Tear In My Heart

Chapter Four

*Sarah's POV*

I wake with Spencer's face standing over me whilst he's shaking my arm. I groan. I have a headache.
"I've got something." He says.
"Great. How long have I been asleep?"
"38 minutes." He blushes. I chuckle lightly and jump off the couch.
"What have you got then, genius boy?"
"Erm. I've constructed a geographical profile and he does have a pretty close comfort zone. He will most likely live within this zone so that will make him easier to track down." He explains, pointing to the circle he's drawn on the map and then picks up his phone to speak to Garcia and tells her the new information.

Hotch and Rossi arrive shortly after Spencer and Garcia's phone call, from the morgue. Eventually the rest of the team come back to the PD.

"Okay, so this girl and the previous girl were both shy, respected and kind people and they both have quite similar physical characteristics." Hotch says as the team gather around the circular table. "So, that means that these girls already know the UnSub, otherwise they would've never gone home with him." He continues.
"We thought the same." I chip in and point to be myself and Spencer. Derek glares at me jealously. He clearly doesn't like the idea of Spencer and I spending time together.
"I think we're just about ready to deliver the profile." Says Hotch, distracting me from Derek's penetrating gaze.

We collect everyone into the main room of the police station ready to deliver the profile.

"We're looking for a white male in his early twenty's who is most likely a student at the university." Hotch explains to the cops who are hurriedly scratching down the main points into their little black notebooks.
"He is mature, sociable and attractive. His maturity is shown in his work. Limbs are cut very precisely so he may be a biology student or any other science student so he knows his way around a body." Derek takes over.
JJ then continues. "This man is extremely dangerous so I will be holding a press conference later in the day to share this profile to the public so they can keep an eye out for people with similarities to the profile. Thank you." JJ says with a nod at the end to signal she has finished and the cops separate.

*Four Days Later*

We caught the UnSub just in the knick of time before he killed another.

"You okay, honey?" whispers Derek hotly in my ear, kisses my neck and wraps his arms around my waist. Making me moan ever so quietly. "You tell me" I say flirtatiously. "I'm not sure, sometimes you are difficult to analyse. I can just tell something's up." "Okay, don't freak out." "I won't" he says reassuringly. I take a deep breath. "I just think I need to focus on work right now. Work is difficult and I need to wrap my head around everything. I'm not saying I want to stop seeing you for good, just maybe take a break?" His face falls with sadness. "Erm, y-yeah, if it's what you need to do. Of course. It's a hard job, I get it." He then walks off sulkily, looks really upset and slams the door behind him.

I can't help but feel guilty, but I need to gather my thoughts. I thought I almost loved Derek before this job but now I like Spencer... a lot, and this job is too stressful for a relationship right now.
