"His son, Joseph, an organic chemist, had once announced that he'd decided early on against forensic toxicology: he could never have so many lives and deaths on his conscience. His father understood him. Because sometimes the dead did walk in Alexander Gettler's sleep, sometimes they rattled in the black chair of Sing Sing, and always, as he admitted in that last vulnerable interview, 'I keep asking myself, have I done everything right?"
Deborah Blum, 'The Poisoner's Handbook'.

Until the early nineteenth century few tools existed to detect a toxic substance in a corpse. Sometimes investigators deduced poison from the violent sickness that preceded death, or built a case by feeding animals a victim's last meal, but more often than not poisoners walked free. As a result murder by poison flourished. It became so common in eliminating perceived difficulties, such as a wealthy parent who stayed alive too long, that the French nicknamed the metallic element arsenic poudre de succession, the inheritance powder.
The chemical revolution of the 1880s changed the relative ease of such killings. Scientists learned to isolate and identify the basic elements and the chemical compounds that define life on Earth, gradually building a catalog, The Periodic Table of the Elements. In 1804, the elements palladium, cerium, iridium, osmium, and rhodium were discovered; potassium and sodium were isolated in 1807; barium, calcium, magnesium, and strontium in 1808; chlorine in 1810. Once researchers understood individual elements they went on to study them in combination, examining how elements bonded to create exotic compounds and familiar substances, such as the sodium-chlorine combination that creates basic table salt (NaCl).
The pioneering scientists who worked in elemental chemistry weren't thinking about poison in particular. But others were. In 1814, in the middle of this blaze of discovery, the Spanish chemist Mathieu Orfila published a treatise on poisons and their detection, the first book of its kind. Orfila suspected that metallic poisons like arsenic might be the easiest to detect in the body's tissues and pushed his research in that direction. By the late 1830s the first test for isolating arsenic had been developed. Within a decade more reliable tests had been devised and were being used successfully in criminal prosecutions.
But the very science that made it possible to identify the old poisons, like arsenic, also made available a lethal array of new ones. Morphine was isolated in 1804, the same year that palladium was discovered. In 1819 strychnine was extracted from the seeds of the Asian vomit button tree (Strychnos nux vomica). The lethal compound coniine was isolated from hemlock the same year. Chemists neatly extracted nicotine from tobacco leaves in 1828. Aconitine â described by one toxicologist as âin its pure state, perhaps the most potent poison knownâ â was found in the beautifully flowering monkshood plant in 1832.
And although researchers had learned to isolate these alkaloids â organic (carbon-based) compounds with some nitrogen mixed in â they had no idea how to find such poisons in human tissue. Orfila himself, conducting one failed attempt after another, worried that it was an impossible task. One exasperated French prosecutor, during a mid-nineteenth-century trial involving a morphine murder, exclaimed: âHenceforth let us tell would-be poisoners; do not use metallic poisons for they leave traces. Use plant poisons...Fear nothing; your crime will go unpunished. There is no corpus delecti [physical evidence] for it cannot be found.â
So began a deadly cat and mouse game â scientists and poisoners as intellectual adversaries. A gun may be fired in a flash of anger, a rock carelessly hurled, a shovel swung in sudden fury, but a homicidal poisoning requires a calculating intelligence. Unsurprisingly, then, when metallic poisons, such as arsenic, became detectable in bodies, informed killers turned away from them. A survey of poison prosecutions in Britain found that, by the mid-nineteenth century, arsenic killings were decreasing. The trickier plant alkaloids were by then more popular among murderers.
In response, scientists increased their efforts to capture alkaloids in human tissue. Finally, in 1860, a reclusive and single-minded French chemist, Jean Servais Stas, figured out how to isolate nicotine, an alkaloid of the tobacco plant, from a corpse. Other plant poisons soon became more accessible and chemists were able to offer new assistance to criminal investigations. The field of toxicology was becoming something to be reckoned with, especially in Europe.
The knowledge, and the scientific determination, spread across the Atlantic to the United States. The 1896 book Medical Jurisprudence, Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, cowritten by a New York research chemist and a law professor, documented the still-fierce competition between scientists and killers. In one remarkable case in New York, a physician had killed his wife with morphine and then put belladonna drops in her eyes to counter the telltale contractions of her pupils. He was conviced only after Columbia University chemist Rudolph Witthaus, one of the authors of the 1896 text, demonstrated the process to the jury by killing a cat in the courtroom using the same gruesome technique. There was as much showmanship as science, Witthaus admitted; toxicology remained a primitive field of research filled with âquestions still unanswerableâ.

