two people's agreement

All the BAU team members summarized and analyzed all the clues they had at the police station, trying to find out Cole's next target before he could.

There were four suspects in the Kongwan Killer back then, but they were all dead.

When the documents are flying all over the sky here.

Garcia struggled to find Tommy Phillips, who had changed his surname and was now called James Thomas Anderson.

Hodge and Emily drove to his residence in the next county.

"Devon Cole?! Who is that? What does it have to do with me?"

When they asked about Cole, his response was flat.

"We think he's a survivor of the Hollow Bay murders," Emily explained.

"No one survived."

The two words he said softly made people feel tight.

Survived.

What is survival?Survival by luck? !So is it time to throw a party and celebrate?

So what if you survived!Such a dog survived, always shrouded in the darkness engraved in his heart, and survived to become a living hell.

Hodge looked around the house, the kitchen bin full of empty wine bottles, giving him a clear idea of ​​what kind of life this bearded, listless man led.

This may also be his last life.

He adjusted his affected mentality, came to Tommy seriously, and staged a good show of their good cops and bad cops.

"You survived!" Hodge folded his arms on his chest.

Emily plays its role as the good cop. "There was also a boy, he was 6 years old."

"No! Not another boy." He bowed his head in denial.

"We don't have time to spend here with you!" His tone was full of unhappiness.

"I told you, it's just me." Tommy denied again.

"Like now?" Hodge asked.

Tommy looked up at him in surprise. "What did you say?!"

"Have you ever been married? Have you ever been in a relationship? Do you have a family?" Questions were thrown at him one by one, reminding him of his miserable life now.

"What does that matter?!" Tommy instinctively resisted these questions, which was a cruel reality he didn't want to face.

"Maybe you're afraid that you'll abandon them too, or because you drink too much." Hodge explained what was in his mind.

"I will never abandon a child!" He stood up to face Hodge and retorted loudly.

"Because he's crying too much? Is he unresponsive? Why the hell?! How can you abandon a 6-year-old!" Hodge managed to piss him off.

Tommy looked him in the eyes and realized that Hodge wasn't accusing him, just wanted to know the truth.

"I was only 12 years old," he said with a sigh, his back turned to them.

"Devon Cole has been taking drugs to suppress memories to treat the trauma caused by that time, and that amnesia is a kind of psychological defense." Emily told him Cole's condition gently.

"He wants him to forget forever." Why do I want to forget but not forget.

"We know your statement to the police, and we need to know about the boy." Hodge softened.

We can save him.

Tommy heard his unfinished words, and faintly spit out the memory as clear as yesterday.

"He never spoke, just listened silently to the man's orders to pack some clothes. That man fell asleep that day, I asked him to get the key hanging on the high place, and opened the cage that locked me in, but was caught by that man. The man found out, he locked me in the trunk, and drove to a very remote place. I tripped him while he wasn't paying attention, and hit him on the head with the crowbar in the boy's hand, making the boy and I ran away together. There was a railing, I jumped over it first, and he was too small to jump over. I watched the man drive up and catch him..."

Today he is no longer the pretender in the James Thomas Anderson shell.

He was Tommy Phillips, the survivor of the 1975 Hollow Bay murders, the Tommy Phillips who survived because he left another child and ran away.The kid called out Tommy in the first sentence.

"Run! Tommy! Run!" the boy yelled at himself as the man restrained him.

That voice kept echoing in his ears and never disappeared.

"Before that, I had never heard him speak."

"He told you to run!" Emily looked at his sad look, and couldn't bear to comfort him.

"He's just a kid..." Tommy choked out.

"You too."

So you don't have to feel guilty about it, you were just a kid then.

At this time, Hodge put aside all sensibility, looked at all this more rationally than himself, and calmly analyzed the information they needed most.

He noticed something unusual in Tommy's words.

"Cole wasn't in the trunk with you."

"No, he's in the cab." Tommy said affirmatively, his memory was very clear.

"He gave you water and got the key." Doubts were raised one by one.

Emily raised her voice in surprise, "Why isn't he locked up?"

"Maybe Cole wasn't a victim," Hodge suggested, and Tommy was struck by the implications of his words.

Hodge looked at Emily behind him, and gave her another hint. "Cole's Memories."

