" Got everything?  " ; Will asked as we set up stuff needed for my class at the FBI Academy. 

I was supposed to teach candidates about the different kinds of criminals and about juvenile delinquency and the types of criminally insane disorders .

" Yep . A 20 slide presentation about criminals and their disorders and another 8 on juvenile delinquency " ; I said .

" Perfect . I will be at the back of the class if you need anything "

So social anxiety.  I hate it . And teaching a class of 20 students is nerve racking . I have to talk without stuttering or sweating or shaking and stand not too straight,  appear relaxed and not cry or have a panic attack .

" Will you take over for me ? "; I asked .

" I don't think Jack will be happy with that but if you need it , I will " ; Will replied .

I laughed .

" What ? " ; Will smiled .

" You said I will , and you are Will ! "

" If it makes it any better , some call me Graham - cracker "

I laughed aloud and Will joined in .

After 10 minutes the class filled in .

" Hello , I am Dr . Arabella Veers and I am here to teach you about .... Criminal disorders and juvenile delinquency.  And forgot ,the types of criminals  "

Will gave me a thumbs up .

" We will start off with the types of criminals first . Now , you may already know this but you have to learn it again because its in the syllabus . There are two kinds : organised and unorganised killers. 
Organised killers are killers who we call intelligent.  As in , they plan an attack , stalk a victim beforehand and then leave no evidence of themselves at the crime scenes,  hence, organised killers . They are easier to catch than unorganised killers .
Unorganised killers kill haphazardly,  and those attacks are called blitz attacks . These attacks are not planned , they tend to leave evidence behind and choose victims at random . Its not exactly choosing per say because most of the times these attacks are disorder based . The criminal may be seeing something that isn't there and attacks if they feel something is threatening them  "

" Any questions?  " ; I asked after my long speech .

" So won't the offender be schizophrenic if they are seeing things ? " ; a girl asked.

"10% of the times , yes . But other times , its a no . There are a lot of other disorders which can lead an unsub to blitz attack "

" What are the other disorders ?" ; another student asked .

" We will come back to that in a few minutes . So , I have a question.  How many of you have watched criminal minds ? "

A few raised their hands .

" Those few who did raise their hands will know about the disorders I am going to be talking "

I changed the slide .

" First disorder , pyromania . The need to set fires . Arsonists often suffer from this disorder . Fires set by these unsubs are likely to cause harm to others which would steer us towards an organised killer but if the fire was set just for fun , then it was an attack by an unorganised unsub.
Next , erotomania . Where an unsub is in love with of higher status than himself or herself and believes that the person they are in love with loves them back . Stalkers come under this category and that makes them an organised killer .
Next , folie a deux , a syndrome where the unsub imagines to see things which are not there.  Reality morphes with imagination through stories , myths . This disorder is hereditary and usually affects two close members of the family .
Next , Renfield's Syndrome or Clinical Vampirism . As the name suggest , the need or ability to drink human blood . They are not real vampires but are addicted to blood "

After an hour , the seminar was done . The students clapped for me as I smiled awkwardly.  As they started filing out , my hands and legs started shaking .

Will was immediately in front of me .

" Its okay , its okay . You did great . Everyone loved your presentation  . Its okay " ; he said taking my hands in his and rubbing them .

I breathed out a sigh as the shaking decreased .

" Better ? " ; he asked . I nodded .

" Hello Arabella " ; a voice said from behind us and I froze. 

The voice was something that I never wanted to hear .