The Intersection of Medicine and Forensic Toxicology
Introduction Medicine and forensic toxicology are two closely related fields that intersect in the investigation of crimes, accidents, and other incidents involving toxic substances. Forensic toxicology plays a crucial role in determining the presence and effects of drugs, chemicals, and poisons in biological samples. This article explores the connection between medicine and forensic toxicology,âŠ

Speaking of killing
Did you know pigs can almost digest everything in the human body aside from the teeth?
Just. A fun fact. Totally not anything illegal. ^^ âȘ
That's hot. I'd feed a man to a pig. Also not surprising in the slightest, knowing. Well. Pigs. Did you know Oxyclean and the like will remove almost all remnants of bloodstains from forensic detection?
#f asks#I think forensics is so interesting honestly#I could prattle off about toxicology too lol#cc fun

What weird or unexplainable thing has happened in your real life that inspired your writing?
When I did my internship as a death investigator, I had a case of a young man, in the CJ class behind mine, who died in his sleep. He was buried with no known case of death.
When I read a new toxicology report, he had to be exhumed. I was fresh out of an advanced microbiology class. When I saw a bacterium named Clostridium perfringens in a new test of his cardiac blood, I knew this unfortunate and promising young man died of acute bacterial endocarditis. The body was exhumed and an autopsy was done. The pathologist confirmed my finding.
This kid's heart valves were eaten away by the toxic bacterium. It came from tainted vaccines prior to his deployment to Iraq in Gulf War One. He was twenty-three.
It inspired one of my manuscripts, BY HIGHER AUTHORITY; a military thriller about a Navy pathologist who sees the connections between multiple sudden-death cases of active-duty personnel.

Why Are Goyim Obsessed With Bad People Being The Fault of The Jews?
How many times have we seen the speculation that certain truly horrific historical people must Jewish based the stringing of threads. Or the that said horrific people are horrific because of the Jews.
How many times have seen Hitler was actually a Jew conspiracy or that Hitler only became the way he did because he denied entry to art school by Jews conspiracy?
Not just with historical figures we all have seen how often it gets mentioned that Roy Cohen, Jew, and they sure do make a point to highlight that Jew part was behind Donald Trump being who he is.
Think about Henry Kissinger and how much him Jewish gets highlighted when talking his influence on Presidents Ford and Nixon, even though he hated being Jewish.
And of course we can not forget the all time go to Christopher Columbus as the secret Jew.
And now that is being reported to be in fact true. Just look at how everyone is reporting it.
Only that is not the case.
The documentary Columbus DNA. His True Origin, broadcast on Spainâs National Holiday suggests that the explorer was not Genoese and Christian but Spanish and Jewish. The absolute protagonist of the documentary, forensic scientist JosĂ© Antonio Lorente, has not yet published any scientific study to back his claims. The documentary is presented in the style of a reality show in which Lorente systematically discounts other theories, including that Columbus was Castilian, Portuguese, Galician, Mallorcan or a Cagot. It culminates with a scene in which only one possibility remains, the one put forward by architect Francesc Albardaner, author of the book La catalanitat de Colom (or, The Catalonian Origins of Columbus).
But geneticist Antonio Alonso, former chief of the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences, is not convinced: âUnfortunately, from the scientific point of view, no assessment can be made after watching the documentary, since it does not provide any data on what has been analyzed. My conclusion is that the documentary Columbus DNA does not show the DNA of Columbus at any given moment and scientists do not know what analysis has been undertaken.â
Forensic anthropologist Miguel Botella, also from the University of Granada, remembers that day in 2003 when he waited for the box containing the supposed bones of Christopher Columbus to be opened. âEveryone expected to be greeted by an intact Columbus, but there were only 150 grams of bone fragments,â he says with a smile. The largest would have been about four centimeters in length.
