Chapter 12 Profiling the She-Wolf
After Hotch's, surprising revelation, the team quickly gathered in Reid's apartment. They would work in there to have privacy and fewer distractions to determine a profile and start their hunt for the Un-Sub.
"Let's start with the werewolf or woman wolf," Morgan said. He was clearly having a problem processing this new information.
"The preferred term is She-Wolf, for feminine." J.J. calmly corrected.
Hotch made a mental note to ask how she knew about werewolves when this was over.
"She clearly has amours intentions and is seeking a child," Prentiss said. "That was clear from the letters. She hunted for what she considered to be the perfect mate."
"Normally when a She-Wolf is seeking a mate she will select a male, human or werewolf, and attempt to seduce him," Hotch explained. "For some reason, she has decided to actively collect."
"How long would she hold Reid?" Rossi asked.
"She would want to hold him until she was sure that she conceived," Hotch answered.
"Will she wait until she gives birth or only until she knows?" Prentiss asked.
"How long does a werewolf, She-Wolf stay pregnant even?" Morgan asked.
"Same as humans, 40 weeks," J.J. answered.
This still seemed strange, with J.J. providing information to the team.
"You said, actively collect, is that normal?" Rossi asked.
"The case in Virginia, the Un-Sub was a werewolf." Hotch explained. "It was the first Un-Sub we have ever searched for that was a werewolf. He was seeking a child, to be a father. He choose Michael Tanger when the other boys were inadequate to him. These cases are rare. He would have turned Michael into a werewolf."
"Let's look at that Un-Sub. She's going to need someplace private, isolated, to hold him." Morgan said.
"We also need to look at Settles." Rossi said. "In the letters he got out he called a woman his sister."
"Settles is an only child." Prentiss said.
"What if he had a partner?" J.J. asked. "That could have been a nick name or term of endearment."
"We never profiled a partner." Prentiss said.
"Maybe she had something on him or he was in love with her and kept her a secret." Rossi said.
Settles had refused to speak after he was caught.
"That would explain his silence." Morgan said. "She became his link to the outside."
"We can't go out to Colorado and back, Reid doesn't have the time." J.J. said.
"How did you pick up on her being a She-Wolf?" Morgan asked.
"I caught a wiff on the letter that she gave Reid." Hotch explained. "I purposely mesmorized in case I smelt it again. I never smelt it on him, so she probably never came close to him."
"Which means he never saw her." J.J. said.
"I came here after the stalker sent flowers to the office. Her scent was here, she marked her territory." Hotch confessed. They already knew the She-Wolf knew where Reid lived.
"How long would the scent last?" Morgan asked.
"A few days." Hotch answered.
"If she's been here," Morgan called Garcia and put her on speaker.
"Please give me something." Garcia pleaded.
"Baby-Girl, we have reason to believe that the Un-Sub may have come to Reid's apartment about the time he got the flowers in the office."
"I think now might be the time for a confession." Garcia started.
"What is it?" Morgan asked.
"After I set up Reid with the tracker I hacked all of the cameras around his apartment. I have recorded everyone that has walked along his street." Garcia said. "It's all saved."
"Garcia that is perfect." Prentiss said. "Can you eliminate anyone that looks like they live in the area."
"Look for women wearing scarves or a hat. She probably wanted to be in disguise." J.J. said.
"I'm already sorting."
"Send the pictures to the tablets." Hotch ordered.
"Yes, sir." Garcia said.

Reid laid on the bed trying to stay calm.
He would need to wait until his team had found him.
He would need to wait until Aaron found him.
Reid didn't actually want to go back home to his apartment. What he wanted to do was go back to Aaron's apartment. To sit with him and Jack at the table, eat a home cooked meal, maybe he would teach Jack a magic trick or provide him a lecture on classic mythology and comic books. Maybe he would read Jack a story just like his mom would read to him.
Reid wanted to go home to Aaron and Jack.
That was when he realized he wanted that in his life, he was in love with both of them.
He had known both for years, but in the last few weeks he had come to know them even better.
Reid was interrupted from his thoughts by Badriyah coming in. She was looking at him alike he was a piece of meat. Slowly she came to the bed and sat on it.
"I want to talk, before." Reid said nervously. "I want to know about you."
Badriyah smiled. "None of the others I choose as mates have asked to talk before. I find this intriguing, what would you like to know?"
"You said your brother, Benjamin Settles, told you to find me, why. I want to know what brought you to me."
"Benjamin isn't my brother, he was a partner. That was what he would call me when we were hunting together. He had actually tried to hunt me first before we meant. When he realized what I was we decided to hunt together. Then he got caught, but I escaped."
Reid thought about the file. There was nothing that had ever indicated a partner. However, based on behavior there was a possibility.
He couldn't believe his luck. He was tied to a bed by a She-Wolf who happened to be a partner to a serial killer.
Could his luck possibly improve?
"Did he tell you about me?" Reid asked. He might as well gain all the information that he could from her.
"Yes," Badriyah answered. "He told me that he agreed to your serial killer interview program. So I decided to look to see who was interviewing him. That was how I found you."
Reid thought about. Settles had managed to sneak out and receive letters from the Badriyah. It wouldn't be the first time a convict had arranged to get messages from the outside.
"When did you first see me?" Reid asked.
"In a coffee shop." Badriyah answered. "I smelt you and knew you were perfect. I also smelt that other werewolf you were hang around with. I thought you might know about us."
Reid started to get nervous for a moment. If she had smelt Hotch before, hopefully she couldn't smell what they had done the night prior. He had showered afterwards, they both had.
"I knew you weren't a Werewolf and I was okay with that. I knew I could change you or not." Badriyah said. "I prefer not to. I didn't want to mare this beautiful skin of yours. She ran her fingers lightly on Reid's chest and stomach. So much nicer than the others Benjamin and I hunted."
Reid tried not to show any emotion as Badriyah moved to straddle of him. "You will give me such a wonderful child."

ahowell1993 – I am assuming that you want Badriyah to be successful and have Hotch and Reid to have custody of the child. She isn't someone you want for the mother of your children I think.
