Mr. Siren [Comprehensive British and American]

The innkeeper disappeared in the bottomless lake area. Noel Wright, who watched him fall into the lake, was still lying on the pier holding something, soaked from head to toe, and his face was rainwater. There were still tears, and his eyes were dull and uncontrollably flushed.

There were deep scratches on his arms, and only when a person was dying, would others leave scars that scratched the flesh.

Surveillance showed that the hotel owner stumbled and fell into the water when he was about to leave and walked to the pier to put down the bouquet. This was not a fatal thing. The water at the pier was not particularly deep. The owner who grew up by the lake also He is well versed in water skills, not to mention that Noel Wright rushed up immediately and grabbed his hand and pulled him up.

But he just disappeared.

From the monitoring screen, it can be seen that the boss is very panicked. He roared loudly and struggled desperately. His movements were so big that the lake water was stirred up into high waves. Grabbed Noel Wright and struggled to climb up the pier, but was finally dragged away from the lake bit by bit. At the beginning, there was still a small half of his body exposed. He seemed to be wrestling with something, and sometimes he surfaced and was dragged Going down, gradually only the head could float up, and after a few seconds, he completely disappeared into the lake.

The waves on the lake spread silently and subsided, and finally silence was restored.

There are only tiny ripples left by the rainwater beating on the surface of the lake.

It was as silent as in the monitoring room.

Hotch was the quickest to respond, "Arrange for a thorough search of the lake area, JJ, we need more police assistance, Reid, Emily, you go to the pier to investigate the scene, Rossi, you and I dispatch the police, Garcia, We need more materials to check everything about the innkeeper!"

After the order was laid out, everyone quickly got into work. Reid limped on his crutches and went to the pier with Emily. The rain was still falling, and the muddy and slippery road made him walk It was a bit difficult, and the sky had begun to darken, making it difficult to see the path under his feet, and his pace was pitifully slow as he slipped step by step.

"You go first." Seeing Emily slowly following him, Reid took the initiative to say, "Just leave me the flashlight."

"Then be careful." Emily said, handing the flashlight to Reid, using the phone screen to illuminate the somewhat dim road under her feet, and walked quickly along the pier.

Reid blinked his eyes and looked around. For some reason, he always felt that the swaying of the water nearby was a bit strange, but now it was so dark and it was raining heavily. , but still changed the hand to hold the flashlight with the umbrella, so that the hand on crutches could hold the gun at the waist.

If you don't seek truth, you can repel the criminals when danger occurs. After all, he is dragging a half-disabled leg and even Garcia can't beat him. As long as he can fire a warning shot in time to let Emily know that something is wrong here, it will be fine.

The road under his feet was extremely muddy, with one foot deep and the other shallow. If he hadn’t had a flashlight, he wouldn’t be able to see whether it was a lake or the road ahead in such heavy rain. To a certain extent, the crutches in his hands also acted as blind sticks to help him test the way ahead. traffic conditions.

It was an effective move that saved him from stepping in a puddle or tripping over a rock.

However, when one hand grabbed his crutch and pulled him over forcefully, he failed to react in time, and his feet became unstable and fell down.

"Ah!" Reid let out a short exclamation, but it was so short that even he himself wasn't sure if the sound came out, something jumped out of the water like a rabbit flying and flew him into the water— At that time, he was only a few steps away from the lake, and the moment the thing leaped out of the water and even flew into the air, it passed in front of the light of the flashlight, allowing Reid to see his whole picture clearly.

But when he saw it clearly, he was dragged into the lake by a pair of hands. Something cold and slippery covered his mouth and nose, and the tremendous force pulled him to a deeper place. One of his legs couldn't use his strength. Caught off guard, he choked on several saliva, and for a moment he had no strength to struggle.

This is his second drowning this year. It seems that the Mercury retrograde that Garcia talked about this year does have some reference value...

Reid was a little surprised that he still had the energy to tease himself about such things at this time. It was obviously a matter of life and death, but he was strangely not panicked, as if the water did not pose any threat to him, and even gave birth to a subtle feeling. The intimacy, as if like a fish can absorb oxygen from the water.

Of course, the water in his lungs proved that illusions, however good they were, were only illusions.

He began to feel sleepy, his eyelids were heavy as if they were going to be glued together, and he couldn't open them for no reason. He recalled the dream he had once had, the person who had been sleeping deep in the bottom of the sea for an unknown number of years, and finally gave birth to a fish tail in the foam fantasy.

Now he can still recall that the fish tail is bright blue, and the edges of the scales are plated with a layer of light gold that changes with light spots. If you don't look carefully, you will ignore it, but as long as you imagine it, you will know that it must be beautiful under the sun. The radiance is like the brilliance of stars shining into the sea, and the translucent blue at the end almost blends with the sea water, which is the clarity and clarity that he has never seen in his life.

At this moment, this unbelievable dream seems to be unfolding in front of him again. The beautiful creature that only lives in fairy tales and legends is wandering in front of him, with sharp and angry eyes, black hair curly and thick like seaweed, swaying and fluttering along the direction of the water.

It's Triton... for some reason he's so sure.

