No Way Out: Part 1

Christmas was great this year, because I got to spend it with Spence, and we didn't get interrupted with a case. I made him go Christmas shopping with me. He still claims that he hated every minute of it, but he forgets that I was there, and I saw how excited he was when I found a shop specializing in magic tricks. He loved the magic kit I bought for him.

Spence bought me a pair of earrings that were shaped like little golden butterflies. They're so beautiful. I never would have believed he could pick something out that was so special, but I underestimated him just like everyone else. I feel really bad about that and I'm going to make sure I don't doubt him again.

It's only been seventeen days since the New Year and we were faced with our greatest challenge so far. The team got called to Nevada. Some remains of a body were found off of I-80. They connected with remains found there ten years ago. In fact, this un-sub's career went back thirty years.

The team went to Golconda Nevada and I stayed back at Quantico to help Garcia sort through all the names and locations of the disappearances. There were so many, it made my stomach turn. We mapped them all out. After the analysis of the bodies found in Nevada, we determined that they'd been drugged with Ketamine. He'd paralyze them and then cut off their limbs while they were still alive.

The sheriff of Golconda led the team to a woman called Jane. She told Gideon, Emily and Spence a story about how an alien had abducted her one night. Of course it was her way of coping with getting kidnapped by a psycho. Apparently she didn't show any fear so he let her go. Then he decided he was in love with her and kept coming back all those years to see her.

This time, we caught up with him so he decided that he wanted to take her with him. He kidnapped the sheriff while after Jane, but Spence, Emily and Hotch found her alive thank God.

Spence told me after they got back that he'd never seen anything like the un-sub's trailer. He said it made his blood run cold. Emily told me all about his lecture on love chemicals. I think I'll take chocolate over peas any day. But, I'll have to remember that for future reference.

The un-sub, or Frank, had kidnapped the children of the town and left them stranded in the desert before Morgan and Gideon caught up with him in the diner. He wanted Jane and used them to get her. He claimed to be in love with her and she thinks she loves him. Emily said it was creepy to see them together

Frank made Gideon take him and Jane to the desert and let them go before he'd tell him where the kids were. Gideon found the kids, but Frank and Jane disappeared, literally. They just walked into the desert and their footprints just stopped. We still don't know how they got away. I've never seen Gideon so upset. I can't say as I blame him. Frank is dangerous and who knows what he'll do now. Gideon said that Frank said he won't kill as long as he has Jane. I have to go with the team on this one, he will kill again, and he won't be able to stop.

When I got back to apartment after endless paperwork from the case, I found a champagne bottle chilling in a bucket on the kitchen counter, and Spence sitting on my couch with a box of chocolates on the coffee table. He said there was a new can of peas in the cabinet in the kitchen if we needed it.

So did we need it? Nope, the can is still in the cabinet and Spence is sleeping. I think I'll go wake him up.