Lorente then said that he was going to analyze the DNA of the three alleged members of the Columbus family with the help of prestigious geneticists, such as Ăngel Carracedo from the University of Santiago de Compostela; and Mark Stoneking, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Leipzig, Germany, one of the worldâs most prestigious centers for the analysis of ancient DNA. Carracedo recalls that the DNA that reached him was tremendously degraded, and he too distanced himself from the project. Moreover, he refuses to comment on Lorenteâs new results until there is a serious scientific study published in a specialized journal. The response of the Max Planck Institute geneticist to questions from EL PAĂS were similar: âI am sorry, my group stopped working on this in 2005 and I have not heard anything about the most recent results,â said Stoneking.
According to geneticist Antonio Alonso, âIt is not the done thing for data that the scientific community has not yet endorsed to be presented to society, as it puts the data itself at risk as well as the proposed theory.â Alonso is also surprised by the absence of experts from the U.S. and Australia in the film whose contribution Lorente describes as essential. âHere there is too much protagonism from only one scientist. Neither the Granada team nor the collaborating ancient DNA laboratories in California and Adelaide, which are said to be of great importance in the success of the analyses, appear in the film,â he points out. Recently retired, Alonso is one of Spainâs leading experts in forensic genetics. He worked on the identification of the victims of Madridâs 11-M terror attacks; on the investigation of dozens of reports of alleged baby thefts; on the recognition of Spanish Civil War victims and even on the attempts to find the remains of the writer Miguel de Cervantes. He claims that the documentary Columbus DNA does not speak to him as a scientist. âWe do not know which DNA regions were analyzed, nor the technology used in the analysis, nor the results obtained, which makes it impossible to make a correct assessment of the findings,â he says.
Alonso explains that there are clusters of genetic variants called haplotypes or haplogroups that tend to be inherited together and may be characteristic of certain family lineages, but he adds that they often coincide with those of other groups in historically Jewish or non-Jewish populations. âIn any case, having a genealogy, a haplogroup or a haplotype of Jewish or Sephardic ancestry does not call into question Columbusâ birthplace in Genoa as stated by historical sources, nor does it tell us anything about the religious beliefs professed by the generations of relatives close to Columbus,â he says.
Rodrigo Barquera is a Mexican expert in archeogenetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Barquera has conducted DNA studies of human remains prior to the arrival of Europeans in America, such as those of children sacrificed by the Maya at ChichĂ©n-ItzĂĄ in Mexico. The researcher is very critical of the fact the data have been presented via a documentary, and without the backing of a serious scientific article reviewed by independent experts, especially given the enormous interest in the figure of Christopher Columbus and his origins. âNormally, the article is sent to a scientific journal,â he says. âThe journal assigns an editor and at least three independent reviewers who rate the paper and decide if it is scientifically valid. If it is, it is published, and then the rest of the scientific community can say whether they agree or not. Putting it on a screen, removed from this process and with all the media focus on it, makes it difficult for the scientific community to say anything about it.â
Antonio Salas heads the Population Genetics in Biomedicine team at Santiago de Compostelaâs Health Investigation Institute. âThe documentary promised to focus on DNA analysis, as suggested by its title Columbus DNA: His True Origins,â he says. âHowever, the genetic information it offers is very limited. Only at the end is it mentioned that the only thing that was recovered from the presumed remains of Christopher Columbus was a partial profile of the Y chromosome. The problem is that the Y chromosome represents only a tiny fraction of our DNA and our ancestry.â âThe documentary rushes to a conclusion that Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew originally from the Spanish Levant. This hypothesis is, to say the least, surprising: there is no Y chromosome that can be uniquely defined as Sephardic-Jewish,â argues Salas. âEven if all of an individualâs DNA were recovered, it would still be impossible to reach definitive conclusions about his or her exact geographic origin.
So when science seems to much more aligned with Columbus not being why then is everyone reporting him as Jewish. And why do goyim keep blaming every evil deed, every action, every evil choice and every evil person on Jews?

I recently found out the reason a disproportionate amount of people in the turn of the 19th/20th centuries died in gruesome rail accidents was not because people were really stupid about railroad safety. Apparently drugging/poisoning someone (usually travelers), robbing them and placing their body on the train tracks to be dismembered was a notorious scheme. Forensic science was in its infancy making toxicological analysis difficult. Authorities would just assume the deceased wandered onto the tracks while drunk and fell asleep there before getting hit by the train.

The Tattoo
Aaron Hotchner x fem!reader
Criminal Minds x Supernatural
Summary: Your first humankind case reveals a new HotchnerÂŽs side you didnÂŽt know.
