" So , Luke's not feeling well?" JJ asked when Matt got to the precinct.

" No, he's getting a nasty cold. I had it over the weekend myself. Just hope I didn't bring it in with me."

"Do you want to take a walk around town and get a sense of things with me?"

" Sure maybe we can get some ideas on a possible profile. What if this is a female? The place where the body was disposed of and the way there are memorials at the scene made Luke wonder."

" Could be, some women don't like messes. I live with three boys . But Will manages to keep the house clean and the laundry done when I'm not home. I'm probably messier in the bathroom than he is. ". JJ laughed.

" The secret is having separate ones . My wife needs a whole sink for her hair products alone. " Matt smiled.

They told Emily they were going to take a stroll around town and see what the locals were like. Christmas decorations were beginning to go up in some store fronts on the Main Street with fresh pine wreaths hanging from lamp posts.

Matt pulled his scarf around the neck of his leather jacket as they walked.

JJ's navy blue pea coat was warm but she slipped on leather gloves .

" So this area we're in has a pretty dense population. The stores and most of the other businesses like the bank are right downtown,"

" Like any other small town. They love their Steelers. Truth be told I do too." Matt said.

" Nice ." JJ smiled.

" Why don't we get some coffee? That little diner looks like a local hangout ."

" I like how you're thinking. We can see what some of the people who live here are saying and just do a little people watching."

They headed to the Bluebird Diner and walked inside. There was an empty booth in the front near a counter with some seats so they went and sat in it.

A young waitress with blue tips on her black hair came over to them.

" What can I get you folks ?"

" I'll have coffee with one of those cinnamon rolls . I shouldn't but I'm hoping my friend here will help me with it." Matt said.

JJ said " Coffee and an extra fork." She smiled across the table at Matt. "Thank you Lucy."

The waitress went to get their coffee and the cinnamon roll behind the counter.

" You two aren't from around here." A man at the counter said.

" No, we're helping with this thing about the missing teenagers." JJ said

" You reporters ?"

" No, FBI agents." Matt said,

" Well well imagine our sleepy town getting federal people all hot and bothered . Must mean the rest of the world isn't going to hell in a handbaaket this week."

" Three teenage girls who are missing is big news."

" Oh that they probably just went on an adventure and aren't ready to come home yet. Kids get bored here sometimes."

" I guess we'll find out for ourselves." They drank their coffee and split the cinnamon roll in half.

" Think we should get some of these for the others? "

" I am going to for Luke, might help him feel a little better."

" Good idea, we should probably hit that convenience store down the block and get him some juice and water."

" Now that's definitely a mom." Matt smiled.
