I do not own…
After school was over Mischa got a ride from Jennifer since her dad had left to Minnesota to help with a case. The rest of the school day she's been getting nothing but voice mails and text messages from her ex-boyfriend, Author. An ex-boyfriend that she regretted ever dating before. He was a stalker with a psychopath mind. About a few weeks before she broke up with him he nearly tried to rape and kill them both. She was able to take him down before he could do any of that. Would have killed him too but the cops showed up before she could. The charges were dropped because he wasn't taking his meds for seven months but was send to Mental Institute for a year. But he got out early and now he's back to stalking her again.
Mischa had to put her phone on silent the rest of the day. She decided to show them to Amy's dad, detective Ivan Jackson afterwards.
"Are you sure, you want to stay alone by yourself tonight?" Jennifer asked as she stopped by Mischa's gate.
"Yeah, I promise that I'll be fine." Mischa said as she got out of the car and smile. "And if I do die I already made a Will that says that you can have my Italian Louis Vuitton hand bag." And shut the door. "Would have given you the matching boots too but Kat already claimed them."
"Not funny, Mischa. Call me, if you're in trouble." Jennifer scolded before driving.
Mischa couldn't help but laugh. She thought her sense of humor was funny. Then she stopped and looked around to make sure that she wasn't followed before turning to the keypad. She placed in the code and went inside when it opened. Then quickly closed it before setting the alarm back on and went to the house. Once inside she did the same; she unset and then set the alarm in the house after bring Cerberus in.
She had went to the kitchen to make a little snack before heading to the living to watch some T.V. Since it was Friday she finished her homework at school so she was able to relax for a little bit. On one channel they were showing The Bride of Chucky. She loved watching slasher horror flicks. Her father thinks that they would damage her mind. When he said that she almost laugh. Thanks to him and his ways her mind is already damage but she's not complaining. She actually enjoys killing and eating people.
She was half way in the show when the doorbell rang and Cerberus started to bark. Mischa looked over at the hallway and quickly reached for the hidden blade that was attach underneath the coffee table. No one should have gotten to the door without knowing the code to the gate. With Cerberus by her side they walked over to the front door. Cerberus was on the stance to attack; ready to defend his mistress if necessary. Mischa looked through the peek-hole and saw no one. She unset the code and slowly unlocked the door before slowly opening it. When the door is fully opened there was no one at all but a DVD that said HAPPY ANNIVERSARY on the case on the door-step. She picked it up with a brow raise and looked around.

His POV…
I have watched the video over ten times and I held a straight blank face. But in the inside of my mind I was laughing it up. Whoever killed this kid knew what they were doing, I'll give them that. They made sure to keep the video on Luis the whole time. Only showed up when they wanted to torture him for not telling them the truth. They made sure to keep their identity hidden, along with their voice. Even their tech girl Garcia couldn't find a second voice or who send out the video on the net. This killer knew what they were doing.
We had to head back to the station to discuss this with the rest of the team. I wanted to stay to keep an eye on my lovely little red of course but I couldn't. I need to know her routine soon. Normally, I would follow them around for a couple of weeks before grabbing them but seeing that she was 17 still and in high school I knew I had to wait a little longer. I was thinking of maybe changing my approach with her. I can already tell that she was different from the other girls taken. The look in her eyes told me that she was cautions around me and I didn't want that. I didn't want another Emma on my hands.
I was wondering if should just talk to her first so she could get to know me and accept me. That's all I ever wanted, total acceptance from of what we have and total acceptance of me. I believe my lovely little red is that someone. I just need to find a way to approach her. But that may be a little hard now since the FBI has me helping them. Knowing them they won't find my interest in Mischa a healthy choice and if I do have to kidnap my lovely they'll now it was me. Maybe I should find the killer, stage their death and have them go home. Sounds simple but I have no lead and there was no way in hell that I was going to ask that Freddie Lounds woman for information.
"Okay we just got the I.D on the skulls and the body at the museum." Prentiss said; breaking me from my deep thoughts.
She placed pictures of four young men and four young women on the board.