Content Warning: Flirty Hotch, Homicide description, Abuse, Rape, Violence, Triggering situations. (Please let me know if I let something out.)
Note: This is my version of the episode "Jones" in the early seasons, I changed a lot of the things but not all of them, It is just how I would've liked the case to be in my opinion, and obviously added a bunch of other things to fit the thread of my story, like Jason Gideon not being there. I hope you like it.
âShort stuff, are you ready?âÂ
âNopeâ
âCome on, youâre going to be just fine.â Morgan gifted you a reassuring smile.
This was your first time filling in for a member of the group. Normally it wasnât necessary, but the team was reduced to four. Emily was on mandatory vacation and JJ stayed at home to take care of a sick Henry, so now your presence was requested.
âItâs not what Iâm used to.â
âNo itâs not, but you are a great agent and will do just fine.â He said gently squeezing your arm. âYou will charm them all.âÂ
âOf course I will, there is no doubt.â You smiled back.
âLetâs go then.âÂ
You both walked to the briefing room where the rest of the team was waiting, Morgan quickly walked to the empty chair In front of you, slightly pushing you to the side, leaving you with no option but to sit next to Hotch, not that you minded but lately all the members of the team have been acting a little weird.
You looked at Morgan with a questioning look but he completely ignored you and lowered his gaze to read the case files.
âWe have a serial killer in New Orleans. Two menâs dead bodies were found over the last month, and a third body was found last night, the same MO, male, throat slashed, they were all found in semi-public places in the French Quarter.â You heard Penelope explain. âThe local police have no leads and no suspects so far, Mike Weller, the head detective is waiting for you.â
Hotch nodded and looked at everyone in the room. âWheels up in thirty.â He said before disappearing out the door.Â
â
When arriving, Hotch sent you and Reid to the forensic lab to examine the body.
âNo hesitation marks.â You said pointing to the terrible wounds.
Spencer nodded. âCuts are methodical and almost procedural.â
The forensic doctor looked at both of you. âThe person who did this definitely had medical training, thereâs no other way he could have done this.â
âHe?â You glaze up to the doctor.
âNo defensive wounds and took out pretty big men.â You frowned. âAlthough all the toxicology tests showed signs of alcohol.âÂ
âAny relatives came to claim the body?â Spencer asked.
The doctor nodded. âHis wife came with his former colleague.â Both of you looked at him with a confused expression. âHe was a retired officer.â
âThe lead detective didnât say anything about that.â
âIâm not surprised, he wasnât popular at all, he had a reputation for being a dirty cop.âÂ
âIâll call Garcia.â You said getting your phone out.
But suddenly Spencerâs phone began to ring and he immediately answered. âWhere? Okay, weâll be there.â He looked at you as he got off the phone. âAnother body was found, call her on the way there.âÂ
â
âSame MO.â Morgan informed. âSome people saw him leave the bar down the street.âÂ
âSo, he was drunk just like the other victim.â You said while eyeing the Weller. âDo we know his profession?â
âDoes it matter?â He asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
You step aside standing closer to him and shrugging your shoulders. âHumor me, detective.â
Detective Weller side-eyed you but nodded. âHe was a well-known lawyer.â
âI see.â You crossed your arms while raising an eyebrow. âYou forgot to mention that the fourth victim was a cop who used to work at your police station.â
âI donât think it is relevant to the case.â Weller huffed.
âWell, we donât know that yet.â You insisted. âDo we?â
The BAU men were looking at your disagreement with confusion, and suddenly a strong back wearing a gray and elegant suit got in between, blocking your vision. It took only a few seconds to recognize that it belonged to Hotchner.
âWe would like to have access to all of the information available, itâs vital to be able to get the unsubâs profile.ïżœïżœ You heard Aaron talking to the detective.
âSure, Agent Hotchner.â After Weller left the crime scene, Hotch turned around to see you.
âYou are riding with me.â Hotch left the place hurriedly making you roll your eyes and toss your keys at Spencer.
You manage to keep up with Hotchâs pace and climb up on the SUV, some minutes passed and neither of you talked, but you got tired of the unbearable silence.
âIf youâre going to scold me, just do it now.â
âIâm not.â
âHotch he was in the wrong, you know that, right?â
âIâm aware.â You shot him a puzzled look.
