"Now that everyone is here we can begin. If you look at the case file in front of you I took the liberty of gathering all the information we have so far." Dale said as he sat down at the head of the table.

"This is it?" Morgan said incredulously as he held up the thin case file.

"The unsub is smart and so far he's managed to stay under the radar." Dale said with barely contained anger lacing his voice.

"Daisy what do you think?" Hotch said his harsh gaze landing on her.

"Well based on the photos of the victims and crime scenes as well as the limited information we have I think we're dealing with a professional. The unsub was able to abduct four women from highly populated areas without anyone noticing anything. The unsub is compulsively organized which means he plans, prepares and executes his crimes with every possible contingency accounted for. Given that all our victims look strikingly similar in appearance he is just as meticulous in choosing his victims as he is in planning his crimes. I believe the unsub spends weeks or even months planning his crimes and choosing his victim. The unsub stalks his victim learning all their routines and daily habits so he can charm them and prey on their insecurities. I also believe he is in some way disabled or feels inadequate as he uses a knife to control and kill his victims." Daisy said feeling a chill race up her spine under Hotch's harsh glare.

"This guy sounds like a psychopath." Adam said bitterly as he grabbed Sauli's hand

As soon as Adam said that JJ opened her case file, took out the hospital photos of each victim, and tacked them up on the white board with push pins. She grabbed a dry erase marker from the ledge and began writing down the names of each victim and the date of their abduction.

The four girls ranged in age from 14 to 17 but they all had medium length dark blonde hair that curled into ringlets and framed fair skin and crystal blue eyes. They were all of average build.

Daphne Bates - 7th July 2012

Anya Henson - 21st July 2012

Isabella Mann - 4th August 2012

Sarah Anderson - 18th August 2012

Everyone sat in silence studying his or her copy of the case file until Adam letting out shocked gasp broke the silence.

"Daisy, these girls all look like you when you were 15 before you were..." Before Adam could finish his statement, a fist slammed down on the table and Daisy yelled at him to shut up. Everyone snapped their eyes to her, looks of shock and concern burning in their eyes.

"Does this have anything to do with the argument you had with Dale when we first arrived?" Rossi said with a firm yet supporting voice.

Daisy took a deep breath and stood up making her way up to the head of the table to stand beside Dale and Jeff. She shot Adam an icy glare that told him with all the intensity she could muster that he owed her. She glanced around the room at the members of her team as well as her brother, Sauli, Adam, Jeff and Nick and steeled herself under their harsh gazes of anticipation and concern.

"Here goes nothing, Adam is right they do look like me when I was 15 which was before I changed my looks and dyed my hair. I changed my looks and dyed my hair because I did not want to remember the worst day of my life every time I look into a mirror." Daisy said with a blank stare, she tried to blink back tears.

Daisy planted her hands on the table for support and took a calming breath before hardening her resolve.

"In fact those girls look more like me than I care to admit. The give scars he gave them on their abdomen and side I have them too. My boyfriend raped and stabbed me when I was 15. We are dealing with a copycat because I killed the original rapist in a blackout rage during the attack. Garcia I know you can find the old case file; you have my permission to find it and display it on the big screen behind me. I am believe I am the key to this case and you need all the facts surrounding my case if we're going to catch this man." Daisy said. Her voice filled with bluntness and a hint of relief.

Garcia did as told and Daisy walked back over to the other end of the table to stand in between Adam and Reid, too anxious to sit down. She glanced around the room for a third time to read everyone's expression but found they were looking at her with expressions of pain and shock, not pity like she feared. She knew deep down where the remains of her tattered soul lie that she would never truly, except that she was the victim of a violent crime.

Oddly enough though she still felt residual anger towards Adam, she felt an overwhelming sense of relief knowing that her team was now privy to her darkest secret. The moment she had feared since the incident happened was now over and she felt lighter and warmer.

Dragged out of her thoughts by a familiar hand on her shoulder she leaned into the touch and hummed in contentment when Adam whispered in her ear.

"I'm so sorry Daisy. I love you and I'm so, so proud of you."

Adam gave her one of his award-winning smiles, the one that melted her heart every time she saw it. She gave him a hug, pressing her body against his before pressing a kiss to his cheek and giving him a look that told him he should go.

Adam returned the kiss before breaking the hold and nodding to Reid letting him know he could take over. Reid grabbed her hand and led her out of the conference room and into the bull pen so they could talk in private."

"Are you alright? Did it help to talk about it? I've never been too good at conveying my problems but maybe it's time I talk to someone and I want that someone to be you." Reid said with a hint of fear in his voice and a flickering look of love in his eyes.

Reid eyes locked on Daisy's and he felt her squeeze his hand before enveloping him in a bear hug and whispering in his ear

"I want to be that person too, Spencer. We could meet in my hotel room later on and talk over a light dinner."

Reid nodded his head and wiped the tears in her eyes with a gentle swipe of his finger. She ruffled his hair playfully and pointed to the conference room.

As they re-entered the conference room Daisy saw Adam leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face that could disarm any straight woman or gay man.

"Oh shut up." Daisy said as she strode across the room and punched him in the arm.

"So when would be a good time to say I told you so?" Adam said between snorts of laughter.
