Brine's POV

"We've got another victim gang." JJ said dropping another file of pictures on the desk. I didn't even move as I sipped my coffee. Reid and I had been here all night looking this over while trying to cities out how these two victims were related. But found nothing. Apparently without the help of Garcia not even 2 geniuses could find a murderer.

"Hey kid?" I looked up to see Morgan. "Did you two even sleep?" Morgan asked us, Reid and I looked around the room. Reid shook his head. With this much coffee and lack of sleep I could barely speak and I hadn't all night. Reid and I hadn't spoke. I did my thing. He did his. Maybe it was because we were both tired or even too shy to say anything.

"We were- um- trying too-"

"To find out who it was, but we can't even confirm that it's a girl." A girl who was injecting men with something so she could get control over them. I growled and tossed my binder down. I clenched my hands and ran my hands over my face. I let out a deep sigh. I felt like a failure. I had failed this team and now I had failed my parents from beyond the grave.

"It's not your fault." Morgan said. I closed my eyes while he leaned on the back of my chair. I snapped away from him. I hadn't that he was touching me. I hadn't eve known him two days and he was trying to comfort me.

"Maybe I'm just not cut out to do this." I growled to myself with my hands gripping my own arms. I could tell that they were trying to figure me out. "Stop profiling me. I just need to-"

"Here." Reid said sliding coffee to me. I shook my head. "Carder-"

"Reid I don't think she wants pure sugar." Morgan joked placing a hand on my shoulder. I then broke into a small smile. I then pushed my body off the chair, Morgan moved back quickly as I began pacing.

"Reid and I have been here all night trying to figure this out and I can't- I can't do it." I continued. My hands running down my face and up my arms. Then I paused looking at the pictures again. I walked to the board. Looking at only the first man. "How long was this body found after presumed dead?" I asked to anyone in the room who was listening.

"According to autopsy they found the body four hours after death." I then nodded. "What is it?" Reid asked me as he stood next to me. His arms crossed and his torso jetted back, all his weight in his hips.

"The print would still be there, should still be there if it was only that long after." I said shaking my head. My arms then crossed. I stared at each of the pictures. The necks.

"Are you say between victims she got her nails done?" Rossi suddenly said and I nodded. My eyes flashing between the necks. Of all three actually. "Or we have two unsubs." He suggested and I shook my head.

"No, I don't think so." I pressed my lips. "The fingers prints are the same size. Do you know how rare that is?" I asked and they all looked at me like I was nuts.

"Every 4,367 people have the same size fingers, it would be odd to find even 2 people in the same small town like this with the same size fingers." Reid finished for me, I broke into a small grin.

"So your saying that its impossible for there to be two unsubs?" Hotch asked us, Reid and I both shook our heads. Our arms crossed. I then noticed that we both looked almost the same. So I pulled my arms from where they were crossed to my pockets.

"Just highly unlikely." Reid continued as I took a seat. I was wide awake now. Pacing around. Maybe I had figured it out. I was then bitting the inside of my cheek. Trying to make sure it didn't look like a nervous tick.

"I'll have Garcia to look up all the records for the nearest nail place to the murders." Morgan said and nodded. He then left the room as he pulled the phone from his pocket as the door closed behind him.

"You two-" Hotch pointed at Reid and I, "Sleep." He continued before leaving the room. I only glanced over at Reid.

"I'm not sleeping until this is over." I said to Reid, he then broke into a grin. "Coffee?" I asked him, he only gave me a nod.
