04X40 - The Silent Gun

Malcolm attends a call at a house after a report of a disturbance. However upon talking to the complainants he realises it's much deeper. Bailiffs had been trying to force the door of a bedsit open when the man inside released several rounds from a gun, injuring one of the Bailiffs hands. Malcolm questions why he wasn't told that a gun was involved and the middle class woman admits she was rather flustered to find out her tenant had a gun. She also forgot to ask for an ambulance and to mention that the man with a gun is still inside the house, locked in his room on the top floor.

Brownlow has a holiday that he's just about to leave for as news of the shooting comes in. Malcolm has a look up the stairs but there's no movement.

Bob. Tony and Derek get their guns and bullets signed out to them by Brownlow and Derek is assigned negotiator. Brownlow will be the scene coordinator, Bob is to be his runner and the others are back up.

The woman tells Malcolm that his name is 'Dublin' and she assumes he's Irish because of his name but she's never actually spoken to him. He hasn't paid rent for 6 months and is rather reclusive. She's been through all the legal routes to get him out but he won't leave hence the bailiffs being there.

Jim is sent to try and get access to the house opposite to gain an observation point. A crowd gathers despite Yorkie trying to get everyone to go home and stay inside. Bob and Derek take up positions with their guns with Derek making his way into the house.

Derek slowly starts climbing the stairs. He gets outside the room in question without harm and takes a long deep breath in. "Derek, any sign of life?" asks Brownlow. "Just my guts turning over, sir."

Jim couldn't get in the house suggested as an observation point as the woman he encountered freaked out. He's had to go to the next house along and reports a thick curtain over the window in question.

The firearms boss arrives dressed in a suit and is introduced to Brownlow. Soon after a group of armed police arrive and take over from Bob to allow him inside to assist Derek and Charles. The boss of the firearms is awesome and asks for a canteen van to be brought because he's there to make sure everyone is safe and calm and that the job ends in the same way, however long it takes. If it's not and not everyone is alive at the end - he considers that he hasn't done his job.

Yorkie has to deal with an idiot who wants to leave his house and dodge the police to get to the local shop. He refuses to go out the back, even when Yorkie points out that he's likely to get shot! Thankfully Claire's neighbour is a lot more reasonable and agrees to keep out of the way and in the back of her house.

Derek attempts to make contact with the armed police around him. He asks Mr Dublin if he can hear him and is answered by a toilet flush and Ted making his way out of the bathroom.🤣 Derek tries again but Dublin remains silent. Derek tells him that the bailiff is OK and not seriously injured. He asks him to leave the gun in his room and come out for a chat so he can help him with his problems. Dublin doesn't answer and there's no movement inside. He asks for the man's first name and is still met with silence.

Alec reports to Brownlow that the press would like to come nearer. He refuses and tells Alec to nick them if they try it before muttering to Ted that perhaps they should let them through as the only good journalist is a dead one. The middle-class house owner beams at Charles as she tells him that her brother was a journalist for the Telegraph.

Viv shows Brownlow some post addressed to a Mr Lublin from Poland that haven't been collected. She suggests that the name they've been given for 'Mr Dublin' is wrong and that he's 'Mr Lublin' instead. There's also an old rent book in the same name.

Bob pops upstairs. "... Do you speak Polish?" he asks Derek.

Technical Support blunder into the house and ask Derek how he's going. Derek tells them he's asked for an interpreter as there's been no movement or response yet. The armed officer's boss silences them all when he hears movement...

Outside, the canteen van is doing a roaring trade. Taffy asks Claire how you get all the hedgehogs in the world on a single matchbox. Claire has no idea.

The extra we've been talking about, Bryan Jacobs gets to speak in this episode! He says 'not again' and 'he is!' when Yorkie asks him who's winning their game of cards in the back of the police van.

Robin moans about how long it's taking, claiming the sooner it's over the better. Yorkie takes Alec a tea, he pouts because it's not coffee and sends him back to get him a sandwich.

