Rossi's POV

"Hello?" I answer when Penelope calls.

"Its Garcia. The UnSub's been identified as Anne. She shot JJ, she's en route to the hospital now, they need backup." She tells me.

"Okay, bye." I reply and she hangs up.

I stare at my phone. I'm not surprised that Anne's the killer, I've never liked her; something about her always felt wrong. I feel sorry for Reid, poor kid. He really loves Anne.

"It's her." I tell Morgan as I rush into the bullpen after making some phone-calls.

"Damn. I new something about her was... Off." He says.

I nod in agreement. "I didn't realize that she was this dangerous though, how could Reid have missed it?" I mutter. How could I have missed it?

A look of realization washed over Morgan. "Reid told me that he was scared of her when they first met. The kid should've trusted his gut..." Morgan trails off as we leave the building and get into fleet vehicles.


Anne's POV

For what's probably the hundredth time, I find myself in Reid's neighbourhood. Right now I can't deny that I'm going crazy. I am crazy.

I can't ask Reid for help; he's a Fed, and Feds don't help serial killers... I outran Hotch, so at least I have that going for me, but I'm really scared right now, I don't know what to do. I have a feeling that Reid's probably home.

I sit on a wall with overhanging shrubs, and unholster my gun. I run my hands over the smooth metal, and stare at my weapon deep in thought. I want to make everything right, but I don't think that I can.

I press my gun to my temple and take a deep breath. But before I can pull the trigger, something inexplicable makes me stop, and I break down weeping.

"Stay strong Anne, stay strong. You don't want this yet, you have one last thing to do, you just need to stay strong..." I whisper to myself a few times, and then I wipe the tears from my eyes as I stand up.

I cool off as I walk the rest of the way to Spencer's, and when I'm outside his house, I take a deep breath and brace myself; brace myself to tell him everything... I place my fist against the wood and knock. There's no turning back now.


A/N: I'll post the next chapter as soon as someone has reviewed this one (:
