back to the start

Jessie drove wildly all the way, and when she arrived at the location Gracia had sent her, the ruts suddenly disappeared in front of her.

"I'm here." Jessie dialed Gracia's special line, "It's deserted, I think we have to keep talking."

"Did you go to the desert alone?" JJ asked aside, "Come back quickly, there are too many dangers lurking in the desert at night."

"But there's still a bus full of students that haven't been found..." Jessie got out of the car and looked around.On a hill not far away, "I saw them. Gracia, can you find out my location?" Jessie went down the hill and couldn't help but gasped after seeing the situation in front of her.

"What's wrong?" JJ and Gracia, who were far away in the office, heard the strangeness coming from the speaker, "Did you see the murderer?"

"No..." Jessie stepped forward quickly, signaling a group of students to hide behind, "I didn't see their teacher, I think it was kidnapped by the murderer, and there is..." As soon as the words fell, several voices came from afar The long cry of the wolf.

! "I'm calling Morgan for your support." Before Gracia could dial, Hotch's call came in.

"Gracia, track down the phone of Sheriff George Davison, the suspect just kidnapped her at her home."

"Okay, Sir." Gracia bit her lower lip, "One more thing. The murderer hijacked a school bus and kidnapped the teacher of the group of students."

"What about the students?" Hotch frowned.

"He left those students in the desert. Jessie has found them. She needs backup. Coyotes are approaching them." As soon as Gracia finished speaking, she heard a few "bangs" from the speaker on the other side. Bang" gunshot.

"Oh... God."

"You continue to track the sheriff's phone." JJ patted Gracia's shoulder, softly comforted, picked up the earphones that were set aside, "I'll talk to Jessie."

"Are you okay?" JJ asked worriedly, "What happened?"

"It's okay." Jessie raised her hand to wipe the blood splattered on her face. "A few hyenas have come and they've been dealt with. Let Gracia tell Hotch that I'm going to bring the kids back and not use them as reinforcements."

"Can you?" JJ couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"rest assured."

Jessie was going to drive the school bus back to town, but when she got close to the school bus, she heard a slight ticking sound.Crying inwardly, he bent down and found a miniature pistol in the fuel tank of the school bus.

It seems that Frank is more cunning than he remembers... Jessie was about to let the children climb over the hill and gather on the road. In a blink of an eye, they saw a few coyotes again.

Sighing lightly, he slowly raised his gun to aim.After getting rid of the near ones, Jessie took the children and rushed to the road.Seeing that the road was right in front of them, there were a few long whistles coming from their ears. Looking sideways, two more appeared out of nowhere, sniffing at the lying dead bodies of their companions, and growling at Jessie.

"Quick, go to the road." Jessie hurried to the children, turning over the hillside, turning around, drawing the gun and pulling the trigger on the prey in front of her.

out of ammo...

Jessie really wanted to curse, but she didn't know what to curse. Seeing that she didn't make another move, the two coyotes jumped up and rushed towards her.

Jessie drew out the dagger, estimated the distance, and closed her eyes in despair.

The rapid gunshots sounded, and Jessie felt the hyena's paws swaying in front of her eyes, and then they hung down limply. When she looked closely, the two animals were lying on the ground without breath.

"Fortunately, I followed you here secretly, how can I feel at ease with your appearance?" Elle's voice came from the top.

"I..." Jessie was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Are you injured?" Elle glanced at the blood on her little doctor's body, and hurriedly slid down from the top of the hill.

Jessie shook her head, "It's not my blood, it was splashed on me when I shot the coyote." She lifted her chin towards the school bus, "There's a gun over there, we have to get out of here quickly."

Elle pulled the little doctor to the road, "I drove an SUV, you take ten, I take ten. Get out of this damn place quickly."

"Oh……"

Reid, Emily, and Hotch rushed to the outside of the house where Jane lived. As far as they could see, there were rows of wind chimes made of ribs.

"The murderer kidnapped the sheriff, but he didn't take Jane away. Maybe he didn't find her. Anyway, we have to find her before him." Hotch looked up and down, "Jane is not here either."

"But obviously the murderer has been here before." Reid touched the long string of wind chimes in front of the door. "I even left her a gift, it's so romantic..."

Emily gave the hand that was about to take the wind chime into the evidence bag, "his own version of romance."

"You think he's in love with Jane?" Hotch couldn't believe it.

"That's impossible, a sadist doesn't feel love." Reid retorted, "Chemically speaking, it contains the necessary components of brain activity, monoamine, dopamine... The chemistry of love is controlled by β-□□ Control, it can also be in the..."

