Sorry for the wait everyone. It took a while for someone to review and at first i thought it was my twin being impaitient. Whoops. turns out it wasn't and when I tried to write this chapter... well I got a little writers block but it's okay and i got it done. Took a couple months but i got it. And the person who had the closest and only guess was... Mangofishy! Yay, good job and good guessing.
Chapter 6
Back at the Glendale the team, the sheriff, Shaggy, Reid, and Garcia were talking about the case when Kameron had connected to the computer that they had watched the video on.
"Guys, we need you back at the station as soon as possible," He starts getting everyone's attention. "Something has come up."
"Kameron what's going on?" JJ asks. "Why the hurry."
"You can't be telling me we have another victim already," Morgan says his anger rising again. Garcia puts a hand on his shoulder causing him relax a bit. Looking back at the screen Kameron shakes his head making his dark hair move and cover more of his face.
"No, its actually some good news." He pauses pushing his hair to the side. "Gideon thinks he has found out how the killers are choosing their victims."
"What?" Prentiss asks while Garcia sends a look of panic to Reid.
"He wants you guys here to explain it better," Kameron says.
"Alright then, wheels up in ten," Hotch says. The team starts gathering their stuff when the sheriff starts to speak up.
"Shaggy I want you going with them," he says. Hotch turns to the sheriff. "He might be able to help you with the case. Shaggy knows a lot about this case."
"Alright then. Team head out," Hotch says. As everyone heads out Kameron calls out to
Hotch. Waiting till everyone had left Hotch walks back to the computer. "What is it?"
"Gideon thinks it's best if you drop off Reid and Garcia at their apartment before coming back to the station." Kameron says. Crossing his arms across his chests, Hotch's eyes narrow.
"Does he think they're involved somehow?" he asks.
"I don't know. But Gideon hasn't told me much about it," Kameron shrugs. Hotch nods as Kameron breaks the connection. Grabbing his bag he leaves the room.
*Time skip*
Landing at the Las Vegas airport the team splits into two vans and heads to the police department. One van turning off onto a different road, taking a detour to drop off Reid and Garcia.
"Why can't we come with you," Garcia asks as Morgan pulls her bag out from the back of the van.
"Because baby girl you and pretty boy have had a long day and are going to take a rest," Morgan says handing her her bag.
"Alright, whatever you say," Punching him playfully in the shoulder. He just laughs watching them enter their apartment. Putting his sunglasses on he walks back to the drivers seat and gets in. After a few minutes him and JJ arrived at the police station. They quickly got out of the van and into the station.
"About time you got here," Gideon says moving by them to the board.
"Kameron says you found something," Rossi says.
"Yes it was the last two victims where it all clicked," He says pointing to the picture on the board of the two new chess pieces. "See how one of them is broken, and look at the map where the two pieces and bodies were found."
"They are on the same geographic block of the Las Vegas area," Prentiss states.
"Exactly. Now if we look at the other victims and where they were found," He says pointing to the other tabs. "They're all more on the outskirts of town at the beginning and creep closer to town with each victim. Also adding the fact that all the black chess pieces found were on the more eastern side of town while the white pieces was on the west. And when there were two pieces found on the same grid on piece was broken."
"There playing chess," Rossi realizes.
"Exactly," Gideon says.
"That explains a lot of things," Shaggy mutters.
"What?" Prentiss asks.
"The same thing happened back in Glendale. A few bodies found in different grid spots or disappeared," Shaggy explained.
"Well that confirms that they are the same unsubs," Prentiss says.
"Well we were already pretty sure," JJ starts. "But it does prove our chess theory."
"And with it we can now finish a new profile to match our new information," Hotch says leaning against the wall.
The others moved the stuff to the conference room to get ready as Hotch calls Kane over. When Kane walks over Hotch tells him to call the station together so they could revise the profile. Kan nods, leaving to gather his men to here the new profile. It wasn't long after when the officers were sitting in the conference room. Most holding a pen and a pad of paper so they could write the profile down.
"As you well know we have already given you a profile on the unsubs but after receiving new evidence we came to the conclusion that there isn't just one killer. That it just so happens this is a team of at least two people committing the crimes. One male and the other female," Rossi says walking in front of all the officers.
"How does this change anything?" a deputy officer asks from his seat looking up from his notepad.
"It changes everything," Morgan answers from his spot leaning against the back wall.
"And this isn't like any team we've experienced or have profiled before," Rossi continues. Looking over the officers as they quickly write before speaking again. "While in most team killings where each member has a specific personality role they play, there is neither a dominant or submissive personality in this team."
"They are not mission based killings as we first thought they were," Emily states. "This team is doing it just for the joy of it, and they plan each kill to the tee before hand. Even the way that they chose their victims also shows that this is a game to them. They are playing a game of chess to find which grid square they land on then they choose there victim from there and even kills in that same grid area."
Hotch opens his mouth to complete the profile, "Not only is a girl, guy team rare but they are both narcissistic, and believe that they are smarter then not only the police but the FBI. And they are most likely loyal to one another. Even if we catch one they will not give up each other meaning that they most likely grew up together, probably here in Las Vegas. Our key to catching them will still be the first victim. That is the key to catching them."
"From what we saw with the Glendale victims they were all killed the same way except for the last one. Compare that to our first victim here and it shows that the first game was probably leading up to killing that kid. The kid could have been there main target or they even killed him to get back at his parents for something they did," Morgan says.
"Las Vegas is a big city. There could be hundreds of people who fit this profile," a police officer says from his seat.
"You're right," JJ says. "But somewhere in your city there is someone walking down these streets who stands out more than others. You have probably even talked to them at one point." The officers nod as they close their notepads. Most leave quickly to get back to work while others talk with one another about the case and the profile.
"Do you really think we have talked to the killers before," Kane asks.
"Unsubs have a funny way of getting involved with the cases," Rossi answers placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. As they continue to talk Hotch walks over to their technical analyst.
"Kameron I need you to look up the first vic again. We need to talk to his father and get an idea of who it might be," Hotch says. Kameron just 'hmm's' and walks to his laptop to find the victims address. Prentiss looks around the room before walking over to Gideon who is standing in front of the board looking it over.
"What's up?" she asks receiving only silence his eyes scanning over the information.
Gideon looks at the profile over and over again. 'It couldn't be…' he thinks to himself. Shaking his head he turns to the grid of Las Vegas, still ignoring Prentiss, trying to figure out were the next victim would be taken from…
*Reid and Garcia Apartment*
"Well this throws a wrench into our plans doesn't it?" Garcia says flopping down on their large plush couch with a mug of hot coffee in her hands. Reid just shrugs a bit.
"I guess we will just have to bump are schedule up a little bit now won't we," Reid says as he sits down beside her holding a hot cup of coffee between his hands too, thou you couldn't really call it coffee since it was more like a cup of sugar with a hint of coffee in it.
"We will also have to get them ready too them," Garcia says with a pout.
"Oh there ready, don't worry," Reid sighs, eyes narrowing as he bringing the cup of coffee to his lips to take a drink. Thinking of how he really hated it when someone ruined his fun.
