A/N: My apologies for the delay, but life kind of said Happy New Year and slapped me upside the head. I'm hoping to update more frequently in the upcoming weeks. Hope you all enjoyed the previous naughty chapter

Thank you for all the reviews, favs, alerts and heck just for reading.

Jane waited while Emily parked and looked up at the sign for the coffee shop. It was a tiny Internet café in DuPont circle, the meeting was going to be upstairs in a small meeting room they had. Brushing off her pants she looked up as Emily called her name.

"You found parking that quick?"

"Right around the corner"

"Good…so, are you ready? I have to admit I'm a little nervous, I mean we're doing this so that we can perform this weekend. Perform Emily…"looking at her Jane continued, "You're okay with this?"

"If it'll get Reggie off the street then I'm fine with it. I'm not comfortable with the idea of playing the part of a king but how hard can it be really?"

"I guess we'll find out won't we" walking in they both headed upstairs armed with the information they had gotten from Jordan. She had let them know what was expected and the commitment they would be making to the king community once they took the stage.

Turning to Emily, "Hey, how long is this meeting supposed to be?"

"About two hours." Glancing at her watch, "we should be done by 11, 11:30."

Walking into the small meeting room, they saw a couple of the kings who had performed over the weekend as well as a few new faces.

"Hey! You made it" Their host was sitting by the windows at one end of the room and got up to greet them. Introductions were made all around and after waiting a few more minutes, the discussion turned to different reasons that folks did drag.

"Anyone who wants to perform with us is welcome in our troupe but we do have ground rules, given the different reasons that folks choose to do this." Smiling at them, she continued, "I'm not trying to preach but with what's been going on in the past weeks and with the attack on Jordan and recent murder of Debra, I want to make sure we refocus ourselves on why we're doing this."

Their host, looked around at all of them to make sure she had their attention. "First and foremost, we respect each other, and do not criticize anyone's drag interpretation. Second, ask before you touch. Some of you know we've had a problem with a person or two who don't keep their hands to themselves."

That comment had Emily and Jane exchanging glances as they continued to listen.

"Boundaries folks, remember, we don't want anyone acting inappropriately without permission, and third, please lets try to stick with the theme of the show when we have one." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Excuse me" raising a hand, Jane tried to get her attention, "is there a theme for this weekend?"

"Well, that's up to all of you, we have 12 slots available, but there are 14 here who want to perform. Now, we haven't done an 80's show in some time and I know that idea was tossed around last month. What do you all think? Everyone for the 80's themed show?" A show of hands confirmed a majority was fine with the 80's theme.

"Okay, now onto the slots available. Fourteen for twelve slots, well?"

"Jane and I can perform together if that's alright." Emily looked around at the other women, who ranged in age from about eighteen to forty.

"Well that works! And I performed last weekend so I can MC and bow out, that makes twelve. Is everyone good with that?" The excited nods and smiles at Jane and Emily confirmed it.

"Alright then so with that out of the way, lets discuss some of what we're here for, to learn how to present as a king, how to dress, apply facial hair and picking a song." Handing out booklets she sat down, "and for those of you who will be doing this for the first time, we are all here to answer any questions you have."

Jane stifled a yawn as she sat next to Emily in the front seat. The meeting had ended early; at just before eleven, and now sitting next to Emily she wondered what she was thinking.

"Penny for your thoughts"

"Hmmm…oh sorry, just absorbing everything we learned tonight, trying to plan our next steps in my head. I hate to admit it but I'm not thrilled that we were able to confirm that Reggie was the person being referred to as being inappropriate."

Sitting up, "Yeah, I must admit that worried me a bit and apparently that it happened a couple of months ago."

"A trigger definitely, if not the trigger." Sighing deeply she glanced at Jane before speaking, "I have to go through with this date." It was a statement, not a question and Jane looked over at her.

"We can't tie her to anything but the assaults so far. Even the shoes I spotted in the video are a stretch."

"Well, at least we got a last name finally." One of the women had spoken with Reggie the last time she had attended a meeting had actually gotten her full name. "Regina Jarvis." Emily had texted Garcia and JJ to let them know and Emily knew Pen would leave no stone unturned in searching this woman's background.

"So, are we headed to the station or your place?"

"The station, Hotch wanted a briefing and with this new information we need to make sure we're all clear about our next steps. JJ and Maura will meet us there." Looking over at Jane she was glad to see her relaxed again. "You feeling better about coming tonight?"

"Yes actually, thank you, and thanks for not letting me back out"

The rumbling in Jane's startled them both and interrupted Emily's response. Jane smiled "Mind if we pick something up on the way?"

Emily chuckled and just shook her head, "I swear how do you stay so thin eating as much as you do?"

"I run hot." With a grin on her face she was satisfied when she heard Emily's answering laughter.

"You just can't help yourself can you?"

"Nope."

Morgan stood behind Garcia as her fingers flew across the keyboard. He had gone to pick her up at Jordan's after receiving the news about their suspect's name. Garcia hadn't initially wanted to come but Jordan had insisted she go do her job. The detail watching them had made sure everything was locked up before Morgan had picked her up.

"So uhm…how are you guys getting along?" Morgan knew he had interrupted their time together, but now with a last name, hopefully they would have something soon to put an end to this case, allowing his favorite lady some quality time with her new squeeze.

"Huh? Oh…we're uh…we're getting along just fine." Looking up momentarily she saw him grin as she stammered and couldn't stop the blush that spread across her cheeks.

"Just fine huh? Morgan couldn't help but tease her.

"Yes Derek, just fine…" turning back to the monitor Garcia tried to focus on the task at hand and made a point of ignoring him. "Here we go, Regina Jarvis, DC Drivers License and DC address. Work history starts three years ago but according to her license she's twenty eight years old?" Turning to Morgan, "How is that possible? Did she not work at all?" Without waiting for an answer she continued researching.