âThen why get in the middle of my conversation?â
âBecause that wasnât a conversation, he was starting to raise his voice.â
âI can take it, Hotchner.â
âI know you can, doesnât mean I want you to.â You felt how your facial expression softened at his comment. âListen, some of these detectives think we are here to make them look bad, they feel threatened.â
You rolled your eyes. âHow are their insecurities my fault?â
Hotch chuckled a bit. âThey are not, just go easy on them so we can keep the case.â
â
You, Hotch, and Spencer stayed at the precinct to read all the new information about the victims while Rossi and Morgan left to talk with the new possible witnesses. Currently, you are on your third cup of coffee and your fifth case file.
âI canât believe we were missing all this information.â You hissed.
âSimmer down.â Hotch murmured.
You looked at the evidence board leaning against the table, focusing on the victim's photos, and frowning when looking closer.
âOh.â
âYou found something new?â Spencer asked.
âHmm, have you seen that all the victims have tattoos?â Both men got closer to look at the photos.Â
âWell actually, in some religions tattoos are forbidden because they think of the body as a temple.â Spencer babbled and immediately stood up from his chair. âSome other religions even think that if you get a tattoo, youâre not allowed in heaven.â
âReally?â A look of confusion crossed your face.
Spencer quickly nodded while pointing up with his finger. âYou shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:28.â He added.
âSo, we think this is a religious matter?â You asked.
âIt could be a coincidence. Letâs ask Garcia if she can find something about it.â Spencer took his phone and left the room, leaving you and Hotch alone, looking at the board side to side.
âWell, thatâs concerning. You know, some tattoos are meant to protect you.â
Hotch turned his head towards you. âWhat do you mean?â
âThereâs this kind of tattoos that are protection symbols, usually hunters get them.â
âYou have one?â Hotchâs upright posture was visibly shaken.
âI'm no hunter.â You said before walking back to the table, Hotch following you. âBut yes, I do have one.â
âIâve never seen a tattoo on you.â Hotch frowns
âThatÂŽs because itâs not in a visible spot.â You giggled while turning your back on Hotch to take out another stack of files.
Hotchâs eyes were found unconsciously roaming over your body. He had seen you in the summer, in short skirts and tiny tops, or with risky cleavages, hell he even had seen you in your pajamas when you shared a hotel room once or twice, but he never noticed any tattoos. That can only mean one last place.Â
Hotch knew you were busy getting the files so his eyes ended up going down your back to your ass, He was positive your tattoo was on your hip or ass.Â
You could feel Hotchâs eyes going down and up your body, You even turned your back on him longer than needed, so he could linger his sight on you even longer. Anyone couldâve said it was just Hotchâs curiosity but you saw that tiny shade of lust, sparkle in his eyes for a brief moment when you mentioned you having a tattoo.
You turned your body in a slow move and caught him still hypnotized by your body. âLooking for something Hotch?â
âHips or ass, agent?â He asked with a straight face but his voice showed a hint of playfulness. He was teasing you.
The question made you smirk. âYouâre not gonna hear it from me, youâre going to need to find out in another way, Sir.â
But before he could open his mouth to speak, Spencer came back to the room with bad news.
âAnother body appeared, no tattoo.â
â
âBody number five, we can barely keep up with this guy.â you heard in the distance.
âDo we know who he is?â Hotch asked.
âSince it matters so much, His friend says he is a salesman.â Weller said, sending a nasty look at you. âNo connection.â
âDetective Weller, I would appreciate it if your answer were directed at me. When I ask a question.â Hotch replied.
Weller huffed with irritation and you thought you heard him grumble something, but youâre not sure if he was agreeing with Hotch or cursing you under his breath. âWe have five bodies, Agent Hotchner, and no correlation.â
âOkay, all victims were partying late at night with their friends and killed in the alley with no one noticing, how did the unsub manage to get them alone?â Hotch looked at his team, they were all lost in thoughts.
âA woman.â Detective Weller's mocking laughter echoed in the room.
âLet her finish.â It only took the look on Hotchâs eyes to harden, to force Weller to shut up.
âWhat is the only temptation for a straight man thatâs going to lure him away from his friends and make him leave the bar?â Your expecting eyes were moving around glancing at your teamâs faces.
âA woman.â Rossi repeated while nodding his head.
