"So..." Reid started, his eyes fixed on the geographical profile spread out before him. "This is one crazy coincidence, don't you think?"
Lilith, standing on the other side of the room, couldn't help but chuckle softly at the situation. The past day had been a whirlwind of unexpected encounters, each one bringing her closer to the intriguing genius that stood before her. She turned her gaze towards Reid, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "It sure is," she replied, her voice laced with playful disbelief. "I can't believe how many times we've run into each other in the last 24 hours."
Reid's lips curled into a gentle smile, his attention fully captured by the enigmatic historian. There was something undeniably magnetic about Lilith, an aura of intelligence and warmth that drew him in. Their encounters had been brief but impactful, leaving a lingering sense of curiosity within him.
"So, you're a doctor too, huh?" Reid inquired, his voice filled with genuine interest. He couldn't help but marvel at the coincidence that their paths had crossed in so many areas. "I guess I can't be surprised with how knowledgeable you were when we were talking about literature on the plane," he added, circling another small circle on the whiteboard.
Lilith nodded, her eyes twinkling with a mixture of pride and humility. "Yes, I have my Ph D in history but I find literature fascinating," she explained, her passion evident in her voice. "I've always had an interest with the past, and I wanted to uncover the untold stories hidden within the sands of time."
Reid's curiosity piqued even further. His mind was a labyrinth of facts and knowledge, and he found himself drawn to Lilith's thirst for uncovering history's secrets. The way she spoke about her work ignited a spark within him, igniting a shared sense of intellectual curiosity.
As the two of them in the now quiet room, a silent understanding seemed to pass between them. They were kindred spirits, each driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to make sense of the world. Their connection went beyond the coincidences that had brought them together. There was a genuine connection, a magnetic pull that seemed to defy explanation.
Reid turned his attention back to the whiteboard, his mind whirring with thoughts and theories. He made mental notes, his finger tracing intricate lines on the board, mapping out the connections that existed in their current case.
The geographical profile showed all 7 women reported being taken from their homes, all of which lied within the same suburban community, but they had been found in the abandoned building. It had to hold some significance to the unsub.
The two doctors would have loved to continue their conversation but Prentiss came rushing in with news of another victim. 23 year old Penny Lynn, found with the same crest next to her.
The abandoned building had been compromised, this victim was found across the street in an alleyway. This only confirmed to the team that this building meant something to the unsub.
