A/n The disc that has this episode doesn't work very well... I think it's scratched, so the episode details maybe wrong as I did this from memory and from a recap on a CM website. Please keep that in mind when reading.

Machismo

My Aunt Gina called me on Saturday. I didn't want to talk to her when the phone rang. I was right in the middle of scouring my kitchen and my refrigerator. I had finished with the bathroom and still had my living room to clean. Cleaning always helps me to get my mind off of all the stuff that builds up from work. Now going to work has become a torture. The last week passed without a big case and we've all been hanging out at the office. It's hard to avoid Spencer and Morgan, and his knowing grin in the office.

Anyway, I'm going to have the cleanest house on the block when this weekend is through. So far I don't feel any better.

Aunt Gina wanted to talk about my cousins wedding and my grandmother who broke her hip a week ago. She wants me to come back home and visit and she wants to talk about Henry. I can't bring myself to tell her that he broke up with me. If I go back there again, she'll pry it out of me. She'll lecture me about driving all my boyfriends away. I can't listen to her say it. She doesn't understand!

Why are families so hard to deal with? Someone told me once that you don't pick your family, you can pick your friends buy family is written in the stars.

We got a request two days ago to go to Mexico. Over the last two years, there were eleven elderly women killed. The papers were saying that it was a serial killer. The government didn't want to admit that was a possibility. They think that serial murders are solely an American phenomenon. Gideon told us about the most prolific serial killer of the last century on the plane and he was Russian so it can't just be an American thing.

Hotch didn't look very happy on the plane. I think his wife was mad that we got called away on our day off. He wanted to know how you say "dog house" in Spanish. Spence said it for him, and Elle teased him about his pronunciation, saying that he was only a genius in English. It was kind of funny and also strangely comforting knowing that Spence doesn't know everything.

We met up with Captain Navarro. He knew Gideon from taking a seminar in profiling years ago. They seemed to get along really well.

He already had a suspect in custody. It was the most recent victim's son. It turned out not to be him because he's gay and Gideon said the killer must be heterosexual.

Hotch was furious that Captain Navarro didn't tell us that he knew that man couldn't be the killer. Hotch hates to be used for political purposes and I don't blame him. They must have come to some understanding because we stayed on.

Elle said the female Attorney General wasn't someone to mess with either. She didn't want us there except to tell them that they didn't have a serial killer and of course she was wrong.

Elle told me that Garcia called up trying to flirt with Morgan in Spanish I think. He teased her about her lack of Spanish skills. Apparently her step father's name is Garcia, no Latino genes.

I arranged a press conference after the cops there took us too literally and rounded up all the transvestites. You see, because of some of the clues the team found, they determined that the killer was a cross dresser. We needed to talk to any women that might have been raped by someone like that. It was thought he started out as a rapist.

There was one woman that Elle and one of the locals talked to that said he tried to rape her. She laughed at him when she saw that he was wearing a dress. So the guys thought that was his stressor.

She got six other women to come forward and the police found that four of them worked in a factory. That's where they found a man called Pablo who the team thought was the killer. Elle told me that they found the dead body of his mother sitting in front of the television. He'd given her all the jewelry he'd taken from the body. Elle said it was right out of "Psycho," the way she was preserved.

It was Navarro that figured out the name of the victims were the same, and the killer was killing the mother's of his victims in the same order as he raped them.

Elle told me all about how they went to the next name on the list and found the killer beaten and stabbed. It was the women he victimized that took him out. The Attorney General refused to press charges. She said they were only protecting their homes.

I guess family is important. Maybe I should call my aunt back and talk to her. My aunt may be a little nosy, but she cares about me. Should I tell her how I messed it up with Henry?

Morgan told me on the way back that Spence told him he called Lila and that they're emailing each other. I don't care and I don't know why Morgan would think that I do. What's he doing talking about Spencer's little romance anyway? I'm sure it won't last. I mean, who can have a long distance relationship with his kind of job and her career.

The problem is that Spence is a great guy. What if she thinks so too and decides that the long distance part isn't so bad? What do I care? It would be great for him to have a girlfriend to help with the stress of the job. I should be happy for him, right. Why do I suddenly feel like crying?