Hotch turned on his heels and looked at the detective. âGather your men, we are ready to give a profile.âÂ
â
âReady?â Hotch whispered in your ear, making the baby hairs on the back of your neck stand at the sound of his voice.
âWhat?â You whispered back feeling numb by his closeness.
âReady to give the profile?âÂ
âHotch, Iâve never gi-.â Your voice trails off. âI donât think it is a good idea.â
âIt is.â He assured you pushing you to the side and walking to the room full of cops.
Lost in your thoughts you barely felt two hands holding your arms from behind, giving you a light squeeze. âYou got this, Kid.â Rossi left your side and followed Hotch in the other precinct's room.
You sighed and took a deep breath. This was your first time profiling a human case, not covering up supernatural events or rehearsing made-up stories. This felt different, good different.
You walked confidently and stood in the middle of the room surrounded by your team.
âWe are looking for a woman between 30 and 35, sheâs friendly, sheâll lure with charm but kill with rage.â You began your speech, feeling every pair of eyes looking at you with attention. âWe believe she kills men to reclaim her power.âÂ
âShe probably suffers from low self-esteem but covers it well.â You heard Morgan's voice.
âWe believe this woman went through a catastrophic event, thatâs when the killing started.â Rossi pointed.
âShe has medical training, you should consider EMTs, doctors, or veterinarians.âÂ
âItâs more likely we are dealing with the Aileen Wournos archetype, motivated by paranoia and fear, luring men with sex.â Spencer added.
âShe certainly knows the terrain, so be careful out there.â Hotch remarked.
A couple of hours later after the profile, Detective Weller came in a hurry with a piece of paper in an evidence bag.
âForensics found a letter on the victim's body.â He said handing it over to Hotch. âSheâs mocking us.â
âDear boss, he wanted it. With that sharp tongue and vulgar hand. I thought youâd like to know that another will soon get what he deserves.
Yours truly.â Â
âThat 's weird.â All eyes searched Spencerâs voice. âTypically offenders write letters to be heard. Jack the Ripper bragged about not being caught yet this Unsub isnât using correspondence to flaunt her latest kill. Only to explain why she did it.â He explained while moving his hands around.
âItâs possible that she considers herself a vigilante. That the man sheâs killing deserves to die.â Rossi blurted.
âThen, every kill sheâs acting out is a fantasy of revenge or a real revenge?â Everyone in the room returned to their thoughts wondering at Morganâs question.
You shifted in your place with uncertainty. âMaybe she is contacting us not because we are on the case, but because she believes we understand.â With fingers tapping against the wood, you began to unravel the tiny hints in the letter. âThe Unsub wrote, He wanted it as she couldnât help herself. What if sheâs mirroring the man who raped her?â
âWhere are the files stored from your Sex Crimes Division?â Hotch looked at Wellerâs direction.
The detective stepped out of the room momentarily and returned with a medium-sized carton box with a few files that barely stuck out of the box. âHere they are.â
âThat 's it?â You let out with a surprised tone of voice.
After several hours of trying to match your profile with any file in the box, you were exhausted. You decided to take a quick break and enter the bathroom, You locked yourself inside one of the bathroom booths and sighed while your hands held your head.
The sound of the door being opened ripped you out of your pessimistic thoughts. Suddenly a hand left a piece of paper report at your feet, leaving you uncertain on what to do. You tried to thank the person but, you were answered with fast footsteps leaving the place.
You took the paper and read in a whispered voice, Disturbance at Jones.
~~
âCare to tell us what happened then, detective?â Hotch asked.
Detective Weller shifted in his seat with discomfort. âHow did you know about this incident?â
âIt was in the box you gave us, Weller.â Morgan said while leaning against the wall, looking directly at Weller.
âI donât think so.â
âMaybe you misplaced it, who cares?â You argued.Â
He looked at you with disdain. Aaron couldnât help himself and stepped closer to you showing protection. âThis happened when the head detective before me was in charge, I took some of the declarations but thatâs it.â
You smirked with satisfaction Knowing you were right all along. âThe detective before you as our third victim?â He nodded.
âWhat happened there, detective?âÂ
âOne of the boys asked her if she wanted to play pool. Witnesses claim she was up for anything. His friend, not far behind.â All the eyes were on him. âHe claims she knew he was there, She said she claimed for help but not a single person claimed that they heard her.â
You shook your head in disbelief.Â
He continued, âThatâs why it was registered as a disturbance. She wanted to press charges. But the head detective back then told her it was a waste of time.â
âHow is this just a disturbance?â Rossi asked, frowning at Weller.
