I don't own Criminal Minds

The poems written are my own

I lie alone as I rot away

No sunlit mornings to greet me at day

I am still awake but I'm not at peace

Only through salvation can I sleep

After the case in Dallas, Spencer has been uneasy. Morgan noticed this but nothing could comfort Spencer's mind from what he saw in that house or what Heather told him in the letter. He still kept it in a case on his desk at his apartment. He still can't forget the words or the chill he felt as he read each letter.

JJ called the team one morning. There was a new case in Georgia; the details will be given to them on the plane. On the jet, JJ told them that two bodies have been found in a cemetery not far from the town. They were burned repeatedly and finally their necks were snapped. The victims were Frank Villianson and William Breaksten. Both worked as handymen in the town. The locals noticed when they didn't show up for any of their appointments.

Spencer looked at the photos and felt as shiver down his spine. He didn't know why but he felt something was off about this case. He prayed that it was nothing.

AT THE CRIME SCENE

"The bodies were dumped side by side. The victims had their work clothes on but on their eyelids are black Xs. It appears to be black ink" said Hotch as he inspected the bodies.

"Why dump them in a cemetery" asked Prentiss.

"Maybe a sign that the unsub wanted to give, their dead and this is where they belong now" said Rossi.

Spencer was next to Morgan, silent but in deep thought. Morgan looked at him, "Reid…are you ok?"

"I'm fine; I just want to go back to the station."

The others stared at him concerned, "Reid, you've been acting weird since the case in Dallas. I know it shook you up but don't let it get to you. The case is closed and the killer is gone" said Hotch.

"I know" said Spencer with a sigh.

In the distance a small girl was watching them. She had on a black dress and was holding a toy doll. "The dead keep the dead" she whispered to herself.

Suddenly she noticed the tall man with long brown hair looking around as if he heard something.

"He can hear me" she thought. She vanished into the shadows.