Walking over to the conference room, Morgan briefed Hotch and Detective Alvarado on the address info Garcia provided before going back.

JJ walked in with Maura, followed by Reid. "Do we have anything yet?"

"She's working on it. We do have an address though." Nodding his head toward Hotch, "We're getting a team together to check it out.

"I'm going."

"So are we." Emily and Jane walked in, heading toward their respective partners. Grasping hands reassuringly Emily faced Morgan, "We're going."

"No Prentiss, you're not" Hotch walked in followed by Detective Alvarado.

"What are you saying Hotch of course I'm…"

"No Emily. Morgan, you Reid and Rossi are going with some Metro officers to check out the address. In case we don't find her, the plan remains Prentiss, I can't allow you to go out and compromise that, not now."

Looking at Emily apologetically, Morgan walked off, followed by Reid and Rossi.

"What about me Hotch?" JJ glanced at Emily before addressing him.

"You've all been to the clubs at this point, so you're a package deal. By now this woman knows that we're looking for her at least for the assault in the hospital, but we need to tie her to the homicides."

"Guys? I think I found out why there's no work history before three years ago." The tone of Garcia's voice brought them all back over to her.

"What do you have Garcia?"

"Well sir, I couldn't find any work history but I was able to track her through her social security number and medical records."

"So much for HIPAA" Jane's joke fell flat as Maura shushed her.

"Let her finish Jane"

"Well ladies and gentleman I think I found out why Reggie is so strong…Regina used to be Reginald Jarvis, with Homeland Security, Immigration to be exact. Three…no almost four years ago he started the process for gender reassignment" Looking up expectantly she shook her head at some of the blank looks. "Sex change"

"Holy crap! That's how she took me out…wait, you said started."

"Very good my sexy Italian. According to the information I was able to track down. The reassignment was never finished because it was denied by her medical plan and shortly thereafter she was demoted."

"Wait, what did she do for Immigration?" Emily could feel the pieces falling into place as she started to understand what might have triggered Reggie.

"He, was a supervising agent and after applying for medical leave, he was demoted to a line officer. Coming back as Regina before the reassignment could be completed. And…she, Regna, filed an EEO complaint citing the reason she had been demoted was because he was now a she." Garcia looked at them smugly. The information she had pulled had been restricted but she didn't wait for permission to hack in, she was thinking about Jordan.

"So…this kind of makes sense now, Garcia when did she file the complaint?"

"Two years ago…it was denied six months ago. Oh…"

"Oh what Penelope?" Maura was still processing the information but caught Garcia's hesitation.

"Our second victim, she was the woman who took Reggie's supervisory position." Looking at the others she could see the worry in their faces.

"We have multiple triggers." JJ shook her head at the realization. But something still nagged at her. "How did she know where Jordan was?"

"What?" Emily looked at JJ.

"The hospital information was never released to the public, so how did she know?"

Jane's eyes grew wide with the realization, "You have a leak, or at least metro does."

Hotch met her eyes and pulled out his cell. "Morgan, I doubt you're going to find her there, but make sure to come right back here when you've checked we have some knew information. Make sure Detective Alvarado comes with you." Hanging up he focused his attention on Garcia. "Family, friends, I want to know everyone Reginald and Regina may know. Run Metro employees and cross check with the information you have." Looking at the others, he could see the stress in their faces but they had work to do.

"Get some food in here, its going to be a long night."

Reggie waited for her friend to come out of the bathroom. They had met during one of her counseling sessions when she was preparing for her gender reassignment and had struck up a friendship. Neither had successfully completed their gender reassignments, psych and money issues arising for them both. As a metro police officer, her friend had been ostracized when her sexual orientation came into question and had been taken off the streets, citing liability concerns. Bitter, they had become fast friends and occasional lovers, often accompanying each other to drag shows. She had tried to be the voice of reason after Reggie had lost it the first time but had been a willing participant for the second.

They fed off each other, often egging the other on at clubs, but Reggie's increasingly erratic behavior was placing a strain on their friendship.

"You can't keep this up you know." Jeri took a seat and watched as Reggie prowled her living room. "Eventually they are going to realize that you had help finding that Jordan chick, then its my ass on the line"

"Yeah well they deserved it, all of them."

Nodding in agreement, Jeri smiled, she had loved watching Reggie work, her rage was beautiful but where before they would rejoice in their exploits with their lovemaking, Jordan's survival had put a stop to it. Reggie was fascinated with Jordan and now this rage against that blonde he was with that night was getting the best of her.

"Lets walk away Reggie. You don't need to go on that date Friday and besides if you really want Jordan you have to find a way into her building and I don't think that's going to happen."

"I need to know don't you understand? Why did Jordan survive? He paid attention to me, he liked me…" the plea in Reggie's voice was pitiful.

"He turned you down. He didn't want you Reggie" Her voice was soothing.

"But he let me grab him, just like Emily…they're different, I need to know how, why…"

Jeri shook her head. Reggie wasn't listening. They were going to have to find someplace else to go, because once they made the connection they would be all over her place. Her mother's house was empty and only a couple of blocks away. It belonged to her anyway but she hated the memories of that place, and the beatings she got from her father for being a sissy and a fagot. Taking a deep breath she tried to tamp down the anger that was building and focused on Reggie. There was no dissuading her so the best she could do was help her and pray that they got away.

So you've been introduced to Reggie's friend, what do you think? I'd love to know, please feel free to review and comment. Thanks for reading!

Next updates will be Fear and All Its Beauty and A Loving Vengeful Heart.
