Summary: Zugzwang. The replicator is done with copying murders. He's moved on to copying something else. The BAU team. Starts a few non-cannonical cases after "Carbon Copy". Won't follow the same path the show will, because I obviously don't know what will happen. No pairings, as far as I can see yet, maybe a sequel or a run off with pairings though. M just to be safe for violence and possible language. Don't want that, don't read it!
The Behavioral Analysis Team of the FBI was on their flight back from a week long case in the middle of nowhere South Dakota when Hotch's phone rang. He looked down at the caller id. Strauss. What could she possibly want? We just finished this case! He answered it, "Hotchner".
A pause.
"What?! This week? And you didn't think to even call us?"
By this time the rest of the agents on the plane were looking over at him.
After a minute, Hotch spoke,"Yes, I understand. We will head right over once we land." And he hung up, a dark look on his face.
"What was that about Hotch?" asked Morgan. "If that was Strauss asking us to do another case it'll have to wait until tomorrow at least!"
"That was Strauss" replied Hotch, the team let out a frustrating huff, "and we do have a case," he put his hand up to stop the complaints, "one that needs our immediate attention- The Replicator has been active again and we need to act fast."
"What has he done?" asked Reid. "Which murder is he copying now?"
"He hasn't killed, at least not yet." the team leader replied. "All Strauss told me is that seven teens have been kidnapped and The Replicator left his signature behind at all the sites."
"Zugzwang?" Rossi asked.
"Something like that." replied Hotch. "Strauss wouldn't tell me much, we'll be filled in when we get there, saying we had to see it our selves. She seemed... anxious. She wouldn't have called unless it was very serious. We will head straight to the bureau from the airstrip."
The rest of the plane was silent- contemplating what their stalker had done now, and why he had gone from murder to kidnapping teens.
I know it's short, but it needed to end the thought trains here. The next chapter is right here too! Review, Follow, Favorite tell me how my idea's doing, if I'm missing some huge plot point... or anything else! Thanks!
