Disclaimer: I own nadda. As usual.

Officially, I'm done with exams tomorrow and I'm happy. And if it doesn't snow, someone will very likely die.

I'm fully aware it's short. But I updated at least.

I only own my own characters.


Marena walked over drawing a figure eight on its side. "This is the symbol of infinity." She turned back to the agents. "He's not done. He's binding his past murders. He's not going to stop until every one of them is laid to rest."


Gideon stood before the police and detectives for the second time this week. "New profile. In light of the recent discoveries we have a new profile."

One of the officers groaned. "We're back to square one?"

Hotch strode forward shaking his head. "Not quite. He's still a white male the main thing that has changed is his age. Instead of late teens to early twenties, we're looking at mid twenties to mid thirties. He was active in the area and may have faded back in the last five years or so. He's deeply involved in the arts, primarily music both vocal and instrumental. He might try passing himself off as a music critic."

Gideon nodded all through this and spoke up when Hotch finished. "Above all he has a god-like complex. He feels you owe him for taking up his time." He shook his head. "He didn't kill these girls because he loved them. He was using them as binders for his original killings. These first girls? He killed them out of a mix of passion and jealously. If he's killing girls now to clear his conscience and keep his first victims safe he obviously knew them. Once we have IDs, look through the missing person's interviews. You'll defiantly have interviewed this man. When this started, he was just your regular concerned citizen. Helped out on the search, maybe even instated a fund." He paused. "More importantly he'll work in a church. Either as a lecturer or possibly an alter server."

With that, Gideon walked out the door, Hotch and the other agents close at his heels.


Gideon, Reid, and J.J. sat in a small coffee shop near the school waiting for their symbol experts.

J.J. moved slightly from their booth in the far corner to look out the window. "I think they're here."

Gideon and Reid strained their necks to look out the large glass window at two cars pulling in. One was a black VW Golf. The other a black Mini Cooper with a large '8' on the side to make it look like a pool ball. Marena got out of the golf while Luci and Christine moved out of the Mini.

The door chimed as they entered. They placed in their drink orders saying hi to the people behind the counter before heading to the booth.

Marena scooted to the corner with Christine in the middle and Luci on the end. Once they were situated, she took out a piece of paper covered in symbols and written notes. "So these are the symbols we've found." She pointed to the three small symbols situated on the large infinity sign. "All are connected to the infinity sign."

Christine took the paper and grabbed a pink marker circling each of the symbols. "All these symbols have shown love and femininity. There's just one minor thing." She took out a blue marker and drew three circles opposite every pink one. To the left there was a pink circle on top, resting on the curve of the infinity loop with a blue circle mirroring it below. To the right there was a blue circle on top with a pink one mirroring it on the bottom. In the middle, Christine had intertwined the two circles. "The infinity symbol states balance. It was a math symbol so, addition and subtraction."

Marena nodded. "Multiplication and division."

Luci took the paper. "And more importantly masculine and feminine."

Gideon's phone rang and he excused himself to answer it.

J.J. sighed. "This is a nightmare."

Christine sighed. "Not exactly how we hoped to help out in investigations. Not when they were people we knew."

J.J. gave the girls a smile. "I'm sure you girls would rather be doing a hundred other things today rather than being here."

Marena shrugged. "It's my day off but my boyfriend doesn't get off till this afternoon. We'll catch a movie later. Nothing much else to do."

Christine smiled. "I rearranged my room last night and talked on the phone with Tom all night."

Luci rolled her eyes. "Ah, Tom's back in the picture I see. I think you owe me money on this one."

Christine grumbled handing her the money. "Psychic loser."

Reid raised an eyebrow. "Psychic?"

Luci just smiled. "Nothing like it sounds. I just happen to be greatly empathetic. I can stop out emotions for a mile away. Not always for myself but I can tell people who are attracted to each other and when someone is lying. A bit like what you do, but mine isn't based on nervous twitches or anything, although that helps." She smiled at J.J. than back to Reid. "So how long have you two been seeing each other outside of work?"

