𝐉𝐉 and Callie leave Garcia's hospital room and reunite with the others.
"What did she say?" Spencer asks looking between the two.
"She made us promise not to talk about her like a victim." JJ says as everyone looks back sadly.
"I don't blame her for making us promise not to" Callie says sighing.
Meanwhile with Hotch and Rossi they get to the scene and start thinking aloud.
"So, victimology. Why Garcia?" Hotch asks as they walk back to the car
"Look at her." Rossi says simply and Hotch furrows his brows
"What are you saying?"
"Well, you don't look like that by accident. She wears her individuality like a shield." Rossi explains
"Leading someone to be antagonistic?" Hotch asks facing the Italian man.
"She stands out. Single woman. Could be someone was watching her for a while." Rossi quips
"A sadist who gets off on gaining her trust and then trying to kill her?" Hotch questions
"Pretty common. Kemper, Bundy, Robert Anderson. They all had an element of it," Rossi explains before trailing off slightly
"What's bugging you?" Hotch asks
"A sadist who just happens to choose an analyst for the FBI?" Rossi questions as they get into the SUV and back to the hospital.
"How come you and Callie went off before me and Prentiss got there?" Rossi asks looking at his old friend with his signature smirk.
"She was upset about Garcia. That was all" Hotch says simply and plainly but Rossi didn't believe him.
"You two should just stop dancing around each other when it's clear you might have possible feelings for her you know." Rossi points out crossing his arms as Hotch keeps an eye on the road.
"I'm still married remember? And it's not that simple Dave" Hotch says shrugging
"So you do admit you might have possible feelings for ms Calliope Sanchez?" Rossi asks raising a brow. - - ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ - -
𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐡 and Rossi walk into the round table room to see Callie, Emily and JJ, both female agents looking exhausted but they keep going determined to find who did this.
"That was the police. They took the sketch back to the coffee shop, the restaurant, came up empty." JJ explains.
"I ran it through VICAP. Absolutely no hits." Callie sighs taking a sip of her 3rd vanilla coffee today.
