In the morning, next day, Gia got up, showered and changed into new clothes, went to make some breakfast
"How come change of clothes?"
She turned as JJ and Emily took a seat on the island. She shrugged at the two. She had changed her attire from pant-suits and trousers and blazers with shirts to blue denim shorts, a white tank top over her black bra, both straps visible and some calf length black block heeled boots with a leather jacket
"You look like a teen" JJ chuckled
"I'm taking a break from the team" Gia smiled
"What?" JJ asked
"You cant be serious" Emily asked
"This is no longer BAU case, guys. This is our old times. We've dealt with things much worse than serial killers. Seriously they look like jokes now."
"Where are you going?" JJ asked
"I'm back with the pack. And now we are dealing with it our way" she smiled "Get others. I have a few things to discuss"
by the time others came, the pack had also joined them
"Change of attire?" Morgan chuckled
"Shut up" she said and looked at others
"I'm joining the pack for the time period." she nervously smiled
"since this guy is supernatural, we should deal with it our way. Like we used to." Scott said
"And no offence, you can't keep up with them" Stiles smiled
"try me" Morgan chuckled, leaning back on is chair
"We cover a mile in 15 minutes when chasing someone. We heal super fast so bullets and arrow barely tickles. And we can leap down a cliff and still survive."
Gia said looking at Morgan
"You win" Morgan said
"What about the profile?" Rossi asked
"We can still be looking for this guy on the normal side. You guys can help with it. Wolves skip stuff. Humans don't" Scott said
"Grant, pack or not, I'm not sending you alone out there. This unsub clearly specified his intentions of hurting you. I'm not taking any risks" Hotch clearly said
"what do you want me to do?" Gia asked
"We distribute our work, like before. Grant, you'll be checking the crime scenes with Reid and Morgan. All of them." Hotch said
"Hotch, we are talking about bringing innocent humans into supernatural. you shouldn't even know about it, let alone fight a battle for us" Gia protested
"Damage is done" Rossi said "We know. we might as well lend a hand. more people, the faster the work will finish"
silence settled for a while, which finally Lydia broke
"I thought of telluric currents. Things Darach and Dread Doctors followed. I'm gonna point out locations" Lydia said
"I'll help you with that" JJ volunteered
"Mom completed the confirmatory analyses on the dead bodies. Someone needs to check 'em" Scott said "with me"
"Prentiss and I'll come with you" Rossi said
"I'm gonna go and check out the abandoned liars of our past enemies. The lab, Beacon Hills first national Bank, Eichen, school everything" Malia said
"Derek, Liam, Parrish and I will come with you" Hotch said
"Corey make sure the deputies do not the wind of it" Parrish said
"On it" Corey nodded
"Everybody get to work" Hotch said
"I've read that wolves are able to navigate because of the ability to sense electromaganetic fields which the earth emits. They have this cryptochrome 1 a protein in their cells which are electromagnetic receptors" Reid said
"You read right" Gia chuckled as they hiked their way to their latest crime scene "But I'm not only a wolf. I'm a werewolf. Where 'were' means a man and 'wolf' is an animal. A man with the ability to changed into a wolf. Besides, I don't use electromagnetic field to navigate and I'm pretty no one in the pack does too. I use my hearing and smell" she chuckled facing them "Derek stop complaining about it. you reek of nervousness and it is very discomforting"
And she turned to walk off
"I reek of nervousness?" Derek chuckled skeptically "I'm walking to a crime scene of a dead werewolf with my werewolf colleague. Maybe nervousness is inevitable"
"I found it" Gia said and when the two reached there, they saw her crouched on the crime scene
Suddenly she went alert, back straight
"We have company" she whispered, getting up and the two agents took out their weapons. She inhaled a deep whiff then sighed
"Stop sneaking up on us. I know you are there, Theo" she deadpanned then turned "False alarm"
"how hard is it to fool you?" a voice came and they both, except Gia looked up to see a smirking man opposite to them
"I'd say as hard as killing Scott" Gia looked up at him "Maybe more"
"I heard Derek say that the little bugaboo was back in town and now is an FBI agent. Do I not get the liberty of knowing about my girlfriend?" the man asked
"girlfriend" Reid softly repeated, surprised
"Our relation ended the day you tried to kill Scott. If it wasn't for Liam bringing you back, you were gone for good"
"You can't be serious"
