Chapter 4: Past Present Future


There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; no disease that enough love will not heal; no door that enough love will not open. – Emmet Fox


Where am I? Why can't I see properly? Am I at the hospital? No I can't be, I'm sitting in a chair…I think. Dear Lord, please help me. I am scared and don't know what to do.

The girl in the chair looked around at her hazy surroundings hoping to focus on something, and be able to sort out where she is. Slowly the objects that are all around her began to solidify and make recognisable shapes.

The outline of what appeared to me a man loomed over her, starting out as a dark blob and slowly turning into a body and a face with features. When she saw the dark look that filled his face she opened her mouth and gave a scream of horror. She suddenly knew what has happening, and she remembered what the last thing she remembered before the big black sea of her dreams took over.


The night was beautiful. The sky was clear and there was a full moon and many stars shining bright, warm light breeze would make her long blonde hair float in the current of the air, the sent of autumn also evident.

She was walking through the quiet and very quaint neighbourhood in which she has lived for almost 5 years. She knew the area well, and would often take a walk later on during the evening when her life had calmed down after a long day of work and class.

So taking a walk on that night, nothing much had changed, except for the bad feeling that she had in her gut all day. When she left her little house that feeling increased to a crippling pain. After a very short three minutes into her walk, the feeling and pain began to get to her, so she turned back, thinking that an early night just might be the best thing for her.

As she neared her house she saw her neighbour. She slowed her walked, and gave her a wave and said hello, bid her a good night and then entered her house. Turning on the lights she sat down on the little bench that sat in her front hall and took off her shoes. She walked up the stairs and went to take a bath. After about half an hour in the soothing water, that eerie feeling still hadn't gone away. She got out of the tub, and put on her pyjamas, and then went downstairs to turn off the lights and lock the front door. After turning the lock and bolt into place she didn't even have the chance to turn fully before a hand wrapped itself around her mouth to prevent her from screaming. She felt a sting in her arm and she felt her body relax and collapsed into the arms of the unknown person.


Reid walked the length of the jet repetitively trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Every so often he would stop and tell himself that thinking ahead three moves will not help him now like it would normally in a chess game. Making a profile for this killer wasn't really needed. They had dealt with him before hand, they knew the way he worked, and how he thought. Or at least they used to. Maybe he had changed, be seemed the same when he spoke to the team. Reid finally sat down and opened the case file the held the information about the poor girl in "the video".

Name: Cady Guevara

Age: 23

Height: 5'4

Weight: Approx. 120 lbs

Caucasian

Hair colour: Blonde

Eye colour: Brown

Education: Student at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Major in History, minor in Sociology.

Occupation: Bennington Sanitarium,

Address: 380 Willow Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Reid knew that area of town, it was quiet, and very beautiful. Just like he thought she would be.

The plane was preparing to land in Las Vegas, the team had their assignments. Morgan, Hotch and JJ were going to her work place, Reid, Gideon and Emily were to go to her home, look for anything that could help and talk to her neighbours.


Reid got out of the SUV with Hotch, Gideon and Emily. He noticed that the neighbourhood was the same as he remembered it. Emily walked up to the house beside the one that belongs to Cady, rang the door bell and when a tall woman with curly auburn hair opened the door, some words were exchanged and then both of them walked to were Reid, Hotch and Gideon were standing.

Emily introduced the girl as Amalia. She was the last person to have seen Cady that night.

"So, Amalia, you live next door to Cady," Emily started "Does she do anything repetitively, or scheduled? Do you talk to her often?"

"I saw her last night, but only briefly. She went for her walk when the sun went down like she always does, but she wasn't feeling well, so she came home early. She has had a busy week like she always does. That girl is a saint I swear. She works at the Bennington Sanitarium trying to help people, and get a better feel of the way the human mind works. She gets far more attached to the patients there. She also works at an animal rescue center about 30 minutes away from here. She will often work with an animal and then bring it into the sanitarium. She says that the people there love it."

Reid felt something in his chest kick start.

"Does she talk about the patients to you, or tell you what she does there a lot?" Gideon questioned.

"Well Cady loves to read, she will read anything, and is generally done way before anybody else. She told me of a lady who is a patient at the sanitarium that has a book club of sorts. Diana I believe her name is. Cady will often sit through the conversations about the books that Diana will have, sometimes she even finds new books for her to read, or buys her newer copies, or gets them rebound."

"Has Cady ever talked about other patients? Please this is really important."

Amalia scrunched up her face and looked like she was thinking hard.

"She mentioned someone by the name of Tobias. Tobias… Hank? Hankie? Hankle…yea that's it. His name was Tobias Hankle."

The BAU members that were present all looked as though they got kicked in the gut, but then they all looked at Reid as if to gauge his response.

"Why do you look like that? Do you know him? What's going on, I want demand to know what is going on!"

Hotch and Emily pulled her aside and wrote down everything that she knew about Tobias, and what Cady told her about him. Gideon stood near Reid, silently watching.

Reid stood leaning against the huge SUV and stared at the little white house that Cady Guevara lived in.


Ok, so in case you didn't read the authors note at the top, updates are going to be almost non existent for the next week and a half. I have exams and final demonstrations to do for high school. I have to do well, so yea.

And here is this weeks "Contest" It is from a movie by the way. I need the name of the person who said it and which movie.

"Razors pain you, rivers are damp, acid stains you, drugs cause cramps, gun aren't lawful, nooses give, gas smells awful, you might as well live."

Enjoy
