Chapter 2
The Victims
At the local police department Reed and Garcia start unpacking in a small room, while the local sheriff debriefs them on some policies they need to be aware of.
"We hope this is enough space for everything, we weren't sure what you exactly needed" the sheriff said
"This should be fine but, can you get us all the cases memos that have been made about each crime scene?"
"Of course" the sheriff walks out of the room.
Garcia unpacking and setting up her computer in a hurry, asks "so how is it you always get sent to the department with me?"
Reed with a weird look on his face as he puts down his messenger bag "what do you mean?"
"I mean why can't Morgan or hotch get sent here with me? Not that you aren't a great person I'm just curious."
"The way I see it you are a technology genius and I am an actual genius, we're better with papers and computers than dead bodies and blood." Reed says as he smirks at Garcia
"Here you go." The sheriff says as he hands reed a stack of notebooks labeled with the victim's names.
Reed sits down and starts to speed read the note books while Garcia starts to hack into the database of the department.
Meanwhile at the college Morgan and Hotch enter into the dorm room of the most recent victim.
"No sign of forced entry had to be someone he knew" Morgan observes
"The Unsub may be lureing their victim to be a friend first and then killing them" Hotch predicts
As Hotch continues to look around the room, Morgan notices that the student's desk is not very neat. "Hey hotch, so I'm a college student studying chemistry taking 3 science classes, why is my work so disorganized?"
"I don't know maybe our Unsub was looking for something" Hotch snaps a photo of the desk
"Well we should box these papers up and take them back to the station to see if he found it."
"Good idea you get that and see if there's anything else in here I'm going to head across the campus to find Elle." Hotch hands over the camera to Morgan and walks away from the dorm room.
Across campus Elle is talking to an on campus officer in regards to the roommates.
"So none of the roommates would speak?" Elle asked
"They all claimed they were not home until they did come home and found the body." The officer replied
"Very interesting."
Just then Hotch walks around the corner "Hey Hotch."
"What have we got here?" Hotch says looking around
"Not a whole lot this girl was a theology major with 4 classes and a whole bunch of extra activities and yet all her work is a pigsty." Elle says lifting some papers and books out of the way
"That's what it was like at the other crime scene, call Morgan tell him when he's done there to come over here and collect this stuff too, our Unsub is trying to figure out something we need to figure it out before he does." Hotch continues down the hallway to the final room of the victim's (this being the first victim's room) He walks in and notices that again there is no sign of forced entry and the paper's are all a mess, he picks up the phone and calls Reed.
"Hey Reed, I need you to have Garcia get a list of the three victim's classes and teachers, invade their social media profile's if any, find out who knows these kids and what they were really working on."
Reed acknowledges hangs up the phone and looks at Garcia, "Let's get to work!"
"I thought you guys would never ask" Garcia says with a flirty look in her eye.
