While Morgan and Hotch were at the dumpsite, and JJ and Gideon interviewed the latest victims husband, Eva and Reid tried to figure out any patterns or clues within the clues.
" There's something here, and I just can't find it!" Eva exclaimed frustrated.
" What do you mean?" Reid asked.
" The numbers, the days these women where dumped on, something, there is a pattern I just don't know what!"
" Ok" Reid said "lets write this out." He pulled a pad of paper and a pencil and wrote out the five numbers.
8,8,16,24,8
" Eight, eight, sixteen, twenty-four, eight" Eva said over and over again.
"Wait, eight times two is sixteen" Reid said tapping the number with his finger.
"Oh and eight times three is twenty-four" Eva exclaimed " The numbers are all multiples of eight!" She exclaimed, happy they had figured it out.
"But what does the number eight have to do with this UnSub?" Reid asked noticing the small dimples that formed when Eva smiled.
"Eight, Eight , eight" Eva said.
"The poem!" Eva said suddenly making Reid jump.
" Sorry!" She said blushing.
"Ha, don't worry I'm a jumpy person, what do you mean the poem?" Reid said pushing a long strand of hair behind him ear.
" Look at the poem" Eva said pulling the picture out of the case file " count the lines."
Reid picked up the picture of the poem and counted.
"Eight, maybe it is an extreme case of obsessive compulsive disorder, when the number eight comes up, he needs to kill" He said after looking at the poem for some seconds.
" Yeah, so if he's killing every eight days" Eva looked at the calendar on the wall "His next victim is due in 2 days."
Both agents looked at each other, obvious fear etched on their faces.
" Mommy please don't!" He screamed, clinging to his mothers skirt as she threw clothes into a small, brown suit case.
" Stop it!" She said grabbing his little face hard between two finger " Stop acting like a child! I need to do this, need to do this, need to do this" His mother said, pacing back and forth from the suitcase to the dresser.
" But mum I AM a child" He said " I'm seven, and I need you! Please don't go!"
" No you don't need me! Your father does not need me!" She said zipping the suitcase.
She stopped and looked at the little boy sitting in the middle of the floor, tears rolling down his little cheeks.
" Stop that, you look like a wet puppy, good bye" She turned to leave the room when the little boy got up and ran to his mother.
" Mommy Please!" He sobbed " Take me with you! Don't leave me!" Again the little boy clung to her skirt.
" Stop!" She screamed. She slapped him… hard " I don't want you! Not you not your dad, I don't want either of you!"
He stopped, turned, and stared at that woman. It was like something inside him changes, anger and hatred boiled in his chest.
" I HATE YOU!" He screamed " LEAVE! GO! I DON'T WANT YOU HERE!"
His mother looked at him…shocked.
"Honey, please don't hate me! I didn't mean what I said! I'm sorry , I just wasn't-" She said kneeling in front of the little, angry boy.
" No!" He said, turning his face away from her " GET OUT NOW!"
She stood, turned and walked out the door.
Bolting out of bed, in a cold sweat, He reached over and turned on the light. 2 days, he needed to find a new liar in 2 days. He'd go shopping again tomorrow.
When the BAU team came back, all the 3 groups had new and different facts to share. Reid and Eva presented their eight theory, JJ and Gideon shared some of the facts that they leaved from Mr. Cade, and Emily shared what she and Garcia had come up for as a geographical profile.
"One thing Garcia found that might connect all five women, all three where about to get divorced, and all three where going to the same marriage counsellor" Emily said placing a list of the women, their husbands, and the name of the counsellor that was seeing them.
" Do we have the address of this clinic?" Hotch asked Emily.
" Yes Sir, right here" Emily said handing Hotch a piece of paper.
"I think we are ready to provide the Hidalgo police with the profile, everyone's clear on it?" Gideon asked.
"Wait" Hotch said "we need to talk to this… Dr. Alvin Kim, we should split up Gideon and Reid go talk to the doctor, Emily and JJ will interview employees, while Derek, Eva and I present the profile. " Hotch said looking at the team pausing a little longer on Eva.
'Okay let's do this." Gideon said while the team divided into groups and went to what they where assigned to do.
