Time passed by minute by minute.

Reid's restless sleep symptoms seemed to disappear.Maybe it's because I have vented all the subconsciously suppressed emotions just now, or because I drank a glass of warm water.

Irene has been watching over him, testing his body temperature with her cold hands from time to time.The heat and flush of that moment just now have faded away.Gradually, his breathing began to become thin and long, as if he really fell asleep.

Irene misses the taste of deep sleep.

In fact, it was because she herself hadn't slept in a long time.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

The day is getting brighter.

Reid had a good night's sleep.

Yesterday's dream seemed to be just an accident.Although, according to Reid, he often encounters such "accidents."

Erin and Reid went all the way to the headquarters and had a meeting and finally boarded the plane. Hotch kept looking at Reid with a blank expression as if expecting him to say something, but Reid never said anything.

And the matter of "the victim disappearing" is nothing more than that.Or "internal digestion".

Erin opened the file.

Case: Kidnapped five-year-old child, killed a week later.

Location: Las Vegas. (Note: Reid's hometown)

Cause of death: Asphyxiation.

Characteristics: Suspects called every family, but did not ask for ransom.

For some reason, Irene was always restless.Maybe Hotch was looking at her too strangely, or maybe Reid's actions last night had startled her.She scanned a few lines, put down the file, and suddenly found that everyone was looking at her with very special eyes.

"What's wrong?" She was a little curious.

"...Irene," Hotch began. "Your order is down."

transfer order? ? ?

what order-

She has never applied for a transfer order! ! !

Reid looked at her in surprise, with worried eyes and heartache.

Perhaps he thought that she had applied for a transfer order because of the rule of "no dating in the office"? ? ?

But the problem is...

what on earth is it! ! !

"Irene..." Hotch looked at her with an extremely painful expression, "Actually...we all know it. So, you don't have to mind."

Wait, boss, she never minded anything! ! !

wrong!It's because she is out of sync with Boss Hotch's brainwaves at all, and has no idea what he's talking about! ! !

Perhaps it was because Irene's expression was so shocked that even Hotch was puzzled. JJ looked at Hotch, then at Irene, and asked cautiously: "It seems that what you two are talking about is not the same thing?"

In fact, she had no idea what Hotch was talking about!Erin thought gloomily.

JJ asked again: "Irene, you... don't seem to know about this?"

"I've never applied for a transfer order!" She was a little annoyed.

"How could it be?" Hotch was stunned, "This is a transfer order issued by the headquarters itself... stamped with the headquarters' seal! It's still in my office!"

Unbelievable!

baffling!

Unheard of! ! !

Irene simply folded her hands and made a pentagram gesture on her chest: "In the name of my ancestor Cain, I have never applied for a transfer order, never!"

Everyone was stunned.

They believed in Irene's character and believed that she would not lie.

but……

Where did that transfer order come from? ? ?

"Okay." Hotch suppressed the atmosphere, "Let's continue to look at the case. Let's put this matter aside for now, and we'll talk about it in detail after the case is dealt with."

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

Las Vegas is a gambler's paradise.

At the same time, it is also a hell for more gamblers.

Every year, a group of gamblers who lost all their pants jumped into the river to commit suicide here, and more gamblers used it here, hoping to make a fortune.

There are actually very few files on the case, so Irene and Reid went to the autopsy together.

JJ, who is already pregnant, stays behind.

The rest of the people are all on the field.

I don't know if it was because of the transfer order, Irene always seemed a little absent-minded today. Reid tried to remind her several times, but ended up swallowing the words.He knew that she didn't really want to leave, and that inexplicable transfer made her even more upset.

—Then, let him do more for her.

——at least when reporting to Hotch, she wasn't too speechless.

"These kids..." Reid started talking to the medical examiner.The medical examiner unequivocally told Reid that the missing child was suffocated.Moreover, it is obvious that they were suffocated with something similar to a pillow or bedding, because similar fibers appeared in the mouth and nose.Moreover, these children had nothing in their stomachs, but they did not show symptoms of "too hungry".The same four words: unbelievable.

Reid is confused.

Irene asked suddenly: "Is it possible to take glucose by mouth?"

"No." The forensic doctor shook his head. "If glucose is taken orally, the blood sugar test will definitely show abnormalities. In fact, not only the blood sugar test, but also the starvation ketosis test did not show any abnormalities."

"Where's the milk?" Erin asked again.

"Ma'am, human beings cannot sustain life through milk."

Oh……

Eileen rubbed her nose.She hasn't been human for a long time.

Perhaps Irene's performance today was really bad. As soon as she returned to the police station, she was immediately thrown to JJ to accompany her to deal with the media - after all, JJ was already pregnant and had limited mobility.

Reid and Morgan visited the victim's home.

JJ seems to be in good spirits and has not had much edema.However, when it was lunch break, she had to lean in the lounge and let Irene rub her ankles for her.Irene opened her trouser legs only to find that her feet were extremely swollen.

"It's really hard..." She couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"When you have a baby, you will know." JJ smiled lovingly, "This is a very, very happy thing."

When she has a baby too?

Vampire babies don't seem to be able to stay in the mother's womb for too long...

Irene thought silently, and suddenly felt a little depressed: "Did I have a terrible day today?"

"You've been doing great, Erin," JJ reassured her.Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and said again: "The transfer order...is issued directly from the headquarters, it seems that an embassy in Europe directly asked you to go there."

"Embassy?" Irene was puzzled.She has never had anything to do with any embassy!

"It seems to be... from Italy..."

Italy? !

Arlo!

Although the Volturi do not interact with humans, it is not too difficult for the royal guards to do something in the embassy.After all, the entire family has a history of 3000 years...

They made a move?

Just to transfer her there through "official channels"? ? ?

Erin's mind was in a mess, and her brows were deeply frowned. JJ was sensitive, noticed the change in Irene, and couldn't help asking: "Did you think of something?"

When Irene came back to her senses, her face was still a little uncomfortable: "...I think so."