"I found it in chocolate." Emily took the words, remembering JJ's appearance when she received her gift for the first time, and smiled, "I love chocolate."

"Peas too! It's found in peas too."

"Would you give peas as a gift to someone you like?" Emily was a little crazy...

"The effect is the same..." Reid was about to retort, but was interrupted by Hotch, "Now spread out, let's scout around.

A few people walked across the dusty warehouse to the other side of the house and saw a silver-gray recreational vehicle.

"Like what Jane said in the police station, an alien space capsule?"

Reid nodded in agreement with Emily's statement, squatted and moved out of the car, pulling the door with his left hand.

Hotch rushed in first, followed by Reid and Emily.Once inside, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant hits the face.Then there are medical equipment hanging all over the wall, and there are still large bloodstains in the middle where it was transformed into an operating table. Hotch put away his gun, and his eyes fell on the two coffins in the corner.

Hotch crouched down, opened one of the coffins, and saw the bloody corpse of a young woman.He sighed softly, turned his head away, and put the cover back on.

"There's another one over there." Emily walked to another place, opened it and saw the constable's frightened face.

"Okay, don't talk." Hotch picked up the sheriff who was still in a weak state, "We rescued you."

Gracia followed the phone signal all the way, and after waiting for a while, the phone finally turned on again.

"He's in a diner. I found it."

Gidoen led Morgan into the dining car and sat in front of the man who was calmly drinking a strawberry milkshake. "Do you mind if I sit here?"

"I don't mind." The man took a sip of the milkshake and smiled.

When Jessie and Elle arrived at the dining car, they were already surrounded by armed police with live ammunition. Hotch and his group were guarding the door, paying close attention to Frank, who was calm inside.

The sheriff was still hugging her husband in pain, "He killed Tommy's teacher, God...she's only 22 years old..."

"That man also killed the school bus driver."

"How could it be?" The sheriff was puzzled, "We sealed off the whole town..."

"But we didn't pay enough attention to the school bus issue..." Hotch felt a little regretful when he recalled his advice before leaving.

Jessie and Elle got out of the SUV, gathered the children one by one, and delivered them to the local police station.

"Where did you find these kids?" Hotch wondered, seeing the blood on Jessie's clothes again. "Are you injured? Gracia said you don't need backup…"

"It's not my blood." Jessie shook her head. "I received a message from Gracia that the guy left these children in the desert. He also installed a cockroach on the school bus. I saw it, and it can be controlled by remote control."

"Morgan said he's been checking the time." Hotch suddenly realized, "Maybe what he's waiting for is the report of the disappearance of the children who went to the field trip."

"If he uses the child as a bargaining chip, then what does he want?" Elle was puzzled, "He cannot escape the punishment."

"Jane." Hotch realized, "He wants her."

"Sexual perverts don't have emotions..." Elle said strangely, "I've seen so many cases, Frank is the first one..."

In the dining car, after receiving the news from Hotch, Morgan said to Frank who was still bargaining with Gidoen, "You have no chance to negotiate, the children have already been found, and as for the problem of you installing the gun under the school bus, we have sent a professional to dismantle it." The bombers are heading... come with us..."

"You found the child?" Frank's eyes widened. "How did this happen?"

"Let's talk at the police station..." Morgan cut Frank's hands behind his back, handcuffed him, and led him out of the dining car.

As soon as he went out, he met Jane who was found by the police on the street.

"Jane!" Frank exclaimed happily.

Elle and Hotch stopped Jane who was walking forward, "Jane, you were kidnapped by a murderer, not an alien... He comes back here every year to secretly watch you, and left these wind chimes as a gift when he left... "

"Pretty, isn't it?" Jane asked back.

Elle was choked, and continued to persuade, "Not at all..."

"Is it right that he came back to look for me?" Jane didn't understand, and she was happy to herself, "He didn't come to look for George, I want to take another look into his eyes, it feels like coming home... ..."

For a moment, the few people around were a little bit crazy...

Frank smiled resignedly, "I didn't expect you to find the group of children I hid earlier." He saw the blood on Jessie's skirt, "You found it?"

Jessie nodded, still watching him warily.

"Do you really think that you can save everything?" Frank dropped the words and got into the police car with a smile.

"I'm going to be with him..." Jane broke free from Hotch's hold and got into the police car as well.

Reid and Emily wanted to step forward to stop, but Gideon waved his hand, "Let them go."

"At least, he can't do anything wrong anymore." Jessie thought to herself as she looked at the police car going away.

There was an unspeakable emotion in Gideon's heart, even a murderous maniac, at the end of his life, there were people who cared for someone to accompany him, but he was alone.

He felt a sudden pang of exhaustion, which weighed him down.
