"Finally we're done with that case." Fleur groaned, sitting down on the desk.

"And you know what? We're all gonna go out and have a great time." Elijah pointed, stood behind Reid.

"Well actually, I rented a beach house for me and Flo. A weekend away." Morgan admitted.

"A beach house?" Elijah blinked,"Well, you better enjoy yourselves."

"Any plans for you two?" Emily asked, looking at Elijah and Reid.

"Well, I actually hadn't planned anything but I'm sure we could find something to do." Reid nodded.

"I'm sure I can as well." Elijah mumbled.

Fleur chuckled and kicked his seat.

"What was that for?" Elijah looked over at her.

"Oh nothing." She shrugged.

"Yeah, nothing." He nodded slowly.

"Well, I was going to go out. I got this dress last time I went shopping and I have to wear it someplace." Emily told them,"I was thinking Atlantic City."

"Of course." Fleur nodded while JJ walked in.

"Hey, have a good weekend, JJ." Emily smiled at her.

"Sorry." JJ held up a case file.

Morgan sighed,"There goes my beachside rental."

"And my non-refundable Sin to Win weekend in Atlantic City." Emily cursed.

"Sin to win?" He raised a brow.

"Yeah, and I always win big."

"I didn't have any plans." Reid shrugged.

"I did." Elijah sighed as he walked off.

"FBI?" An officer asked as the Agents arrived at the scene.

"Yes sir." Hotch nodded.

"Hi, John Barton, Talahassee P.D. I'm primary on the missing girl, Rebecca Daniels. I got my files in the car if you need them."

"I'm Agent Hotchner. This is Agent Rossi, Agent Prentiss, Dr Reid, Agent Morgan, Agent Deans, Agent Howards, Agent Jareau." Hotch introduced them.

"Yeah, we spoke on the phone." JJ nodded.

"Yeah, hey, thanks for coming out so quickly. I appreciate that." He shook her hand,"I've also confirmed that all the women are from the Southeast. Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama."

"And Rebecca's the only woman on the wall who's not represented on his body?" Hotch raised a brow.

"Yeah, she's the only one." Barton nodded as the approached the house,"I hope you've got a strong stomach."

Everyone walked in, covering their noses while they coughed. It smelled, well, like death.

"You're lucky." Fleur pointed at Elijah.

"Why? Does it smell bad?" He asked quietly.

"Horrible."

"You'll get used to it." Elijah patted her shoulder.

"The chair was turned like that? This is exactly how you found it?" Hotch asked.

"Yeah." Barton nodded.

"Talk about staging." Morgan looked around.

"Talk about ego." Fleur rolled her eyes.

"There's also a couples boxes with journals, composition books. They're filled with writing. We haven't been through them yet, other than to dust it for prints." Barton told them.
