It was only after the next abduction did the team find that the killer left something behind. Both Emily and Morgan went to the abduction site to find that the killer had left a piece of clothing behind trapped in a drainage cover. They knew it was a long shot and that it could be from their latest victim but they had to try and see if any DNA on it was from the killer.
They were unlucky with the DNA, it belonged to their latest victim who went by the name of Lauren Reynolds. So the race was on to find their latest victim before nine months is up. They have a while but it also depends on when he impregnates them and when they conceive and give birth. Obviously it depends on if she is able to get pregnant and consider the fact that she might have a miscarriage but the team knew that they had 10 to 11 months before he will kill her and dispose of the body so they got to work right away knowing that if they made a mistake it would cost them another life and possibly the life of another infant.
Fast forward 4 months and at the location of the killer.
Lauren is screaming for him to stop and he just keeps going. As he is forcing himself on her, he keeps screaming that he has to do this, that she has got to give him a child. If she doesn't give him a boy to grow up like him, then they will keep trying until she does give him a boy. If she is unable to give him a boy then he will kill her and move on to someone else and she will be found in a ditch far far away from there. About a week later Lauren takes a pregnancy test and finds out that she is pregnant and her and the killer makes an appointment for them to go and see the doctor to confirm and find out what the sex of the baby is.
A couple of months or so later, the killer and Lauren are in the doctors and waiting for a nurse to come and examine Lauren to find out what they are having. A moment later, and the doctor comes in and examines Lauren, after a few minutes the doctor finds a heartbeat and asks the couple if they want to know the sex of the baby, they say yes and the doctor says "Congratulations you are having….
Back to the team.
Hotch and the rest of the team were worrying about how little information that they had on the killer. It had already been 4 months and the team had next to nothing and they realised that they might not be able to save this one, they need to start working harder.
