If I haven't said it before, I'll say it now. There are some crazy people out there. Working with the team has taught me some important things about human behavior, but I still don't understand some people.
We had a case involving whole families. At first it looked like murder-suicide and then a second family was killed. They were all supposed to be on vacation, which is why no one missed them for five days.
We thought that the perpetrator was the ex-husband of one of the women. He was abusive, which is why she left him. He was caught by the police with blood on his clothes that turned out to be from his kids.
I know it's not funny, but you should have seen the look on Spence's face when Gideon told him to talk to this guy. It was all I could do not to laugh. He looked like he'd been sentenced to the firing squad. I don't blame him. Elle told me about this guy and he was really big. Elle said that for a minute it was like David and Goliath in the interrogation room. She seemed pretty impressed that Spence was able to get him to talk.
I'm not surprised… He may bore everyone with some of the obscure facts he knows, but I know Spence could probably charm the birds out of the trees if he wanted to. I mean all you have to do is look into those eyes and…
Okay… so how did I get from the case to Spence's eyes. Didn't we make a bargain that I wasn't going to think about them?
Anyway… it turned out that the person responsible was a family therapist that thought he was punishing fathers for not being strong heads of family. He killed the kids first, and then the wives, and then the husbands. He made the fathers watch the rest of their family die. Sadistic little creep!
I have to give Gideon credit. He played the little bug like a bad violin. He told me to put up some of the crime scene photos, and to arrange them so that some of the photos from one family were mixed up with the other family.
I couldn't help from crying a little at the sight of those small little feet. How can anyone be so heartless and cruel? It's no wonder his family left him. It must have been hell to live with him.
He came in and he had the nerve to act like an arrested rock star. He tried to flirt with me and it made me sick. Gideon was right though, he couldn't stand to see the crime scene photos mixed up and he confessed.
I thought that was the worst of it till Hotch found the box with all those wedding bands. He killed eight different families. I'm just glad the team saved the last family.
I wanted a shower in the worst way when it was all over and I think everyone else felt the same way. It was terrible to see those gold bands just lying there on the conference table. I'm lucky though, I can shut out the picture in my head if I want. I guess Spence has to remember it whether he wants to or not. I never thought of that before. How awful to not be able to shut out the things you've seen, no matter how wonderful or abhorrent.
Oh… I almost forgot. Mrs. Hotchner brought the baby in today. He was so cute! Hotch actually smiled. Spence said something about "if you find baldness and wrinkles attractive," why does he have to be so literal all the time? Can't he just see that babies are cute no matter how old they are? I bet it would be different if he was the father. Wow… okay, I'm going to that scary place again! Garcia asked Morgan if he wanted a child and he said he'd stick to practicing. I wonder if he'll ever see that she's head over heels for him.
Jackie called me today. She and Angela are going to be here this weekend. She wants to get together for lunch. I think I'll take them up on it. It will be good to see old teammates from college again. It's just what I need to take my mind off this case.
