Quiz time again! The city I mention in the chapter fictional but I did not come up with it. Where does the name of the city come from?

Also you do not need to know anything about Person of Interest to enjoy this story. It will all be explained in time. I do feel the urge to mention that I deeply loved the show and I cried when it ended.

Chapter Two:

So who is Harrold Riley? Garcia thought as she entered her office. She had managed to pull out as much data from home. He was from an undercover unit in cybercrimes which didn't explain much as she had never heard of there being and undercover cybercrimes unit. She'd have to do more digging from her computers at work.

She was assessing cases when there was a knock on her door. She opened it to find Harrold Riley waiting for her.

"Penelope Garcia," he said with a slight smile. "I'm Harrold Riley, your new unit chief though I suspect you already knew that."

Garcia didn't know what to say. She hadn't even said a word and she was already in trouble!

"At ease Garcia, I'm something of a hacker too," he said warmly. "I highly value curiosity and innovative thinking. But you will have a hard time finding out much about me. I am very careful about how I share my personal information."

"Understood Sir," Garcia said as she stood up. They shook hands.

"Now I'd like to go over which cases need our most direct attention…"

Reid, Alvez, and J.J. did their best to try to stay busy while not staring up into their new boss's office. They made small talk and finished paperwork. At precisely nine-thirty they received a text saying they were needed in the conference room.

Rossi, Reid and J.J. found Riley and Garcia in the conference room waiting.

"Hello," he said once they were all seated. "My name is Harold Riley. I come from an undercover unit in cybercrimes. I know that is not much to go on but I do believe we'll get to know each other in time. Garcia would you care to start?"

"There have been a series of murders in Platinum Flats California. Someone is abducting and killing software developers."

She passed out folders of information and turned on the monitor. Three pictures appeared of men in their late twenties of different ethnicities. Riley nodded to the screens.

"The three victims were found in three different parks," Riley said. "Each victim was abducted and disposed of in the span of approximately forty-eight hours. The cause of death is a tranquilizer intended for large animals but lethal for humans. The police are looking into any and all veterinary offices where the drug might have been kept."

Rossi was looking at dates. "Why did it take so long to contact us?"

"The first victim was initially assumed to be a suicide," Riley said.

Reid looked at the medical examiner's report. "No obvious signs of physical trauma. The lethal injection was to the neck."

"So what was the UNSUB doing to them during that time?" J.J. asked.

"That is what we're going to Platinum Flats to find out," Riley said. "We'll be departing in thirty minutes time."

Rossi noted that Riley's go bag was of the same high-quality as his suit with an element of refinement different from his own.

Once everyone was situated and the plane was in the air Riley asked:

"Dr. Reid would you care to give the profile of Platinum Flats?"

Reid looked surprised to be asked but quickly obliged:

"With a population of fifty-two thousand, it is located between San Francisco and Los Angeles and the home of some of the largest technology firms in the country. It is also known being a hub for developing eco-friendly design for things ranging from cars, to homes, to clothing. The average age for this population is below fifty but with few families of two or more children. There is a wide range of ethnicities located within the community."

Riley nodded. "It sounds like a utopian paradise doesn't it? A place to explore one's greatest dreams for a better world. But we all know that it is merely a façade. There is no such thing as a perfect community and it is up to us to explore the deepest, darkest cracks."

Garcia suddenly appeared on the screen of Riley's tablet. "Sir, another man has been abducted. Marvin Hastings. He was out for a jog when his wife reported he never returned and had watched the news about tech developers getting kidnapped."

Alves flipped through the file. "He's the first victim with a spouse, everyone else lived alone."

"That means the UNSUB is growing more confident and willing to take more risks," J.J. said.

"Time is truly of the essence then," Riley said. "Thank you Garcia. Please email us the rest of the information you have."

"Yes sir," Garcia said and the monitor went blank.

Riley looked around. "I wish we had a white board in here in times like this. Let's discuss the most pressing questions. Who would like to start?
