The small brunette looked over at the man sitting next to her in the back of the large SUV that was big enough to live in. Heck she had actually done it before right after she had lost her housing on the Georgetown Campus. "You're pretty handsome yourself Agent Hotchner." she smirked nudging him with her shoulder as she sat in the back next to him waiting for the rest of the team members. It had already been a day that she didn't want to start, but now she had to be there and work the case. This case was going to be hard on her, she knew that. Calyx was close with her professor hell she never called her Professor Kelly. She had always called her Jamison including in class it was something that Jamison had wanted. She didn't like being just …show more content…
Getting out of the car she grabbed her go bag that was in the back and headed inside. Smiling at the door man she ran up to the 5th floor and got inside. Changing into a pair of blue jeans and a white buttoned up shirt that was see through to an extent she came back down. Climbing back in she got in next to Jack once again. The drive from the condo to Columbia was not more than 15 minutes as Calyx continued to look at the file she paused. "Has anyone looked at these photos close enough?" she asked as she looked over to Jack and then up at her father and Henry whom were listening to her speak. "I've looked at them, why did you find something?" Henry spoke turning to look back at her with a small smile on his face. "Yeah, look at her neck it looks like rope burns, but if you look close enough..." she paused as she pointed towards right by Jamison's ear. "It looks like there is a horseshoe that was starting to heal. Jamison didn't have a tattoo. And that looks like it is a brand of some kind." Calyx spoke as she pointed it out to Jack and Henry. Handing Jack the photo she watched her father smile through the rear view mirror. "That could be a clue of some kind couldn't it? This first girl that Jack mentioned before we left, has anyone checked the images from that case?" Calyx spoke waiting to see if anyone actually had the case file on them which she opened that they
It was a bright and sunny June day. It was all calm at the jury house, Sheila was getting ready for her first case. It was about a person being murdered. Her witness, Mr. Leblanc, asked her if she can help him find his wife. She said that she can’t.
I placed the knife on the table and turned around, pinning my gaze inside the plastic wrapped room that I had carefully prepared. An agonized face glared back at me, blue eyes burned beneath the black eyebrows. “What the hell is this?” I carelessly studied the forehead which tightened and twitched with tension and my gaze wandered off to his left cheek. “This... is the moment of truth.” I replied to his cry with ease. He was breathing heavily. Oh, this felt so good. It has been a very long time since I let my dark passenger come out to play. Thirty-eight days, sixteen hours, and twelve minutes to be precise, Trinity has kept me occupied long enough. Then I sliced his left cheek to take my blood slide.
He just turned and left without a word. I touched Lennie’s grave. The rough touch of the wood deflecting to my fingers. I walked back to the ranch. Everyone was asleep. I wanted to run away tomorrow but I couldn’t let this chance pass up. It also prevented any chance of Candy following me. I tiptoed out of the room and went straight to the woods. I made sure to mix myself in with the shadows of the trees. I saw the river and It felt like I did it...until I felt something grab me by my neck. I quickly got flipped over and pushed to the ground.
They quickly became best friends going everywhere with each other. Although she liked him, he didn’t know about her secret. Until one day, when the FBI and the scientists both went to their school during an assembly. The only thing she did
Kelley and her mother were in a car crash. Kelley wakes up in the burn ward at the hospital. She is told she has second and third degree burns on her right side. The burns were on her right hands, her leg, and her face. She has to spend eight weeks in the hospital. Kelley has to have pins drilled in her burnt and broken leg. The nurses then pluck all the dead skin from her body with tweezers. The doctors have to take skin from other parts of her body to graft onto the burnt parts of her body. Kelley was told she had to wear a special mask on her face so when the skin grew back it wouldn’t be puffy and lumpy. When the swelling on her face went down and when there wasn’t so much lubricant in her eyes smearing her vision, she could see all the way down the Patapsco River to the Francis Scott Key
She wanted to catch up on what happened throughout the day, she decided to watch her local news. The announcement of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman upset her. The woman’s name sounded familiar but could not put a finger on it. Until, the accusiton of O.J Simpson popped up on her TV. “At first I said, ‘What?
“Ah! Somebody call the police this guy just stole my purse!” a random woman screamed. As I remembered, my cousin works for the police at Pembroke Pines, so I called her and told her to come very fast; there was burglary going on. She got the there in less than a second. Everything happened very quickly; she got the burglar and gave the woman her purse back.
