[chapter three]
bare chest
---

I woke up the next morning to an empty room. I yawned and got up from the bed. I quickly threw my hair into a ponytail, just in case it was a mess. I checked my phone, seeing 2 messages from Anna.

From; Anna-Banana
how's the case so far?

From; Anna-Banana
made it to school.

To; Anna-Banana
It's... okay. I think we're close to closing it.
Okay thank you for letting me know. Call me after school.

I heard a reply almost a minute later, confirming that she would call me after school. I quickly got up, going to my go-bag. I picked out a pair of jeans, a dark blue button up and some mix matched socks. I went to the bathroom to change.

I finished buttoning the last button, leaving the first two open, when I saw Derek's bare chest, facing right at me. My mouth quickly dropped open and I was quick to close it with my hand and then looked down.

"Like what you see?" I looked up and saw him smirking.

"Um... no. I'm not into muscle heads." He laughs.

"Whatever you say, Arden. Also," he came up to me and whispered in my ear, "You look good in black lace." I quickly looked down in embarrassment and saw that my black, lace underwear was on full show.

"Shit." I mumbled. I grabbed my bag and walked out with Morgan.

I could feel his eyes on me.

"Yes?" I met his gaze and he just chuckled. "What?" I smiled like I knew what was funny.

"Just didn't think someone so nice could wear such things."

"Hey! I'll have you know that I can be very mean."

"Whatever you say." He said for the second time.

"You're irritating."

"So I've been told." He confirms.

I sighed as I looked at the board. 6 women had been murdered.

"Hm..."

"Something's brewin' in that brain of yours." I heard Derek's voice from behind me.

"Shh." I brought my finger up to my lips and he put his hands up in defense.

What if the unsub was a women, who visited all 3 places the same day? Or it could be a man... but we still don't know for sure.

"Question." I ask the team. "How good is Garcia?"

"Call and find out." Rossi hands me his phone and I immediately call her.

"The queen is speaking."

"Hey Garcia, its Parker."

"Oh yay! What've you got for me?"

"Can you see how many women or men visited the hair salon, the grocery store, or the library? On the same day that each of the women were found?"
