Chapter 2
*in the first truck with Cat*
Cat POV
JJ: can I ask you a question Cat?
Cat: *driving* sure, JJ right?
JJ: yea, um what was up with the first outfit?
Cat: you really want to know?
JJ: yes
Cat: honestly, it was to get back at Tina…Tina and I have had beef ever since I was promoted to be a team leader. Our chief noticed that my methods were the reason why many of the cases got solved, he also noticed that when it came to cases that happened in social settings; for example a club, I was the one who had the most knowledge on Miami's social scene…the chief thought that was very beneficial so he split the team in two and Tina and I became the team leaders
Reid: so "Precious" was already working there
Cat: nope, when I got my own team I also got to pick the people I wanted to work with
JJ: ok that doesn't explain the outfit
Cat: ah *laughs* earlier Marcus and I were laid out on the beach because we're supposed to be on vacation this week, Tina called saying that I needed to come in just as we were about to indulge in a round of sex on the beach
Derek: *coughs*
Cat: I'm talking about the drink, anyways she cut my vacation short so I decided I'd mess with her a little bit
Reid: does this happen often between you too
Cat: nope, because she knows I'll win every time
JJ: alrighty then
Cat: we're here *parks truck*
*inside the lounge*
Cat: hola Rico
Rico (lounge owner): ah Catalina *looking at Reid, JJ and Derek* who are these outsiders
Cat: relax, they're with the FBI… we wanted to ask you a few questions about Rosie
Rico: ah *looks down* sweet girl, she came in with a few of her friends the other night, she drank and drank and drank all night, eventually her friends tried to cut her off and call her a cab but she walked off
Reid: did any of them try to go after her
Rico: nope, to be honest they were pretty wasted themselves, when Rosie stormed off they didn't bother to chase after her
Derek: that doesn't sound like a good friend
Rico: I know, but like I said, they weren't in the right frame of mind either
JJ: did anyone see the person who took her
Rico: I don't have a detailed description but the guy that got her to walk off with him was tall about 6'5, caramel complexion, very low hair cut…couldn't see his face tho
Reid: you said she walked off with him?
Rico: yea, according to my bartender, this guy was very smooth, and with her being extremely intoxicated, she was very vulnerable…here's the bartender coming in now….Mari
Mari: yes sir
Rico: these people are here to gather clues about Rosie
Mari: oh, I really couldn't see the guy's face…but he was tall, lite skinned and had a low haircut
JJ: alright thank you
*they head to 2 other local spots and witnesses gave the same description as Rico and Mari*
Cat: alright let's head back to the office
JJ: yea, the other team is on their way back as well
*back at the office in the meeting room*
Cat: ok, so we talked to the 3 owners of the first three abduction locations, all the witnesses confirmed that each woman left with a man that is described to be about 6'5, caramel complexion and a low haircut
Hotch: that's interesting, we went to the most recent location and witnesses reported that the UnSub was short, about 5'7, curly hair and a caramel complexion
Reid: so we have 2 UnSubs
Hotch: alright, we're going to go to the hotel for now and regroup in the morning, we may have to re-interview out witnesses
Seiko: you all aren't staying in a hotel
Derek: why
Cat: because here in Miami there are a lot of leaks…if you all check into a hotel, I can guarantee the public will know you're here
JJ: so where are we staying
Cat: in a house I own down here, its really low key and close to the office plus the public will be oblivious to who you really are, my team will also be staying there in case we wind up going undercover
Reid: own as in you don't live there regularly?
Cat: nah, I live in a condo, but when I have family or friends in town I stay at the house with them
Emily: well alright lets go
*at the house*
Cat: ok so this is it, I had the fridge fully stocked and there are five bedrooms but no one will actually have to share a bed…come on I'll show you around *shows the teams where they'll be sleeping*
JJ: this is nice
Garcia: very posh
Precious: yes honey, you should see her room
Cat: Precious you know my room is off limits…well I'm if you need anything my room is over there at the end of the hall…see everyone in the morning
Derek: Cat can we talk?
Cat: nope
Derek: why
Cat: I don't want to talk to you
Derek: come on please Cat, we need to talk
Cat: nope good night *walks off*
Derek POV
Derek: damn she still doesn't want anything to do with me
Rossi: why is that
Derek: shit you scared me
Rossi: sorry, I was coming to tell you that me and you are sharing a room and Reid is rooming with Hotch…now why doesn't care want to talk to you?
Derek: because at one point in time we were together, we fought and she dumped me and never looked back
Rossi: mmhhmmm, how about we settle in and then you tell me the real story
*in the room, after they finish unpacking*
Rossi: *sitting on his bed* alright out with it
Garcia: hey homies sorry to interrupt
Derek: what's up baby girl?
Garcia: nothing me and the girls couldn't sleep so we decided to come in here
Derek: oh alright
Rossi: have a seat, Derek was just telling me a little about his past
Garcia: oule story time!
JJ: are you sure you want to know about Derek's past?
