10 minutes later, the profile my team (can I call them that?) came up with barely lowered the list of suspects. I think my opinion of the BAU was too high. At the rate we're going, filing paperwork sounds more appealing to me. (It's that bad.)
"You're going to have to give me more information than that, boy genius," I said.
"That's the profile we came up with Garcia. I don't know what else we can give you," said Spencer.
I took off my stylish glasses and pinched the bridge of my nose before looking back at the list of 15 suspects.
"Oh my Junior G-man. There are 15 suspects and three superheroes on the team. I'll send the list to your PDA's and you guys can break the list up from there,"
"Garcia, you don't even know our numbers," said Spencer.
I rolled my eyes, feeling sympathy for the young genius. "Boy genius, never question the Oracle. Now go find Hotch and Morgan and divide up the list of suspects,"
I turned back to my computer to finish research for my team (I guess I can call them that) when I heard Spencer correct me.
"They're called unsubs Garcia,"
"Last time I checked, they meant the same thing honey," I shouted back.
"Don't call me honey Garcia," Spencer replied.
I smirked to myself in response. "I'll try not to Boy Genius, but no promises,"
An hour passed before I regrouped with Hotch, Morgan and Spencer at their desks in the bullpen.
"The five men I questioned, they gave me solid alibis and had witness collaborating their story," said Hotch.
"Same goes for me. The men I questioned also had solid alibis," Spencer added.
"Well, you guys might have lucked out, but I think I've found our prime suspect. His name is Brian Matloff. He's worked for the Blue Ridge Parkway Service for five years, which gives him full access to the park and service roads, enabling him to get a clean getaway each time," said Morgan.
"How do you know that he's the killer?" Hotch asked.
"Well, I asked the neighbors surrounding his apartment about his behavior or activities. Some said that he's been acting nervous lately and others have seen Matloff carrying - get this – books of Native American mythology around," Morgan remarked.
"Wait a minute – I think I know why the unsub buries his victims face down," said Spencer.
"Don't hold out on us kid. Tell us what you know," said Morgan.
"Well according to Native American mythology, it was customary to bury the dead face down so the souls of the dead couldn't come back from the dead and haunt their people,"
"Reid, that's good information, but that still doesn't prove that Matloff is the killer," Hotch remarked.
"Come on Hotch, we got this guy hook, line and sinker. Look if it will make you feel better, why don't we head back to the park and show Matloff's face around to see if a victim could place him with Darci Corbett," Morgan argued.
Hotch sighed. "All right, we'll head back to the park to look for witnesses. In the meantime Garcia, dig everything you can up on Brian Matloff – leave no stone unturned,"
Before I had a chance to reply, Hotch, Morgan and Spencer were already heading for the elevators.
After I recovered from my shock from Hotch's order I said aloud, "Sir yes sir," as I started to dig into Matloff's personal history.
Almost an hour and thirty minutes passed before the team returned with a witness in tow. One thing is for sure, he is nowhere near a star witness. His name is Marvin Leopold – a heroin addict. Yeah, like I said not the best witness, but he provides enough information for Hotch to have a warrant signed for Matloff's arrest. Agents have said that Leopold told Hotch and Morgan that he saw Matloff and Darci Corbett talking the day she disappeared in the park.
"I've got the warrant," Hotch announced.
"Good, because I'm ready to cuff this son of a bitch myself," said Morgan.
"Morgan, you can't land a punch on every single one of our unsubs. Eventually, someone is going to notice, then Strauss is going to notice and maybe even Internal Affairs," said Spencer.
Morgan rolled his eyes. "Cool your jets kid. IA would never notice a punch landing on any suspect. They wouldn't even care anyway. Those sons of bitches always get what's coming to them eventually,"
"SWAT is going to meet us there, so unless you want Matloff to get away while you two argue, I suggest that we get in the SUV as fast as we can," said Hotch.
"Stay safe," I called to my team.
Morgan waved his hand to acknowledge my comment. "We always stay safe Penelope. And we always come home,"
With that, the elevators doors closed, and I closed my eyes to wish my team the best of luck.
So so sorry for this extremely short chapter! However, I have some good news and bad news:
GOOD NEWS: WE ARE APPROACHING THE FINAL CHAPTER.
BAD NEWS: WE ARE APPROACHING THE FINAL CHAPTER.
Anyways, please leave a review below, and thank you for all of your support!
