Reid looked over at Ana who was staring at the evidence board trying to find the connection that he himself couldn't see yet. He couldn't get over
how pretty she was and found it cute when she furrowed her eyebrow when deep in thought, to lighten the mood he decided to strike up
conversation. "So, Santos are you Portuguese?" he asked she arched her eyebrow in response. "Uh no not really why?" Reid inwardly kicked
himself, "No reason just curious as you've probably guessed small talk isn't exactly my strongest suit." She laughed "Don't worry Spence I won't
bite, if that's what you're worried about, besides I'm not exactly good with small talk either." Reid nodded.
Reid and Ana continued to go over the details of the case when one of the officers came in with the autopsy results from the coroner. Ana took the
results, and skimmed the tox screen for any drugs, the more she went over the results the stranger things became. There were no signs of torture
or sexual abuse as she predicted , but no drugs in their systems either. The cause of death had been seizure. So she went to the biochemistry
page and saw nothing out of the ordinary except that the blood glucose levels had been extremely low at time of death. It was then that it hit her,
but before she could reveal her conclusion to Spence the team walked in. "Another female in her late 20s, caucausian , this time she was a
druggie." Emily stated " He's killing faster, devolving, we need to find him fast." Hotch said. "Her, we need to find her fast." The team all looked to
Ana. "What?!" Hotch asked. "The unsub is a woman, while you guys were gone the autopsy results came back, no signs of torture or any sexual
abuse, and the cause of death was a seizure, however the blood glucose levels at time of death were extremely low, neither of the vics were
diabetics, so my guess is insulin, the kind that would be readily available to a nurse. Hence female unsub, the brutality was simply a way to cover up
the truth." The team continued to stare at her. "Well that changes things- before Rossi could continue Garcia called "Hello my people, I found
something, our two vics were not exactly the nicest people, the woman was a high end prostitute, the man accused and charged with 3 counts of
rape and one of assult and battery." "So a vigilante then" Morgan stated. "No a vigilante would use a gun or a knife and not this much overkill,
besides what would make a nurse want to be a vigilante" Reid stated. "Then what do you suggest Santos?" Rossi asked Ana thought for a moment
and then turned to the phone Morgan had in his hand. "Garcia can you look into the vics pasts , see if they have anything in common, the same
schools or highschools." "On it" Garcia said. "Thanks baby girl." Morgan said before hanging up. Ana arched an eyebrow at that and walked over to
him "Baby girl?" Morgan just shook his head as a slight blush rose to his cheeks. "don't ask". Ana just laughed.
Over the next 4 hours Garcia had found no connection to between the vics, and the team had gone to the hospitals in the area to give the profile.
When they returned to the police station there was a woman waiting there. Detective Peters went up to the team. "Agent Hotchner this woman
came in while you were gone, claims she knows who the killer is because she's after her." Hotch walked over to the woman "I'm Agent Hotchner of
the FBI could you tell me what you told the detective. " The woman nodded "My name is Nicole Anderson, I know who the serial killer is, she's after
me." Hotch eyed her carefully. "And why do you think that?" "Because she hates me, she always has." Hotch could smell a lie a mile away and this
woman was lying through her teeth about something, but he continued to play it cool. "And who is she?" "Sandra Moncton, she's a nurse at
Pheonix Hospital." Hotch nodded and walked back over to his team. "Her name is Nicole she claims that our unsub is after her, Morgan talk to her,
see if who she's talking about fits our profile, Dave you and I are going to the hospital to talk to the staff, JJ call Garcia have her look into this
woman, Her name is Sandra Moncton, I need to know everything about her, the rest of you stay here." They nodded and went to it.
