"We need to find Kira Tinsley. She either works for Red John, or she's about to become his next victim."
Patrick kneeled down to a dying Kira, pressing his hands against the wound. Kenzie froze. "We're CBI. Who did this to you?" Kira continued to gasp and choke on her own blood. "Tell me."
Kira weakly leaned up, whispering something into Patrick's ear. She drew three dots in a column on her shoulder. She slumped back to the ground.
As police rushed in, Kenzie grabbed Patrick's hand and guided him outside.
"What did she say?" Kenzie asked shakingly.
"She told me Red John has a tattoo on his left shoulder. Three dots. That's our leverage. We got him."

"Agent Patterson, we were told to call your team about this," said the officer. "We've found at least eight bodies in different places around the property."
"They were her patients. She groomed her patients and then killed them."
–
"In recent news, eight bodies have been found outside of a psychologist's residence. According to the California Bureau of Investigation, Dr. Evelyn Micheals has been on the run after the kidnapping of her former patient and CBI's own Agent Mackenzie Patterson.
"Patterson's father, Dennis Patterson, was the victim of an unsolved murder back in the 80s. The CBI thinks that Dr. Micheals is connected to the infamous serial killer, Red John. Any information on both of them, please call the local authorities or the crime stoppers headline."

Kenzie groaned as the phone continued ringing. She glanced between the phone and the road, trying not to hit anyone.
"Hello, Kenzie," said Patrick.
"Patrick, don't do this, not without me," Kenzie pleaded.
"Listen, I'm sorry."
"Patrick, I'm begging you. You're in danger!"
"I-it's gonna be okay. I-I'm gonna be okay."
"You promised me that we would do this together! Patrick–"
"Bye, Kenz."
"Patrick... no."
She gasped as the phone hung up. Pressing the gas, Kenzie sped up the road and gripped the steering wheel, hoping that she wasn't too late.
TWO DAYS AGO: TUESDAY
The team and Nicole all stood in Patrick's loft, surrounding the board.
"A tattoo?" Teresa asked.
"Yes," Patrick answered.
"That we can use to identify Red John?"
"Yes."
"That's great. So all we have to do is check each one of the suspects one by one until we find out who has the tattoo."
"No," said Kenzie and Patrick at the same time.
"Why not?"
"Red John doesn't know that we know about the tattoo," said Kenzie.
"Okay?"
Kenzie sighed. "So if we start checking suspects, it's very likely that Red John will find out."
