The Tonova-Lambert Household

Morgan knocks on the door of the house that belongs to their new 'person under surveillance'. They couldn't really call her a suspect or next victim. They hadn't met her yet.

A tall and regal-looking woman answers the door, "Nina Tonova?" asks Prentiss, "Yes. Well, that's my maiden name. I'm Nina Lambert now." The woman replies. She looks fearful, "Does this have to do with my friends?" she asks. Prentiss and Morgan both nod, "I'm afraid so," says Prentiss.

"How did you get my address? Can he…find me too?" "Ma'am I assure you, we have a computer whiz back in Quantico. This unsub can't track you down. What do you mean by he?" Morgan responds. Nina is still fretful, "Oh dear," she murmurs, "You'd best come inside."

The Beck Household

"I heard about my friends…but I'm not in danger, am I?" Millicent, in contrast to Nina's worried behaviour, is sitting on the couch with Hotch and Rossi on a different couch across from her. She's offered them tea but they've declined, so she's drinking a cup instead.

"Ms. Beck we aren't sure. Have there been any occurances lately that might lead you to believe that you could be kidnapped next?" Hotch inquires. "Could I?" Millicent counters, "We don't know." Rossi states.

"Ms. Beck, how long have you known the women who have gone missing?" Hotch questions. Millicent presses her lip into a thin, firm, unsmiling line. "I have known them since we were little." "How little?" Rossi wants to know.

Millicent fidgets, "Oh, I don't know – we were kids! Make mud pies, skip jump rope, average young girls. We were best-friends."

"And you dominated." Hotch adds. "Pardon me?" Millicent raises an eyebrow. "You and your friends. You were special. Weren't you? Everyone loved you. You were a group."

"Group, sure. Loved, though?" Millicent shakes her head.

"There was…a man. His name is Mike Finbuckley. He always…followed us. Jessica dated him when we were in high school, and he didn't get the hint when she dumped him. He went after Pat, but she was already engaged to Duncan Cornwall. Becca was always afraid of him. So was I. We all were." Nina informs them.

"Nina, have you seen him around lately?" Prentiss asks. Nina's face droops, "No I…I haven't seen him since my wedding." "Your wedding?" Morgan says.

"Yes. He…followed us to the airport. Said he'd be waiting when I got back. But he…wasn't."

"You never reported him for stalking?" Prentiss inquires. Nina shakes her head, "Should I have done?" "Prentiss, I'm going to call Garcia. You stay with her," Morgan decides and motions towards Nina.

"You've reached sunshine girl, how may I help brighten your day?" Garcia greets Morgan from the other end of the phone.

"Baby doll, I have a name for you to look up." "Shoot," "One Michael Finbuckley." Morgan tells her.

In just moments, Garcia has all the information she can find. "Let's see…he married a woman named Lisa Site before divorcing her just six months later however not before getting her pregnant as he has a son named Alexander…Three months ago he bought a house only forty minutes away from Germantown…Ahh, sorry sweatheart but he's not your guy. He died from an overdose just two weeks ago. Prescription medication." She finishes.

"Before the last two women ever went missing," Morgan sighs.

Germantown Police Department

"It's odd, Principal Anchyent said the girls were a much-adored clique but Millicent claims they weren't popular at all." Reid points out. "How did Nina Lambert act?" Rossi asks Morgan and Emily.

"Distraught. Scared to speak incase she was next. Upset her friends had been taken. Confused." Morgan replies. "That's how I'd act if my best-friends since I was eight had gone missing." JJ says.

Something clicks inside Hotch's mind. "And how wouldn't you act?" he wonders. Reid thinks for a second before coming up with an answer. "Self-assured. Calm. It'd just be another story on the news. You'd be worried but not affected in any way."

Hotch nods, "So what changed to make Millicent Beck act like that?"