The house owner is starting to get concerned that it won't be over by the time two students she tutors are due to arrive at 8pm. Malcolm and Ken make them all jump - including startling the snoozing Ted - by celebrating as a goal is scored on TV. [Very surprised Brownlow doesn't bollock them given what they're there for!]

Derek gets the interpreter to ask if he'd like a drink, and Mr Lublin continues ignoring them. "Perhaps he's on the wagon." Derek drawls before checking in with the tech guys who tell him there's half an inch to go before their probes are through the wall. "... Let's hope you don't come out behind the wardrobe again." Derek mutters earning himself a glare.

Brownlow talks to the armed officer's boss who tells him it doesn't matter that they've been waiting four hours, he still needs to bring it to a peaceful resolution. Brownlow points out the streetful of people wanting to return to their homes and an MP moaning about overkill.

Yorkie heads to a local shop to buy a packet of biscuits and speaks to the shopkeeper who tells him that he thought the Polish tenant had gone because he hadn't been in for months whereas before he was a regular visitor for his cereal. Yorkie asks if he ever spoke to the man and the shopkeeper says no, there was no point. He's deaf.

Outside the crowd are getting moody and wanting to return to their homes. One man in particular tries to push his way through Alec. He gets rough and ends up getting bundled into a police van to calm down. Another old lady reports her rice pudding that she left on a low flame might be about to spoil so Taffy is sent in to turn it off!

Brownlow speaks to the armed officers and explains that he's deaf and claims that they've wasted time trying to speak to him. The armed officer points out that if he's heard nothing he's more dangerous as he'd panic and fire at them in shock. The police dog barks at Charles as the man walks off like he's telling him off 🤣

Ted goes over to relieve Jim who has needed a pee for an hour. He reckons they should have gone in as soon as they were in place and took him by surprise and the job now has too much heavy thinking.

Tech are now going for their third set of holes after the last set also didn't work. Derek points out it could be a wall-to-wall bookcase but the man insists he knows it'll be right that time. The heat monitor is also not helping as what is seen could be body heat or also could be a fire! "When you join up those once little holes you'd drilling we can lift the roof up and have a look, can't we!?" Derek snarks.

Taffy tries to get into the house of the old lady and ends up breaking the window of her back door as everything else is locked. He's in the wrong house as he's confronted by two men and finds no rice pudding on the stove.

With no further movement, the officers prepare to go in with a police dog. The armed officers and a light are prepared and Viv asks the lady to stay where she is. They break the door in and push through a barricade to get the dog in before pushing in themselves. Inside they find the dog sat beside the old man who has literally curled into a ball with his hands over his head. The gun is on the bed.

With everything resolved and the old man arrested, the specialist forces leave. Derek and the suspect are mobbed by the press. Jim and Ted watch on in silence with Ted turning to Jim.

".... So what was the score?"

The Angel Maker: Final Part

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Female!Reader

Word Count: ~2.3k

Summary: You still feel guilty for what happened to you and Hotch even though you shouldn't. If you had seen that bomb before getting blasted back, then maybe you wouldn't have so many problems with your "abilities".

Warnings: canon violence, canon language, canon talk of death, methods of kill

Author’s Note: I do not own anything from Criminal Minds. All credit goes to their respective owners. If there are any warnings that exceed the normal death/kills from the show, I will list them. If you’ve seen the show, then it’s the same level of angst unless otherwise stated

x

Hotch and Emily headed over there while the rest of the team stayed back to work on the case. It turns out that the unsub wasn't the one who committed the crime, but Shara, the woman you and Rossi talked to. She figured if this killing spree could work for the unsub, then it could work for her.

It's already late, so you'll have to pick this up in the morning. The comment Emily made is stuck in your head for some reason. Why you're upset at this, you're not sure. You're sitting in the conference room and staring at Emily who is outside getting some coffee in the break room. You have a small pout on your face, and Spencer notices this when he enters the conference room.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," you say and look away.

"Is it your head? Are you okay?"

"Spencer, I'm okay. I took my pain meds before we left the hotel, so I'm good."

