Letter To Love

Quinn woke up startled by the sound with her hand on the gun. She looked around to see herself on the ground while one of her leg was up on the table. Sighing, she got up stretching her muscles until it started protesting to tear apart. The clock read 4:00. 2 hours of sleep. She was impressed at the same time angry for wasting such valuable time.

Getting up, she took the biggest cup and filled it with dark coffee. Gulping down the bitter liquid, the caffeine started taking effect immediately, making her wide awake. Her brain started turning and focused on the sounds of footsteps, pages turning and frustrated sighs of her subordinates.

Getting back to work, she opened her mail to see the footage acquired by the Tech officers. Looking through it, her lips formed a thin line. The Unsub knew every camera on the street judging by the way he has successfully avoided showing his face. The way he walked oozed confidence. And seeing some impressed ladies looking back at him the second time proved him to be very handsome. So he is definitely someone who never will be suspected for wrong doings. The more she knew, the more complicated it became.

With the new almost useless information, she walked out the building for some fresh air. It was getting very busy by now, which was her favorite time. The loud noises helped her think.

"Hey! Watch out." Her head whipped up to see a guy probably in his mid-thirties. He smiled a contagious smile but Quinn was unaffected by it.

"What?" It came out rather rudely.

"Three guys been following you for some time now and I don't think it's because they want to talk. Probably because of that now that I notice it." He points his index finger all over the place after the last sentence.

Quinn knew about the guys behind her but she didn't feel like confronting them at the moment.

"So they've been following me for some time you say. Meaning that you were too tagging along with them. And because of what?"

The guy knew what she was getting at. But instead smiled awkwardly trying to think of the right words to explain.

"Your...um your buttons." With this the black haired guy turned red.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Blinking twice, Quinn struggled for the first time to come up with a reply. Looking down, she saw one of her shirt button came undone. Quickly fixing it, she mumbled a thanks and started walking.

"Hold up! I'll walk with you until I know you are safe."

Quinn resisted her urge to roll her eyes due to his pathetic attempt at flirting. Instead of snapping at him, she ignored him and walked ahead.

"My name is Alexander but you can call me Alex." Alex waited for the pretty lady to answer.

"So what is your name?" Alex tried again.

But Quinn was already in her stance thinking about the next step. Confrontation of the victims' families. If there was anything she hated, it was seeing ones family crying and refusing to believe what just clearly happened. Having grown up with no family, Quinn was a person with little emotions. Not knowing how to comfort, she often stood awkwardly to the side wishing to get out of there as soon as possible.

The classic ringtone of her Samsung blazed out right before Quinn halted to a stop followed by Alex.

"Hello?"

"Chief, there's a letter in your name that has just arrived."

"How is that important?"

"The letter came with a white lily crown, mam. Seeing that the details of the murders haven't gone out and it's the very same we found in the infants head, I don't know mam."

"Who is it from?"

"It says 'Reprisalx'." The curiosity and the hunch of it being the unsub made Quinn to break into a sprint back towards the office leaving Alex's voice shouting out to her slowing fading.

Dashing into the room, she found Tony with a letter. Grabbing it from him, she tore it open carefully. The letter reeked of perfume making her head spin.

"My Dear Quinn,

Your beauty. How mesmerizing. I can't take my eyes of you. I already have imagined our lives together. But...you'll never love me, will you? All of you are looking for me. But I only want YOU to catch me. Anything to make you happy, my darling.

I'm not a bad person, I assure you that. I wasn't born with the devil inside me. I was introduced to him. Those women were a disgrace to the world. They deserve to die. Though the poor innocent souls did nothing but trust me, I did them a favor. They asked for forgiveness when I told them the reason for their immediate return to hell. But once you do it, you have done it, there's no going back.

Acts all pure and innocent when they are rotten to the core.

I saw you, my love. I always see you. I never thought I'll fall in love but I did.

Until next time, Rest in peace Love.

Yours wickedly, Reprisalx."
