"I think it's time for you to be quiet," Longmore said after Shawn asked why he didn't kill him from three feet.
"He does hold a valid point," Reid said, taking Shawn's side. "If you really were still a killer you would have killed him where he stood and left the body for his friends to find."
"Shut up. Both of you," Longmore said before he went back to fixing the tail light Shawn kicked out.
"Looks like the last place, Rollins worked at before being arrested was a gas station called, Rhoda's," Rossi said, looking at the file with JJ, Morgan and Emily.
"Is it still in business," JJ asked.
"Yeah. A guy named Joseph Miller, bought it a couple of years ago," Rossi answered.
"The profile said that he might have a partner," Morgan stated. "I'll call Garcia and have her get a background check on the guy."
Morgan took out his phone and dialed Garcia's number.
"Tell me you found him," Garcia asked picking up the phone.
"Not yet, baby girl. Look, can you run me a background check on a guy named Joseph Miller, and see if he's crossed paths with Rollins," Morgan requested. "In fact do a background check on everyone Rollins knew, even the ones who were in prison with him."
"I will get back to you as soon as I have something," Garcia said before hanging up.
Shawn watched in pain as Rollins talked to his dad and Lassiter.
Oh, how he hoped that one of the would just look through that window and see him.
Reid watched as Longmore choked Shawn to keep him from calling out to the people outside with Rollins.
Maybe I could scream for him, but if I did that, I might get both of us killed, Reid thought.
Shawn watched as his dad and Carlton walked out of view and possible down the road to where Rollins misled them.
Longmore released his grip from Shawn, who started coughing as he tried to breathe normally again.
Both Reid and Shawn watched as Longmore left the room to the front of the building.
"Why didn't you do anything," Shawn asked hoarsely and angrily.
"If I said anything, we'd both be dead," Reid explained. "Don't you want to get out of here alive."
"Yes," Shawn said. "But what if that was your team out there, wouldn't you want me to at least try to let them know someone was in here."
"If my team was out there, they would have arrested Rollins, come in here and saved us," Reid replied.
"You are so full of it," Shawn said as he managed to undo the duct tape that held his wrist together.
At that precise moment, Shawn phone started to vibrate on the table above Reid
"What do have Garcia," Hotch asked, when Morgan put his phone on speaker.
"I have nothing on Joseph Miller except both birth and death certificates," Garcia replied.
"When did he die," Emily asked.
"July 1985," Garcia answered. "I'm sorry amigos."
"It's okay Garcia. What about everyone else," JJ asked.
"Everyone came up either still in prison or clean except for one Kara Macquarie," Garcia replied. "Get this, he was Rollins cell mate for the whole ten-year stretch. Both of them got released within days of each other. There's actual footage of them meeting up outside a café on the day of Rollins' release."
"Where is he now," Emily asked.
"That's where we hit another dead-end. Ever since his release, there's nothing on him except the fact that he bought a small apartment in his name in Santa Barbara. He hasn't even seen his parole officer once," Garcia explained. "I wish I could have done more."
"It's more than we had before," Rossi said. "Send us his record as soon as you can."
"Already sent," Garcia said before hanging up.
"Morgan, you and JJ go to Santa Barbara and see if the local police can give you anymore information than what's in his record," Hotch said as he grabbed Macquarie's record from the fax machine.
"Got it Hotch," Morgan said taking taking the papers from Hotch.
