Trista fell asleep in a daze when she suddenly heard the ringtone of her cell phone.It was the sound of her alarm clock, which kept ringing beside her.

She tried to sit up and turn off the phone, but hit something with a bang, and she screamed in pain.

Through the tears, she slowly opened her eyes and looked around.

It's very dark here, and she can only see the little light of the phone.The deserted silver-blue illuminated a small corner, which looked like a corner of a wall.

Trista froze for a moment, she stretched out her hand to touch left and right, then up and down.

She suddenly discovered that she was actually in a rectangular space.The space is very small, about the same as a wardrobe.

She didn't cry out, but picked up the phone very calmly.

As expected, there was no signal.Moreover, the mobile phone is still a very old style, and the battery can be easily removed.Opening the menu casually, she saw a document.

There is a time in the document, and Trista looked at the date displayed on the phone and found that it was a week later.

She froze for a moment, then saw several bottles of water in the corner.They are all in one-liter bottles, five bottles in total.And there are several Snickers bars next to the water, which seem to be distributed according to the minimum daily calorie intake.

Lying down again, Trista found that the person who kidnapped her didn't want to kill her, but as for his purpose, she really couldn't think of it at all.

She was knocked out without seeing the man's appearance, and now her neck still hurts.

Is it the enemy of BAU?Or against Rhett?

She didn't participate in many cases, and she didn't directly arrest her, so she couldn't be blamed.

As she was thinking, she suddenly saw her feet.There was nothing strange about her feet, but what caught her special attention was the dress she was wearing now.

The white skirt, with lace embroidery, was undoubtedly the wedding dress she bought.

But what kind of psychopath would put on this wedding dress for her and lock her in the closet.

No, it's not a wardrobe either.The wardrobe is vertical, and this thing is horizontal.

What is it?

***

Red sat in the conference room with the rest of the BAU team, including Elvis and Louise.Hochner looked at the clues that the three of them sorted out, and his brows became tighter and tighter, "So we don't know anything except that she is missing now?"

Garcia clasped the edge of the notebook. She actually knew something, but she couldn't say it.After confirming that Trista was missing, she contacted Finch.Now that she knew his identity, she opened up and told him all about it.

Finch didn't say much, just asked her to share all their leads.

Garcia did not refuse, she could not refuse the God in her heart, nor could she refuse a father.

But she also asked Finch to tell him the information from his side. Finch is very good at computers, but when it comes to profiling, he is completely inferior.

Finch didn't answer her right away, saying he needed a little more time.

Then Garcia came over for the meeting. Now she had too many doubts and conflicts in her heart, and she was extremely anxious.

Hotchina rubbed the edge of the paper, he also felt the difficulty of this disappearance case.Not only because the missing person is his own, but also because there are really too few clues.

The perpetrator was extremely cautious and avoided all cameras.Several surveillance cameras near Trista's house were hacked, and there was no video recording at all.Moreover, he knows the Internet very well, and being able to lay out the overall situation so long ago shows that he has planned this matter for a long time.

There was no doubt that the suspect was targeting Trista.But the reason, but no one can tell.Even for Garcia, very little information can be found.

As an orphan, Trista's real life background is worth pondering.

Looking at Finch's information, Hotchner would never believe that an employee of an IT company could earn so much money through investment.Although what he saw was Finch's most superficial information, he also speculated that Finch was unusual.

So he sent Red to New York to meet with Finch alone.As Trista's boyfriend, he should be able to get enough information from Finch.

In fact, there are many fragmented clues in Reid's mind, and he boldly connected them together to form an incredible story.But the story was not complete, and he had to go to Finch to complete it.

Finch gave him an address and asked him to come directly.

Reid took a taxi directly to this place, and when he walked in, he was taken aback by the layout inside.He felt that he had broken into the server area of ​​some IT company, not Finch's residence.

