Delilah walked down the hill about twenty minutes later once Colin and Nora were safely out of the way, hood pulled up and a cigarette between her lips. Her eyes darted around the quiet street, landing on the bench that her visitor was sat on. Delilah walked over, sitting on the bench and holding out her cigarette silently.

She took it, taking a long drag before handing it back to Delilah.

"You didn't call me until now," Delilah said. "You knew I wouldn't find you."

"You could've. You didn't look."

"Would you have wanted me to?"

"No. I wouldn't."

"How did you keep tabs on me if there's been no breaches in the FBI security?"

"You might be incredibly careful about hiding who you are, Lilah, but I'm afraid the rest of the team isn't as smart as you when it comes to that. Morgan posted a photograph of him and Garcia in a bar, and your bag was on the table. I recognised your ring in another photo Garcia posted. And, then, of course, Haley's Facebook statuses after Jack has had a day with his aunt Lilah or aunt Liv."

"You sound like a stalker," Delilah laughed, handing the last of her cigarette over. "Doesn't explain how you found me here."

"You drove past me last night on the highway when there was that big traffic jam. I turned around and came back."

"What were you doing here in the first place? There's literally nothing interesting about this town."

"I think a prolific child molester turned serial killer is an interesting thing about this town."

Delilah sighed heavily, turning her head to look at the person sitting beside her.

Elle Greenaway stared back at her, a sad smile on her face.

"If it's any consolation, I found everything out by accident," Elle said. "And I don't think I have all the facts right."

Delilah nodded slowly, shoving her hands in her pockets and standing up.
