NATALIA COULDN'T KEEP THE THOUGHT OF David lurking around her house. The fact he was looking for her freaked her out completely.

She stood next to Spencer as Gideon profiled the UnSub to the people around him. She leant against the wall, not really listening to the profiling even though she should be.

When they ended up catching the guy, he didn't look like he could kill people, he looked scrawny, not like he could torture and kill females. He may have looked psychotic, but he didn't look like a killer.

Natalia stepped outside, ignoring the cold night, "Hey, you okay?" Spencer's voice sounded from beside her, his hand on her lower back.

"Mhm. See when we get home... do you think I could stay with you for a bit?" Natalia asked, looking up at her friend.

Spencer smiled and nodded, "You know you're always welcome... but Nat, what's going on?"

"It's nothing, I just... need to get out the house for a bit." Natalia shrugged, tucking her hair behind her ears.

"Natalia, I'm just as smart as you are... no, smarter than you. I can tell when somethings wrong with you. So, what's wrong?" Spencer asked, lifting Natalia's chin so she's looking up at him.

"I have this... ex. Abusive, he's looking for me." Natalia spoke quickly, hoping that Spencer wouldn't understand her words.

"Natalia..." Spencer whispered, shock and sympathy on his face, "Why haven't you told me about this before?"

"I was scared, of this. The things he did. Besides, Hotch and JJ are the only ones that know." Natalia shrugged, hugging her body.

"You know you can tell me anything. I'll always be here for you, you know that." Spencer said, pulling the Spanish girl in for a hug, "Let's go upstairs and have a look up there, M'Kay?"

Natalia nodded, following Spencer upstairs to have a look around. When they got up to the attic it was messy but Spencer took notice to a Wei-Chi game board.

The two spent a little looking at it before Elle walked up and stood beside the two, "What kind of game is it?"

"In China it's called Wei-Chi. Here we call it Go." Spencer said, looking at the board, "It's considered to be the most difficult board game ever conceived."

"Chairman Mao required his generals to learn it." Gideon spoke from beside Hotch who were both stood the opposite side of the room.

"It also looks like he's playing himself." Natalia pointed out, tucking her hair behind her ears as she stared down at the board, Spencer's hand subtly fiddling with the back of her shirt.

"How can you tell?" Elle asked the Spanish girl, looking between her and the board confused.

Natalia spin the board, a soft clicking sound coming from it, "This might provide an advantage, actually. Go is considered to be a particularly psychologically revealing game. There are profiles for every player. The Conservative Point Counter, the Aggressor, the Finesser."

"What kind of player is Slessman?" Hotch asked as he and Gideon stepped closer to the smart ones.

Natalia leaned down to the board, inspecting it slightly before standing up straight again, "Extreme Aggressor."