The rest of the team filters into the conference room while JJ is on the phone with Pen. Penelope is working her magic in trying to find out who this unsub could be. According to her, four hundred and sixty-three children were born in the lower Canaan area between 2006 and 2008, so you'll have to narrow the list a bit more to get accurate results.

One of the letters Spencer decoded says, "I knew even before they told me that the future had taken root", which can only mean that it was the date of conception. The date of that letter was January 7th, 2007, so Pen had to look between August to September of the same year. With that, she came up with nine names, which is a lot more manageable.

After she sent over the names, your team got to work eliminating them. The Sheriff would know more about these names than you would, so you bring him in to try and help.

"Hannah Dreyfus was in an auto accident. She could barely walk. Shannon Conway moved away when the plant closed a year ago," the sheriff goes down the list.

"Any other names you recognize?"

"No, I'm sorry." The sheriff does a double-take and grabs the paper when he recognizes another name. "Well, this one here sounds familiar but I can't really place it. Chloe Kelcher."

"Chloe Kelcher. That is familiar," Spencer says and grabs the file for Cortland. "She was on the jury."

"That makes sense. She would have been exposed to the case evidence and seen firsthand what he did to his victims. That's when she fell in love with him, sitting across the courtroom every day."

"Well, it's one thing to have a relationship with a killer, and it's another to become one," the sheriff scoffs.

"There might have been an incident that prompted the transformation," Spencer says and looks into Chloe's file. "There's a death certificate here. Microvesicular steatosis. Her baby died at the hospital."

It looks like Chloe is your unsub, so your entire team heads over to her house, but like you assumed, she isn't home. The judge signed the warrant very quickly, so you're allowed to enter her house without getting into trouble. After a thorough search, everyone gathers in the kitchen.

"All right. We all know what the end game is. She's looking for her final victim. She may have already chosen one. Let's tear this place apart and look for anything that might tell us who she's targeted," Hotch says.

You, Hotch, and Derek head toward the bedroom and come across a child's nursery with glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to the ceiling.

"Daddy's watching," you say and point to the stars.

"It must have devastated her to think that she could hold on to Ryan by having his child and then lose the baby. Completing his murders became the only way she could hold on to him."

Something isn't right. The second you entered the house, something felt off about the atmosphere. You pause and look around the room until you see it.

Cortland Ryan is sitting on top of some kind of chest located underneath the window.

"What is it?" Derek asks after he sees the look on your face.

Without saying a word, you grasp the end of the chest. As soon as you open it, Cortland mists away. Lying there inside is Cortland's rotting body.

"That's not the only way she's holding onto him," you gag.

"I assume that's who I think it is," Spencer says when he walks into the bedroom. "I have an appointment book here. There are meetings with Delilah Grennan and Maxine Chandler on the day of each murder."

"Sheriff, have you found her tools or the gun?" Hotch asks.

"Nothing yet."

"She has something for this morning: Faye Landreaux."

"She's a CPA," the sheriff sighs. "She does my taxes. She works out of her home."

"Let's go."

Your entire team heads over to Faye's house. As soon as you get there, you can feel how scared she is and also another energy: the unsub.

"My team's ready. Let's get in there," the Sheriff says eagerly.

"Sheriff, we didn't recover a gun at Chloe's house. We have to assume she's armed."

"So are we."

"If you storm in now, she'll shoot, and she'll start with Faye. We need to be smart about this," you say.

"What do we do?" Derek asks.

"I think you should look for an open window," Hotch takes charge. "Sheriff, I need you to bring all your vehicles around to the front, facing forward with lights off, and I need a megaphone."

The sheriff does what he's told, and Derek creeps around the house to try and find an open window to get inside. Chances are, she's locked all the doors so no one can get inside so Derek's only shot it getting through a window without alerting her.

"Hotch, you won't be able to get through to her," you say.

"No, but maybe you can," he says and hands the megaphone to you.

"Sir, the profile is clear. We won't be able to talk her down."