âAs far as I was concerned, no such rape ever took place, and the boy was a colleagueâs son, he is a good boy.â
Something in your stomach twisted and anger started to build up.
âWe are trying to know her name; she could be our Unsub.â Morgan pointed out. Weller sighed when this realization dawned on him, but he slightly shook his head as he was ashamed of not knowing the answer.Â
But you were sure shame wasnât a feeling men like that could understand.
âYou donât remember her name?â Morgan asked with incredulity.
âIt was nine years ago.âÂ
âWhat about the name of the good kid that raped her?â You bickered.
~~
âMr. Tibideaux, we need you to answer a few questions about a disturbance you were involved with.â Hotchâs voice resonated inside the four walls of the interrogation room.
âI donât know what you are talking about.â
Disgust appeared in your face, but you hid it by biting your tongue. You didnât know why Hotch asked you to be there, but you hated every minute of it.
âAt a bar called Jones, It was Mardi Gras.â Hotch reminded him.
âYou know, then I mustâve been drinking or something. Cause I donât remember a thing.â
With your feet tapping the floor, you were counting the seconds to be able to leave the room and be away from the so-called good boy.
âWe just need to know the name of your accuser.â Hotch demanded. If he was annoyed there was no way to know.
âLook, I told you. I donât know what you are talking aboutâ
You roughly massaged your right temple, fuming.
âThe statute of limitations is up, we just need a name.â He added calmly.
âSomeone accuses me of rape, Iâm gonna remember her name.â You taunted.
âWell, what can I tell you, Cher? I guess she didnât make that good of an impression.â
Your eyes narrowed dismissively.
âUnlike yourself right now.â You retorted.
âYou know. Iâm guessing if someone did do something to that girl that night then she was probably asking for it. Maybe even liked it.â
You controlled the urge to smash his head against the table and abruptly took the file out of Hotchâs hands, you opened it and began to display all the victim's photos in front of him.
âYou know Hotch, maybe we are not too late, she murdered these men and Iâm guessing itâs only a matter of time before she works her way back to the one she really wants to kill.â You tilted your head to look at him but he was busy looking at the pictures with a horrified look. âIs she making an impression now?
Your words suggested you were talking to Hotch but your sight was set on the other man in the room.
âYou donât want to tell us, fine.â You snickered. âCause Daddy canât make this go away, and I have no problem waiting for your dead body to give me a new hint.â Â
You leaned closer, you didnât have to talk anymore, you knew your eyes were saying enough. But you continued.
âIn fact, I wouldnât like anything else, so Iâm gonna go ahead and set my alarm for tomorrow morning when I get the call from the police.â You ranted. âCause, believe me, Iâm going to sleep better knowing there is one less offender out of the streets.â
After hearing the name you needed, you stormed out of the room leaving everyone behind without looking back until you heard a voice calling for you.
âThat was out of line, agent.â You abruptly stopped and turned on your heels to look at Weller.Â
âThe only thing out of line is how pathetic you are at doing your job, Weller.â You turned back at him one more time and kept waking till reaching a quiet corner to make a phone call.
âWork me.â You hear Penelopeâs voice on your phone.
âWe have a name. Sarah Danlin. I need an address.â
â1141 Sherman Avenue. It looks like she was a med student at Tulane but she dropped out.â
âLet me guess, February nine years ago.â
âYeah.â
âThanks.âÂ
~~
You returned to the hotel room by Hotchnerâs request, and you knew he was in the right to send you back, you got carried away by your emotions.Â
You were a mess. Closing your room door, you let your emotions overpower you once more. Tears were falling down your face. You werenât sure what you were feeling. No one ever prepared you for this kind of case, you felt powerless, empty, and lost. And finally, rage possessed your emotions.
You tossed glasses and trails of empty dishes, and your luggage and clothes flew around the room until your energy and strength gave up and tiredness reached you.
You are sure the hotel staff let Hotch know, cause he kept checking with you constantly. He let you know when they arrested her and how she told them she killed every man who helped cover up her abuse.
You heard your door being open and looked at Hotchner with a questioning look when you saw him standing there.
