+Spencer Reid X OC

A weary detective strides into the dimly lit bar, his sharp eyes scanning the faces of the patrons for any sign of a clue. A series of brutal murders have shaken the already sketchy neighborhood, all targeting women of a certain profession. The atmosphere is tense and uneasy, with whispers and sidelong glances following the detective's every move. But he knows that this bar, The Salden, might hold the key to solving the case. As he approaches the bartender, he senses something different about her - a spark of intelligence and strength behind her bubbly expression. She is the heart and soul of this establishment, and perhaps she holds the answers he seeks. With a quiet determination, the detective begins to piece together the puzzle, knowing that this encounter may be the breakthrough he needs to catch the crazed killer on the loose.
