criminal justice
Ayyyyy
“But why Guerrera?” He wanted to know. “In Spanish, guerrero means ‘warrior’ or ‘fighter,’ and guerrera—with an a on the end—refers to a female.” The judge took a moment to digest her words before his eyes reflected comprehension. “Warrior girl.” She inclined her head in acknowledgment. “I’ve given up on hope,” she said quietly, then lifted her chin. “From now on, I fight.”
head in the game.
HSM haha
“Dude, I’m locked and loaded.”
Gross
off her and doubling over.
It's Nina
She kept digging that black thing into him.
Taser?
“Save it.” Her lip curled. “You’re under arrest.”
Haha, yessssss!
Hope
Oof
BAU
Ayyy
She had always wondered why Wade had gone into the child-crime section of BAU, a relatively new position when he took it.
There is usually a personal reason.
trigger.”
Even tho she's 27.
“He thought he was looking out for you.” Shawna cut into the enchiladas.
Well, it's not his responsibility.
Files that were kept from her when others could see them. Most children didn’t have paperwork documenting every aspect of their behavior and situation throughout their lives.
That would be annoying.
The glass ceilings she’d continuously shattered on her way to the top tier of US law enforcement.
Sociology reference.
“How can I work with Wade when I can’t trust him?” “Because it’s your only option,” Shawna said. “It’s your decision, but if you choose to be his partner, at least now you’ll know where you stand.”
She didn’t bother to say it wasn’t fair.
Life isn't fair.
“If my choice is to stand by and watch or get in the ring, I’ll fight. Every time.”
Love her mindset.
Odin
Abductor?
Buxton had a reputation for using unconventional approaches to investigations, and for getting results.
If it works, it works.
antiquated
Because he is also an antique.
nineteen hundred
Just say 7pm.
john?”
A guy/client?
“And he wanted her found in a dumpster,”
Bc you were found in one as a baby.
“Makes me wonder if he knew your history.”
Duh
He’d posed the idea that the unsub had staged Sofia’s body in a grisly parody of Nina’s as an infant, which meant he suspected the unsub might be aware someone had thrown her in the trash.
Yep.
sex
Sexual*
Breck
Basically Garcia from CM.
How else would he have gotten her there?”
Any other moterized vehicle???
profiling.”
My fav aspect.
armchair profiling.
Like backseat driving.
Wade’s eyes bored into her. “Then someone else is going to die.”
Damn dude. It's not HER fault.
Nina did not miss the implication. Sofia Garcia-Figueroa had died in her place and, if she couldn’t stop the monster, another girl would do the same.
“The ones who engage in this way have killed before, but the physical evidence—or lack thereof—says he’s only had one prior unsuccessful attempt.”
Already told ya that.
“Hope is dead,” Nina said, mulling over the first coded message. “What the hell does that mean?”
He models everyone after you, and he was successful at killing them until he found out you were alive and thriving, not broken or dead.
“And he has a fascination with you.”
Obviously
“I have no idea why,”
You are probably the only one to get away.
the one who got away,
“You kept asking about the kind of tape he used,”
That is probably all they found. A fragment.
After a grueling day in the confines of the BAU, they had piled into one of the Bureau Suburbans to drive the short distance to the Quantico facility, where the FBI academy had its own bar.
Haha that's awesome
phraseology
Like "bestow", as if he were a diety.
psycholinguistic
Cool
“I was in Special Forces before joining the Bureau,”
Impressive
Paid for my master’s
Nice
“I’m hungry enough to eat a horse and chase the rider.”
Weird phrases.
“It was a logical progression,” he said. “I can speak four languages, and I like to read. Words interest me.”
Same, except I can barely speak English and Spanish lmao
“I’ve been thinking about the unsub’s odd word choice too,” Wade said. “You know who bestows things on people?”
I already deduced this. Someone/thing in a high position of power.
“A god.”
Told ya. :)
“One of many reasons they’re not what you’d call well-adjusted folks.”
Lmao
“You dig through their skulls, and I dig through their hard drives,” Breck said. “I like my job better.”
Meh
“Mostly they troll him,
Risky, but balls it takes…
