s*t*a*r*s/J*A*D*E*S

Jo lies on her stomach on the bed, she's reading the files over again, having thought the night had been a bust. Amy had come back to town and Jo had set up a meeting. In a very lavish hotel room, they had never been in a hotel room together before. Jo had really wanted to treat Amy to her "real date" rule, but before the main course had been served in the swanky restaurant downstairs, they had made it to their room, barely. Now, Amy was in the shower, singing.

She scratches her head. She desperately needs to find this killer before they strike again. She feels connected for some reason to this case; something about it vibrates in her soul. What was left of her soul at least.

The killer had been hop scotching around for almost three years. Different cities, different types of people – that wasn't true, they all had one thing in common. The women were all lesbians. The men all had lesbian sisters. Now he was striking couples. One partner was short haired the other blonde with long hair. All in LA, all over the last six months.

The killer had no cycle. No pattern.

Then there is Emma. Jo rests her head on the pillow and listens to Amy turning off the shower. Emma couldn't have a vision of anything at the crime scenes. It's as if her power are turned off completely when it came to this care. It infuriates her, and Jo.

She rolls over onto her back and stares up at the ceiling, tracing the edges of the room with her eyes, letting her thoughts drift. Her gaze drifts to nowhere in particular, and then to Amy who is just coming into the room. She closes her eyes for a moment, burning that image into her memory. It bleeds into the other memories she has of Amy, she is perfectly happy to be making new ones.

Amy is as still equally naked as Jo, her blonde hair dark with water. She gets on the bed and pushes Jo's hair from her face. "You have to stop thinking about this thing," says Amy.
