Chapter Four: I Like Mine Stirred, Not Shaken

Evelyn Parker's POV

We all walked into the hotel. I had my go bag in my hands, even though Reid asked if I wanted him to carry it. I declined saying that if I was capable of taking down unsubs, I can carry a light bag. He laughed awkwardly saying that I was right.

We all got our own rooms, but they were all on the same floor. They were simple with a bed, television and a small kitchen unit. I threw my bag onto the bed and walked back out into the hall, prepared to go down to the station.

"Ready, Eve?" Prentiss asked, as she walked towards me.

"Yeah. As much as I could be," I smiled nervously.

"I know it's a little scary when the victims look that similar to you, but you can't let it affect you that much. You know we all will try to keep you safe," She said, lowering her voice.

"I know. It's just a little nerve-wracking," I said.

"And Eve," Prentiss said, "I was just wondering, but has anything happened between you and Reid? You both are acting a little weird." My face heated.

"You can tell?" I worried. She gave me a smile,

"Yeah. It's a little obvious."

"Well… I'm pretty sure we slept with each other," I said quickly.

"Pretty sure?" Prentiss asked.

"Neither of us remembers anything. But I woke up naked in his bed." She smiled and opened her mouth to say something when Hotchner appeared.

"Ready?" He asked. We both nodded.

"Let's go then." Hotch said.

Everyone walked into the station. Reid stood, a little closer than normal, by my side the whole time. A woman walked out of an office towards us. Her brown hair styled to her shoulders curving in at the ends. Her brown eyes were hard and she had a few wrinkles. She had dark gray suit pants on and a purple button up blouse.

"Thank you for coming." She grabbed Hotch's hand, shaking it.

"My name's Martha Gillian." She then moved to Rossi, shaking his hand as well.

"I appreciate you all coming out here. I'm leading this case and I needed a little help. New eyes, you know." She shook JJ's and Emily's hands.

"I'd love to show you all the information we have on this case, but you've probably seen it all in the folders." She shook my hand, her grip was hard.

"We don't have much of a lead, but the victims are all found three days before the next goes missing." After shaking Garcia's hand she turned to Reid. He waved at her instead of taking her hand.

"Oh, okay. Well, I'll show you to the room we prepared for you all." She moved towards a door. The one wall was covered in the pictures of the victims. I had to force myself to breathe normally.

Stop it Eve, you trained to do things like this. This is your job, you can't act like this.

The four victims looked so much like me that it scared me.

"Alright, we'll start now." Hotch said, picking up a folder from the round table in the middle of the room. Two other walls were covered with things. The one had a cork and white board and the other with a large map. The last wall was a window to the rest of the station. The wood table in the middle had a phone, laptop, folders, papers and pens. It was surrounded with chairs.

"This was his first victim, Beatrice Potter." Hotch said, attaching a name tag to the wall by her picture with a thumb tack.

"She was found about fifty six days ago. She had old rope burns on her wrists and ankles and she was raped."

"So he kept her tied up, raped her, then killed her?" I asked.

"Yeah, except for the fact that the rope burns were twenty days old the three days after she was killed." Hotch said.

"So, the unsub moved her to a cage? Maybe a locked room?" JJ asked.

"That's what I was thinking, but why after a few days? Why not right away?" Morgan asked.

"What if he was transporting her somewhere for those four days?" I asked.

"Possibly, but I don't think he would take his victims that far. The abduction site and the beach we find them at are only fifteen to forty miles away from each other." Rossi said, looking at an open folder.

"What if," I start, "he gains their trust or says something to make them not want to run?"

"Then he moves them to a new room and doesn't need to tie them up anymore," Prentiss said.

"So, he abducts them, keeps them tied for four days till they trust him enough not to run." JJ said.

"Or until they feel like they need to listen to him to live." Prentiss adds.

"They're pretty healthy though. Not starved or anything. A little filthy, but the unsub is giving them food and water." Morgan said.

"It says they're only raped once. If he's keeping them for three weeks why only once?" Rossi asked.

"Maybe it's a scare tactic?" I say.

"From the autopsy, it happens two weeks before they're killed." JJ said.

"That's strange; you'd think he'd continue." Morgan said.

"Then what? What happens in the next two weeks before they're murdered?" Reid asked.

"That's the problem. We have no idea." Hotch said.