"No, but we can occupy her. If we're right about the MO, she's left a window open somewhere. Morgan will find a way in. We just need to buy him some time. Hit the lights," Hotch says to the sheriff.

Seconds later, lights flood the front of the house, no doubt letting Chloe know that you're here. You take a deep breath and clear your head.

"Chloe, this is the FBI. We know you're in there, and we know what you're trying to do. I know you think that finishing what Cortland started will bring you closer to him, but first, you should know who he really was. I know you thought you were special, but the truth is, he wrote the same things he wrote to you to other women. I've seen the letters." Hotch hands you copies of the letters for you to read to her. "Dozens read the same lines: 'Without the flesh, there is only the soul. You don't need to touch me to feel the love I have for you.' Does that sound familiar? Cortland wasn't who you thought he was. He was a narcissist, Chloe. He wasn't capable of loving anyone but himself.

"To Carla Kettinger, he wrote, 'Ever since your visit, I am crazed with thoughts of you. Already, you have entered my dreams. Each time you appear to me, I am embraced by a feeling of trust and belief as if I've known you all my life. It's clear to me now that you are my fate. We are destined to be together, and when I am gone, that will not change. I will live on in you. In death, our union will be eternal. All appeals are lost. Possessions matter little to a condemned man, but I cannot leave this world without seeing your face one last time.' 

"It isn't your fault that he made you feel these things, Chloe. It isn't your fault your baby died."

That gives Derek enough time to get Faye out of the house because as soon as you're done speaking, you see Derek usher Faye to safety. Second later, you hear Chloe yell out in anger.

"It's over, Chloe. We have Faye. You have nowhere to go," you say into the megaphone.

Still, she doesn't respond. 

"I think we got some tear gas. I'm assuming it's still good," the sheriff says.

"We're not gonna need it. She doesn't have any place to go."

"Well, maybe she'll do us all a favor and put herself down."

"She's not gonna do that, either. She's not done."

Just then, Chloe comes out of the house with the gun in her hand. All officers and agents draw their guns and point them at her, and she stops at the bottom step of the porch.

"Chloe, drop the gun!" Hotch orders, and repeats himself when she doesn't listen.

"I'm coming to you, baby," she grins at the sky.

She raises her gun to shoot knowing that everyone will shoot to stop her. She goes down in two shots, and you back away in pain from the gunshot. Rossi and Emily rush over to her, but she is already dead. Emily notices blood seeing from her jacket, and she lifts it to see the markings of the final constellation.

If we took her victim from her, then she became the last one.

With the case solved, your team gets ready to head to the airport. Hotch is in the police station finishing up, so everyone is waiting by the car for him.

"Hey, are you okay?" Spencer asks.

"Yeah, just tired," you sigh.

"Did anyone get directions back to the airstrip?" JJ asks when Hotch comes out with his bag in hand.

"This town's only got one road. We'll find it," Derek shrugs.

"Yeah, Morgan doesn't like to follow directions. You didn't know about that?" Emily laughs.

"Yeah, he likes to vibe it," Spencer smirks.

"Okay, smart ass. You drive," Derek says and tosses Spencer the keys.

He unlocks the car, and you're the first one in. The car has a row of seats behind the back seat, so that's the one you take. Spencer sees how much pain you're in, and he looks down at the keys in his hands. He likes driving every once in a while, but you clearly need him.

"Not this time," he says and hands the keys to Emily who takes them with a smile.

He sets his bag in the back before climbing in next to you. After putting both your seatbelts on, you shift and rest your head on his chest. He wraps an arm around you and kisses the top of your head.

You're always able to fall asleep a lot better when it's in his arms.

"The past is our definition. We may strive, with good reason, to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it, but we will escape it only by adding something better to it." - Wendell Berry

04x02 - The Three Wise Monkeys

First S4 episode filmed. Filmed mid May 1988.

Armed robberies are rife in Sun Hill and Ted is grumpy. Yesterday he was moaning about being deskbound and today he's moaning about too many jobs at once. When they arrive at the scene it appears that their suspects have carjacked a woman in a blue Ford.