Emily: yea you know he's wild
Garcia: I know *smiles*
Rossi: relax, it's a story about him and Cat
JJ: now I'm interested
Emily: me too
Garcia: me three
Reid: *walks in* hey
Derek: lemme guess, can't sleep?
Reid: nope Hotch kicked me out
Garcia: *laughing* why?
Reid: because he wants to sleep and I want to read
Emily: wow
Rossi: alright well you're just in time to find out why Cat hates Derek
Derek: she doesn't hate me
Rossi: really Derek?
Derek: fine, she might hate me a little bit, anyways I've known Cat all my life, her and my sister Desiree were best friends so she was always around…we started dating when she was a junior in high school and I was starting my freshman year in college
Rossi: wait I thought Desiree was 7 years younger, how is it that she was a junior in high school when you were a freshman in college?
Derek: because I started school at 6 instead of 5, and when my dad passed I started skipping school a lot so I got held back a year, and she skipped 2 grades
Rossi: ah, now explain her hostility towards you
Derek: so she went to the same university as me after high school…we still kept our relationship going and I even gave her a promise ring…senior year I got tackled real hard during a game and that left me with a twisted leg and the end of a football career…a lot of the people I called my friends stopped calling, visiting and hanging out with me since I wasn't the popular football star anymore and I started feeling insecure about my relationship with her
JJ: you thought she'd stop talking to talking to you?
Derek: yea, a lot of other people did, so I was kind of expecting her to do the same…one night a girl came to my room and I let insecurity and temptation take over and we had sex
Garcia: Hot Stuff!
Derek: I know it was stupid…in the middle of the rendezvous Cat walked in and saw everything
JJ: oh wow
Derek: Cat grabbed the girl, punched her in the face and threw her out the room…then she started yelling at me…I tried to explain how I was feeling but she didn't want to hear it…she took the ring I gave her off and threw it at me, told me it was over…then she stormed out
Rossi: you didn't go after her?
Derek: you can only go so fast with crutches, by the time I got outside she was long gone…I went home a few days later and by then Desiree knew and I had to come clean to my mom and Sarah about what happened
Emily: how'd they take it?
Derek: they were very upset, my mom has always called Cat her daughter-in-law and when we started dating everyone had high hopes that we'd get married one day…but I screwed that up
Garcia: aw Hot Stuff *starts rubbing his back*
Derek: look I'm really tired, I'm going to call it a night
Emily: yea us too, come on girls *they walk out*
Reid: what about me, Hotch kicked me out
Rossi: how about you go to sleep then
Reid: fine *walks out*
Rossi: look *gco*
Derek: I don't want to talk about it anymore
Rossi: actually I was going to say that just because you sleep shirtless or just flat out naked at home doesn't mean you can do that here…I don't need a visual reminder that I'm not in my prime anymore
Derek: *laughs* aight man…night
*next day*
*in the kitchen*
Cat: morning people
JJ: hey *feeling awkward knowing about Cat and Derek* did you cook all of these
Precious: I helped
Cat: of course…anyways y'all can eat I'm going to get dressed
Emily: I could definitely use cooking lessons from her
Derek: yea, she always could cook *looking down*
Hotch: alright lets not waste to much time stuffing our face
*1 hour later*
*in the meeting room*
Hotch: alright so what do we know so far
Reid: well at the first three locations witnesses gave the exact same description of the UnSub
JJ: yea but at the last two locations the descriptions were the exact same but not the same as the first three
Gerren: so can we assume that we are dealing with a duo
Rossi: I think it's safe to say we are
Cat: at least we know that they have the same type when it comes to the women they abduct
Derek: yea, each woman had long dark curly hair and dark eyes, average height and extremely intoxicated
Emily: ok but still don't know why they are abducting these women
Hotch: Cat, you said you know the Miami social scene pretty well right?
Cat: yea, what are you thinking?
Hotch: ok, the last two places you said were majority local but if a tourist got lost they would probably stumble upon it…if you could predict where the UnSubs might strike next where would it be?
Cat: well now that we're dealing with places that tourists have stumbled upon I'd think they might progress to a more tourist filled club but nothing major like Mansion
Hotch: alright it's Friday so I'm sure the clubs are going to be crowded tonight, we might have to have a few of you go out tonight
Derek: free trip out?
Hotch: no, go undercover…maybe we can luck up and find more clues as to who is behind this…Cat, trust that you and your team can help some of my team fit in?
Cat: yes of course
Hotch: alright who from my team?
Cat: Garcia, Reid, JJ, Emily….and Derek
Derek: huh? *surprised*
Cat: you've partied in Miami before, you'll fit in
Derek: ok
Precious: yes! I can't wait to work my magic on y'all
Reid: ok I'm scared now
*up next, Cat's team gives the BAU a temporary makeover, Derek starts to feel a little jealous about Marcus, also the case takes a turn, as always this is my first Criminal Minds story, reviews and ideas are welcomed….also a special shout out to my first followers of this story; DiscoPenguin and RachelNicole523…Thank You!*