"The machine you see now can be said to be the prototype of a universe model. Just like Trista's ability, she can infer the appearance of an entire painting from an extremely small vector map. This machine can also. Humans Although they are made of flesh and blood, when viewed microscopically, they are all carbon-based organisms, made up of atoms. Every neuron, every cell has its own operation. Machines can make accurate guesses about these operations. , has never predicted human behavior." Finch walked to his masterpiece, took out a note and handed it to Rhett, "It should have a greater effect, but it is still paying attention to human beings. Human beings. In this city, if someone in this city is about to have something huge happen, it will remind me."

Reid took the note and looked at it, and found that it was a social security account number, "Did it remind you that Trista's disappearance?"

"It always reminds me, it has been reminding me since I delivered her from her mother's body with my own hands. I know where the danger comes from, and I have taken her to escape again and again, but I still hide No." Finch sat weakly on the sofa, then slowly raised his head to look at Rhett, "Do you think you can protect her?"

"Then you must tell me what the danger you are talking about!" Reid walked up to Finch and snapped at him.He didn't know what Finch was hiding. Trista would die at any moment now, why couldn't he be more straightforward.

"Do you think you can protect her?" Finch asked again, and he kept looking at Rhett with firm eyes.

"Of course I can!" Rhett gritted his teeth, and when he said this, his heart was bleeding.He can't protect Maeve, and Trista can't watch her die in front of him anymore.

He is actually a very fragile person, he cannot accept the same kind of blow anymore.

Finch stood up, took out a photo album from the bookshelf, and handed it to Rhett, "Trusta's mother Claire and I were both Ivy League students. We worked together on a project at that time, so we met. . She was beautiful and talented and had many suitors around her. One of them was Brady, whose grandmother was the adopted daughter of the Mansbridge family."

Reid opened the photo album, and the first thing he saw was a group photo.In the group photo, Claire and Trista are almost identical, except for their clothes, it is impossible to tell the difference between the two mothers and daughters.There are three other men, one is Finch, one is blond, and one is brunette.There are names written under the photo, the blonde is Brady, and the brunette is Chad.

"Brady is handsome, talented, and has an excellent family background. He is the most powerful competitor among these suitors. There is also Chad, whose father is a famous arms dealer. He was also in business with the Ministry of Defense at the time. Do. And he and Claire are in the same high school, and he has known her the longest time." Finch fell into the memory, his gray-blue eyes were completely out of focus, "Claire likes Brady the most, but she doesn't He liked his fraternity friends, so the two never had a relationship. Then Claire and Brady went out on a date, and his fraternity friends raped her."

Rhett raised his head abruptly. There was too much information in Finch's words, which confused his clear thinking, "Who is Trista's real father?"

"It's Brady." Finch said calmly. These things are already history for him. Coupled with the pressure from the school and these famous families, Claire finally compromised. But she told me that Brady was also a victim, he didn't know all this, she still loves him..."

Rhett bit his lip, it was difficult for him to judge the specific situation at that time.Moreover, Finch is also a third person, so there will be deviations in the facts he relayed.

"After graduation, Claire was going to marry Brady. But before the wedding, one of the scumbags brought it up again. Chad happened to be there, and he took the opportunity to kill the man Yes. He also came to find me, let me hack into the surveillance system, and deleted the evidence of his murder." Finch took a deep breath, and when he got here, he had a slight emotional fluctuation, "He I know that I love Claire too, and I have a sense of justice that is completely out of line with my ability. Later, he killed all those scumbags one after another, and controlled the time before the wedding. I thought this matter should be over like this, but I It's still too naive to believe in a person who easily takes other people's lives."

Rhett continued to flip through the album, and he saw pictures of the fraternity members.There are big red crosses painted on their faces, as bright as if painted with blood.

"The day before the wedding, he took Claire away." Finch stretched out his hands and hugged his head.It seemed that the most uncomfortable place for him was coming, he paused and adjusted his breathing.

Rhett held the edge of the album tightly, thinking of the wedding dress that disappeared with Trista, and with Finch, fell into boundless pain.
