Reid keeps his expression neutral but her reaction isn't quite what he'd expected. The woman, Rae, is exceptionally terrible at acting like she isn't guilty of something but for reasons Reid isn't quite sure he fully understands, he can't find it in himself to suspect that she's responsible in a way for the vampire attacks. That begs the question, of course, of why she seems so nervous.

"A couple months now," he answers, watching her carefully for a reaction, and Reid hasn't been keening on discussing the details of the attacks with anyone who isn't Luke (and, to some extent, Derek) but offering a time frame isn't anything she wouldn't be able to get by watching the local news. Or reading the papers, like he'd said, which she apparently doesn't do. Reid, on the other hand, reads it daily and is still baffled by how there's never any mention of anything going on outside the city limits. He's wondered more than a few times now how the paper even has enough content to run every single day.

"Rae," Reid continues, giving her a small, reassuring smile, "I hope you'll excuse me for saying so, but you just seem a little nervous. I know it can be hard, coming across a crime scene so close to your work like this, but if there's something more than that disturbing you, I want you to know that I'd be happy to listen. We can even step away from all this, if that would make you more comfortable."
