                SPENCER REID PUSHED BY THE CROWDS OF PEOPLE before pulling the tape up for Grace to slip underneath. Derek Morgan was still leaning over the body as Hotch was staring at the scene around them.

Why the local college campus, what was the religious symbolism here? "Grace, look at me." Spencer says, putting his hands on his sisters shoulders. "You don't have to this if you don't want too." He says and Grace nods. 

"I know, but Spence if this is someone I know - it's best that I identify them. Their parents deserve to know what happened to their child." Grace says, and Spencer nods before the corner looked at Spencer and he nodded. 

The male ME pulled the white tarp back, and Grace felt like she was going to be sick - there lying on the ground, her red hair matted and blue eyes wide open with fear and horror was her closest friend Alexis Green. 

Spencer noticed the sudden change in her body language, the tears in her eyes also showed that she knew the victim. He nodded towards the corner, but something caught Grace's eye. "Hold it," She says, holding her hand out for blue gloves. 

"Are you sure?" Spencer asks, tilting his head to the side and she nods. He hands her the gloves, silently looking at Morgan - telling him to move back and he did so but not without giving Spencer a worried and confused look. 

Once kneeling down beside the body, she pushed it lightly to the side - wincing when she saw blood pour out of her back wound before quickly grabbing a small piece of paper before pulling it out.

Once she opened the note, she was almost physically sick - she had a feeling she knew what this was about. She pushed it into Spencer's chest before heading towards the tape and pulling it over her head.

                                JASMINE SANTIAGO SLAMMED HER HAND DOWN ONTO THE TABLE and Grace rolled her eyes in annoyance, it wasn't the first time she had gotten this annoyed but when she saw what she had thought she had seen and what she had heard she lost her temper. 

"We really think this is because of him?" Jasmine questions, as tears rolls down her heartbroken best friend's face. "Look Grace, I know it hurts but we need to talk about it." Jasmine says, reaching over to clutch her hands in hers. 

Grace closes her eyes in pain, a single tear rolled down her face before she quickly wiped it away. "Fine, Alexis is dead - and your brother might be the cause of it." She says, harshly. "How do you think I'm feeling Jas?" She questions. 

"I'm so sorry," Jasmine says and Grace tried to give her a tight smile but failed to do so. "Grace, you're hurting - it's alright to be." Jas says, walking around the counter and tugging the younger Reid into her arms. 

Jasmine glared at the innocent wall, but in reality she wished it was her brother so she could just kill him herself. She hated that her own brother, had caused this much pain to her best friend but there was nothing she could do. 

He was in prison, and she knew this had to be a copycat - once again, digging at old wounds that were cut into her skin. "Jasmine, we need to tell Spence this - otherwise they are never going to get anywhere with their case." Grace encourages her friend. 

The raven haired Santiago ran her fingers through her hair, before turning to face the wall in annoyance, she knew what Grace was saying was right but why didn't she have the guts to tell the FBI about her brother? 

"Jas, they won't arrest you just because you are his sister." Grace says, soothing Jasmine's fears and Jas looks over at her before nodding. 

"Okay, we'll talk to them but that doesn't mean that this lead will go anywhere." Jas says, and Grace nodded before tugging Jas back into a tight hug - knowing how hard this was for her closest friend. 

If his vulgar behaviour years prior was anything to by years prior, god knows what they copycat would be like - or if it was even a copycat.
