Author's notes: This is my first fanfic, so please nice, I AM NOT A PROFILER and sadly I don't know Chicago, so I apologize for any mistakes along the way, this is just coming out of my twisted mind, so I hope you enjoy reading it, as much as I enjoyed writing it.
BAU HEADQUARTERS
WASHIGTON, D.C.
All the members of BAU team were sitting around the table of the conference room. Except for J.J. that was handing them folders with the information of their new case, while giving them an introduction.
"Chicago PD is asking for our help…" J.J. started "…for the last two months their murder rate has gone up, shootings, stabbings, fires, etc., turns out… they're all related"
"How so? These are all different M.Os as well as the victims" Morgan asked.
"A member of the CSU found this image carved in the body of a woman stabbed to death…" she said showing them the image on the screen "…she remembered seeing it on another crime scene she'd processed, so she looked for it… turns out it was burned in the wall of a burned building" once again showing the image on the screen. "She kept looking and she found the image three more crime scenes a shooting, a rape and a beating, all victims were killed" she continued showing all the images at the same time.
"So…they're multiple unsubs" Prentiss said.
"Or one unsub with multiple personalities" J.J. let slip almost in a whisper.
"Well we've seen it before" Reid defended after an awkward silence, knowing well who she was referring.
"We'll have to study the files, before supporting any of those theories" Gideon said ending any further discussions.
"OK, wheels up in an hour" Hotch said getting up.
In the airplane Gideon and Hotch sat opposite to each other, as did Emily and Morgan, while Reid and J.J. sat together on the couch. They were all studying the files while J.J. spoke with Detective Green, the CPD "liaison", she knew all the cases had different detectives, which surely would fight to hold on to their cases, a bomb waiting to blow up, she thought.
"OK, OK, we'll see you then" She said hanging up.
"All set?" Reid asked said looking briefly away from the files.
"For now" she said smiling, she wanted to say something to Reid about her comment earlier, but she didn't know what to say, she didn't know if she should apologize or brush it off, or what. Even though their friendship was practically back to normal, she didn't really know how to approach the subject of Tobias and all related to that case, so she didn't say anything she just went back to reading the files like the rest of the team, not knowing Reid was thinking the same about her.
-
"Guys listen to this" Morgan said while checking his files.
"This guy died April 7th and his TOD was declared around 9 and 10 p.m. in one side of the city, while this fire started at 9:25p.m., the same day in the other side, there's no way the same unsub committed both crimes" Morgan said.
"This shooting and this beating occurred on the same day around the same time" Emily said after checking the date and time of the crimes in her files.
They all checked their files. "All crimes were committed the same day at the same time, that settles it then, we're definitely looking at multiples unsubs" Gideon said not missing the breath of relieve both his younger agents let out.
"OK, what a stabber, a rapist and a beater are doing working together?" Hotch asked starting their usual airplane brainstorm.
"It doesn't make any sense, usually this kind of criminals have dominant personalities, they're being working together is extremely rare, it would ensue to much chaos, all of them wanting to… well… dominate" Reid spoke.
"Maybe they're competing" Emily said.
"I agree, but we have to take in consideration the other unsubs a shooter and a fire starter usually use those M.O.s because they're not able to come close to their victims, they're usually loners…" Gideon said "…they're not the kind who'd join this kind of competition, I must confess I'm at awe here, the chances of at least five different unsubs, with five different M.O.s working together is next to impossible".
Before any of the could answer J.J. cell started ringing.
"Agent Jareau"
"How many victims?"
"Is that confirmed?"
"OK, I'll tell the team, Thank you, yeah, we're almost there, like half an hour away"
"See you then" She said hanging up.
All of them looking at her expectantly. "That was Detective Green, he says last night around 9 and 10 p.m. five victims were found in different parts of the city, same M.O.s as the last murders and same image in all of them"
After a few minutes of silent consideration Hotch spoke "-today is April 21st just to weeks since their last killings, it was fast"
"The same time, they like darkness" J.J. contributed.
"More than that they like killing between 9 and 10" Morgan added.
"OK, if we want to give a profile for these unsubs anytime soon, we'll have to split up and work fast, Prentiss you'll take the rape cases, Morgan the beatings, Reid the fires, Hotch the shootings, I'll take the stabbings. Profile your unsubs as one individual, don't consider the other cases at all, check every detail of the victimology once we're ready we'll meet and find the overlaps. J.J I need you to keep this away from the press, as far as they know crime rate has gone up and we're looking for a serial killer, we don't have any comments at the time, we don't know yet how media exposure will affect the group dynamic, we can't risk a killing spree and I need you to help us check files up to a year ago, they're evolving too fast I don't think they're just starting"
They all nodded at they're assignments and started switching files and studying them. Before they knew they were landing, a few meters away a patrol and two SUV's we're waiting for them.
What do you think TO BE CONTINUED???
