We landed in Dallas and, once we arrived at the station we walked in and greeted their Chief.
"We are so glad you guys could come help." She told as she shook her hands with Hotch.
"Everyone this is chief Lance." Hotch told before continuing to introduce us. "This is Agent Rossi, Prentiss, Morgan, our communication liaison Jareau or Jj, and our two drs, Reid and Finley."
"Nice to meet you all. Especially good to see the one and only Finley again."
"You know about her?" Rossi asked
"Oh yeah. Her father went on and on about how gifted she was. She came in a few times and was able to work out who one of the criminals were in a bank robbery."
"It's nice seeing you again Kate." I told as I gave a small nod.
"But let's head to where you guys will be set up shall we."After we went over what we knew and what they also have discovered we were called to a new crime scene. I walked with Spencer and Morgan and began to become confused.
"What's got you looking confused baby?"
"It's very clean."
"Clean? There's blood all around them Dr.Finley." Spencer told as we walked closer to the victim.
I put my gloves on and and lift the hand gently from where it was.
"I mean clean like there is no dirt or anything under the nails."
Spencer came and crouched down next to me and look at the nails.
"Your correct. They look cut and cleaned."
"Could have used bleach to clean them." I suggested as I gently placed it back where it was.
"But none of the other victims have the same thing happened to them."
"Could it be that only this one fought the unsub and they were scratched?"
"It's possible."
"We could go over the other vics to see if any of them show any defensive wounds." I told
"That would be a good idea." He told as we both stood up.
'Why does this feel strange?'
After awhile I got a call and I excused myself to see who it was.
'Dasiy.'"Yes Daisy?"
"Well I was calling since I heard you picked up the phone from them the other day."
"I hung up telling them I was dying."
"Yes I did hear about that as well. You know it wasn't very helpful...."
"Helpful would be if they stopped calling."
"You agreed to answering questions."
"Yeah when I was 9 and suicidal. I am no longer both those things."
"Well, there's the other reason."
"Which I'm not and haven't. Look I gotta go, I'm on a new case."
"Oh yes of course. But please and I hate that I have to keep saying this to you, but pick up their call."
"You know I won't."I hung the phone up and turned around to see Spencer with a worried look.
"Are you ok?"
"Daisy. She seems to be calling me more then she used to. I don't know it's weird." I told before I gave him a reassuring smile.
"You sure your ok?"
"Yes I'm fine. No people to remind me of my suicidal years, no boy band where I dated one and where someone was jealous but wouldn't say. Nothing to make me think this isn't fine." I told
"Uh..... so this person has this mark on her." Someone told making me and Spencer give a confused look.
I rushed over and looked at it to see it matched the bruise of a needle injection.
'Maybe I should stop working cases. Being just a bookshop owner is so much more easier.'
Hotch told me, Spencer and Emily to go back to the station and work out what a common thing between them all was.
'This is a odd situation. If the unsub had been using needles to inject what ever they've been using to kill people why in such an open place?'
"Got anything Dr.Finley?" Spencer asked pulling me out of my thoughts.
"It's just very confusing. All the other vics had marks to show they were kept for days but this recent one doesn't. Why change how you kill people?"
"Could be devolving." Emily told
"But torture would be their sexual release. Why stop doing the one thing that gets you off?"
"Could it be that he had no choice." Spencer told
"That would explain the whole thing." I told making him smirk.
Someone walked in and looked over at me.
"Your dr.Finley yes?"
"Uh yeah."
"The chief wanted me to give you this." He told before he came in and placed the basket of things on the table.
"Thanks I guess."
He left the room and we all stood up to see what was in it.
'She really does remember me too well.'
"Why is there so many odd things?" Emily asked
"Because that's me for ya."
I turned to see the chief walk back in with Hotch and J and I quickly went over to them.
"What the hell Kate?!"
"Oh the accent is back a tad bit." She said once I was close
"Finley what's wrong?" Hotch asked
"Kate here had someone drop a basket off to me. I ain't here to reminisce on how I was as a child when I was last here Kate."
"I didn't send a basket for you?"
"Then what's the one that Reid and Prentiss are going through right now?"
"I wouldn't have a clue."
My eyes became wide and I quickly rushed back in there and slapped both their hands away from it.
"You could have just told us to stop." Spencer told as him and Emily began to rub their hands from when I slapped them.
"How have you handle two slaps from her?" Emily asked making us chuckle.
"I have no idea." He told
I quickly scanned everything to see an all too familiar note.
"Seems like my buddy from home is here with us as well." I told as I gently placed everything back in its place.
"What are you doing?" Hotch asked once they came into the room.
"Putting everything back in before giving it to you since this is all evidence to my situation back home."
"Situation?"
"Kate it ain't anything you gotta worry about."
"Oh it's such a sight for sore eyes hearing the southern accent you got when you were here last. Couldn't shake the darn thing could ya?"
"No I couldn't. And now my team knows." I whispered the last part as I handed the basket to Hotch.
'I hate this case already.'
