A/N I promised myselves not to start another story before finishing the others but I just got so excited to write a crossover!

This is a Criminal Minds and Desperate Housewives story. It's set in the first season of DH when Rex is still alive and CM is set when JJ isn't a profiler. I usually write CM fanfictions so most of the story will probably be from their POV but I thought it would be fun to explore the meeting with all the crazy characters from DH. And there were no Crossovers between these to when I wanted to read one so I decided to do one myself:D

And this one is short but the others will probably be longer.

Anyway. Enjoy the first chapter of my new story!


Chapter 1

In the little neighborhood of Wisteria Lane there is such a thing as collectors. There are those children like Porter and Preston Scavo who collects worms keeping them in a grey box under their bed. Mrs. McCluskey has an old coin collection that her husband left behind when he passed away. Ida Greenberg, the oldest one on the street, collects stamps and Ava Brown has an old collection of porcelain dolls which has gone from generation to generation in her family and has now ended up in Ava's hands. Yes, on Wisteria Lane many people, old and young have hobbies of collecting things. These hobbies can make even the rainiest day seem more fun especially for the Scavo boys whose hobby happen to appear on these days. You can always sit at home and sort through your collection, see if anything is out of place or too damaged to keep. The people here are proud of their collections. Much to everyone else's disliking. Lynette Scavo hates finding worms in the bathtub or the sink and Ida Greenberg's cat thinks that she is spending too much time with her stamps when she should cuddle with the cat instead. Ava's husband has nightmares about the dolls in the living room, but he doesn't want to take away the only thing that keeps her busy during day when he's at work. Yes, there are many known collectors on Wisteria Lane, but there are also those with a dark secret hidden from all the neighbors, who collects something that nobody else would have even thought about collecting. And this person spends his time finding the perfect piece to go with the collection and he enjoys watching the life drain out of their eyes.


Emily Prentiss woke up from her phone ringing. She picked it up without looking at the caller ID hearing JJ's voice. Another case had come up and apparently it was pretty bad which meant that she didn't get to finish her last two hours of sleep. Then the second phone rang, but the person on the other side of the bed did nothing to get it. He was definitely not done sleeping, but who could blame him. It had gotten quite late last night and they had only slept three hours. When the phone stopped ringing only to start again seconds later Emily threw a pillow on the sleeping form beside her.

"Morgan, come on. I can't stand that ringtone. Just pick up already." She said and was met by a tired groan.

"She's already called you, why does she have to call me too?"

"Since you're at your place and I'm at my place according to her it only seems logical to call us both." Emily said laughing.

"Oh, right."

Morgan forced himself to sit up and grabbed his phone meeting the same voice as Emily did a few minutes ago. He sighed loudly as he got up to gather his clothes while Emily got into the shower. They had been seeing each other for a couple of months now and spent almost every night together, except when they were away on cases. The team didn't know and they liked to keep it that way so that nothing would change with the work routines. They always stayed objective during cases and didn't get too personally involved when the other was in some kind of danger. Hotch would probably never pair them together if he knew about their feelings for each other, but the truth was that they worked best with each other. They could always have each other's back and it was easier to hide their affection for each other if they were alone. Not that they wasn't good at hiding the relationship from the others because they were, but it was nice to be able to hold each other's hands to calm each other or even give each other an occasionally hug. And by the time the team did find out they would've already seen that their relationship didn't affect their work.

It took only ten minutes for Emily to shower and get dressed and Morgan was just as fast and ten minutes after Morgan was done they were heading out the front door each with a coffee in their hand. They drove in separate cars not to raise any suspicion, but they didn't really care that they happened to arrive at the same time since they both lived 15 minutes from Quantico. They met Reid in the garage, who also had gotten himself some coffee for the ride, and the three of them headed up the elevator to meet the others in the conference room. When everyone was seated JJ begun.

"Three women have disappeared in Fairview, Virginia. Winona Sanders, 35, Rachel Barron, 41, and the most recently Ava Brown, 38. With each kidnapping the kidnapper sent a photo of the woman. He calls himself the collector, but the Fairview police have no leads so far and they've requested our help."

On the TV-screen behind JJ were now the three pictures of the women which the kidnapper had sent. All of them were naked hanging from the roof with their mouths sewn together, but you could tell that two of them were alive by the life shown in their eyes.

"Okay, wheels up in 30." Hotch announced and they all left the room.


A/N There you have it. Decided to put Morgan and Prentiss together in the very beginning this time so I don't have to work myself into a relationship:P

Please review and let me know if I should continue. I don't know how many actually watches both shows^^
