Disclaimer: As always, I will announce that I have NEVER claimed, nor will I EVER claim, to have owned Criminal Minds or the lovely characters that are in it. That is the work of the writers (please come off of strike) and the brillaint actors and actresses.
I don't know. Do you guys even like this fanfic? Because if I'm just wasting my time, I'd like to know. I want to write something that everybody will enjoy, and only one person has reviewed so far telling me they like it. I'm worried that my stories aren't good enough...
Pen sat in the hotel room suite, going over it over and over again in her head. She shook her head. "Eddie cannot be the killer. He wouldn't hurt a fly," she said in a mutter to herself. This just didn't seem right. Her brother was her hero, next to Derek. She loved him so much. Why would he want to kill anybody that looked like her?
JJ sighed and knocked on the hotel room door, startling Pen slightly. Pen walked to the door and opened it, smiling at the sight of her best friend. "Why aren't you with everybody else?" she asked.
JJ sighed, "They don't want me on the case," she said, "I don't think its fair. I mean. I wouldn't be driving alone, anyways. He only attacks girls who are alone."
"Wait, they think that he'll shoot you?" she asked.
"Yea. Because I told them that if it is Eddie, its all my fault that he is doing this," JJ answered as she sat down on the sofa in the suite.
"Thats crazy, JJ," said Pen and shook her head, sitting next to her friend with her right leg beneath her and her left against her chest.
"Not really. If you think about it logically, who is the one who refused to go on a date with him? Who is the one who flirted with him? And then told him she was in love with somebody else?"
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Pen softly. "But...we don't even know if it's Eddie yet, do we?"
"No. But..." she muttered.
"Exactly. You don't have to worry about it, JJ," replied Pen.
JJ looked up, "Do you think, if it is Eddie, that he would kill me if we were alone?"
Pen sighed, "I...I don't really know anymore," she said, "I thought I knew my brother. But then he moved and said nothing about it. He got a new job and said nothing about it."
"Its not your fault he isn't telling you anything, Pen," she said in almost a whisper.

Derek sighed, as he walked up to the Sheriff's office. "Detective Cooper?" he asked, Emily and Hotch following him, Reid tagging along farther behind.
"Agents Morgan, Hotcher, and Prentiss," he smiled politely, "And Dr. Reid. What can I do for you?"
"Can you tell us anything about Eddie Garcia?" asked Derek, saying the name in an almost forced voice.
"He's the best highway patrolman I've ever known," said Cooper proudly.
"Are you absolutely sure he's the best?" asked Emily.
"Never got one complaint about him," said Cooper, incoherantly.
"Maybe thats because they've all died on his watch," said Hotch.
"Your thinking that Eddie is the killer?" asked Cooper defensively.
"He has been on duty each time that one of the girls was killed and he never reported anything, is that true?" asked Emily.
"It is true." said Cooper, going through it in his head.
"Then, where is Officer Garcia today?" asked Emily.
"Off duty." said Cooper. "He asked to have a day off."
"The day we come into town?" asked Hotch.
Derek nodded, "I think thats far too much of a coincidence," he replied.
"What're you talking about?" asked Cooper, interested by now.
"He is the sister of one of our agents, and wanted to be involved with another one of them," said Derek. "They both have blonde hair and brown eyes and are in their late 20's."
"Oh," was all Cooper could manage to get out of his mouth.
