It has been a couple of days since we came to Louisiana, and the truth is that we haven't made any significant progress on the case. From the latest victim we were able to tell that our unsub was in and out quicker and more discreetly than usual -which means that she probably had practice in the last 10 years, we just didn't notice.
The phone in the conference room starts ringing. "You're on speaker, babygirl" Morgan announces as he picks up
"So, I finished combing through VICAP for cases in New Orleans and the surrounding states, and I have found 5 more murders with similar MO's" she reveals.
"Times and locations, Garcia" I request
"A year after the murders in Louisiana Dallas, Texas. 2 years later Memphis, Tennessee. 6 months later Huntsville, Alabama. 5 years later Houston, Texas. 2 more years later Jackson, Mississippi" she explains
"It sounds like Louisiana's Black Widow has been around" Dave points out
"Garcia, send us the five cases you have and expand your research to all states"
"Already sent. Also, I found Matthew Wade's sister. She lives in DC and agreed to come in and talk to you" she mentions
"Good. I'll call her for an interview when we're back to the bureau" I say
"We're leaving?" JJ asks
"It seems like she doesn't stay in one state for too long anymore. She has learned how to cover her tracks. So I'm positive she is from Louisiana but she won't kill another one here for now" I explain.
Everyone agrees.
That same afternoon, we flew back to Quantico and I sent everyone home for the night. I went home too and spend the night preparing some questions for Ms. Wade, the first victim's sister. JJ couldn't find her in Louisiana, but luckily Garcia located her quickly in DC.

The following morning I got to the bureau earlier than usual. But I spotted an unfamiliar face in the bullpen.
"Can I help you?" I wonder
"Yes. I have a meeting with Agent Hotchner" she replies
"I'm Agent Hotchner. You must be Ms. Wade?" I assume
"Yes. Just Sofia, please" she replies as we shake hands.
Her eyes are fixated on me. The sunlight makes the blue in her eyes so bright. Her straight black hair falls softly by the sides of her face and makes her eyes look even brighter. A shadow of dimples casts her rosey cheeks as she smiles politely. And her--
Fuck, I really need to have sex.
I am the one to break eye contact. "Please, come this way" I lead her to my office, and suddenly I am missing the warmth of her hand against mine.
"Take a seat. Would you like something to drink? Coffee? Water?" I offer
"No, thank you" she answers as we sit on opposite sides of my desk. "I'm sorry I got here a little early"
"No problem. Thank you for coming in such a short notice" I say
"I had a client cancel this morning, so I had an opening in my schedule" she chuckles
"You work at...?"
"I am a make-up artist" she answers
"For a company or by yourself?"
"I am mostly independent. I work wedding, events, everyday glam, anything"
"I see. How did you decide to get in that industry?".
