The FBI profilers examined all the photographs from all the scenes. They went to the morgue to observe the bodies, looked over the toxicology and DNA reports, observed the collection of trash cans and read the note.
"We're going to need to talk to Detective Monroe." Agent Fitzpatrick announced.
"She's in the hospital." A voice announced from the doorway.
"This Danny Messer, Danny this is Agent Fitzpatrick and Agent Kenton. Stella and Hawkes took the rest of their team to look at some of the locations." Mac explained. "How's Lindsay?"
"We managed convince her parents this was an accident and that it would be a good idea if they went to go and visit Becky. They're packing now, I said I'd go back in an hour and drive them to the airport, the car is staying outside her apartment until then."
"Good." Mac agreed.
"We still need to talk to her Detective."
"The doctor gave her something to help her sleep." Danny stated. "It won't be for a few hours."
"You haven't taken a statement."
"I don't think 'I don't remember anything after ten thirty yesterday and when I woke up this morning' is really that helpful. Then she had a flashback this afternoon but gloves, a hat, a trench coat and a grey beard are really helpful but a defence lawyer will tear that to pieces in less than a minute. But she did write it all down and signed it. She says she'll type up an official copy tomorrow because I have lousy typing skills."
Mac's cell phone rang.
" Taylor… I'll have someone over there….Bye." He hung up. "Gentlemen we've shown you everything we have now we have other cases."
"We need the note." Fitzpatrick stated.
"You can keep the copy we provided you with but we have our graphologist coming to take a look at it and she'll need the original. Danny can see you out."
"You're kicking us out?" Fitzpatrick questioned.
"We have processed all the evidence and found nothing that will help you solve this case it is down to detective work which leaves it up to NYPD." Mac stated. "You have copies of everything we have. We'll let you know the results of the graphologist's findings but right now we have work to do. So Danny." Mac prompted.
"Right this way gentlemen." Danny stepped back to let them out.

"So Mac threw the FBI out?" Hawkes asked Stella as they began process their new scene.
"Mac's not a big fan of the FBI." Stella shrugged. "Besides unfortunately we've done everything we can in this case. We've process all the evidence and we don't have anything to go on, if Flack and friends can find us the location of where they were killed we can process it and hopefully find something to get this guy but at this point there isn't much more we can do other than keep an eye on Lindsay."
"Having a serial killer write her a note is a little Silence of the Lambs for me." Hawkes admitted.
"Lindsay will be okay. She's got Danny to fall back on."
"You know you can tell that he loves by the way he talks about her."
"Who would have thought a year ago?" Stella commented. "But she's good for him."
"That's what I told him."

When Lindsay woke up there were two men in dark suits she didn't recognise, but on the positive side her headache was almost gone.
"Who exactly are you and why are you in my room?" Lindsay inquired.
"Special Agents Cabot and Heggan with the BAU of the FBI." Cabot introduced them.
"I can't tell you anything." Lindsay sat herself up.
"Just tell us what you remember." Heggan stated.
"The night before my boyfriend and I had dinner with my parents but he got called away on a work matter. Since my parents are visiting and have taken over my apartment, I'm staying at his place. Since he wasn't there and one of the men in his apartment building gives me the creeps, I went back to work after dinner and caught up on my paperwork and then helped Detective Messer and Dr Hawkes out by running the 103 prints they got from their scene all of which apart from two belong to their victim. I left around 3.30. I was back by 8, since Detective Messer and Dr Hawkes had to drive out to West Point to interview their suspect Detective Taylor asked me to finish processing the last of their evidence in the case. I called them with their results. Since Detectives Taylor and Bonasera were at another scene. I took the call when a severed head was found by a dog in China Town. I was waiting for the elevator when Detective Flack came by he was looking for Detective Messer, I explained to him where he had gone. We talked for a few minutes, he asked where I was going, I told him. He insisted on coming with me because there was something going on in China Town, I told him I was taking my own car we got in the elevator and I don't remember anything after that."
"Nothing?"
"No. I woke up this morning with a raging headache having lost about twenty hours. At the lab Dr Hammerback took a blood sample which they ran a toxicology report on which showed traces of Rohypnol. I slept on Detective Taylor's couch while Detective Messer tried to figure out how I'd been dosed. Once he'd done that I went to my office and did a little research trying to find a link between clean alleys, Rohypnol, trash cans and decapitated bodies. Since I couldn't find anything, Detective Messer and I went over to see if we could help anymore with IDing the victims. The note was delivered there which Detective Messer opened and we put it into evidence bags before we read it. Back at the lab I was feeling worse so Dr Hawkes recommended that I come to the hospital. I've been here ever since."
"There was something about a flash back." One of them prompted.
"A two second flash of brown leather gloves, a brown trench coat, a brown hat and a grey beard. It's not coherent and I don't remember anything else."
