"Who the hell are you people?" Mason demands to know.

"Are you Mason Turner?" you ask again.

"Dr. Turner."

Will takes out a picture of his sister and shows it to Mason.

"This is my sister, Lee Hightower. Has she been here?"

"Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?"

"Hotch," you whisper, "there's another unsub here."

"We're with the FBI. We've been invited by the RCMP to assist in an ongoing investigation," Hotch says.

"You haven't been invited into my home. My Canadian home. Now get the hell out before I call the proper authorities."

"Sir, we've been invited by the proper authorities."

"I want you out of my home. You don't have any right to be here!"

"Agent Rossi, Agent Hotchner, may I have a word with you, please?" Jeff asks and takes them to another room. You quickly follow them in a panic. "You said this would be the unsub."

"Everything points to him, Jeff."

"No, there's another unsub. Hotch, I feel so much Death that I think one of us is next. Something is going on here, but Mason didn't lay a hand on any of the victims. His partner did."

"Look, I let a suspect who tried to kill my border agents out of jail, a man who actually confessed to the crimes we're investigating because I believed you. You were wrong. There is no evidence there is a partner. Here's what's going to happen. I'm taking my prisoner back to the station, and you can all go home. Excuse me."

You need to get out of this house. You leave immediately and join Derek and Emily outside. There is a pig pen with a bunch of oinking pigs roaming around inside. You stop short in front of them with eyes wide as saucers filled with fear. Your stomach hurts enough for you to double over in pain.

"Y/N? What's going on?" Emily asks and walks over to you. "Are you okay?"

"No one is listening to me. There is so much death here... so many victims. Oh, God... The pigs... the pigs are eating the victims." You look away from the pig pen and notice over two dozen people standing next to a large wooden box that's on the outside of the barn. They're all staring at you without saying a word. "That box over there. What's inside of it?"

You gently push Emily off you and walk over to the box while staring at the two dozen people. One of them, you notice is Lee Hightower. You lower your head for a moment of silence for her. She's dead and she's never gonna see her brother or mother again. You take the end of your flashlight and lift the top up to see what's inside, and all twenty-four people mist away knowing they're gonna get justice.

"Oh, no," you gasp and cover your mouth. "Guys, I think we might be wrong about how many victims we have here." Derek and Emily walk over and peer inside. Over a hundred pairs of shoes are inside the box. "I think I'm gonna be sick."

Hotch and Rossi walk out of the house, and you immediately jog over to them.

"Hotch, there's a box next to the pigs like a garbage bin or something. It's full of nothing but bloody shoes of all different sizes both male and female. We're not looking at ten missing people, we're looking at over a hundred."

Hotch orders JJ to stay inside with Will while Jeff, Rossi, and Hotch follow you back over to where Derek and Emily are.

"Did these belong to victims?" Jeff asks.

"Possibly."

"Why just the shoes? Where are the bodies?"

"You're not gonna find any bodies," you say.