âHow did you open my door?âÂ
He showed you his key. âWe are sharing.â
You frowned. âSince when?â
âSince now, there has been an unexpected cut in the budget.â You nodded knowing it was a lie and he probably wanted to check on you. But you said nothing.
âSome things fall by themselves, I think thereâs a ghost.â You said when you caught him looking at the mess on the floor.
âI think you can manage that.âÂ
He left his duffel bag on the floor and sat next to you on the bed.Â
âAre you okay?â He asked.
That simple question was enough to break your strong façade. It was a question you normally have no problem answering with a lie, and you didnât know if it was the situation or just because Hotch was the one asking. But it brought you down to tears.Â
He took you in his arms and hugged you tight.
âIâm sorry.âÂ
âIt 's okay.â He softly mumbled on your head reassuring you. âYou said what you needed to say.â
You quickly shook your head.
âI meant it.â You sniffled. âI was willing to wait.â
âI know.â He said while caressing your back with soothing movements.Â
âSo, normally you have to deal with these detectives making your job impossible?â
âYeah, all the time.â He chuckled.Â
âGod, itâs exhausting.â You laugh a littleÂ
âYou donât?â
âNo, they basically beg me to take the case out of their hands.âÂ
Hotch sighed. âYou need to learn new methods for the interrogation.â He searched for your eyes. âI mean, only if you want to keep coming to these cases with us, you want to?â
âYeah.â You smiled at him.
âYou are a profiler now, welcome to the team.â
~~
Back in Quantico, you were getting ready to leave your office when you got a call from an unknown number. You hesitated but finally answered after letting it ring for a couple of seconds.
âHello?â
âHey, sweetheart.â
âDean?â You frowned looking back at the number.
âWe need a little bit of help.â Reality sank on you.
âTell me you are not calling from where I think you are calling.âÂ
âAgent Henriksen got to us.â
âDamn it, Dean, How the heck did he manage to do that?â
âBella Talbot.â
âThat bitch again?â You sighed. âWhere are you?â
âColorado.â
âIâm on my way.â

Wording is fine my liege đ«Ą everything was perfectly understandable.
But also buying a book on poisons first thing is such a mood. I love poisons. It's fascinating to see how they work and affect the human body. I remember my biology lesson on neurotoxins fondly.
Thank you for talking poisons to me đâšâš
This was excellent content! Have a gold star â
VV do you have more poisonous plants in your garden? If so what kind? Please talk poison to me my liege đ„șđ„șđ„ș
Fun fact:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9188e7380a1da97dbdeda0e37657c237/f1f13517d1c47594-4c/s640x960/51a3d627d2251f7eb73b514aee7d235ff0218d1e.jpg)
This book was the first book I bought from our school library when I went to gardening school. It's a short book on some of the poisonous plants native to Denmark. it says the exact amount considered lethal as well :). I would love to have more than i currently have, just to have them.
Now FingerbĂžl (Foxgloves) are the only ones currently thriving in my garden and it was more of a casual test of spreading the seeds and seeing if they would thrive, I've just sorta let them grow where they wanted only purposefully planting some along the fence separating me and my neighbors gardens. However i am attempting to propagate Stormhat(Wolfsbane) and will hopefully be able to plant them in the garden this summer. All parts of this plant is poisonous and should be handled with gloves. Now from here is more plants i would like to have but i dont have space for so are not likely to own, with the exception of the last one. Taks(Common yew) is a bush, most of the plant is poisonous except the fruit of the bush but especially the seeds and needles. poison from this tree had been used for hunting, book specifically says "A horse will die of eating less than a mouthful"
Guldregn(Golden Chain/ Golden Rain)
Beautiful tree id love to have one, but they grow big and i simply do not have space for more trees.

gorgeous! and just 20 seeds from this plant is enough to kill a grown man :).
Last but not least! the most poisonous plant in Denmark. sometimes i go on the look for this because i would love to grow them.
Gifttyde (Cowbane/Water Hemlock)
the entire plant is poisonous but the root is the most poisonous part. the root looks like a parsnip but take one bite and you're likely gonna suffer a painful death. usually it only accidentally leads to the death of livestock who accidentally consume it. All of these plants can just be found in nature if you're looking for them.
#i acutually wanted to study forensics#and then go into toxicology#i got accepted into the study course#but to uni was far away from my parents place and it was during covid#and i really didn't want to stuck in lockdown on my own#so biomedical sciences it was
