New Girl(A Spencer Reid/Criminal Minds Fan-fiction) BOOK ONE

Chapter Twenty-Two: No Explanation Needed

        "With this unsub, we're looking at a compound profile: A type four delusional assassin, with an erotomanic fixation with the actress Lila Archer." Hotch told the police.

        'Erotomanic is a type of stalker, who posses the delusional belief that the victim, usually of a higher social status, is in love with them."

        'In the united states at any given time,  there are over two hundred thousand people being stalked. Our unsub is having a fantasy love affair with Lila Archer the way John Hinkly did with Jodie Foster."

        'Ms. Archer was not aware of her stalker until yesterday. He wasn't trying to impress her. He was more like an unwanted, very violent, guardian angel." Hotch explained.

        "When the stalker feels as if they've been in some way betrayed by their love object, This often leads to violence against the target."

        "In the case of John Robert Bardo, When actress Rebecca Schaeffer took a role where she had to have a sexual relationship with another character. It was enough to make him snap and seek her out to kill her."  Spencer told them.

        'Though stalkers can be either male or female, It's most likely we're looking for a single male, A loner, in his late twenties to early forties. Very intelligent, with ample time to follow his victim and study her habits."

        "As of yet, the unsub has not directed any violence towards Ms. Archer, but he has shifted his focus from those around her, to her directly." He's not the only one, evidently.

        "I'm intrigued by this particular version of the verb 'to be'." Gideon said.  We were in Lila's trailer, going over some things.

        "Past Participle."

        "Steady state of being. Preceding adverb."

        "Always." 

        "In English?" the Detective asked.

        'That is English, actually, we were discussing the verb tenses."

        "Um, Spencer. The stalker talks like it's someone she knows." I told him. He smiled.

        "Maybe it's time to get her off the street."  

        'You know, there's been no physical threat to her. She might be safe just staying put as opposed to anywhere else." 

        "You guys are aware that the subject of this conversation is in the room, right?" I asked. I turned to Lila. "If we had to remove you, it have to be somewhere non disclosed. Chances are, this unsub knows where you live." 

        'I'm not having the whole show close down. I only have one more scene to shoot." I nodded.I understood. "Look, last night, i decided I wasn't gonna be afraid of this lunatic. Am I safe here?"

        "Well, the set is clear of everyone except essential personnel, We also increased gate security." I turned to her again. "I think everything will be fine." 

        "So you understand?" She asked. I nodded. There was a knock at the trailer door.

        "Lila, they're ready for you."

        "I'm staying at work, gentlemen. I'm glad someone understands that." She left the trailer and shut the door. 

        "And that, my friends, is show business. Thank you very much." I bowed. 

        "Yeah, ok, Harper." Morgan said sarcastically. 

        "Morgan, you and Reid, stay here, keep an eye on her."
