!What are their characteristics? "

Rossi asked the other party on the phone and told him: "There are scars on the skin."

"Like a rose?" The expression on Reid's face was like hell, which made Rossi a little confused.

Rossi asked again in detail, and the other party said that although it was not uniform, the surviving mice had scars similar to roses on their torsos.

Reid completely froze in place, his tongue started to tie up: "Lucia, it's Lucia..."

"What exactly are you trying to express, kid?"

"I know exactly what DeSciglio's experiment was about." Rossi looked at him puzzled.

"I've seen a rose-like scar on Lucia's left shoulder."

Rossi froze for a moment: "It doesn't mean anything. It might be a birthmark, it might be a tattoo, or it might be your misreading."

Reid hurriedly took his words: "I can't say wrong. I haven't understood it for a long time, and now I finally understand. She is always cold and not like a living person. She can't get a drip. Because her heart stopped beating, there is no Blood pressure, fluids can't flow into her body. In the case of Madison, she was airlifted directly from the hospital in Baltimore after she fainted. We still don't know what happened to her. And how many times she has been there since then Baltimore, exactly since then, the virus...began to break out...she must be the only surviving human test subject."

Rossi dialed Garcia's phone: "Notify Morgan, JJ, you are going to Lucia's house right away."

"What happened, sir?" She thought something had happened to Lucia.

"Also ask Cruz to bring a team of special police over to see if Lucia is ready to leave the country."

"Sir, what do you mean...?" Garcia wasn't sure if what Rossi meant was what he was thinking. His back was covered with cold sweat, but his hands didn't stop.

Rossi called Hotch again, but didn't know what to say to him, so he handed the phone to Reid. Reid bit the bullet and said his guess again, and there was a silence on the other end of the phone.

"I'll go find her," was all Hotch said before hanging up.

In fact, the previous conversation outside the lecture hall confirmed Hotch's premonition, but he thought of ten thousand possibilities and never thought of this.He tried to calm himself down and called Lucia.Once, twice, three times, the phone was quickly picked up.

"Aaron?" came a lilting voice from the other end.

Hotch felt that he was back in the afternoon of driving home alone five years ago, and he was choked up and unable to speak.

"Aaron? What's wrong with you?" Lucia couldn't help but get nervous when she didn't hear him say, "Aaron, is that you?"

Please, don't speak to me in this tone, okay?There is nothing between us, we are nothing.

"...Are you at home? I'm going to go to work and I'll pick you up."

Lucia was visibly relieved when he said, "I'm scared to death... I'm at home. Where are you now? I'll come out and wait for you."

"No need, I'm almost there, just wait for me at home."

"Okay, see you later." Unlike last time, Hotch hoped that this road would never end, because he was afraid of seeing Lucia and DeSciglio appear together; but he also hoped that he could be at her door in the next second and listen to it himself She explains everything that happened in 6 years.

Lucia's apartment is very close to the FBI headquarters, only 15 minutes by car.

Hotch parked the car downstairs at her house just as Lucia and DeSciglio, all dressed in black, appeared at the gate.At this moment, he was unexpectedly calm. He got out of the car and pointed at the two people in front of him. He said calmly, "LuciaAndreaPirlo, EnzoDeSciglio, you have been arrested for illegal biological experiments and endangering public safety."

The two people who were pointed at by Heidongdong's muzzle were not nervous at all, and it should be said that they did not react at all.

The three stalemate, and finally Lucia broke the dull situation.

She stepped forward to stand in front of DeSciglio, reached into her pocket, took out a gun and threw it to Hotch, "Let him go."

Hotch hooked the gun on the ground and kicked it behind him: "Impossible."

Lucia seemed confident: "Let him go, let's make a deal."

The roaring siren sounded from behind Hotch, and the smile on Lucia's face was ghostly under the alternating red and blue lights: "Trust me, what you need is me, not him."

Rossi ran up from behind Hotch, picked up the gun on the ground and handed it to Morgan, Morgan took it and put it away, hesitantly pointed his gun at DeSciglio.

"SSAHotchner, please think about it carefully. Can you be sure that your precious son Jack really just had acute enteritis not long ago? Or maybe now, has he already drunk something unclean?"

Hotch's body shook visibly, and his breathing was visibly disturbed.His finger on the trigger was bent even more, and with a little more force, the bullet would come out of the chamber.

Lucia on the opposite side was still speaking unhurriedly, every word was like a sharp knife piercing his heart: "If you fire this shot, your life will be over. Think carefully about the meaning of my existence , The significance of the success of this experiment. Release EnzoDeSciglio, I am willing to accept all investigations and experiments.”

At this moment, Cruz's cell phone rang. He answered the phone and hung up after only listening to one sentence. He put down the weapon in his hand and said to Hotch, "Let him go."

Hotch looked at him in shock, unable to accept the decision anyway.

"They have diplomatic immunity." Lucia smiled a haughty smile that no one had ever seen before, and watched DeSciglio get into Marchisio's car and leave.

"It's impossible!" Reid was the first to object, "The US government does not recognize dual citizenship."

"But I didn't deny it, kid." Lucia was as proud as a real goddess, pacing beside them, "The Italian government recognizes it, so..."

Finally she shrugged.

Hotch grabbed her and brought her in front of him, pinching her shoulders tightly, "LuciaPirlo... how can you say that kind of thing calmly... how can you?! Where is your heart?! If Jack is your son , you can also..."

"But he's not. It's pathetic when someone is bound hand and foot by family affection, SSA Hotchner." She climbed into the back seat of Cruz's car and idly waited for them to call it a day.

In fact, Lucia's heart was far less calm than she showed. DeSciglio's gone, but she's still worried about Materrazi and the others, and what's going on at the center.She doesn't care about herself at all, what is there to be afraid of if someone has died once?No more hurt than this, no more pain than this.So she wasn't surprised when Cruz got another call from above telling her that her diplomatic immunity had been revoked by the Italian government.Is it possible that DiNozzo can expose himself now?

Capitolo38

The car walked north for a long time and entered the Special Economic Zone, and finally stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary house. Lucia went in after Cruz, and there really was something hidden inside.Through layers of protective measures very similar to DeSciglio's experimental center, Cruz led them to the core part of the laboratory.The members of the BAU following behind were shocked by the sight in front of them—this place is clearly the real version of the "Honeycomb".

"See? This is the government you all serve. All your taxes go here."

No one could argue with Lucia's words.

Cruz talked to a middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge, and the man looked at her like he was visiting me or the zoo. Lucia's mind was on DeSciglio and Materrazi, and she didn't want to argue with him at all, so she gave him a foolish look.

The man coughed lightly and led her into the laboratory, keeping the others out.

She was more professional than everyone present, she took off her coat and tied up her shirt sleeves and handed her over.The woman who came with a syringe saw her sore elbow freeze in place.

Lucia half-raised her head with a half-smile and looked at the BAU people outside the window.

People outside can see everything inside clearly. Hotch saw the bend of her elbow and suddenly thought that at some point her face started to turn green again, and she bent over even when she was walking. It must be that DeSciglio found her again not long ago, and used her to experiment again. .Watching her dark red blood slowly fill the needle, Hotch's breathing began to be difficult, and he was the first to leave the laboratory, followed closely by Rossi
