Chapter I

"Riley Anderson, or as the media liked to call him, Ghost is a very dangerous criminal. He's deranged and delusional, yet highly intelligent; in fact he surpasses boarder line genius." Jayden stated while walking back and forth in front of Ash, Blake, and Perry to let them know all of his details about the man they were trying to catch. "He has sever anger issues towards anyone or thing that challenges him. He gets violent and irrational at simple off handed remarks, for example one of my colleagues wound up in the hospital for jokingly saying his work is child's play." Jayden said changing the picture on the overhead, the picture was of Riley smiling and talking to an agent. "When he was caught he confessed to the murders, but his reasons made no-"

"If you caught him don't you have a tape of his confession?" Blake asked, the man was leaning back boredly in his chair his eyes moved from the picture to Jayden who held a look on his face Blake hadn't seen before. Jayden was shocked at the question, he could remember the interrogation clear as day and he definitely didn't want anyone else to know what words were exchanged, especially Blake.

"Y-yes. We do have a tape of the interrogation, bu-"

"I think we should see it then, might as well get a feel for the guy we're hunting, Norman." Blake hissed the younger man's name, noting the slight glare in Jayden's eyes. Jayden hesitated then walked over to his ARI glasses picking them up and placing them on he went in search of the files of the interrogation, he'd just be sure to stop it when things got… out of hand. A small frown was on his face as he found the recorded document and pulled it up keeping the glasses on so he could quickly stop the tape when he needed to.

On the over head you could see Riley sitting in a chair in the interrogation room, whistling away like nothing was wrong. His head turned as the door opened and Jayden and another agent walked in. "Hiya Norman! Have fun at the crime scene? You knew her right? Bet'cha didn't know she seduced suspects into confessions." Riley said in a sing song voice with a laugh, Norman slammed a file down in front of Riley and pointed at the pictures.

"Look at this, Riley! You knew these people, so why'd you do it?" Jayden asked obvious anger and annoyance in his voice. Riley shifted and leaned forwards looking through the pictures.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Riley asked with a distant look on his face, Jayden sighed and rubbed his face before sitting down in the chair across from the blond man.

"What's that?"

"Do you know what Lye is, Norman?" Jayden sighed in annoyance from the man using his first name.

"It's a chemical." Jayden said in a sarcastic tone of voice, Riley slammed his hands on the table and stood up glaring down at Jayden.

"It's NOT JUST a chemical, Norman! Lye is a corrosive alkaline substance, commonly sodium hydroxide or historically potassium hydroxide. It's commercially manufactured using a membrane cell method. Solid sodium hydroxide or solutions containing high concentrations of sodium hydroxide may cause chemical burns, permanent injury or scarring, and blindness. And here's the best thing, it burns the victim's corpse beyond recognition and it gets rid of any finger prints that might be on the body. You can't stop it either, without counter acting it with vinegar of course. It's perfect! Just a chemical? That's like saying ARI is just glasses, hurts doesn't it." Jayden stayed silent at the man's outburst, replaying the man's words over Jayden shifted.

"This is the fourth time in captivity you've mentioned ARI."

"THAT is because it's a FUCKING joke, Norman. I see you and so many other FBI agents using it, I know what it's fucking for!" Riley yelled kicking the table not even caring that he was pulled forwards with it; Jayden had stood up to save himself from getting hit with the object.

"And what's it for, Riley." Jayden asked pushing deeper into the young genius' mind.

"DO NOT PLAY COY WITH ME, NORMAN! You know damn well what it's for, it's my replacement, it's all of our fucking replacements. What's the point of having detectives, officers and forensic scientists if YOU and those damn agents can just walk around with those god damn glasses and that GOD DAMN glove and find EVERYTHING you need to solve a case. It's showing how replaceable we little people are! Before ARI I saw you all the time, Norman, you always came in for my analysis for clues and now, now you don't need me… Slowly all the agents stopped needing me… I was shoved aside for your fucking glasses. Tell me Norman, is it worth it? With all the side effects, I mean." Riley said sitting back down as he looked over the pictures ignoring the fact Jayden seemed more shocked at the question then lost. "Tell me, how's Clay? I know that poor guy found out the effects of Lye the hard way." Riley said looking up at Jayden who held a calculating look on his face.

"You claim to only kill the 'Bad' cops, Clay has never stepped one foot out of line before."

"He did when he tried to stop me." Riley hissed remembering the events of when Jayden and Clay were chasing him. "Shame really, I bet he has a hard time going out in public, tell me… Did his wife leave him because of how badly he's scarred or is it some other reason? Either way she's a bitch for treating him like that. How's your cheek by the way?"

"You kill with an equation… Why?" Jayden asked evading the subject.

"To prove to him that I am NOT worthless!" Riley said staring darkly into Jayden's eyes. "Do you know what it's like? To be told you're worthless and stupid throughout your entire life?" He asked not allowing Jayden to answer as he continued. "Of course not, a guy like you was probably a spoiled little brat. I was trailer trash… No I was the TRASH of trailer trash. In fact I think I lived in one pair of clothes most of my child hood. I was a great child and a great student. I did all the chores; I even cleaned everything without being asked. I got all A's and I would help Mom carry that Bastard to his bed every time he passed out on the couch. But I was still a worthless dumb ass." Riley said glaring at Jayden, seething even. "Maybe now he'll understand." Riley said firmly before leaning back in the chair.

"So you've killed One Hundred people just to prove that you're smart?" Jayden asked, Riley looked at Jayden and smirked.

"Yeah, and it worked, it took you fucking years to find me. AND you wouldn't have found me without those FUCKING glasses, NORMAN! Why don't you be a real man and fucking break them, maybe then you'll stop getting sick! Do you think I don't know about your little problem, Norman? I see how you slip away from everyone just so you can take your fucking tri-"

"I found out that it was you because you messed up Riley! It has nothing to do with that!" Jayden said his entire form seemed to be shaking.

"Really, Norman? You might want to calm down. You're going to get yourself killed, not that I much care, I will miss that pretty face of yours… Speaking of which, why don't you show us your cheek? I want to see how my handy work is doing." Jayden stood up straight and paced for a second before turning his attention back to Riley, he'd decided to take Riley's advice to calm himself down.

"All these people are Cops, and Reporters. Your father was unemployed, the fact this is a way to get back at him doesn't fit. And you knew all these people, every single one of them!" Riley just continued smiling at him. "It doesn't fit nor does it make any sense, these people knew you were a genius! They knew, and yet you still killed them to prove you were smart, it all seems a little redundant, Riley." Jayden said looking to Riley then the cop in the room before he crossed his arms over his chest resting his chin in his hand with a calculating expression on his face. "I've tried to find ways in which this actually makes sense, so maybe you'd like to enlighten me. I mean after all you are the smart guy." He looked over to Riley and shifted uncomfortably from the man's gaze. "Damn it Riley, are you listening to me!"

Jayden stopped the tape and took the glasses off looking at the men in the room he slowly set the glasses down on the projector. "He stopped answering after that." Jayden said, it was a lie but he knew the three men in the room would never know about that.
