transfer everything onto your work iPad before running towards Grissom office, you tell him what you have found & he calls Captain Brass, after an hour of deciding what your next step should been, you all agree it's time to call in the BAU FBI unit.

You are on the phone with the New York police department when Grissom walks in, wanting to talk to you, so you motion him to take a seat while you continue your phone conversation, you finish your conversation ten minutes later, you apologise to Grissom for making him wait, he tells you it's fine before informing you that you need to return to the crime scene as the FBI are on they've way & an Agent Emily Prentiss & an Agent Jennifer Jareau would meet you at the scene.
