AN:

I added this chapter without looking at reviews so I hope the first one was okay. I'm enjoying writing this already so I hope you guys are. I just want to say thank you for reading this and would you please review it so I know if I'm doing ok/rubbish thanks.

Chapter 2 – The Case

Everyone quickly got down to business as Garcia disappeared into her office/lair to store Cammie's cake in her mini-fridge for when they came home. Hotch pressed a button on a small black remote and the FBI logo on the big screen was replaced by the photograph of a young boy with floppy blonde hair smiling gappily at the camera. All traces of earlier happiness were wiped from Hotch's stern features,

"This is Ryan Samuels, 8, from Riverdale, a small out-of-the-way town in Arizona."

Reid noticed Cammie flinch slightly at the mention of Riverdale, but he left it for the moment, filing it away for future reference as Hotch continued,

"Ryan was abducted outside his school by what witnesses describe as a white male with scruffy dark blonde hair. Riverdale PD believe that this incident is connected to a long string of abductions and murders between many ages and racial and social classes."

Rossi raised an eyebrow,

"How long a string?"

Hotch's face, if possible, grew even grimmer,

"Over 20"

Cammie's perfectly arched eyebrows shot up,

"Why weren't we called in earlier?"

Hotch sighed

"Riverdale PD only just decided that they couldn't handle this themselves."

"Sounds about right"

Reid heard Cammie mutter barely audibly under her breath, another file to be saved in the 'What's up with Cammie' folder. Hotch looked up in surprise,

"What was that?"

Cammie flushed a very pale, barely visible pink,

"You said 'over 20', do you know the final body count?"

"The parents of each child were murdered between 1-2 weeks after the abduction. The child would then turn up beaten to death about a month later, so all in all around 60 in total."

Cammie ran a hand distractedly through her hair,

"60 dead and now they ask for help?"

Hotch's frown deepened,

"Just remember, we are not here to criticise the methods of the police departments we work with, only to assist them."

Cammie nodded, feeling embarrassed and chastised,

"Of course, I'm sorry."

Hotch nodded at her,

"Ok, wheels up in 2 hours. Bring a travel bag, this is going to be a long case."

The team nodded and left with perfectly practiced efficiency. As she walked on autopilot towards her large black SUV there was only one thought swimming repeatedly through Cammie's thoughts,

"Why Riverdale?"

AN:

Sorry if it's rather short, please tell me if you would prefer longer chapters. I've left you on another cliff-hanger, please tell me if that gets annoying or you think it's effective.

Thanks again for reading
