❝ THE THREE FATES. ❞ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
CARA VALENTINE'S SILENCE WAS CONCERNING.Very concerning. Although she was known for being quiet for much of the time, this was different. Very different. Only two days had passed since the previous case, and she hadn't uttered more than a few words to anyone. The silence she maintained was deafening and caused Spencer to feel on edge. He didn't like it when she was quiet— when she shut out the world and began to show signs of the woman they'd arrested.
So much progress had been made in recent months, and he didn't want one setback to be why she shut down. Of course, he didn't have the slightest clue about what had happened or gone so wrong, but he wanted to help. However, she wasn't making that an option for any of them.
The gears in her brain were running on overdrive, and the team could tell. Internalizing how she felt and what she thought was second nature. She was never going to say a word unless she wanted to.
"Spence," JJ whispered, grabbing onto his arm as he walked to his desk. Spencer paused, the grip on his coffee instinctually tightening. "Has she still not said anything to you?"
Her words quickly caught Spencer's attention, and he immediately turned his head in the direction she'd motioned to. The corner of his lips tugged downward. Cara sat at her desk with perfect posture, eyes steady and focused on the half-empty coffee mug resting in front of her. She wasn't blinking and appeared to be in a trance of some sort.
Spencer looked back at JJ. "Nothing more than a few words."
"I don't like it when she's this quiet," JJ admitted quietly. "It reminds me of when we arrested her. It feels like she has all the answers and deliberately keeps her mouth shut. Deliberately not telling us anything."
