Chapter 6

"I'm Marie, don't you remember any of last night baby" she said in a wicked grin as she strode across the room, climbed on top of the bed and hovered over me

"I know you're the one" she whispered as she ran her fingers through my hair

"You're crazy!" I spat

"You weren't saying that last night" she giggled crazily "Oh you must have caught the flu overnight, here this will help" she whispered as she produced a small vile filled with clear liquid. She poured the liquid down my throat before I could even question her

"I'm going to untie you because I know you won't last long, you're free to roam the halls but you won't get very far" she said busily as she untied me from the bed

I started feeling extremely light headed as I tried to make a run towards the door but as soon as I stood up I lost all sense of balance and I fell straight to the floor.

"You would have been a great father to our child" she sighed

I looked at her in confusion but I couldn't find the words to question her. The floor seemed to start to spin beneath me and the walls seemed to fuse together. She poisoned me.

** Reid's P.O.V ** 

"Garcia did you get any results from the facial scanner on the woman in the bar?" Morgan asked as we gathered around the round table in the conference room in the Nashville field office

"Not yet my chocolate god of thunder" Garcia replied cheekily "But I have a match for our missing John Doe, he is Bradly James from San Antonio, he was a veteran in Iraq for 4 years but retired when he needed amputation surgery on his leg and has now one prosthetic leg" Garcia said in whirlwind of a huff

"Great job Garcia, keep looking for that woman" Rossi said as he hung up the phone

"Toxicology reports just in from the M.E Hotch, the men were poisoned with a type of mushroom, Psilocybe semilanceata is the scientific name for it, but also traces of Arsenic were found in the liquidised mushroom solution" I said as I read the M.E report to Hotch

"The toxic mushroom to create hallucinations and arsenic to finish the job" Hotch stated

"The M.E also says there were ligature marks on their ankles and wrists and signs of sexual intercourse before death" I stated

"Any of the females DNA found?" Prentiss asked

"Negative, but there was Viagra in his system and his own DNA was found on parts of his body" I said awkwardly

A shrill ring came from the phone that sat centre table

"Tell me something good baby girl!" Morgan answered

"Our unsub is Marie Wells, she owns a local motel 4 miles from here, oh and get this, in 2013 she lost her son in a tragic drowning accident and 2 months later she got a divorce from her long time husband" Garcia said in a sad tone

"That must have been the stressor! Maybe she's looking at these men as surrogates, she's trying to have another child but if she's impotent or just simply not getting pregnant she feels they don't fulfil their purpose so she makes them suffer" I pointed out as I stared off into the distance running through my theory

"That's it Reid!" Prentiss said in a shrill voice "Send us that address Garcia" Prentiss said after a moment

** Victim's P.O.V **

Marie decided not to let me die in the corridor so she gave me an antidote of some form which made me feel a whole lot better. She tied my wrists and ankles and then lifted me over her shoulder and carried me down to her car

"Where are you taking me?" I slurred "They'll find you, you know!" I spat as sternly as I could

"But they won't catch me because we're going to end this together" she whispered freakishly

She shoved me into the trunk and we drove for what felt like hours

** Reid's P.O.V **

"Hotch she's not at the motel, she doesn't own a house because this is her life, where else could she be?" JJ questioned

"This place is her life, her artificial life, because her real life stopped the day her son died! The Lake! She's at the lake, this is her end game, she has finally realised she can't get pregnant so she's finishing it here with her last victim" I said in realisation over the phone

"Great work Reid" Hotch replied as he hung up

**Victim's P.O.V **

Maria opened the trunk and pulled me from it. She hoisted me over her shoulder and when she closed the lid of the trunk I could see where we were.

She lifted me above her shoulders, she was going to drown me! Just as she built the forward momentum to hurl me into the lake a booming voice came from behind

"Put him down Maria! Now" the voice boomed authoritivley 

Maria dropped me suddenly to the ground and ran at the lake hurling herself in head first.
