"Elizabeth Anna Benson, you have 5 minutes to get down here so we can leave or I'm dragging you down!" Oh, man! I overslept, again! Rushing into the bathroom, I brush my teeth, lotion my face, and take off my durag. Running back into my room, I put on the clothes that I took out last night.

"Three minutes Anna" I throw on my socks and sling my bookbag on my back. I run down the stairs with my shoes in hand and head straight to the car. Seeing my mom and my younger brother, Noah, in the car already; I slip on my boots and put on my seat belt. "Here is your breakfast, made bagels" I send a thank you to my mom and eat on the way to the station.

My adoptive mother is Sergeant Olivia Benson. She rescued me when I was 4 with my uncle Finn. Before I was rescued, I was living with my crack filled mother and providing for my self. I am originally from Chicago, but I know nothing about my biological family seeing that my mom ran away to New York when she was pregnant with me.

I would love to find out who my family is, but I'm also scared they would reject me. It's been me, mom, and Noah against the world for a few years now. Noah and I are homeschooled since it's the safest thing for us seeing that I have gotten kidnapped before from school, don't ask.

Getting to the station, I see more people than we usually see here. These people look like they aren't from around here. The first guy I see has pretty blue eyes and freckles(Jay Halstead), there is a woman with brown hair and a mole beside her top lip(Lindsay), There was a man wearing some type of hat with salt and pepper hair (Olinsky), and a tall man with a full beard(Kevin), and a man with an ugly tan, in my opinion, (Ruszek), and an older man, who looks like he as no patience(Hank)

Mom tells me and Noah to head into her office and set up for our online classes. I walk by the new people and keep my head down. I don't need any reason to give them a reason to ask questions about Noah and myself. Mom added a backroom to her office so that Noah and I can be close to her, but not in her way. Setting up for the both of us, I get out Noah's headphones and he does what he needs to.

We aren't bad kids. We do what mom tells us to and never ask questions. It's a blessing that she even wanted to take us in. I never cause a problem for her cause she took me in out of the goodness of her heart, and I left a good impression on her when we first met.

Lunchtime rolls around and I am getting hangry. This is a daily thing with me so uncle Finn usually has our lunch here early. I always pack snacks for Noah and me, but I gave them all to him cause they were his favorite. Walking out of the added room, I hear arguing from the main room. Me being the nosy person I am, I walk out there and listen in.

"This guy has killed 15 women in a week! Who knows how many he has right now!" The older man's face is all red and he is definitely agitated. Spending all those summers with the BAU is paying off.

I walk over to uncle Finns' desk and call the pizza place. "Hey Tony, I need to place an immediate order.....Yeah, 20 pizzas in total, one pineapple, 3 sausages, 2 cheese, and the rest can be pepperoni......Yeah, uncle Barba is paying.......yeah I know, we don't need to pay....then just scare him into thinking that he has to pay.....yes, I am very hangry. See you when you get here Tony, bye" I hang up the phone and call one more place.

Before I can finish dialing, Dr. Huang comes up to me and give me a look I know too well. "What? I was just going to call and get some snacks?" He shakes his head and laughs at me "I got you and Noah's back up right here" I thank him and head back to get Noah, we go to the restroom and head back to our room.

In our room, there is a queen bed, a toy chest, 2 iPads. And anything else we wanted to keep us entertained if mom had to pull an all-nighter. I hear Tony coming through the doors. I tell Noah I will be right back. I speed out and grab my small personal pan pineapple pizza and Noah's small personal pan cheese pizza.

I make a quick B-line back to the room. Almost successful until I see Uncle Barba. I do a full 180 and take the long way around. Passing the detectives from another jurisdiction, I told them quickly that pizza was ordered and they can help themselves.

"Elizabeth Anna Benson, you get back here!" Laughing at the attorney, I reply "Noah needs me, gotta go!" I safely make it back to the room and eat with Noah; making sure he does not choke while he is eating. That is my worst nightmare. Noah takes his nap and I take our trash out to the front.

I travel over to the board that has all the evidence so far on it. Spotting my mom, I decided to tell her what I thought.

"This isn't a man mom, this is a woman. This looks like that Arson cause Uncle Hotch trained me on. She is a copycat. See the marks on your victims' necks, she wants you to think that she is strangling them, but she is actually cutting off their circulation with what appears to be some type of wire."

Finishing up, I look back to see that everyone from the other station is in awe. Everyone else is used to me coming in on cases by now. I look at my mom "Anything else you can tell us Elizabeth?"

I turn around and study the pictures even more "I feel like telling you guys statistics, but that is Reid's Job" I let out a small laugh. "Okay I got one more thing to say, This woman has a history in both New York.... and, excuse me, where are guys from?" The guy with the cute eyes laughs and responds "Chicago" Then it all clicks.

"Okay, thank you, it all makes sense to me now. There was a killer a few decades ago that used to do this same style of killing. It became a style that caught on in Chicago and many others started to do it as well. It was hard to tell the difference between who has the actual killers. I'm guessing that this female killer has studied the craft or has some type of connection with the original Killer. This woman is in her late 30s. Divorced, and if she has kids, she doesn't have custody. She is most likely the middle child or the youngest child. She had a rough childhood and was always picked on by friends and family. My guess is that she may have killed her family first." Shrugging my shoulders, I turn back to see everyone.

"Okay, no more trips to the BAU for you" my mom jokes. I laugh and think about how proud my BAU family would be. "Anna, I want to introduce you to Sergeant Hank Voight, his detectives Jay Halstead, Erin Lindsay, Al Olinsky, Adam Ruzek, Kevin Atwater, and Antonio Dawson," I tell them all hello and excuse myself back to the room.

I see that Noah is still sleeping. I call up My pals at the BAU and tell them how good I did. They were so proud of me and can't wait to see me the following summer. A knock comes on the door and I see Sergeant Voight at the door. What did I do now?
