A/N: I'm just so motivated to write this story! Enjoy the rapid updates while they last!

The car ride to the school was both quiet and short. There just wasn't that much to talk about. Reid had the quotes on his mind; he was almost certain they foreshadowed each murder. Based on the timeline they had about a day to find this UnSub before he/she struck again. The odds were not in their favor. Morgan pulled into the parking lot in front of the school meant for busses and got out of the car. Reid followed close behind them. They climbed the front stairs to the patio that led to the front door. Morgan was surprised to see the message was still painted on the concrete.

"Wretches! Ye loved her for her wealth and hated her for her pride." He read aloud.

"And when she fell in feeble health, ye blessed her- that she died." Reid recited immediately.

"Why am I not surprised you know that?" asked Morgan shaking his head. "Look, cameras."

"So why don't they know who did this?" contemplated Reid. "Chances are it's the same person or someone who knows who's doing it."

"What was the second line of this stanza Reid?" asked Morgan as he rang the bell by the door.

"And when she fell in feeble health, ye blessed her- that she died." Reid repeated.

"JJ said Miranda was terminally ill." Morgan noted.

"She was really pretty too. She was probably really popular. The graffiti explained it all." Reid added. They heard the door click and walked inside to the lobby. The lobby was surrounded on two sides by glass trophy cases detailing the school's achievements in mostly sports but there was one case for the drama club. They noticed a tall official-looking man with braces talking to the school cop who had graying hair and an extremely bushy mustache. The man finished his conversation with the officer and approached Reid and Morgan.

"Can I help you gentlemen?" he asked.

"Yeah, we're with the FBI," said Morgan flashing his badge, "I'm Agent Derek Morgan and this is Dr. Spencer Reid." Spencer fumbled with his badge a bit but managed to show it to the man.

"We were wondering if we could ask the staff a few questions and observe the students." Reid added.

"Of course, though you'll have to get a visitors badge from the attendance office first. I'm Mr. Brown and I'm the principal. If you need anything please let me know." said the principal. He pointed them into the general direction of the attendance office and then went on doing his principal duties.

"Can I help you?" asked the secretary.

"Yes. We were told we needed visitor badges. We're with the FBI" answered Reid flashing his badge.

"Okay honey, I just need your names and I.D.'s" she said passively.

"I'm Agent Derek Morgan." Morgan stated and gave the woman his driver's license.

"And I'm Doctor Spencer Reid."

"Okay, here you go," she said as she passed them each a Visitor's sticker to wear on their shirts. "You'll get you I.D's back when you leave. Are you men armed?"

"Yes ma'am" said Morgan motioning to the gun in its holster on his hip.

"Okay, well just be cautious around the kids." she said worried.

"We will." Spencer reassured. He couldn't help but wonder why she would say something like that. He decided that it was one of three possibilities. One being that the students were extremely sheltered, the second being the students were extremely misbehaved and the third being that the secretary was the mother of one of the students.

"That was weird." Morgan said. Suddenly a bell rang signaling the end of one class and the start of another. Morgan and Reid moved closer to the wall in order to stay out of the way. The halls quickly filled with students wearing an array of camouflage and flannel. They also noticed a few wannabe "gangsters" and a few people wearing those nerdy graphic t-shirts but most were definitely hicks.

Reid and Morgan went pretty much unnoticed and when the crowd began to thin out they continued on their way to Mrs. Poma's classroom. They had just turned a corner when suddenly Reid collided with a girl on the other side causing the pile of textbooks she was carrying to spill onto the floor.

"Oh my God. I am so, so sorry." Reid exclaimed as he bent down to help her pick up the books. The girl just laughed.

"Okay Ten."

"Excuse me?" asked Reid confused.

"Oh please, don't try and act like you don't watch Doctor Who. You're wearing a sweater vest with converse for goodness sake." was her reply. Morgan burst into laughter and Reid blushed a little.

"Well played universe, well played." He laughed while shaking his head.

"Are you guys with the police?" the girl asked suddenly.

"Yeah FBI, actually. I'm Agent Derek Morgan and nerd boy over there is Dr. Spencer Reid." Morgan introduced them and Reid shot Morgan a dirty look causing the girl to laugh.

"It's a pleasure. My name is Helen, Helen Marks." the girl introduced herself. "Are you guys here to investigate those three murders?"

"Yeah, I'm sure in such a small school word travels fast, eh?" confirmed Morgan. The bell signaling the start of the next class suddenly went off. "We've made you late."

"Oh don't worry about it, I aid in the library during this period. Do you guys need someone to help show you around?" Helen offered

"Yeah that'd be great."

"Okay just let me drop my stuff off in the library and then we can go." she said grabbing the other half of her books from Reid.

"What exactly are you planning on studying Helen?" Reid asked suddenly.

"Physics. My goal is to get a PhD." She answered. Reid and Morgan raised their eyebrows clearly impressed.

"Sounds like your kind of girl." Morgan joke quietly so Helen couldn't hear him. Reid punched him in the arm and rolled his eyes.

A/N: So I'm not exactly happy with this chapter, but it accomplished what needed to be accomplished. I might post 4 before I go to bed tonight but I'm not sure yet. Next chapter is going to be Rossi and Prentiss and Hotch and JJ. Reviews keep the dementors away! Thank you all for all the recent follows and reviews!
