The whole thing has made Spencer almost bipolar. When he first met her "Oh Carter this and Oh Carter that and Did you know Carter blah blah blah blah blah blah blah." At first it was annoying, but after a while it made me happy to see him so happy. Then, after she was taken. Oh, it was like happy Spencer was ripped right out from under our feet. This whole thing is tearing him apart. Watching him being shredded to pieces was tearing us apart. Then there was Rossi. The state that both of them was in was heartwrenching. I was sitting alone in the briefing room staring at the corkboard with everything we could scavenge. It's weird seeing Spencer's girlfriend, a girl who I had teased and made fun of and even saw as a little sister, a happy face with honeyglow cheeks with a big red MISSING tag underneath. The whole thing seemed surreal. Finally I decided I couldn't handle the silence. I grabbed my stuff, and headed out to my car. Snow beat down from above, and I realized I was standing in at least a two feet of snow. Rare, for Virginia.

I fumbled with the switch for a bit before light flooded my apartment. Half-heartedly I threw my wallet and credentials on the front table. I collapsed on the couch from exhaustion then picked up the remote. I didn't really pay attention to news. Besides, it was all about Carter's case, and I knew everything about that, yet, I couldn't help my mind wandering. Carter was born in the Upper East Side in Manhattan. She lived there with a mom who worked as a wealthy surgeon. Her Dad was a physicist. Eventually her mom ran away with a wealthy man leaving a single note for an explanation, and her dad's bipolar morphed into bipolaric dissociative identity disorder, into a deranged step dad and caring father, which doesn't make a lot of sense really. Anyway both personas were neglitive, and the depressed one was denial and abusive. When she turned eighteen she fled to England. Why? I don't know. Maybe it was just this invisible force pulling her to London. Anyway, she met Mason, who she seldom talked about now, who at the time seemed like the love of her life. But crappy things happened and she moved back to Manhattan when she put her Dad in an insane asylum. Anyways, she decided it was time for a fresh start and that same invisible force brought her to England had sent her flying for Quantico. She worked at the Smithsonian and taught art classes part time. And then she met Spencer. I fell asleep to the updates of the corrupt world fading to a dim buzz in the background.