Reid's eyes widened a bit while J.J. looked taken aback. As a PR, she usually didn't show herself shocked very much. "How did you-"

Luci just laughed. "It's a natural talent. Doesn't really help me in anyway but it's a fun little parlor trick."

Gideon walked back over with their drinks, his face slightly tighter than before. "They IDed three bodies so far." He looked at the paper and back to the girls. "Two were male. Disappeared six years ago from your brother school. They were in the same youth orchestra, so was the third body, female. All from Milford."
Marena sighed taking a sip of her coffee. "He doesn't even have a location pattern."

Christine started doodling on the paper then stopped looking at Luci. "Uh, Luci."

Luci looked over the paper and took a pen out of her hair, drawing out a treble staff on the other side. She held the paper up to the light so that the circles bled through the other side onto the treble staff. They fit onto the treble staff and the infinity symbol perfectly. Luci turned her face to Gideon. "You said he works at a church? Look for the choir director." She looked back down at the paper. "Side note. He's extremely emotional; don't be too surprised if he burst into tears if you mention the girls." She noticed Christine and Marena starting at her. "What?"

Marena shook her head. "Trying to tell them how to do their job?"

Luci rolled her eyes. "Trying to let them know this guy is going to look like he'll break down a lot easier than he will." She pointed to the paper. "What does this tell you?"

Marena took another sip of coffee. "It tells me not only is he a choir director he also runs a youth group."

Christine smiled. "Because it's one of the few church functions where there's both female and male interaction. In addition, it gives him a full view to listen to these kids sing and play their instruments. Even gave him an alibi to see them whenever. He was probably in youth group with them when he was younger. He kept active in church, making it look like his faith grew when all the disappearances occurred. He probably comforted the families and held vigils."

Reid looked thoughtful. "Are you trying to say he's some kind of vigilante? He punished these original victims then felt bad afterward?"

Marena looked at her friends. "Just the opposite. He killed them because he saw them as a gift to god. The sooner they died; the sooner god could listen and enjoy them himself."

J.J. was intrigued. "So why not simple Christian symbols?"

Luci's lips twitched. "He's a theologist. He found different ways to pray and revere different gods. He's using every religion he can think of to revere his god in every possible way."

Gideon looked exhausted but allowed himself a small smile. "Now I understand why Morgan has been referring to you three as the Reidettes." His smile slowly fell and he stood. "As nice as this has been we still have a killer to find." He paused turning to the girls. "Where does he live?"

Christine was taken aback. "But you're the profiler."

Marena smiled. "He already knows. He's testing us."

Christine's lips made an O. "Right. Well you said the first three victims were from Milford. So, if they went to the same church you are looking at someone who lived in Milford at the time of the disappearances defiantly. As for where he lives now?" Her eyes flicked to Luci who nodded to her encouragingly. "He still lives in Milford. Works at the same parish. Can probably tell you every detail about the original disappearances and the people themselves. He will elaborate on how musically gifted they were. He's defiantly still in the same area. Never left for college. Maybe did some night classes, or just took online courses, but never went away for long."

Gideon smiled. "I think we have to start recruiting in Connecticut. They train the girls very well here."

Marena laughed. "It's the nutmeg."


A/N:

Okay apology time. I know I'm looking a bit like an ass for not getting reviews but I will explain myself. I've been under a lot of stress lately and adding to that I've had exams and that doesn't exactly light my mood. In fact, I wrote four pages to answer questions for a religion exam, which was a load of bullshit seeing as the fact our teacher grades us on whether or not he approves of us. Which I guess is good as long as I answer any annoying questions in class.

Anyway, things are starting to lighten up so I'll start this up again.

I didn't only stop writing because of the lack of reviews; I just wanted to make that clear.

So thanks to my other reviewer:

Mystic01: Hope you accept my little apology. I know it's short but I thought a little update was better than none.
