Hey guys sorry that this went up at like 11:50 but we didn't get 'er edited till late do to another family emergency. Austin is back from Tennessee but now unfortunately my Grandmother and Great Uncle are both in the hospital and I've spent the past couple days back and forth from one hospital to home. I'm doing my best to keep it from affecting my schedule but sometimes shit happens and it's nobody's fault.
Anyway I hope everyone enjoys chapter three and remember I love your feedback and sincerely hope you will continue giving it. Shout outs to:

Detective Kim had gathered the police force around awaiting the BAU profilers to give them a description and profile of the person they were looking for. As Agent Hotchner's team stepped out the dull murmur of the officers who were in conversations died down.
"Before we deliver the profile we'd like to remind you all that this is a guide to who we are looking for but not a definite description…" Agent Blake told the group of officers before in unit chief stepped forward.
"We're looking for a white male in his mid-thirties to forties" Agent Hotchner told them before JJ began to add.
"While be rather plain in appearance he will still look as though he belongs... anyone who would blend in with Hollywood stars and socialites" JJ continued.
Several police officers were nodding, some were taking notes.
"He is extremely organized… it takes a lot of planning to make someone disappear without a trace and then give evidence to a police officer without being caught!" Morgan added to the two previous statements.
"Because of the amount of security that Miss Archer has kept since she was being stalked before, we believe that the Unsub is someone who knows her personally or at least well enough that they wouldn't draw alarm by visiting her at work!" Rossi threw in, "We will be giving you a list of her close friends and family members who live close enough to know or to have seen anything, these people have offered to come in and speak to you about Lila" He added.
"If they are willing to come in and talk then why would they be considered suspects?" An officer close to the back of the crowd asked them looking somewhat skeptical.
"These are NOT suspects but rather witnesses, the few people we have been unable to reach are being narrowed down as likely suspects!" Agent Blake told them to which the acting officer nodded.
"Alright you know what we're looking for…" Detective Kim began addressing the crowd.
While the rest of the team had been giving the profile, Reid was on the phone with Penelope Garcia getting some information on a possible lead.
"You have reached the omnipotent technical oracle Penelope Garcia, speak and be heard!" Garcia greeted the young agent who just shook his head.
"Garcia I need you to find for me an updated number for Parker Dunley…" He told her as he looked at the evidence board blankly.
"You mean your friend with the art gallery?" She asked as she started a search with the name she had been given.
"Yeah, I haven't been able to reach him and I think he may be able to give us more information on who the Unsub could be…" Reid responded looking through the list of current suspects.
"Sorry sugar his last registered number has been disconnected for a few months now!" She told him frowning in a very 'Garcia' way.
"Could you give me the address of his gallery so that I can go speak to him in person?" he asked her as he went to write Parker's name and business.
"I've got it right here but I think you are going to be disappointed hunny!" She told him instinctually hearing him scowl, "It was closed after a lawsuit about six months ago!" She continued before hearing a voice speaking to Reid.
"I'll get back to you if I find a way to get him, Garcia out!" She told him before she disconnected the call.
Reid turned to look at JJ who had just entered the room. She looked at him with a soft sympathy that she had reserved for him, Henry and Will.
"Her manager told me a lot about what she's been doing lately…" JJ told him as her eyes scanned Lila's picture on the evidence board, "She's a celebrity Advocate for victims of stalking and harassment… the movie she's working on is about her story…" She added looking over at her friend and colleague. He nodded as he starred at some of the evidence on the board as if trying to put pieces together.
"I can see the gears turning in your head Spence!" She commented as the rest of the team was filing back into the room.
"Something is right in front of my eyes… but I just can't figure it out… I keep coming back to the collage that Lila had on her wall!" He told them brows furrowing.
"Yes but that collage came from Maggie and she's been in prison since she was charged with stalking!" JJ pointed out.
"I remember Lila's agent saying that Maggie didn't actually give it to her though." Blake added making Morgan look over as if something had suddenly occurred to him.
"Reid your buddy Parker gave her the collage and pretended it was from him… he told me himself that he had lied so Lila would like him!" Morgan told them pulling his phone out and quickly dialing up Garcia and putting the phone on speaker.
"Well Hello Chocolate Thunder!" Garcia greeted, "how can I be of service?" She asked expecting Morgan to speak.
"Garcia did you get any more information on Parker Dunley?" Reid replied making her pause before responding.
"Uh yeah I took the liberty of calling his employer and he hasn't shown up for work or contacted anyone in the last thirty-six hours…" She informed him making several sets of eyes go wide.
"Who currently occupies his old gallery space?" Reid asked slowly putting together the pieces he had been missing.
"Nada, the place has been empty since he lost his lease!" She told him voice quivering as the realization dawned on her.
"Garcia send us the address we have to move quickly!" Hotch injected motioning for Rossi to go inform the officers outside that they may have found who they were looking for.
"Yes sir, sending the address to your cells now!" She told him before ending the call and sending out a mass message with the address and directions to the old gallery space.
Hey Peeps thanks so much for reading and be sure to review or send a private message with your feedback! Also to any fans of both Criminal minds and X-Men I have a Series of X-Men stories that myself and my two Beta's call "the Monster Series", it's a little bit campy in spots from what I've been told and the use of several original Characters has also turned people off but the basic idea and universe of it is the life of several of the X-Men when they were in their teen's and attending The Xavier Institute.
Also I plan on putting an update schedule for everything on my Profile if anyone is curious.
I'll see you all in chapter four and hopefully in other stories I've written!
-Love, LB
