crime murder mystery

Canyon Creek is a small town with a grand whoppin' population of 426 and sits about an hour and a half northeast of the capital city.  It's settled in the southwestern part of the US; it's certainly not the prime place for murder to happen, not when everyone knows everyone!  Yet, when the people of the small-town start discovering body parts in the canyon that runs behind their town, they can't make heads or tails of it.  
No one around those parts was the murdering type and the small-town sheriff knows this goes beyond his limited expertise and they are forced to place a call to higher-up powers.  The case file is handed off to the capable hands of Hank and Sam, but Hank is keeping a secret from his partner, and it might actually cause them unfound problems with this new case.  To make matters worse with these small-town murders, there's no logic behind the murders; these body parts don't belong to anyone in town!  Add in blasts from the pasts who are breathing down their necks and The Canyon Creek murders might just be their toughest case yet!All Rights Reserved

Star Gift by Califia

What explosive discoveries were made by an eccentric desert collector who chose to hide his phenomenal secrets for over thirty years? Blake Henderson inherited more than just a key to a remote storage garage in Farmington, New Mexico. When his estranged and recluse father died, few useless belongings were handed down to him. But none were so mysterious as the contents of sealed wooden boxes and a series of intriguing notebooks-all seemingly forgotten and under lock and key for decades. The Pueblo Native Americans of Chaco Canyon, NM, had a massive and advanced civilization long before the Spanish invaded their ancestral lands in the 16th century. But why did these indigenous people inexplicably disappear? And How? What relationship did these and other Southwestern indigenous cultures have with the "star people" as they refer to them in their esoteric traditions? What event gave them cause to relocate from their advanced engineered living complexes on the desert floor to more safe dwellings under the monolithic cliffs at Mesa Verde in Colorado, out of sight from the heavens? And then vanish completely? Coming into the area from California on his Spring Break, Blake thought he would only be verifying his abandoned father's pointless absence from his life since birth. What he found following in the wake of his murder, threatened to shake what is known about our singular existence in the universe . . .

In the evenings he balances arguing with his wife with making silly voices for his infant son's cuddly toys. By night he sleeps alone in the spare room next to the wardrobe with the broken hinges while he wonders if the garage door will ever actually fix itself. Meanwhile, Lisa Curly works in a library in the most deserted fishing town in Scotland. The man she shares her life with spends more time on his boat than with her and the last time he touched her, the internet was still using dial-up connection. A few houses down the street her mother is dying of something that is most likely cancer, but the old girl refuses to get it diagnosed. Rob and Lisa lost contact after leaving secondary school at sixteen, but, courtesy of the internet, found each other again and, more importantly, have been able to locate online those eight pupils who tormented them the most during their younger years. With five dead and only three to go, Rob and Lisa's murderous revenge is nearly coming to an end. However, when the improbably-named Detective Peter Piccolo moves into the house next to Rob, something definitely appears amiss. Is this the most surreal police sting ever contrived, or is it just an enormous coincidence for Rob and Lisa?

Either way, the brooding copper is a massive spanner in their works and something will have to be done if Rob and Lisa are going to literally lay the pasts to rest and move on with their lives.

I See You by January616

Hey there folks, I'm Cody Phillips, welcome to New Orleans. N'awlins is known for many wonderful things, our coffee, music and the ability to throw a damn fine party. We're also known as the city most people believe may be one of the most haunted places in the world. Well, let me tell you this, we have more than our fair share. I know because I can see them. But, listen, don't spread that around. Yeah? It's been a closely guarded family secret my whole life. Not even my best friend knows this about me. See, I use my 'gift' in my work as a homicide detective with NOLA's finest boys in blue. Now, I understand why you might call it cheating, and that's fine. But I always catch the bad guy with the victim telling me everything I need to know and give the family involved closer. So it evens out as far as I can tell. Now just as my life is moving slower than a gator with a full belly, the worst happens. I get the call about a homicide that's hit too close to home. It leaves the girl of my dreams coming home to face tragedy. The moment I see her I find myself reminded of the one secret no one ever knew. Ever since I was eight years old I have felt many different things for Emma O'Neal, and those feelings haven't disappeared with time. Problem is now that she's come home; I find myself fighting not only an unknown assailant out for blood, my partner's misguided beliefs but my own need for the enticing beauty I'm duty sworn to protect. Damn, I just hope I'm able to fight the feelings I have for this woman, and stay focused on the case. Otherwise, I might end up losing something far more precious to me than the honor I've worked so hard for: Emma's life.

The thing disturbing to most of the team is the fact all the victims look similiar to someone they know. Hotch orders Reid to stay at the station because he's worried about te doctor. The unsub is one of the most difficult ones the team had to deal with so far, so after the team, excluding the young doctor, and most of the officers leave to arrest possible suspect, they find it was a fake call, they come back to devasted place, the officers that stayed behind all lying on the floor, not remembering anything that has happened since their colegues left, and of course everyone's worst fear came true, the unsub got Reid. Later two other bodies are found, one female and one male, neither of them being able to get identified, until the unsub is caught, when getting asked about the FBI agent's wherabouts only replies with "Thought you would find him by now" while having satisfied smirk on his face. No one can tell wheter the unsub is bluffing or not, and as much as the team wishes he was, while discovering the unsub's hideout they find some of his victims alive, their worst fear being confirmed. They had lost the doctor... or did they? ____________ -this is my first fanfic, also English is my 2nd language, so excuse any mistakes and/or errors -I do not own the show 'Criminal Minds' nor the characters -also obvious trigger warnings for death, violence, swearing, maybe 'boy x boy' and 'girl x girl' relationships (even between the main characters and bcs I'm a multishipper idk which ones I want to include yet) probably alcohol or drugs as well (if anything else comes to mind, will add before mentioned in fanfiction)