"My God!" Emily recalled the condition mentioned in Cole's case.she cried out in surprise. "His father is the Kongwan killer!"

(For those who find the problem, please read what the author has to say, Tang Xiaoyuan will explain)

This discovery allowed them to quickly narrow down the suspects for the Kongwan killer.

No one reported Cole missing to indicate his mother was dead, so the Air Bay Killer could explain his son's disappearance to people simply by saying Cole ran away from home.

Now they start with the death certificate.

In the end, Garcia found Doris Jarvis from the data of women who died between 1969 and 1975, who met multiple parameters such as being married, about 20 years old, and whose husband drove a red pickup.She died in childbirth in 1969, leaving behind her only son.

Her husband, Bill Jarvis, had a machine shop on the outskirts of town that could serve as a second location. It closed in 1980, and he has been unemployed since then, and was jailed for drunk driving from 1977 to 1980.He owned a red pickup but was caught driving another black one in 1976.

"This must be Devon Cole's father." Emily said with certainty what everyone was thinking.

They hurried to Bill Jarvis' residence.

The sheriff who got the news also sent a police force to the scene, and the rest of the police force will come to support later because of the distance problem.

The sheriff arranged for them to prepare for the storm.

Emily walks up to him to understand the situation and, by the way, convinces him to let BAU do the delay.

"The child is inside, we have controlled the situation, and the tactical team has blocked all exits." The sheriff explained the situation to her.

"We need to distract Cole," Emily suggested.

"His attention is now on the old man."

"For the time being, we have to find a way to get that child out safely."

"Our police force is very abundant. There is a team in the backyard, and another team is on the way. We have to go in." The sheriff decided determinedly.

"If you do this, someone will die." This is the last thing they want to see.

"The one who died was either Cole, or a child murderer." The sheriff no longer cared, "Choose one!"

"Things don't have to develop like that, we just need to get Jarvis's confession, Cole can also get the answer, no one will die..."

Emily persuaded her several times, but the sheriff's expression remained the same.

"Hodge!"

Hodge walked quickly from her into the surrounded house. His suit jacket had been taken off, revealing a thin white shirt. He was not wearing body armor or carrying a weapon.

Emily's voice made Rosie and Morgan, who were assembling weapons on the other side, realize what was going on.

"Hodge!" Morgan tried to rush up to stop him, but Rosie stopped him.

"What the hell is he trying to do!" Morgan still wanted to rush over.

"Let him go!" Rossi understood Hodge, and he would not do anything he was not sure about.

"Rosie, I won't let him in alone." Morgan was very worried about the safety of Hodge, who was one of them.

"We have to trust him." Rossi convinced Morgan again with the words that had enlightened him before.

They could only anxiously wait outside for Hodge to settle everything and come out safely.

Hodge didn't knock on the door to signal, but pushed the door directly and entered.

Cole, who was pointing a gun at Bill, was frightened, and quickly raised the gun at him. His hand was shaking, but he didn't pull the trigger in a panic.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

"go out!"

Hodge raised his hand to show that he was not wearing a weapon, "My name is Allen."

"It's between me and him!" Cole told him clearly.

"I know," Hodge said.

"Then don't interfere!" He said calmly, turning the gun steadily towards the old man who had been sitting on the sofa, his father.

"I know what he did to those boys. I know about the Air Bay killer, the cage, and Tommy." Hodge tried to hold off.

"You know Tommy?"

What Hodge mentioned made Cole emotional. He kept blinking his eyes, and the memory deep in his mind came to his eyes again.

It was clear to him that he was pulling the boy, not the real Tommy.

"We're going to make him pay in blood, Tommy," he murmured. "Not one pile will fall."

"Let him go, you don't need to let Tommy see this scene." Hodge hoped that he would put down his arms and settle peacefully.

"Damn him."

"He's damned, but if you kill him, you get nothing. I thought you wanted some answers."

"Go! Devon ask him!" Hodge encouraged him.

"Why do you treat those kids like that!" Cole yelled out his question, his emotions were very agitated.

"What kid?" Old Bill asked calmly, feigning ignorance.

"No!" Not getting the answer he wanted made him even more angry. "Those children we buried, why!"

"You're confused." Old Bill still pretended not to know anything.

"NO, I have not."
