"Mister Redmond we're gonna need to speak to your daughter."
...
They found them in the ballroom where they left them except this time, Briar Rose and Dahlia were sprawled out in the floor on there backs, hair fanned out around them, while Spencer stood next to them looking both concerned and amused and everyone else moved around them like it was normal.
As they got closer they noticed the trinity knot sitting proudly against her chest, it was white gold with beautiful dainty diamonds that sparkled when the light hit it.
Spencer's browns furrowed when he noticed them come to a stop next to them, their faces tense and questioning. "Briar Rose, would you mind if we asked you a couple questions?" Rossi asked.
She looked at him in distrust and a little suspicion, "Can Spencer come?"
Hotch looked like he was gonna say no, so JJ stepped in before he could knowing that this was the only way she would come with them, "Of course he can, we just want to talk to you for a minute."
She nods gracefully climbing to her feet, keeping her head high as she walked with them back upstairs, Spencer kept a respectable distance behind her. Noticing Morgan watching him with curious eyes.
"What can I do for you agents?" She asked lightly not looking the least bit nervous to be surrounded by FBI agents.
"That's a beautiful necklace, Briar Rose." Prentiss said stirring the conversation back into their hands.
Her slim hands instantly reached to trace the delicate charm, her face softening as she looked down at it, "Thank you. It was a gift, it was given to me on my thirteenth birthday. I've never taken it off."
"Trinity's mean something right? Do you mind if I ask what it means to you?" Hotchner said.
She beamed at him sweetly momentarily throwing him off guard, "It means, The Sun, The Moon, and all the Stars. Why do you ask?" She questioned tilting her head to the side.
Spencer sighed seeing where this was going, and knowing he had to do his job, it didn't matter if he knew them or not, "Briar," He sighed running a ran through his hair. "They're asked because there was a trinity knot carved into the chest of each of the victims." He said gently.
She scoffed her turquoise eyes wide, "Wait you don't seriously think I had something to do with this?!"
"No Miss Redmond we don't. " Hotch assured her, "We think you might be the target."
Her mouth form a silent 'O' and she leaned back in her seat running a finger over her bottom lip in thought, "You knew all the victims didn't you?" JJ asked.
She nodded, "Yeah, Quinn was dating Aiden and Eddie was his best friend, I saw them all the time."
"Is their anybody you can think of that would have a grudge against you? Someone that would want to hurt you?" Hotchner Asked.
She laughed like the question should've answered itself. "Not anyone that would be stupid enough to try."
Morgan, raised his brown in surprise crossing his arms over his chest, "And why is that?"
She smiles politely "Agent Morgan I just met you, if you want to know my entire past, you're gonna at least have to buy me a drink first."
"Well unfortunately miss Redmond, we might have to know you're whole past to catch whoever is after you."
She crosses her arms over her chest defiantly. "Well I'll show you mine if you show me yours." She purrs while her father fights to keep from chuckling.
"Okay what about bad breakups with any ex boyfriends?" Spencer questions loudly trying to get back on track frowning as he asks the question.
She turns to face him giving him a weird look, "I don't really have any boyfriends, maybe a few flings but nothing serious." She says realizing that he's trying to stay as professional as possible so she tells him like he doesn't already know thought they both know he does.
"Really?" Prentiss asks, "No serious boyfriends?"
She grins, and Spencer knows what she's gonna say before she says it, and rolls his eyes heavily, "Well I had a boyfriend for six months when I was fourteen, but he cheated on me and my best friend decked in my back yard and almost got us all arrested."
Hotchner sighs pinching the bridge of his nose, no doubt figuring by know that she was gonna be a challenge for them, "Alright so we have nothing. Then I want this house under twenty four hour surveillance, Briar Rose' safety is our main priority until we can catch the unsub."
"Morgan call Garcia tell her I want her to fly out."
