Unit Chief Emily Prentiss was finishing up another round of late night paperwork. All of a sudden, David Rossi burst in slamming the door—and giving the Unit Chief quite a fright. He didn't let Emily get a word in before he said, "There's been a prison break near Quantico. Five inmates have escaped, and one of them happens to be Mary Meadows."
"Are you kidding me?" Emily asked, exasperated.
Just then, Garcia burst in the door.
"There's been a murder of a prison guard—Steven Schwartz. And guess what? He had his hyoid bone removed. Sound familiar?" she asked in a curt tone.
"Okay, where's Spencer?" Emily demanded/
Just then, Spencer put his stuff on his desk and headed to Emily's office.
"Just got a note that said, "the Believers are bigger than you'll ever know," Spencer said, "I got it in my mailbox. I did a quick handwriting analysis. Turns out, the note is NOT written by Meadows."
"Then who?" Emily asked.
"That's the thing—I don't know!"
"Ok, then there must be another leader than we never profiled," Emily put her head down and sighed.
"I'll call Luke, Matt, and JJ," Rossi offered, "we need all hands on deck."
Prentiss called out for Anderson.
"Anderson, I need you to set up a protective detail for Agents Spencer Reid and Penelope Garcia."
Emily guided Garcia and Spencer to the FBI's saferoom—the one she stayed in when the hitmen group were after her.
"Garcia, you and Spencer will stay and work from in here. The rest of us will make finding Mary Meadows and the Believers our top priority. We will not rest until we do."
Garcia put her head on Spencer's shoulder and whimpered, "It's never going to be over, is it?"
