Dangerous Paths

It's Harsh, But It's Not Wrong

Sasha was impressed at how her boss handled the students all but one student quickly exited Sasha made her way over too her " Hi I'm SSA Hunt did you want to speak with me about something? I noticed you watching me on stage." She said looking at the young woman who was maybe twenty years old if that.

" Oh uh yeah I was wondering if these murders had to do with the bullying here at the school? I was one of the many victims of bullying. Sorry I'm taking criminal justice so I started kind of digging into this a bit. All the murder victims where bullied." She said

Sasha watched her closely analyzing her " Yes they were and we don't know for sure if that's really the connection to our unsub or not. What's your name?" She said

The young girl grabbed her book bag before saying " Cassidy Tyner, I think it is a connection. Unsub that means unknown subject right? Also I told dean Whittaker about the bullying and rapes he did nothing about it" 

The younger agent smiled "Yes that's right and  oh really? We will take a look into that, ok it's nice too meet you Cassidy I'll see you around if you need anything here is my card give me a call ok?" She said handing her a business card before heading back to her boss whom was watching the interaction like a hawk.

"What was that about?" Emily asked the younger agent looked at her and said quietly " That was our female victim Cassidy she said she told Whittaker about the bullying and rapes but he did nothing about any of it. She also believes this is the connection to the unsub" the agent was obviously cautious about this young woman.

The raven haired woman raised an eyebrow leaning in speaking quietly " What's your gut saying?" She asked.

" That she knows more then she's letting on chief" the other woman said as they made way back to their vehicle

"Alright lets go grab some snacks and other things and meet back here for the night" Emily said as she was on a conference call with the team.

The younger agent sat in the passenger seat running the behavior of the young victim through her head "she was oddly calm about the whole situation" she finally said catching her boss off guard. The raven haired woman looked at the agent " She was calm? How calm?" She asked.

"Calm enough that it's concerning no victim knowing that all the murder victims are bullying victims would be that calm. She said she decided to dig into this murder streak because she's taking criminal justice. But something about her demeanor is off no one that's a bullying victim would by nature be that calm with someone targeting them." The young agent continued.

Emily drove to a store while listening to Sasha's thoughts about Cassidy, when they got to the store she parked and sat there for a moment before saying " So are you thinking she may be involved Hunt?"

This caught Sasha off guard she looked at the older woman sitting beside her " I'm not 100% sure but it's worth keeping an eye on her I think. I could be wrong but my gut is telling me to watch her closely if she isn't our unsub she may be working with the unsub." She said.

The older woman nodded slightly " I'll notify the team but you know feelings do not catch unsubs just keep that in mind Hunt" she said coldly before exiting the vehicle.

The younger woman sighed nodding as she exited the vehicle as well following her boss into the store. They did a bit of shopping getting a case of water, a case of premade coffees, some bottles of soda, and snacks. They checked out and loaded the back seat of the SUV up, Sasha grabbed out a book from her bag and set it in the floorboard of the passenger seat.

Emily got in the drivers seat as the other woman enter the car on the passenger side they went back to the university when Emily called the team again " Alright everyone now that it's dark put your coms in Garcia already has them connected anyone see's anything they need to let me know. JJ and Alvez you two take the north side, Tara and Rossi East side, Hunt and I have the west side and local police have the south side. Do not blow your position unless needed" she warned.