"I'm dead-serious, Theo. You know what they did to me. you knew what I had been turned into. You still did nothing to save me. You poisoned Scott, tried to kill him using Liam. Do I need to go on?" Gia asked and none of the agents missed the hurt in her voice
"You knew the reason" Theo said
"Yeah. To become an alpha. Guess you became one. like me" she flashed her eyes red
"You are an alpha now?" Theo asked in surprise
"Scott is not the only true alpha" she dead panned, getting up "Get out of here and let us do our work. I'd rather spend an evening with this psychopath than with you"
Theo came and held her hand roughly
"I saved you from that hell" he hissed
"of that's very kind of you." Gia deadpanned
"You cannot just always avoid me" he snarled
"You think of stalking me and trust me, Theo, I'll show no hesitance for you as a target practice for some wolfsbane experimentation of my own. And like Scott would leave you after that. He gets to know what you are planning and your sudden disappearance would be no one's concern. And I also heard that Monroe's pet Charles is looking for you. Called in last month. How about I turn you in. the world would one chimera less and everyone would be happy. I also heard that Calaveras are looking for a coyote-wolf chimera. Araya personally me to know if I know any wolf by the name Theo Reaken. How about I place a call right now? She's not like Argents or Monroe, you know that, don't you. Let go of me" she finished snarling
Theo let go of her hand and backed a little
"You've changed" he nervously chuckled and started walking away
"Hey Theo!" she called "You are a bigger pain in the ass than Peter ever was"
He just ignored her and left
"Bastard sonofabitch" she muttered then shook her head "Where were we?"
The two agents just stared at her
"Can we just forget any of that happened and not mention a word to anyone in the pack?" she asked
"Maybe" Derek said "so what do you smell?"
"Right." Gia said then frowned "cheesy chilli mac"
"What?" Reid asked
"Cheesy Chilly Mac. It is my favorite. I mean the scents very limited. Then there's mint and chocolate smell."
"Lemme guess. Your favorites?" Morgan asked
"Totally" she said then crouched down and started digging
"What are you doing?" Reid asked
"I hear something vibrate" she said and stopped. The two crouched and found a wire
"is that a dental floss?" Derek asked with a grimace
"I guess" Reid said and putting on his latex gloves tried to pick it.
Gia knew that one moment she was with Morgan and the next she was hanging upside down with a wire around her ankle
"A tripwire?" Morgan asked with a chuckle
"Spencer" she called, hanging upside down "next time you see a trip wire buried underground, do not trip it"
"Yeah. Sorry" he sheepishly said
"Need help, wolfy?" Morgan stepped closer
"I'm alright" she dangled herself, having some momentum then chopped off the wire and landed gracefully
"I officially hate hunters" she loudly said and sighed, frowning "It was really nice. making a trip wire of dental floss. no one could have suspected"
"What else do you smell?" Morgan asked, which totally felt wierd to ask
"Void" she skeptically answered
"What does that mean? You smell 'nothing'?" Reid asked
"No. it's like, you know something's missing but you can't put a finger on it. It is a weird smell, one I have nothing smelled before. But it is quite memorable" she answered "Wait down here"
She looked up and using a small rock as her ramp, ran and jumped, holding on a low branch, swung up and kept on jumping up
"We cannot do what you just did. Do we have any other option but waiting?" Morgan demanded which Gia ignored
"What are you doing up there?" Reid yelled
Gia stood on the branch above canopy
"Corey, what about the underground tunnel opening on the east of the forest?" she asked
"Corey's not here" Reid said
"Look on your left, 5 o' clock. Oak tree" she answered
The two agents turned and Corey appeared, stuck to a tree
"You were spying on us?" Morgan asked
"No. I was spying on Lex. Scott asked me to" he answered and looked above "The opening's still there"
Gia jumped down and landed perfectly
"The main road's not far. And three cruisers just passed by. So no way he came through the main road and went un-spotted." She turned "Come on. Let's travel under the ground" she chuckled and the four started walking
"What's this place?" Reid asked
"Tunnels. Argent Bunker is down here. We used it during the hunting season" she said guiding through the tunnels "the Beast of Gevaudan was killed here by Parrish" she said and turned a left cut and stopped, wheeling down a steer and pushed it open
It was a room with stuff and a machine
"don't touch that" Gia said when Reid was extending his hand to touch something
"This guy was a lot of ammo" Morgan said opening a trunk
"I know" she answered "Can you find his laptop?" she asked Corey
"Yeah" he nodded and opened a latch under a table and took out a laptop.
