Chapter 7

"Ok thank you Mr. Derulo we'll speak when you come in later!" hotch replied as he hung up the phone.

"so he's letting us know that it has something to do with Jason, Jason tattoo had future history written round it like the victims, he is literally making the victims into the object of his rage but how long is it before he goes after who his victims represent!" hotch profiled to himself.

"Erm... yes!" Garcia replied thinking hotch was talking to her, she was there technical analysis and had no profiler training so when they went off in there profiler talk, which the agents often did, she didn't have a clue what they were talking about! As Garcia finished talking there was a knock at the door, JJ came in, and they could tell by her facial expression it wasn't good news!

"Another body?" hotch asked bracing himself for the worst.

"Yes!" JJ replied but hotch could tell there was something more JJ hadn't told him yet.

"What is it?" he asked

"It's a family in their home, he broke in last night and killed them all, he killed a 3 year old hotch!" JJ told her boss as tears started forming in her eyes, she stayed professional and held them back, a skill she'd learnt as there communications liaison which also came in use as a profiler.

"He's escalating and fast, this can't be good!" hotch said as he followed JJ out the room to join the rest of the team.

"Why a three year old?" JJ said to herself.

"I think this is bigger than we realise!" Rossi commented as JJ and hotch rejoined the team.

"Morgan, Rossi, Prentiss, you go to the latest crime, don't let forensics or anyone get anywhere near the scene until you've been there we need to see it how he left it, take pictures of everything no matter their relevance we need to get ahead of this guy, he's felt the rush of family annihilation he's not gonna stop now. Once you get there ring me" Hotch said as the room fell silent all the agents bowing their heads as they realised the full impact of the latest victims have had, "Garcia search everyone with the initials J.S. that have any sort of relation to Jason, employees, reporters, we can't rule anyone out! You go with Garcia JJ and Reid, you and I are going to read through the victims case files as see if we can come up with anything new from them!" the team dismissed and went off to do their assignments.

"Morgan you ready?" Prentiss asked as he hung up his phone

"Erm... ye I am now!" he replied sliding his mobile back into his pocket

"Anything to do with the case?" Prentiss asked Morgan just shook his head, "ph who was it?" Prentiss asked becoming curious

"Just... erm... a sale call, come on let's go!" Morgan said trying to divert from Prentiss' conversation, he'd been off the whole time he'd been on the case but no one knew why, he kept to himself.

"Are you two ready, come on?" Rossi shouted from the SUV as the two agents walked out of the PD

Hotch and Reid had been going through the victim files for half an hour and still had nothing, despite Reid's super reading powers they still hadn't gone through half of the victims!

"were not getting anywhere here, no victimology, there too spread out look, carol Duarte, she was a 62 year old caterer on her way to visit her grandchildren when she was killed and then the victimology completely changes to a 15 year old walking her dog, Mel hicks, the two people had never met each other in there lives and lived at opposite sides of the country!"

"Wait you said she was walking her dog?" Reid asked, hotch nodded in return, "look where she was found, would you walk a dog there?" Reid suggested, just as he was getting onto something Hotch's phone rang, he answered it and held it up to his ear.

"Hold on Morgan, I'll put you on speaker!" hotch said down the phone as he placed it on the table so his college could hear what Morgan had to say.

"We've just walked in hotch, and Jason's song the other side is playing on repeat, this is defiantly about him if we didn't already know it!" Morgan told hotch.

"Ok, where are the bodies?" hotch asked as Reid sat in silence taking in the information, he'd read about that song when Garcia was reading an interview.

"Erm there all in the living room on the floor!" Morgan replied as Rossi and Prentiss went upstairs to see if there was anything else up there.

"Morgan can you send me a picture of the way the bodies are laid out from above them?" Reid asked in a very familiar tone, he had an idea which wasn't a very unusual thing for Reid; he often came up with the case solving idea when they had nothing.

"Whoa, you see that kid?" Morgan replied as he stared at the bodies on the floor, Reid may be onto something.

"Ye it's a heart!" Reid replied as he passed his phone to hotch so he could see, "the song, the other side, it's about going from the friend zone to a relationship, I think this is about love!"
