A/N: Wow. I wrote three chapters in one day! I'm really on a roll with this story. I hope you like it!
"Mr. Collins, my fellow doctors and I came to somewhat of a conclusion about the murders. The last two murders are identical to the murders of Carl Denaro and Rosemary Keenan," Brennan said.
"Denaro and Keenan? Oh my god. The Son of Sam. How could we be so stupid?"
"I'm not sure. but what's important Mr. Collins, is the other murders. The murders you attributed to your killer," Brennan told him.
"We need to know about them… in detail," Booth told the man.
"Alright, well, there were four of them," Mr. Collins began. "The first murder. It was a woman. She was in her mid-30's, found strangled to death in her own apartment."
"Was there any evidence of sexual assault?" Brennan asked.
"Yes, actually. We determined that the woman was raped before she was strangled," Collins responded.
Brennan jotted down some notes. She stared intently at the words on the paper for a few moments. Strangled with own sweater, raped in apartment.
"Albert DeSalvo," Brennan said.
"DeSalvo.. DeSalvo. Isn't that the guy who strangled a bunch of ladies in Massachusetts?" Booth asked.
Brennan replied, "Yes, Booth. The Boston Strangler. He raped women in their apartments, and strangled them with an article of their own clothing. What about the next murder?"
"Fifteen year old boy. He was found in a crawlspace under a small house in Chicago. His hands were tied behind his back, and a t-shirt was stuffed in his mouth. We figured it was used to muffle the boy's screams."
"And the cause of death?" Brennan asked.
"Choked with a rope," Collins replied.
"It's John Wayne Gacy," Brennan said.
In awe of her brilliance, Collins said, "The Killer Clown. Dr. Brennan, you're a genius."
"So, is this guy a…copy cat?" Booth asked.
"That's exactly what he is," Brennan began. "That's what makes him so hard to catch. The only thing his murders have in common is that they are replicating murders of other well known serial killers."
"Well, what do we do now?" Mr. Collins asked.
"We need as much evidence as possible. There's been a few copy cat cases before. I need you to retrieve any files on the previous murders. There's really no logical reason why this man… or woman would stop now. They're going to keep killing until we catch them. We need to look for clues as to what serial killer he's going to copy next," Brennan told Booth and Collins.
"I'll go inform everyone. And Collins…I want everything you've got," and with that, she walked out the door.
Collins smiled, and watched her walk away. He tried to catch a glimpse of her sparkling blue eyes before she was out of sight.
Booth snapped his fingers at him. "Hey buddy. Stop staring at my partner and get to work."
"Yes Agent Booth," replied Collins, and he walked out the door.
A/N: Yay! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Collins lusting over Brennan and Booth getting jealous has the potential to get interesting, I think. Not sure where I'm going with that yet.. haha. I like this chapter.. Oh, and in case anyone is interested, the serial killers and the way they kill their victims is all real. I did some research before writing this. Thanks for reading! Reviews are always lovely.