Two DC's are coming from Somerset to collect a prisoner of Ted's that he's already had in Custody for 28 hours. Ted wants another 24 hours to hold him so he can question him but Christine and Bob won't hear of it.

Tom is clearly still struggling as he struggles to calm his breathing while dealing with coordinating officers to find the Ford Sierra. Brownlow is also in CAD so he's trying his hardest to keep it under wraps. The mentioning of guns has quite obviously unnerved him.

Ted and Mike are driving around on the off-chance of seeing the car until its location is reported. Ted is irritated that 'the carrot crunchers are on the way down with a warrant' for his suspect. Ted spots a blue Sierra and 'camouflages' the car so they can take a drive-by.

Does he carry these around with him always? 🤣🤣 TSG locate the car as they drive by making Ted and Mike take large sighs of relief!

Bob and Alec discuss Tom as both have noticed that he's twitchy and has a bottle of alcohol in his locker. Bob says he'll talk to him. Christine catches part of the conversation and says she'd appreciate it if he did talk to him because there's only so long she can turn a blind eye. She then asks Alec to treat the Somerset transfer 'by the book'. Bob tells Alec he could get arrested for what he's thinking when Christine walks off and Alec adds that he could 'get seriously out of order with her'.

Yorkie and June speed off to find the car with TSG on board. Yorkie follows to observe as he was told to by Brownlow but TSG claim he has the three wise monkeys in the back and so should follow faster because they can't stop the car from this far behind. They patronise June and tell her to be a good girl and not report it to Sun Hill and one of them will 'show her his piece later'.

The Somerset boys are charmed by Viv and keep trying to chat her up - she's not having any of it. Christine warns Jim that Ted has a short time left to update the file on the suspect because he's going back to Somerset whether Ted likes it or not.

The pursuit continues around a car park with Yorkie and June almost getting shot as the suspect fires at the windscreen. It's a farce from start to end. TSG are locked in the back and can't get out to fire back. When they manage to, Yorkie is inches away from losing his head when the one who patronised June fires without enough warning. Yorkie's revenge is perfect.

Brownlow storms through the station shouting with Alec telling Jim he hasn't heard him lose his nut like that in years. Jim asks what's wrong but before Alec can tell him they're found earwigging by Christine. (Hello Derek just behind Christine who has just arrived!)

Brownlow is angry that the officers got so close to the armed men and that they almost got shot and orders Derek to set up a meeting with all concerned for 1pm in his office.

In CAD Tom is falling apart as Ken and Reg chat. He turns away from them to try hide a panic attack. "You're alright, it's over... no guns... there's no guns, it's over!!" he keeps trying to tell himself before he tries to get in his locker for a drink. Bob finds him and reassures him that he's alright and tries to calm his breathing. "What's happening to me, Bob?!" Tom sobs, clinging to him.

In the canteen, Yorkie and June are clearly shellshocked. Christine asks June to follow her out to comfort her privately so no one else sees her cry, "Let it go, there's no men in here..." The TSG Sgt asks Yorkie to not make a complaint against the officer for firing without warning at a departing suspect. Yorkie reminds him they were told to keep a distance away and that he almost shot him and could have shot a passerby. The Sgt promises he'll discipline him when they return to TSG and he'll square what happened with Brownlow as long as Yorkie keeps it quiet. Reluctantly he agrees and the man calms the situation in the meeting as promised.

Ted pulls in to the yard in time to see his suspect being taken away. He shouts at the two officers to take him back inside and the officer tells Ted to back off or he'll bounce his head around the yard. The suspect breaks the tension and Ted storms inside to deal with Jim for "letting him go". Jim tells him he has nothing after keeping the prisoner for 30 hours and Mike tells him he's made his point. Ted tells Jim to continue. Jim says it's easier to work with the system than bend it. 'Surely you learned that through Galloway's mistakes?!" They've really made Ted look like a poor copper for this changeover of DI's. Clearly the bending to fit the storyline started early (!) (Also wonder if they were trying to infer that Roy left under a cloud or if that referred to Roy as a whole?)