Hotch and Dave had found the nurse who surprisingly enough came quitely with them for questioning. Just as they arrived JJ informed them that
Garcia had information on the suspect. "Go ahead Garcia." "Alright sir, so I found out that one Sandra Moncton, moved around from school to school,
and the four elementary schools she went to each coincide with our victims, what I didn't expect was that she was severely bullied, I mean the
school kept records most are just what the school would call small complaints but the from the pictures I sent I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts
that it was much worse than that. I also found out that your walk in filed for malpractice against Sandra, the case was sealed I working on
unsealing it, all I know is that she was going to lose her job." "Can you say stressor" Ana said Hotch just stared at her. "Thank you Garcia let me
know when you unseal the file." "will do boss man, over and out." Hotch looked to Rossi "Dave start questioning Ms Moncton, JJ prepare a press
conference we have our unsub, Ana go and find out what Morgan got." Ana nodded and left to find Morgan.
When Ana arrived at the other corner of the precint she saw Morgan talking to the other woman, when he saw her, he excused himself and walked
over. "Newbie, what can I do ya for." "Hotch wants to know what you got from her." Morgan glanced at the woman across from them "She was
suing the nurse for malpractice apparently she believes that Moncton gave her mother a lethal dose of morphine, which then killed her." Ana arched
an eyebrow "Lethal dose?" Morgan shrugged. "Do me a favor call Garcia see if she can find out how Ms Anderson is connected to Moncton." Morgan
nodded. As she walked away he called her attention, "By the way Santos out of curiosity are you Spanish?" Ana laughed "No Morgan I'm not
Spanish." Ana shook her head what was it with everyone wanting to know the origin of her last name, then again they were all profilers and that
wasn't a skill one could just turn off.
Ana walked back over to Hotchner who was watching Dave from the two way mirror, He looked so serious, then again with everything he'd probably
seen in this line of work she couldn't really blame him. "Um Sir, I just came from speaking with Morgan and...at her words his head wipped around to
face her, and she couldn't help but notice a small flinch when he did, but as soon as it came it left and he compelled her to continue without having
to say a word. "He said that Ms Anderson was suing Ms Moncton for malpractice because of what she claims to have been an illegal dose of
Morphine." Hotch nodded and before he could respond his phone went off. "Hotchner" he replied. "Boss man, so I got the file unsealed turns out
that Ms Anderson knew someone on the Nursing Disciplinary board that made sure Moncton's case was ruled not only as malpractice but that she
would lose her license as a result, there was nothing Moncton could do. I also found out that Ms Anderson was one of Moncton's main torturers in
school, the things she did to her, Moncton didn't have a chance." Hotch nodded and went in to talk to Dave and Moncton.
After 2 hours they had a signed confession from Moncton and Anderson was told she could go home, Ana now packing her things to go back on the
Jet was left with a bad taste in her mouth. She didn't expect her first encounter with an unsub to be like this. The unsub was going to lost job
because of a vendictive woman who got off by pushing others down, it wasn't right, then again why she believed things would be clear cut was
beyond her.
Ana's voice "Human identity is the most fragile thing that we have, and it's often only found in moments of truth.Alan Rudolph"
Once on the Jet she took a seat by the window and pulled out a book and her ipod, opting for her book she left her ipod on the table. Before she
could finish the first paragraph, Hotch took a seat across from her. "Santos" Hearing her name she put the book down and looked at him. "I know I
haven't exactly been welcoming, but I wanted to let you know, you did a good job on this case, your fast, we're lucky to have you." "Thank
you..Hotch" for a moment there she could have sworn he cracked a small smile but gave her a curt nod instead. She went back to her book and
could overhear the conversation between Emily and Morgan. "You know Santos was a common surname given to orphans maybe that's it." Ana
rolled her eyes. "You know I can hear you, what is the interest in my last name." she asked "We're just trying to figure you out." Ana could feel
irritation beginning to creep up on her. "And what praytell are you going to get from my last name?" Morgan shrugged "A clue." Reid had said
looking at her shyly. Ana could tell they weren't going to let it go, too frustrated and tired to make up a lie the words were out before she could
stop herself "For the love of, fine Santos was the surname the hospital gave me when I couldn't remember my own!" As soon as the words left her
lips she regretted them closing her eyes she turned on her ipod and tuned out the team who just stared at her in dumb silence her response
leaving them with more questions than answers.