Growing up as an only child I made out pretty well. You almost can’t help but be spoiled by your parents in some way. And I must admit that I enjoyed it; my own room, T.V., computer, stereo, all the material possessions that I had. But there was one event in my life that would change the way that I looked at these things and realized that you can’t take these things for granted and that’s not what life is about.
I closed my eyes and looked at the ground, tightening my grip of my hands out of stress. This was so far from my tolerance point. "Objection," My attorney proclaimed, "What relevance does this really have to the case?" "Agreed, but I want to ask agent Parker a question," The judge said calmly, then he looked at Jake, "Agent Parker, did you know who Miss Lawrence really was? And did that influence your
Our backs hunched over as we started lifting sustainable sandbags with our drained muscular arms onto a dark wooden shelf. The scorching sun heated up the unswept metal fence behind us. Our feet were burning as we stood on the blistering concrete floor. We were sweating from every inch of our dried out body’s. Looking around the isolated area the smell of freshly cut grass starts to fill up in the atmosphere. The crinkled brown autumn leaves abandoned the thin branches sticking out from the ancient oak tree stood in front of us. A mysterious slim figure approached us from the distance. As the strange shadow got closer to me I could see a velvet red knee high dress blowing in the wind; bright red lipstick on a slim face, it became clear to me that it was Curley’s wife! Her devilish eyes looked deep into our sole as she stroked silky, exotic hair with her perfectly painted, red finger nails. “Hey boys” she called. I looked away with no interest; Lennie followed my lead. Her face went from a cheery smile to a sulky frown and she bashfully strolled
On the Monday October 27th, 2014, for the first time in 4 years I did not wake up at 5:30 in the morning, I was not putting on a green skivvy shirt and shorts. There was no formation, no one that was higher command I had to report to, telling me where I had to go, what time I had to eat breakfast, what was I doing this day or what our platoon plans were for the day. There were no PT (physical training) I had to do this morning. Instead, I woke up grab a regular t-shirt, khaki shorts, and my two sea bags full of clothing and gear that I collected during my time in the Marine Corps. I threw everything in my vehicle and drove from Camp Pendleton, California to Quincy, Illinois. Within two weeks I was accepted to Southern Illinois University Carbondale. For three days, I stayed at the
As I walk into Hazen and begin my high school journey I think to myself what I want to accomplish when I leave. Hazen is like the older sister I never had, someone who you hate occasionally, but look up to and pushes you to achieve your personal goals. As I walk through those Highlander doors I was immediately surrounded by the brightest minds, talent, and innovative bunch of my generation. Each one unique and each one having something special to offer, and I soon realized that I want to leave high school like I was never leaving. By making the most out of my high school experience I want to gain maturity and the satisfaction of knowing I made a difference in my school and community. By becoming a member of the National
For the second time in six months I found myself and my family gathered around each other with few words and many emotions. This journey began in 2011 when I came home to find out my older sister had collapsed at school earlier in the day. Me being a sixth grader I did not think much about it. As months went by it had become a frequent occurrence. Over a long period of time my sister faced numerous tests at some of the top hospitals in the region, but this phenomenon remained an enigma to all doctors. During that time, I wondered why her. She looks so normal on the outside. How could this happen. She is my best friend, she plays soccer, figure skates, and is a normal teenager. Through out this process I was determined
It was all fun and games until we heard the sirens. We went to the cops terrified that we were in so much trouble but we didn't know why, once the police told us we did nothing wrong, we all learned a very important lesson. Ask for permission before you do things. It was a bright sunny summer day in August and my friends and I went down to CMH high school to play football. Me and my friend were captains and we picked out teams. A couple of touchdowns later we heard the sirens “Wee-Woo Wee-Woo”,we were scared out of our minds.
You would think that having four jobs in the family would be able to support the three of us, but apparently not. As I see my sister enter the surgical facility, I contemplate all that we have lost this last week to save her life. It cost me my two hands and a leg. And my mom, well, her forest green eyes are now in some rich guys head. It's still a little unsettling seeing her with two red spheres in her eye sockets, instead of the shade that always reminded me of the first days of spring. My mom already sold her heart last year when we were far behind on rent. She claims she couldn’t even feel the plastic. At least if she avoids mirrors she can pretend not to be a Fake.