Tom takes a breather in the men's toilets when Ted arrives with his hipflask. He offers it to Tom who sidesteps him. Jim in turn goes to Uncle Bob and tells him he thinks CID might have been a big mistake. Bob tells him that rollockings happen, it won't be the first or last time. Jim thinks he's going to have to watch his back and Bob tells him that Ted is not a backstabber and - if it was the right thing to do, he has nothing to fear from Ted. Jim confesses he told Ted to work with the system. Bob laughs and tells him he's been telling him that for years. "But I'm just a DC." Bob reassures him that Ted would be the first to acknowledge that rank doesn't have the monopoly on being right.

Ted goes to talk to Christine about his suspect being taken by Somerset officers. She closes the door behind him and tells him that they haven't had much time to work out how the other works but he left Alec in an awkward position with no way of keeping the man longer. Ted insists he gets results but Christine points out her pips means her way is the way to go.

The TSG officer thanks Yorkie and June for not telling Brownlow what really happened. June scoffs and asks if he still wants to show her his piece? "Hard-nosed bitch!" he spits after her as both walk off to go sit with Tom, showing him their support.

[pleistocene-pride]

Happy Halloween: Anomalocaris is an extinct genus of radiodont, an order of early-diverging stem-group arthropods which lived during the Cambrian period around 521 to 497 million years ago. Anomalocaris has been misidentified several times, in part due to its makeup of a mixture of mineralized and unmineralized body parts; the mouth and frontal appendage was considerably harder and more easily fossilized than the delicate body. Anomalocaris fossils were first collected in 1886 and 1888 by Richard G. McConnell of the Geological Survey of Canada, these specimens were described and named in 1892 by paleontologist Joseph Frederick Whiteaves.The specimens are now known to represent isolated frontal appendages, but Whiteaves interpreted them as the abdomens of phyllocarid crustaceans. Noting its unusual anatomy for the abdomen of a crustacean, Whiteaves gave it the name Anomalocaris, meaning "unlike other shrimps". In 1928, Danish paleontologist Kai Henriksen recongnized that Tuzoia, a Burgess Shale arthropod which was known only from the carapace, represented the missing front half of Anomalocaris. In 1966, the Geological Survey of Canada began a comprehensive revision of the Burgess Shale fossil record, led by Harry B. Whittington. In the process of this revision, Whittington and his students Simon Conway Morris and Derek Briggs would establish the true nature of Anomalocaris and its relatives formally in 1985. Today at least 4 named species are known from Australia, Canada, China and the USA, including A. Canadensis, A. whiteavesi, A. gigantean, and A. cranbrookensis. ‬Reaching 1.5 to 3.5 feet in length, anomalocaris had a percular appearance, with two up to seven inch long hard but flexible Frontal appendages which protruded out of the head of the animal above an unusual disk-like mouth known as oral cone, and infront of two huge oval shaped compound eyes. It had a softer, wide body which sported flexible flaps on the sides. Each flap sloped below the one more posterior to it, this overlapping allowed the lobes on each side of the body to act as a single "fin", which when used in conjunction with its rudder like tail furcae and telson, allowed anomalocaris to swim quiet efficiently. In life anomalocaris dwelled in a variety of habitats from shallow coastal seas to the open ocean, and would have occupied the niche of apex predator, however the idea that Anomalocaris fed on hard-bodied animals such as trilobites, has been questioned, as its relatively weak radiodont mouthparts may not have been able to handle strong mineralized exoskeletons. Instead anomalocaris may have fed primarily upon jellyfish, worms, and other softer bodied creatures. Another possibility is that Anomalocaris fed by grabbing one end of their prey in its oral cone while using its frontal appendages to twist and rock the other end of the animal, causing the prey's exoskeleton to rupture and allow the predator to access its innards. This behavior may have provided an evolutionary pressure for trilobites to roll up, to avoid being flexed until they snapped.
