Episode 13: menaces
-Mac's-office-
"Find out who killed my brother or a bomb will go off somewhere in New York City on Friday."
"That message came in to the squad room thirty minutes ago." Flack told Mac. "All government buildings are being searched and the schools are next." "Do you know who the bomber is?" Mac asked.
"No we don't, we are pulling all our case files from the last 10 years."
"Flack that's a lot…"
"I know Mac but it's all we have right now." Flack replied. "I figured we could narrow them down as we get information."
"And we have narrowed it down a little bit." Lovato said walking in. "The call originated from the south Bronx. They are still pulling all cases from the last ten years just in case the crime happened somewhere else."
"There is something else isn't there?"
"The mayor called in the FBI against commissioner Reagan's wishes." Lovato said. "Jo told me after a former coworker called her."
"Mac the F…" Jo started to say as she came in.
"I already know." Mac said.
Two hours later found Mac at his desk going over the other cases the crime lab day shift had been working on. They had closed two of them when the DNA results came in but it wasn't always that easy for them, after all they were no where near catching the guy who threatened to set off a bomb in New York City.
"Mac two FBI agents are here to speak with you." Adam said.
"Show them in." Mac said.
Adam left and came back with two men. One clearly older than the other.
"SSA Rossi and Dr. Spencer Reid." Adam said.
"Good to see you again. I wish it were on better terms."
"Don't we all." Rossi replied. "Do you have anything at all?"
"Stacks of folders of potential crimes and a recorded phone call." Mac replied. "My team is analyzing it now."
"Where are they?" Reid asked.
"The AV lab, Adam can show you." He replied.
-AV-lab-
Adam and Reid left Mac's office for the AV lab. Danny was back after taking some time to be with Lindsey and their new christmas surprise baby and his newly awakened brother. He sat in front of a computer playing the taped phone call over and over hoping to find something that can help them.
"Danny this is Dr. Spencer Reid from the FBI. He's here to lend help if he can."
"Can you clean up this tape so we can here the background noise?" Danny asked.
"No but the tech analyst I work with can." Reid replied.
"Call her please." Danny begged.
Two hours after Reid called Garcia (the tech analyst) she had cleaned up the sound to where they could identify the sound of a train and church bells in the background. Danny recognized the bells from a church Louie used to live by when he first moved out of their parents home. They looked up the area and there were only two buildings that could hear the church bells and the train at the same time. One was an old town house set up as a museum and an ragged looking apartment building.
The police checked each one out. The museum was closed and had a security system to prove that no one broke in. The apartment building turned up one lead but it was kind of flimsy but they still decided to check it out because several tenants mentioned a former renter that became quite creepy after his brother passed away.
-profile-
The unsub is likely a white or lite skinned male if they are of another race he would be picked on because of this. He would be in his early twenties to early thirties. He may have some military background or connected to the service in some way. He'll have trouble getting his anger under control and is to be considered armed and dangerous.
-station-house/lab-
"Mac, Lovato found a case with a Vic that had the same last name as the potential bomber." Flack said. "Randy Mars the victim was a Navy Seal home for Fleet Week. He was killed during a mugging in front of his little brother Aaron Mars. The mugger had a mask on so the Aaron couldn't identify him."
"Any suspects?" Mac asked.
"No but a single finger print not matching the victims or anyone in his family was found on his belt."
"Send it to the lab so we can run it and hopefully get this over before he can cause any damage."
Instead of scanning and emailing the print like most would do Flack drove the print over to the lab. He handed it over to Adam and watched as he entered the print into AFIS.
"How long do you think it will take?" Flack asked.
"I don't know it depends On…" the notification sound went off alerting them to a match.
"Lukas Black, thirty four year old former NYPD. Fired for excesses force and mental illness. He has been arrested several times for assault on military officers and was per mantle put away for the death of a marine two years ago."
"Print it off so I can give it to Mac." Flack said.
Not even an hour after Flack gave the information to Mac the NYPD and the FBI were outside the latest address for Aaron Mars, since he had moved from the apartment building he made the call in two months ago. Once Agent Hotchner gave the all clear the busted in to the house.
The first floor was clear and the second one was called cleared until a door was found locked from the inside. SSA D. Morgan busted the door down the man inside the room tried running for the window but Morgan got to him first. He handed the man, now clearly identified as Aaron Mars since his face could be seen over to Mac Taylor.
-integration room-
"Aaron we have done what you told us to and solved your brothers case. Now tell us where the bomb is."
"I want to know who killed my brother first."
"Tell us where the bomb is!" Mac said.
"I want to know who killed my brother first." Aaron repeated.
"The upper east side and that's all I am saying until you tell me who killed my brother."
"He was killed by Lukas Black a man who is now serving life in sing sing for the death of a Marine two years ago." Mac said. "Now can I have the address of the bomb site?" Mac asked pushing a pen and pad of paper over to Aaron.
Aaron took both items and quickly wrote down the address before pushing both items back over to Mac. Mac took the address a updated the ones that needed to know about it.
-bomb-location-
Twenty minutes later they were searching an old station house being sold at auction in three days.
When the bomb wad found SSA D. Morgan walked up to the bomb and disarmed it with Garcia's (she looked up a bomb that had been made of a similar materials) help. The members of both teams breathed a sigh of relief when the bomb squad showed up and rendered the bomb useless.
-McRory's-Pub-and-Grill-
"…and so Danny and I were chasing after this suspect we both jump off this docking area Danny lands perfectly on the ground and I land in a trash can." Flack said finishing a story causing several members of both teams laugh.
"Foods here." Jo said.
The team from the FBI's BAU and a few from the NYPD crime lab had come to the pub to eat a meal and celebrate the lives they saved that day by stoping a bomber but they both knew that there would be more work in the morning So a little fun before then was in order.
"Okay Mac it's your turn to tell an embarrassing chase story. We all have them so I know you got one." Jo said passing a bowl on to the next person.
"I can't think of anything." Mac said.
"Oh come on Mac." Several people called.
"Fine there was one time when I…"