Yet Triton's anger was not directed at him, but at the creature that had brought him into the lake.

Reid realized this in a trance, and subconsciously struggled to turn his head and glanced back. The monster that was illuminated by the light of the flashlight just now appeared in front of his eyes again—the monster was extremely strong and tall, and his face was very similar to him. The Amazon piranha I have seen before has big and protruding eyes, a mouth full of fangs from a grin near the ears, scales gradually thinning from the neck, and a human body below the neck, with strong arms and sharp nails on both hands. From the fingers to the forearms are covered with scales, there are also scales below the waist, which gradually become thicker from top to bottom, and below the crotch are closed into a thick and short fish tail, densely packed with gray and black in different shades, in the dark Inconspicuous in the water of the lake.

He saw bloodstains in the monster's fingers, sporadically washed by the lake.

He didn't notice that the monster's sharp nails had scratched a shallow mark on the side of his neck because of the movement of turning his head. It was really very shallow, but there was still blood oozing out of it, and the bloody smell kept swimming around without daring to The aggressive siren was stimulated, and Triton's gray-blue eyes turned dark and cold in an instant, and the depths of the eyes seemed to be soaked in blood, revealing a murderous intent, and a vaguely sweet singing sounded Unconsciously recall those good things.

Those harvested fields, blooming flowers, children's laughter and lover's kisses seem to return to the arms of their mothers amidst the rippling blue waves, "Sleep...sleep..." as if someone is tempting me .

"Sleep... sleep..." The person who heard the voice felt sleepy unconsciously.

"Sleep... sleep..." Close your eyes and stop thinking.

"Sleep...sleep..." until eternal sleep at the bottom of the lake.

The siren's eyes were indifferent and cold, but he hugged his human being very carefully. He didn't even dare to use any more strength, and only took him up to the lake quickly. People can live longer in water, but it doesn't mean they can really come and go freely in the water like fish.

Reid is almost at the limit, his cheeks are flushed from suffocation, his hands and feet are limp, and the excessive lack of oxygen makes him unable to even move. suffered too much pain.

He leaned on Triton's shoulder and watched with his own eyes how the siren's ear fins turned into human ears, the bright blue scales behind the ears disappeared, the gorgeous fish tail below the waist separated the scales, and the skin was very similar to humans Smudges in water for a flawless, radiant color.

Butt is still very warped...

For some reason, that was all Reid thought of before he passed out.

---------------------------------

Reid actually fell into a coma for several days this time, not only because of drowning, but also because he had stayed up late for a long time and worked overtime. Several old injuries such as gunshot poisoning broke out together. After the doctor's examination, he said that he needed a vacation to adjust his physical condition. , otherwise it would be too much for the body to go on like this.

Strictly speaking, under the low air pressure of Triton, even if it can bear it, it will become unbearable.

The first thing Triton did after getting the doctor's diagnosis was to take a month-long vacation instead of Reid. Hotch didn't have any objection and simply approved the vacation, because he thought his team members really needed a vacation without any burden. It is also because Triton made a phone call directly to his superior's superior, abruptly turning Reid's already exhausted vacation into an infinite extension.

"I sincerely hope this is the last time I will abuse my rights." Triton threw the phone into the arms of the bodyguard behind him, and put on a cold face in front of BAU for the first time. It's winter, but it's already as friendly as possible.

They should really look at the revenge plans drafted in Triton's mind, they are really as cold as cold wind.

"It will." Hotch stepped back to get out of the way, allowing the paramedics to carry Reid to Triton's RV.

——Since someone in a sober state would never agree to leave work and go on vacation, Triton simply played a trick.

"Where are you going?" Morgan asked.

"I have a small island in the sea, with beautiful scenery and rich books." Triton said, showing a strange smile, "It's very suitable for recuperation." After he finished speaking, he followed the footsteps of the medical staff and walked into the car, facing the BAU team He waved his hand, "Keep in touch."

"Keep in touch." Hotch nodded, watching the car drive away slowly.

"Do you feel that his emotions are not right?" Emily muttered, frowning.

"It's the same thing if you almost lost your lover." Rossi said, looking thoughtfully in Hotch's direction, he assured that Hotch's so happy let go must have something to do with Triton's almost collapsed expression at that time. At times, it seemed that all of Reid's sanity was hanging on Reid, and he was unwilling to leave for a moment. In the end, he was pulled away by force, allowing the doctor to push Reid into the emergency room.

"He needs Spencer right now," JJ said. "It drives people crazy."

"Okay guys, there's no time to waste." Rossi clapped his hands and said, "The murderer won't give us a vacation."

---------------------------------

In fact, Triton is really going crazy now. No sea monster can bear the blow of losing his own human being. His heart is still throbbing in pain. He started to twitch and convulse from the inside, and his throat was filled with the smell of blood. .

If he came later, if the thing moved faster, wouldn't he never see his human being again?

Is he about to lose his humanity forever?

"I won't lose you..." The sea monster's voice was erratic, and the dark eyes were stubborn, "Forever..."

He bent down and kissed the pale human lips reverently.

The twisted and crazy waves began to emerge from the deepest part of the eyes.
