The moment Hotch, Morgan, and Garcia heard about what happened at the station they'd jumped in a van and drove over. Morgan nearly took out a couple standing to close to the road with the 380 he pulled turning back to the station.

"What do you mean?" He asked again, nodding at the bird the man on the street threw at him.

"Orbus just hit the floor flailing, like someone was beating him! And then when I helped him up Reid hit him again. It was insane!"

"So where is Reid now?"

"I... don't know. Orbus can see him but I'm guessing he's keeping as far away from him as possible. Orbus says he can hear him yelling sometimes so I guess he hasn't left yet."

"How is this possible?" Morgan asked.

"I dunno. I called Ivona earlier. She's driving down to see if she can bridge this... uh... "Spiritual Gap" as Orbus called it. I think Reid'll talk to her."

"What about JJ? Is Will on his way?"

Prentiss was silent.

"You haven't told him?"

"We... didn't wanna raise his hopes."

"I see." Morgan said, running a light.

Reid walked around the little office at the station, looking at photos of all the burned corpses and pictures of regular people right next to them. JJ walked a few steps behind him. suddenely she stopped and pointed at the group shot. She placed her finger on Tiffany Goldebourne.

"I saw her." JJ said. "Right before Lyssa showed up and you got her to break that mirror."

"You think it means something?" Reid asked.

"Maybe?" JJ shrugged, "I don't know."

"That's interesting." Someone said behind them.

Ivona leaned against the door frame, a black leather jacket folded up in her arms. She smiled at both of them.

Reid stepped infront of JJ, gently pushing her fully behind him, "Who are you?"

"I'm Ivona." Ivona smiled, her teeth highlighted surrounded by the dark lipstick. "We spoke before. You guys nearly killed Em."

Reid nodded, "Ah, sorry about that."

Ivona laughed.

"Anyway, what are you doing here?" Reid asked.

"Well since the only other person who can see you is Orbus and he gets beaten everytime you get near him I'm here to talk to you." Ivona said, walking in. "So," she placed her jacket on the table and marched over to Reid, leaning on his shoulder. Or atleast mimed doing so. She couldn't really feel him, "What's up? Any psycotic witches in your life lately?"

Reid smiled and he stepped out from under her. JJ walked back over to the board.

"So who is Lyssa?" JJ asked. "I thought she was the one behind all this."

Ivona smiled, "You sure you don't wanna hear Obrbus tell it. He gives it that tragic taste. Makes the whole story that much sweeter."

Reid stared at her, "That a-"

"Reid!" JJ hit him, although he was so angry he didn't notice.

"-stole my body! He tried to kill me too! The only thing Im gonna do when I see him is kick-"

"Reid!"

"-back to his well deserved grave!"

Ivona nodded, "Impressive statement."

Reid nodded in satisfaction.

"Now." Ivona said, stepping closer to look at the board, "The one behind this whole ghost story come to life is sitting in a holding cell behind Iron bars waiting for someone to get close to her. Her name is Maleficiis. She's as old and ugly as you can imagine and ju8st as powerful."

"Must be powerful." Reid grinned.

"The circus in question is being controlled by her and her evil soul's influence has trapped all the performers she burned in a cursed fire to kill them after the parents of Lyssa denied her access to the little girl. This ugly hag scared the crap out of the nine year old anyway. Orbus and her parents, Tiffany and Richard, are the ones most in danger. Especially her parents. They should be hidden, but if you saw them that means their up to something. Probably the same thing we are but lets be cautious."

"You are a fast talker."

"But wait there's more!" Ivona grinned, "Malifeciis has had the poor Alyssa Goldebourne under her influence, that is to say surrounded with dark magic for so long, she's infected the poor thing. Lyssa is insane! She can't help what she's doing but if she could she'd probably stop."

"Yes she can." Reid said suddenly, "I saw her. She was in my apartment!"

"She's wherever the person she abducts is." Ivona said.

"No! After that! When we were trying to get back here. I woke up in my apartment and she was there watching cartoons!"

"What were the cartoons?" JJ asked out of curiosity.

"I... dont know." Reid shrugged, the cartoons were suddenely a blur in his mind.

Ivona studied him for a few minutes, then nodded and turned to JJ, "And... how did she appear?"

"Like a-Like that!" Reid pointed to Lyssa's obituary photo.

Ivona stared at him, "Really? Wow."

"It's not that surprising."

"And there were no cryptic messages, threats?"

"Course there were threats. I got a call from a woman screaming about a lost baby."

"That was Tiffany Goldbourne!" Ivona cried.

JJ waved her hand, "She called me too."

Ivona paced the room, thinking.

"Does it mean something?" Reid asked.

Ivona storming out of the room and to the holding cells was his answer.

"Apparantly so." He grabbed JJ's wrist, "Come on!"

Orbus sat against the wall, rubbing his head while Malifeciis stared at him through the bricks and concrete.

"I know your staring at me!" He called annoyed.

"Traitor." Malifeciis hissed.

Suddenely Ivona stormed in the room, "What did you do to them?" She cried, yelling at the Witch.

"Who love?" Malifeciis smiled sweetly.

"Tiffany and Richard! The only two that stood in your way of Lyssa!"

"Oh them!" Malifeciis feigned remembrance, "Such a sweet-"

"Shutup hag!" Orbus screamed! "There nothing to you! Answer the freaking question and shut that wrinkly mouth!"

Malifeciis stared at the Ringmaster venomously, "Fine. I destroyed them."

"How?" Ivona asked.

"I..." the Witch was attacked by a fit of giggles, "It was fitting really, I set the others on them. And when they caught up to those two..." She paused to cackle, "Lyssa ATE THEM! She ate their souls! Tore them right to pieces."

JJ covered her mouth falling into Reid who turned slightly green.

Orbus screamed curses and obscenities at the Witch who just sat there smug. Ivona sneered in disgust, "Your sick!"

"No just evil."

Orbus was still screaming.

Ivona shook her head and motioned to the guard to open Orbus' door.

Then she dragged Orbus into the office with all the pinned up pictures.

The rest of the team was back in there. They turned their eyebrows up in surprise when they saw Ivona and Orbus walk in, Ivona dragging the screaming Ringmaster before throwing him at the chair.

"Why are you so angry? You told me what happened!" Ivona cried.

"Yeah but what she said was true!" Orbus cried. "I found them looking like a wild animal had mauled them! It was horrifying! And now that I know why they looked like that..." Orbus had to be held back, he was busy screaming threats at the Witch. Threats they were sure he'd act out on.

Hotch turned to Ivona.

"Are they here?"

Ivona turned and looked behind her. Reid and JJ stood in the doorway, looking unsure at Orbus.

"He wont bite." She grinned at them.

Prentiss turned to look at the room, not sure of where her friends were standing. "Guys?"

JJ smiled and ran over to Prentiss, throwing her arms around her.

Prentiss shrieked, a cold sensation washing over her. Especially her neck and shoulders.

"Its just JJ." Ivona said distractedly. She still had the seething Orbus pinned to the chair.

"Is he gonna be okay?" Morgan asked. It was weird since to him it looked like Reid flailing and screaming in the chair. Even though he knew it was Orbus.

Finally Ivona slapped him. Orbus stopped screaming, making a choking sound before going limp. Ivona got off him and he stood up calmly.

"Thanks." he said before walking over to the board.
