Life in the BAU chapter 2- new case:
The team was working on their files for a previous case, while Reid was organizing his new desk, and filling out some papers for Hotch. Just then JJ came in, carrying a case file under her arm. "Oh boy." Morgan says as he watches her make her way to Hotch's office.
Hotch hears someone knock at his door and he stops what he's doing. he knows it's probably JJ. "Come in."
"Hotch, we have a bad one." JJ says, standing in front of her supervisor's desk and handing him the file she had tucked under her arm.
"Where is it?" Hotch says, reading over the case file.
"It's in New Paltz, NY. apparently, there's a guy hunting kids around there, and completely mutilating their bodies." JJ says, making sure to let him know that this is urgent.
"Ok, call everyone into the meeting room in 5 minutes." Hotch says, getting his stuff ready.
As JJ exits Hotch's office, everyone can tell what was up. "And just when i thought this was gonna be a relaxing day." Emily states.
"Guys, meeting room in five." JJ says, walking to Garcia's Lair to tell her.
Morgan just sighs. "Let's go Pretty Boy."
Reid gets up and heads to the meeting room. he was actually kind of giddy. Not at the fact that there was another psycho going around and killing people, but that this was his first real case with him as an agent.
As everyone was getting themselves situated at the table, JJ stands up front and picks up a remote and clicks a button, revealing gruesome pictures that made everyone cringe. "As of last week, there have been 5 kids brutally murdered and mutilated in New Paltz, NY." she says, clicking the button again, revealing more bloody and mutilated bodies.
"What's the time between kills?" Morgan asks, looking at the file in front of him.
"That's what the urgency is, the last 3 murders were about a week apart, but the last two were only 4 days apart." JJ says.
"He's devolving." Rossi says, staring intently at the images on the screen.
"That gives only two more days before he kills again. wheels up in an hour." Hotch says, getting up to call Hayley's sister to watch Jack, and pack his go bag.
Morgan just sighed. "Time to find a dog sitter for Clooney."
"We can see if Kitty could do it." Reid suggests.
"Good idea baby, could you call her on the way home?" Morgan says, getting up and putting his arm around Reid.
"Home?" Reid asked confused.
"Yeah, home, to get our bags packed." Morgan says.
"Oh, right." Reid says, feeling stupid for not realizing that sooner.
On their way home, Reid calls Kitty. The phone rings a few times before she picks up. "You called my sexy little genius?"
"Yeah... me and Morgan were wondering if you would be able to watch Clooney for a few days?" Reid says, trying to ignore his friends harmless flirting. Even after growing up with her, he still wasn't used to being hit on.
"Oh sure. got a case?" Kitty says, a little disappointed.
"Yeah. what's the matter?" Reid asks, wondering why she was sad.
"It's just that i won't be seeing you for a few days." Kitty says, pout clearly heard through the phone, causing Reid to smile softly.
"You'll see me when i get back. Then we'll have a movie night or something." Reid says to his almost surrogate sister.
"Ok, but i get to pick this time." Kitty says, perking up some.
Reid just giggles. "Fine."
"Love you my little brother, be safe." Kitty says, blowing a kiss to him through the phone.
"Ditto." Reid says, smiling as he hangs up.
Morgan's smiling at him as he hangs up. "What was all that about?"
"Kitty says she'll miss us." Reid says, smiling amusingly back at Morgan.
Morgan just smiles, and grabs Reid's hand, as they pull into their driveway. "let's go baby. we have to be on that plane in 30 minutes."
"Going as fast as i can." Reid says, running up to the door, causing Morgan chuckle.

As they all boarded the plane, they all took their seats. Morgan and Reid sat on the sofa, Hotch, Rossi and JJ sat in the seats a crossed from the sofa. "Ok, do we think he's in a psychotic break, or do we think he's a psychopath?" Hotch asks.
"Obviously a psychopath. No body in a psychotic break could take the time to mutilate specific parts of the body. If he was in a break, it would be way messier and way more torn up. This is almost surgical." Morgan says, studying the crime scene photos.
"I agree, he's way too particular with the mutilations." Reid says.
"But we need to find out why he's doing this in the first place." Hotch says. "Ok, Reid and Morgan, I want you two to go to the first crime scene and look for clues as to why he would attack this kid." "Emily and Rossi, i want you to go to the second crime scene." Me and JJ will go back to the station and work on the profile." Hotch says. "Now get some rest. we have a few hours, and i need you all ready."
Everybody nodded, and curled up in their seats to take a nap. Morgan and Reid snuggled up on the couch together. "Sweet dreams Baby boy." Morgan says, stroking his fingers through Reid's soft hair, and kissing the top of his head.
"Sweet dreams Derek." Reid says, closing his eyes and falling a deep sleep.
