Nothing really new to say. I appreciate the reviews (as always!). Please keep reviewing, it drives me to write even more!

"Jane Greene, she's the fourth victim this town has seen in a month. She has had the same cause of death as the other three, all of them were aged 17-19. Parents said she went missing after soccer practice last Thursday, she was supposed to come right home, but never made it." JJ announced as she passed out the several folders to the rest of the team who were seated around the large table in the BAU boardroom.

"All were sexually tortured and cause of death was forced head injury with a blunt object." Hotch added as he skimmed over the case.

"All were sexually tortured, yet their clothes were on when the bodies were found. It also appeared that the unsub combed their hair and they weren't placed in any sort of provocative position…" Reid murmured out loud as he rubbed his chin in thought. This case was going to be a brutal one, the entire team could feel it.

"Mr. and Mrs. Greene said Jane had straight A's, she was on the soccer team, the debate team and was vice president of her class. The other victims all had great records, highly respected students…" JJ continued, but suddenly the ring of a cell phone pierced the air and everyone turned to look at Reid who struggled to pull the cell phone out of his pocket.

"Sorry.." He mumbled, embarrassed from all the eyes on him and he quickly checked the caller ID on his phone.

**DANI LEREUX CALLING**

Reid frowned and bit his lip as he debated in his mind if he should be answering it, but after Hotch interrupted and looked at him sternly, Reid turned his phone to 'off' and shoved it back in his pocket, mumbling another apology to his superior as JJ continued with details from the case.

Reid struggled to pay attention, his thoughts were glued to the cell phone which seemed to be burning a hole in his pocket. He hadn't talked to Dani since the strange conversation online the other day and he cursed the fact she was calling right when they were briefing a case.

Suddenly Prentiss elbowed him and he brought his head back to reality and looked at her. She motioned to the door where the rest of the team was exiting and Reid quickly stood up to collect his things and follow behind. The town regarding the case was only 30 minutes away. They would be driving there and discussing the case the entire way.

Hey sis,

God, finally you called! I was afraid you got swept up in the fashion industry and were now a total snob to the rest of the world. It was good to talk to you, although I have to admit that talking to you and Aunt Hélene only make me miss home that much more. Don't get me wrong, it was still great talking to you! Don't worry though, Christmas is around the corner and will be here before you know it. I'll be coming back to France for Christmas break, and you'd better have some good presents for me!

School's been good, a little tougher than I had anticipated though. It's hard to study when you're living with your best friend and all you want to do is stay up all night and chat.

You sounded a little strange on the phone the other night. Have you been getting enough sleep? Kind of sounded like you were getting sick, maybe you should stay at home and rest for a couple days.

Anyways, I have to get going here sis, talk to you soon!

Dani drifted back into consciousness and seen a blinking light from the corner of her eye. The pill she had taken earlier had taken effect quickly due to her empty stomach. The lack of sleep had finally caught up with her and fatigue mixed with the little white tablet had cast her tired mind into bouts of unconsciousness for the last couple hours.

She struggled to sit up and stretched her arm outwards, towards the blinking green light. She finally reached it and touched the smooth front cover of her cell phone and pulled it in front of her face. Her eyes took a moment to adjust to the caller ID.

**SPENCER REID CALLING**

The phone suddenly stopped vibrating in her hand and the little green light stopped blinking so urgently. It was the third time in the last two hours she had seen those words, and each time she seemed to reach the phone too late.

Dani set the phone down, feeling defeated and suddenly too tired to move. She bargained with herself, she would take a quick nap and then get up to do something. That seemed reasonable.

"Hey, thanks for the ride and all." Reid greeted Morgan as he slid into the passenger's side of the black SUV. He dropped his messenger bag on the floor and held his sweater in his lap as he brought the traveller's mug filled with coffee to his lips.

"Jesus Reid, you look like shit. You feeling alright?" Morgan replied as he looked at Reid in mock horror before bringing the SUV into gear.

Reid nodded silently as he sipped the hot coffee. "Yeah, I'm just… Tired, that's all." He replied, continuing to stare out the front window.

Morgan glanced over to his colleague in concern, but when Reid didn't say anything else, he just focused on the road as they made the short drive to the BAU.

CALLING DANI LEREUX…

"Bonjour, vous avez atteint le répondeur automatique de Dani Lereux. Je ne suis pas ici ainsi laissez en ce moment s'il vous plaît un message et je rendrai votre appel aussitôt que je peux. Hi, you've reached the voicemail of Dani Lereux. I'm not here right now, so please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can…"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

"Hey, Emily, can I talk to you for a sec?" Reid asked uncomfortably as he walked up to Emily Prentiss' desk. She looked up at him and he shifted awkwardly as he bit his lip.

"Sure, what is it?" Prentiss asked and motioned for him to sit down beside her. The rest of the team was dispersed, it was only Reid and Prentiss in the bullpen at that rare moment.

Reid sat down quickly and pulled his cell phone from his pocket, fiddling with is in his lap as he debated what to say.

"Um, I received a voicemail sometime last night.. From Dani? I… I didn't know my phone was shut off and when I turned it on this morning… I found… Well, it… I don't really know what it is, I thought maybe you could listen..?" He stammered and suddenly held out the open cell phone to Emily.

She frowned in confusion but grabbed the cell phone from him anyways, holding it up to her ear after he pressed the number 1. Reid watched her face as she reacted to the voicemail, first she frowned deeper, then looked confused, then her eyes went still as she tried to study the voice on the other end.

"It's all in French… I think…" Reid finally said after she pulled the phone from her ear.

"Yeah.. Let me listen again…" Emily said and pressed the 1 again. She listened harder as the voice spoke frantically on the other end.

Reid waited patiently, tightly clasping his hands together in his lap as he watched Emily shake her head.

"She said something about… Prescription? Or pharmacy… And something about a bar… And pavement or driving… I'm not sure…"

Prentiss snapped the phone shut and looked at Reid, the frown still visible on her face.

"It's hard to understand, she was talking very fast and she was crying pretty hard, I could only catch a few words." Prentiss admitted and studied Reid. The worry showed on his face and he was biting the inside of his lip as he stared off to a various spot on Prentiss' desk.

"Should we be worried…?" Reid asked tentatively after snapping back to reality and he accepted the cell phone back from Emily.

"I'm not sure…" Prentiss admitted, then her eyes suddenly cast behind Reid and she raised her eyebrows. "But I don't think we have a lot of time to think about it…"

Reid frowned and turned in his chair to see Hotch and JJ walking briskly towards the bullpen with a case file in hand. Reid rolled his eyes and sighed out loud.

"Don't worry, Reid. Let's just leave it for now, we'll talk about it later, ok?" Prentiss said to him in a low voice as Hotch announced a new case.
