A/n hey all... here's the next entry. Thanks to all who continue to follow this "diary," you're all great.

Won't get fooled again.
I am so tired. We went to Florida for a bomber case. Yeah… we had to deal with another bomber and Gideon's only been back a few weeks.
Morgan stayed at Quantico to try and put the bomb fragments together. Hotch said with his ATF background he was the best one to handle it, but I wonder… He's been walking on egg shells around Gideon for the last month. I wonder how long it will be before he trusts Gideon again.
When the case came across my desk, there were two victims. Part of my job was to keep my eye on the news and let the rest of the team know if something changes. I couldn't believe it when another bomb went off on national television. I take that back… I guess I can believe it after September 11th. It's sad. I don't want bombs to go off here, or planes flying into buildings.
Anyway, I found out something interesting about Hotch today. He was telling Elle and me that he was a coin collector as a kid. Now I don't see Hotch as someone that makes others laugh, but his comment about being a bit of a nerd as a kid nearly made me laugh out loud.
Speaking of coins, the bomber, David Walker was a documents forger. Can you believe he killed all those people to get to one little old lady? I ask you again, what is wrong with people?
He sent a bomb to a family. The little girl that picked it up off the porch was nearly killed. What a creep. Hotch said that the mother saw the new conference I did about the packaging and blue lettering. It was nice to know that a press conference did some good.
So Walker was forging Adrian Bale's bombs. It was just - I don't know how to describe it - strange. Imagine the team going after an Adrian Bale groupie. This guy was a real piece of work too. He ran down his wife and Elle was almost run down too. Then he almost blew up Hotch and Elle and the agents that tried to negotiate with him. Thank God Gideon figured out what he was doing.
Adrian Bale made Gideon apologize for getting those agents killed in Boston, before he would help get a bomb disarmed that Walker put around this poor man's neck. Then, after Gideon basically humiliates himself, the guy lies about which wire to cut. They don't call Gideon the best for nothing though. He saw through Adrian Bale and saved the guy.
Gideon looked really happy when I saw him after they took Adrian Bale back to jail. I don't know what Adrian might have said, or what went on, but he looked back to his old self.
Well… enough about work. I got a call from Aunt Gina today. She wants me to come home for either Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. I guess she thinks if she calls in October, Hotch or Gideon will have to okay it. Why can't I make her understand that I can't plan that far in advance with our job?
Oh yeah… I suppose your wondering how my date with Richard from counterterrorism went. Let's just say there's a reason he's still single and leave it at that!
