"So, we believe that the unsub is kidnapping these people, then...Removing body parts? And hiding them in geocaches," asked Reid. Hotch nodded, "We believe that the unsub has had some sort of either medical, or semi medical training due to the condition of the body parts. Which still doesn't really narrow it down, Garcia" Hotch said. "Yes sir?" Asked Garcia over the video conference. "I want a list of people who have possibly failed medical school, or have gotten fired from jobs that require medical training such as a medic, or nurse in Santiago," said Hotch. "I'm on it," "Also, I want you to try to track the person who is putting up these Geocaches," "Okay" said Garcia went to her work. "The jet leaves in an hour."
SANTIAGO, CA
"Reid, Morgan, I want you to go talk to the families of the victims, see if you can find out any reasons why they may have been targeted," said Hotch. "Let's go pretty boy," said Morgan to Reid, then they walked out, Reid choosing to ignore the comment. "Prentiss, and JJ, you should talk to the Santiago Police Station, try to get some more information on the missing people. Gideon and I will talk to some of the GeoCachers, see if they can tell us anything about the area where they found the geocaches, and investigate the areas."
The Johanson Residence
Mrs. Johanson was a stay at home mom who worked at home from her office. Married to Devon Johanson who had just went missing two weeks ago.
"Ma'am, is there anything you could tell us that might give us some insight as to why he was kidnapped?" Asked Reid, to the middle aged woman in front of him. "I hate to say this about my own husband..." started Mrs. Johanson, "But things were getting to be ridiculous. We had no social life due to his shy, awkward behavior in front of people. I guess everybody had just given up on trying to be-friend him, or us for that matter. We both worked from home, so basically no one knew him. We aren't rich, I don't think anyone has anything against us, I don't understand why someone would want to hurt him."
"I've thought filing for a divorce. I hadn't told him yet, I was actually going to before he disappeared." She stated sadly. "Can you tell us why?" asked Morgan.
"It's not the life I wanted for my kids, I love him with all my heart but sometimes it's hard not being social. I'm, I, I don't even.. so stupid, I don't even know anymore, why I considered it. All I want now is for him to be back!" She sobbed. "I'm not giving up!" She screamed at the two officers. They looked at each other, neither one wanting to make her any more upset than she already was "Miss, have reason to believe he may be seriously hurt, or" Morgan hated to say it- he always hated to say it, "Dead." Mrs. Johanson sobbed even harder.
"Mrs. Johanson I know this is hard, but I need you to tell us; why him?" Asked Reid slowly, not wanting to upset her any further . She looked up sadly at the two officers with tears in her eyes. "It really pains me to say this but..." she started to well up. "They probably thought that no one would even look for him."
After many tears, the officers left the final victim family's house. Each victim had been the same, socially awkward, no social life, almost a nothing in society. The strange thing about this situation was, that after these people went missing, everyone seemed to know them, and were determined to get them back.
Strange, thought Reid, and made a mental note to bring this up at the next confrence.
"Someone once said 'Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; in fact, sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go.'"
Authors Note: Well, chapter one is finished, actually it's my parents encouraging me to write faster... They both enjoy Criminal Minds, and GeoCaching, actually it was me and my mother's idea to do a plot about geocaching... (Can you say obsessed?) She get's Morgan, I get Reid. Ask her, we already did dibs. Sorry Reid and/or Morgan fans! Haha. My inspiration for this chapter was "When You're Gone" By Avril Lavigne. It's actually a good song by her, so go listen to it! AFTER you review. I repeat, REVIEW! Please? And thank you to those who have already reviewed, you make me smile! Review's are my friends, and they encourage me like my parents to update faster! P.S The quote was actually unknown but it suited the situation well. (P.P.S, Sorry that this is so horrible (Grammar and spelling wise...Only... I hope haha) I beta'd this very, very quickly. I hated making you wait! D: Sorry about the extremly long authors note!)
