'Jim, do you mind giving me a reason you're holding my client?' Tubbs's lawyer, Paul asked after talking to Tubbs.

'We were looking for someone who was part of the campus, who had motive and opportunity and injected himself into the investigation' Jim explained.

'So you had a hunch' Paul stated.

'We have a comprehensive psychological profile. Your client fits exactly' Gideon explained.

'You did tell him we deal in facts here, right?' Paul asked.

'Don't be a jackass, Paul. I invited him here' Jim said.

'My client was working during each of the murders' Paul said.

'He was present at every scene' Jim argued.

'Because it's his job. There's not one witness placing him anywhere near one of the murders. There's not a shred of physical evidence' Paul said.

'Your client was apprehended with a young woman. She fits the description of each of the victims' Gideon said.

'Could you imagine the uproar on this campus if a brunette woman was killed and people found out a security guard let her walk to her car alone?' Paul asked before Morgan motioned for Gideon to come outside.

'Excuse me' Gideon said following Morgan.

'Did you get Tubbs' psych eval?' Gideon asked.

'Yep. Police shrink diagnosed him borderline with antisocial and sociopathic tendencies' Morgan explained.

'He's gonna be all over me. I need to make a decision' Jim said walking into the room.

'You can hold him for 72 hours without charging him. What do you think, Gideon?' Morgan asked.

'I think only a guilty man can lay his head down and sleep when he's facing 3 murder charges. It's physically exhausting- the killing, the secrets, evading the police. It's almost a relief when you don't have to hide anymore' Gideon said simply as they walked back out to Paul.

'Tell me you're doing the right thing' Paul said.

'We're holding him for 72 hours' Jim stated.

…

'Everyone is so much younger than I remember being' JJ said as Lilith, Reid and JJ walked through the campus.

'It's a weird age. You want to be treated like an adult, but you're still used to someone else solving your problems for you' Lilith said laughing.

'All I remember is trying to figure out who I was' JJ said.

'All I remember is trying to hide who I was' Lilith muttered.

'Hey, JJ' Reid said as Katie and Alisa walked over to them.

'Hey, there's a rumour going around that you caught the guy. Is it—is it true?' Alisa asked.

'We have someone in custody' JJ said.

'Thank you' Alisa said hugging JJ.

'I'm going to get some rest' Lilith said before walking off.

'Hey Reid, uh, I don't mean to pry but is something going on between you and Lilith? Did you guys have another fight?' JJ asked.

'Oh, um…' Reid started to say.

'You don't have to tell me' JJ said.

'No, I need some advice actually. I… I kind of, kissed Lilith' Reid stuttered and JJ's face lit up.

'That's awesome! Wait, then why is things so weird? Did she not return it?' JJ asked worried.

'No, she did and it was great but we were interrupted by her getting a text message and she had to leave suddenly. Since then she has hardly talked or even looked at me' Reid explained.

'Did you try to talk to her?' JJ asked.

'Yeah, she said that it had nothing to do with the kiss and she just needs some time' Reid said sadly.

'She returned the kiss, right?' JJ asked.

'Yeah' Reid said smiling at the memory.

'Then trust her and give her the time she needs' JJ said simply.

….

The next morning the team heard about another attack. Morgan, JJ, Reid, Lilith and Gideon all arrived at the crime scene.

'Griffith, we gotta get this barrier pushed back. We're getting pressed' Morgan said quickly.

'Joe, give me 10 more feet on the tape, huh?' Jim ordered.

'I thought you had someone in custody' Suzanne said.

'We do' Jim replied.

'Ma'am, can you help me with the students?' JJ asked.

'How?' Suzanne asked.

'Tell them we understand that they're upset, but we need room to do our job' JJ explained before they walked off.

'I guess we can release Tubbs after all' Jim said to Gideon.

'Well, I think that'd be a mistake' Gideon said.

'What are you talking about?' Jim asked.

'I don't think it was the same killer' Gideon said.

'You gotta be kidding me' Jim said annoyed.

'She has blunt-force trauma to the head. She was knocked out, not tasered' Lilith said.

'She's a brunette, stabbed to death on this campus' Jim argued.

'These stab wounds are shallow. They're hesitation marks. Whoever killed her either wasn't sure they wanted to be killing, or they never tried it before' Reid continued.

'There are no defensive wounds, just like every other victim' Jim said.

'That's not surprising, considering the head wound' Lilith said.

'Excuse me. Sir, uh, this was dropped at the precinct. There were no prints on it' A local said handing Jim a piece of paper.

'"He's innocent. I'm still out here." Now do you believe we have the wrong guy?' Jim asked.

'The first unsub showed remorse. He wouldn't brag about or flaunt his latest kill' Reid said.

'I don't believe this' Jim said annoyed.

'This victim wasn't posed. The papers never included details about the bodies. If this was a copycat, he could only do it the way he assumed the first killer did' Gideon said.

'Look, I asked you guys here because I needed your help. You're the experts, but right now, it sounds to me like you're trying to cover your own asses' Jim said.

'Hey, look around. This is not the place for this conversation' Morgan said firmly.

'I am so sorry' JJ said walking over to Katie.

'You said you caught him' Katie said angrily.

'I-I said we had someone in custody' JJ corrected.

'Alisa's dead and you're arguing over wording?' Katie snapped.

'No. I-I'm so sorry' JJ said before Katie spat on her.

'You need to keep people out of here, man' Reid snapped running over to JJ.

'What? I'm fine. It's nothing' JJ said hurriedly.
