Chapter 2 –

Garcia quickly typed in the parameters and let her 'babies' do their work, scouring not just the internet but the hundreds of police databases and government databases that she did not necessarily have the authority to access. Tapping her pen on the pink post-it notepad in front of her, Garcia was impatiently waiting for the results, knowing that Derek wouldn't ask her for something unless he thought it was worthwhile. Hearing a knock at the door Garcia quickly responded.

"I know I'm good my chocolate cupcake...but I'm not that good!"

JJ raised an eyebrow as she entered, waiting for her good friend to turn around but when she failed to do so JJ decided to take matters into her own hands.

"Chocolate cupcake...well I haven't heard that one before!"

JJ laughed as she moved closer to her brightly clothed friend.

"Oh JJ, my beautiful blonde friend, you took me by surprise! What can I do for you sweetie?"

"I think it's more about what you can do for me Pen...what are you up to?"

JJ's piercing blue eyes immediately focused on the numerous computer screens in front of Garcia as they started to bring up various pieces of information.

"Oh hang on, I've got to check this out!"

Garcia squealed as she quickly typed, bringing the information into one screen and sifting through it all before letting out a large gasp of air and swivelled around in her chair to face her friend.

"I think you need to get the team together..."

JJ looked curiously at Garcia, moving closer so that eventually her hands rested on the analyst's shoulders.

"Don't you think that you should give me an idea of what's going on first?"

Garcia was hitting numbers on her phone as JJ spoke.

"Hey babygirl."

"You, me, the team, conference room...now!"

Garcia turned around and put her hands on top of JJ's.

"Derek asked me to look into something for him, as a favour...from what I've just found out it's a bigger problem than any of us thought."

Garcia squeezed JJ's hands as she grabbed a memory stick from one of CPU's and stood up following an anxious JJ out of her office and towards the conference room.

Morgan clipped his cell back onto his belt, grabbing the faxed file he stood up and looked at Emily who nodded and followed suit by standing up. Morgan frowned as he turned and looked at Reid who was still busy quickly sifting through his backlog of paperwork.

"Hey Reid..."

Morgan stopped and waited until Reid looked up at him, waving the file and pointing up to the conference room.

"Oh...ok now coming!"

Reid tucked a few straggly bits of hair behind his left ear and grabbed his tatty brown leather bag as his long skinny legs quickly ran after Prentiss and Morgan who had just been joined by JJ and Garcia striding purposefully up the stairs. Hotch saw the majority of his team walking up the stairs, raising an eyebrow in curiosity and waited for JJ to stick her head around his door.

"Morgan's got a case for us."

Hotch just nodded as he closed the file he had been working on and grabbed his pen and a yellow legal pad and quickly followed the others into the conference room where Dave had also joined them, aware of come commotion coming up the stairs.

"Sorry about this everyone but I had a phone call from a friend this morning, Detective Matt Birt from Chicago , a teenage girl on her way to get an abortion vanished and a body of another teenage girl who had recently given birth has been found."

Morgan finished speaking and looked at Garcia who stood up and walked over to the large screen in the room and plugged in her memory stick.

"I did a search around the Chicago area to start with and then expanded it state-wide. What I found is that there have been fifteen teenage girls killed in the last ten years, all of who had recently given birth, another seven teenage girls had been reported missing in the last six years, all of these were thought to be pregnant…four of them were on their way to an abortion clinic at the time of their disappearance."

Morgan rubbed his head as he looked at Hotch as he scribbled some notes down.

"Ok JJ can you sort out the invite for us to go to Chicago?"

JJ nodded as she got out her phone, standing up to leave the room so that she could make the call in private.

"Wheels up in thirty minutes."

Hotch nodded as he stood up turning to Morgan.

"Get us all a copy of that file Morgan and Garcia we need everything you've got as well."

"Of course Boss man, I'll send it over to you straight away."

Garcia quickly extracted her memory stick from the screen and gathered her composure as she walked out of the conference room, back towards the comfort of her dark room and her computers. Hotch soon followed her out of the room with Morgan behind him, leaving Emily and Rossi sat at the table. Emily could feel Dave's focus on her as she turned to face him, ensuring that they were alone in the room before she spoke.

"I'm fine Dave!"

"I didn't say anything!"

"But you were thinking it…pregnant teenage girls who decide to get an abortion…yes that was me Dave but that was a long time ago."

"Just want to let you know if you need to speak to anyone…"

"Thanks Dave, come on we've got a plane to catch."

He walked into the dark room but could instantly make out the pool of blood that was on the floor. Cursing as he walked over to the cold body he grabbed the white dust sheet that had been on top of the dirty mattress and started to wrap the body in it.

"What are you doing?"

He jumped slightly at the sound on the familiar voice.

"Cleaning up your mess…as usual. What happened?"

"She was having a miscarriage, she was of no use, she was dirty…contaminated."

He nodded as he picked up the girl, noticing how light she was.

"Make sure you dump her properly."

"Yes, of course."

He knew the rules, the ones that ended up like this were supposed to be found, the message sent out loud and clear, and as ever God was on their side, they were doing the work of the righteous, that is why nobody had stopped them yet.
