Dave goes to the coffee pot and pours himself a cup of coffee. "I'm not usually so bewildered by a case, Aaron. This one is throwing me for a loop."
"Or is your mind not quite focused on the case because of a certain someone?" Aaron teases Dave as he pours himself a cup of coffee.
"Keep your voice down. It's bad enough that you know, let alone anyone else. Erin didn't want anyone to know. She's so sensitive, so you just keep your big mouth shut. Don't you dare jeopardize this for me." Dave hisses at Aaron.
"Alright, alright, I'm kidding. I'm glad you're happy though. Now let's get this case solved and get home." Aaron says carrying his coffee cup into the conference room.
"I'm not even sure I know where I'm going home to anymore. I haven't been home for so long. My publicist wants me to go to some events to celebrate my book. I just want to spend more than two days at home at a time. Now I remember part of the reason I got out. I feel like I don't have a place to call my own because I'm never there." Dave stirs two teaspoons of sugar into his coffee in the conference room.
"That why I like having Jack to come home to. He gives me a place and a person to come home to." Aaron sits down and pulls the file apart to look at a couple of parts. "Where are the autopsy reports?"
"Right here." Reid says pulling a couple of manila folders out from under a large map he's consulting without looking up. He picks up his cell phone and dials Garcia's direct line. "Garcia, can you check for other cases similar to these four in bordering states?"
"I'm on it, boy genius." Garcia says before she hangs up.
"What are you thinking, Reid?" Blake asks as she knows Reid is on to something.
"The MO is too sophisticated at the first crime scene for it to be the 1st time this killer has taken a life this way. The crimes are too neat and tidy. This unsub has done this before." Reid says as he looks at the crime scene photos.
Dave looks at the photos Reid is looking at and says, "That makes sense. The crime scenes are too neat. If this was an unsub's first crime there would be blood everywhere, but there isn't. My guess is that these aren't the primary crime scenes. We need to find the primaries."
"Do we have any sense of where the primary crime scenes may be? Can we be looking at one primary for all four victims or is this unsub too careful to do that?" Aaron asks his team.
"I think he'd have to have a private space to do this where he wouldn't be interrupted. He must live along and the odds are that we have one primary crime scene somewhere remote. That doesn't narrow it down very much around here." Derek analyzes the information on the case.