"David Harvest, Jenny Miller, Scarlett Dickel, Michael World, Tiffany Allen, Hellen Brooker, Cory Calver and Jacob Carson." She said
"No one reported them missing?" Rossi asked
"Now of them knew each other but David, Scarlett and Hellen were on Europe trips. They decided to take the year off. No one knew they were missing. Jenny and Michael were actually a couple and headed to Canada to travel last summer." J.J said "Tiffany was reported missing in Georgetown last month. Cory was reported missing two weeks after Tiffany. I talked to Jacobs cousin and her husband, they said that he was heading back to Baltimore three days before he was killed."
"The last kill seem personal. Is there any connections with the other victims." Hotch said
"Garcia was actually able to get a connection between the girls. They all had restraining orders with this one guy Author Murphy." Prentiss said
"Author Murphy?" Detective Jackson
He was the man that brought the FBI in.
"You know him?" Morgan asked
"Yeah, I know him. Arrested him myself a year ago. He almost raped and tried to kill a girl at her Gymnastic class after three weeks she placed a restraining order on him." Jackson said
"Who was the girl?" Hotch asked
"She's a friend of my daughters', Mischa Lector." Jackson said
My jaw clenched and my knuckles turned white as I clenched my hands tightly; trying with all my might to calm down. This bastard try's to rape and kill my Mischa. When I find this little creep he's going to beg me for death.
"Mischa Lector? We just talked to her. She's one of the students that was there at the museum." Morgan said
"It says here that all charges were dropped because he hasn't taken his medication for seven months before the incident. He was send to a Mental Institute for a year but he got out early for good behavior." Reid read Author's files.
Are they fucking kidding me. Note to self; hunt down and kill the fucking idiot for letting this bastard out early. I took the paperwork from Reid and read the files out loud.
"Patient Author Murphy displays an amazing change over the past few months. Takes his medicine without complaints, attended all his schedule meetings on time, and complete his chores. Even does extra work on the side without being told to. He has come to terms with what he has done and knows that it was wrong. He even saved a guards life when a riot broke out and a patient stab the guard in the neck." I read. "I can't believe they fell for this. This kid clearly has the signs and traits of a psychopath. He's clearly been through these before and knows how everything works. All he has to do is get off his meds again. Was the family notified of his release?"
"Her father made sure that they were notified as did I. The man that ran the Metal Institute is an old colleague of his. Before his release I helped Dr. Lector upgraded the security around his house." Jackson said "I even had an undercover cop to follow her and keep an eye out for Murphy. Mischa hasn't complained about him messaging her. We haven't seen him around lately. Thought he might have skip town."
"Or find a way to track down all his ex's that dumped him." Rossi said "Mischa could have been his stressor."
"If that's true, then the men must be her ex-boyfriends or suiters that she turned down the year after he met her." I added and looked Jackson. "Was Jacob her pervious boyfriend?"
"Yeah, they've were dating a few months now. It's a damn shame, too. He was really a good kid too." Jackson sighed
"That's why he was the last to be killed. Then he's going to try and kill her again. If he can't have her, no one can." I said
"What about the father? He would pose a greater threat to Author. Being the only parent in her life it would be getting rid of his biggest competition." Reid said
"Where are the father and daughter now?" Hotch asked
"Hannibal is out of state, helping another FBI agent with a case somewhere. It's after school right now so Mischa should be home." Jackson said
"Alright, Prentiss and I are going to go to Quantico to see the agent that knows the whereabouts of the father. Rossi, Morgan, Westwood I want you to go to the Lectors house and see if the daughter is there. If this Author is the unsub then he would strike one of them." Hotch ordered
"Ah, Hotch I don't think that would be necessary." J.J said
He looked where she was looking and saw my Mischa coming in the station with her dog. My heart was pounding against my rib cage at seeing her again. My smile turned into a frown when I saw the fear in her eyes. Who dared tried to harm her, I'll kill them.
"Mischa, what happened?" Jackson asked as she walked over to them.
"It's Author…he…he back. He…he…killed…" She cried
She couldn't finish her sentence and handed Jackson the DVD case. He handed it to Reid and the kid placed it in one of the lap-top. When it was playing the song "Every Breath You Take" by Chase Holfelder was playing in the background. Then the DVD showed images of someone following Mischa in a far distance before showing the people that were missing being captured, tortured and killed by Author. The last showing was Author plunging a knife into Jacob's stomach before slicing it down to where his guts were.