"here"
Gia took it and opened
"You know the password?" Reid asked
"'course I do" she answered and entered the password
"What are you doing?" Morgan asked
"Checking for hunters in Beacon Hills" she answered then groaned "they changed the code"
"What code?" Morgan asked
"Monroe has a network of sorts. It has all the details on the hunters. This guy was in that network until he left Beacon Hills to hunt down Kate. I thought maybe if we got to enter the network we could get to know if any hunter is there right now" she answered
"What are you waiting for? Get Garcia on it!" Morgan chuckled
"I was just gonna do it" she smiled and called her best friend
"Speak and shall be recognized by your Empress mortal" Garcia chimed
"hey can you go through a laptop for me? I'm looking for a network which had it's code changed recently"
"anything for my bestie. Send it"
"Love you too" she chuckled and faced others "Garcia can handle this. We might as well check the garage"
"What garage?" Reid asked
"You wouldn't think that a hunter would only own this bunker, would you?" Corey chuckled
"come on. We have other crime scenes to check too" Gia said
SHERIFF STATION, EVENING
"Anything?" Parrish asked
"Nothing we don't know" Reid answered
"They were poisoned with wolfsbane" Emily said
"What's that?" Morgan asked
"Wolfsbane is a Aconitum commonly known as aconite, monkshood, wolf's bane, leopard's bane, mousebane, women's bane, devil's helmet, queen of poisons, or blue rocket, is a of over 250 of flowering plants. These herbaceous chiefly belong to the mountainous parts of the Northern Hemisphere, growing in the moisture-retentive but well-draining soil of mountain meadows. Most species are extremely poisonous. In mysticism it is believed that a werewolf can be cured by using wolfsbane which can very harmful if not used properly" Reid explained and everyone gawked at him
"It is poisonous to us" Liam summarized for them. Gia rolled her eyes, grabbing a water bottle and settled on a vacant seat
"Look what we found" Lydia and JJ entered and pinned a map of Beacon Hills
"It is a map of telluric currents" Lydia began "ad we pinned down the body locations"
"this is what we got" JJ said. Gia chocked on her drink and stared at the map. So were others in pack
"So….does it mean anything to you?" Rossi asked
"You bet" Stiles answered "It is a spiral. Our symbol of revenge"
"Vendetta" Lydia added
"Malia?" Scott asked
"Nothing suspicious on the liars. Except this. We found it in the lab" she handed her husband an arrow
"Give it here" Gia asked and took the arrow and took a whiff "it smells void"
"Void?" Scott asked
"Mean anything to you?" Hotch asked
The pack shared a look "a kanima smells void" Scott answered
"I thought it has no scents" Gia frowned
"It smells void. Nothing. Emptiness" Hale explained
Gia quickly turned to Liam "Can you talk to the nearby alphas and know who bit new members?"
"On it, bugaboo. Mason, Corey" Liam called and left
"I think it's about time we gave a profile" Hotch looked at Parrish
