Note - This story take place about 3 months after Gideon's Legacy and follows that storyline. Reid is Gideon's son in this story as well, but still will retain the Reid surname, to avoid confusion.
Disclaimer - I don't own this. Only in my dreams...
It has been only a couple of weeks since JJ's departure, and the BAU could feel it. Reid was unusually quiet, Prentiss sat sulking most of the time, Garcia did not give her usually quirky greetings, Morgan became easier to anger than normal, and Hotch was constantly in his office, rarely leaving it except to eat or go home. Rossi had now taken over as the media liaison due to his popularity and fame with his books. He was the one in charge of deciding which cases the team took now almost by default, since he also was the most experienced agent as well.
He was receiving a large amount of requests, when one covering the eastern Georgia, Florida panhandle area caught his attention. It looked like a cult, and they were killing so-called "sinners" and posting the murders on the internet. They have killed 6 people so far, as much as thew authorities knew. This was a group killing these people, the camera showing 3-4 members at any given time. They were killing these people in the name of the "Chosen One," and the group was saying and posting various biblical passages at the various murders.
Rossi was deep in though when the phone rang. Rossi was surprised to hear the person speaking on the other end.
"Hi, Jason long time no speak. I'm think of taking this case.." Rossi said.
"Please tell me it's not the cult, the one who are killing sinners," Gideon replied.
"Why don't you want us to take the case? I was about ready to present it to the team."
"It is too much like a case we had back in 2007, back in rural Georgia. This one might hit far too close to home."
"Then they would be better suited on this case."
"No Dave. Well, how about this, I go ahead and take a look into the case. See if what is relevant to the Hankel case. Depending on what I find, then I'll let you know to bring the team. I know you have been invited, but just do this for me, as a special favor."
"All right. I will defer to you for 24 hours, then we will go from there."
"That's all I'll need to make a conscious decision." Then Gideon hung up the phone. Gideon was already in Florida, close to where two of the murder scenes were. He hoped that Rossi would keep his word, and not bring the team into it.
While Gideon went to investigate, Rossi took all of the files pertaining to the case and took it to Hotch's office. Rossi needed to know answers, and why Gideon wanted to keep the team out of this particular case. There was a lot more to that particular case, most likely personal, and Rossi wanted to know exactly why.
The unsubs will be in the next chapter, as well as the rest of the team. Read and Review please.