"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, babe. I'll see you soon love. Very soon." Author said to the camera before blowing a kiss and the camera shut off.
"I couldn't watch it all, so I came here." My Mischa said trying to hold back her tears. "He was able to get through the gate. I was worried that he was still around watching."
"You did the right thing coming here, Mischa." Hotch said
"Is there anywhere you can think he could be?" Prentiss asked "Would he stay with some friends or family?"
"No, but he has been leaving me messages lately. I thought…I thought maybe you could track him down." My Mischa said
"Morgan." Hotch said and gave him a look.
"I'm calling Garcia right now." Morgan said
While Hotch was giving orders to everyone else I was focusing on video. Playing, rewinding and fast-forwarding ever flick on his kills; trying to figure out where this little creep could be. I need to find him before they do and kill him for hurting my Mischa. If Author was anything like me he would have dump the phone somewhere else and stay at his hideout. No one threatens what is mine. It would have to be somewhere that was close to Mischa. That's it. I recognized some of the images. Some areas showed signs of a slaughterhouse. I had once used one as a hideout for my kills before. So after excusing myself I checked my phone to search for any rundown or abandon slaughterhouses near Mischa's neighborhood. I got lucky and there was one deep in the wooden area that was once owned by Mischa's grandfather.
'Found you.' I thought with a dark smirk
I head back to the others and my heart dropped when my Mischa wasn't anywhere in sight.
"Where's Mischa Lector?" I asked
"I had two of my men take her back home. Her father is returning home." Jackson said "Hotch talked with head man that was working that case and told him about the situation. Some of the FBI will be escorting him just in case."
"Um…Jackson, there's a situation." One cop said with a nervous look
"What is it?" Jackson asked
"Unit 98, the one that was taking Ms. Lector home, it was attacked." The cop said
If this room wasn't filled with cops right now I would have killed them both. If anything happens to her will be there deaths.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(*)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Mischa knew this was bad idea. She felt it in her gut.
A police squad car was supposed to take her home but someone placed spikes on the road and the car ended up crashing into a tree. She and Cerberus were okay in the back but the cops in the front not so much. The one in the driver seat was dead but the other guy was still breathing. He called in the accident and tried to get out of the car. When he got out he opened the back door for them and someone shot him from behind. Mischa didn't flinch or even scream as she knew who it was. Author walked out of the shadows of the trees with a crazy grin on his face.
"Hello, babe. Told you that I'll be seeing you soon." He said
He took another gun out and shot both her and Cerberus; making them knocked out.
Hotchners' team, Godfrey, along with Hannibal, Will and Jack arrived at the crime scene. Hannibal was normally in control and calmed but right now he was nervous wreck. He knew his daughter could handle herself but he knew what Author was capable of. Now he's extra worried since they found Cerberus in the back seat fast asleep; so she had no one to protect her.
Will was surprise at first to hear that Hannibal actually had a daughter. He didn't pin Hannibal as someone to care for someone else. When Will first met him, he knew that Dr. Lecter is a man that is perfections, all about manners and prided over himself and no one else. He can't believe how wrong he was. After what happened with Abigail Hobbs, Will didn't want another young girl to be harm by another psycho. That's why he was helping with the other FBI agents.
"We got here in 15 minutes after the crash was called in. He couldn't have gone far with her." Jackson said to Hotchners' team.
"Tire tracks shows that he is heading west in the woods." Morgan said
"Are there any houses or old buildings in these woods?" Hotchner asked Jackson
"There's an old slaughterhouse that once belonged to Mischa's grandfather down that way." Hannibal said "Mischa told me that she once took him there."
"That where he's heading. Not only is that place part of her family but it's close to where she lives. Its helps him feel close to her." Will said
"He's right. Everything that he's done was to keep Mischa close to him." Reid said
"What will happen if she rejects him?" Jack asked
"The same that happen last time; he'll try to end their life so that they'll be together." Godfrey said "He'll be ticking time bomb if she rejects him again."
"Mischa is smart; she'll do her best to buy time." Hannibal said
"Then let us hope we find them before anything happens." Hotchner said
Hotchner and everyone went in their cars and drove down the old path to the slaughterhouse. Godfrey couldn't stop worrying about Mischa and what Author would do with her. By the time they found the slaughterhouse the lights were on and someone let out a dying scream.
