The following morning the team were once again assembled and were looking through the evidence from the scene of the recent bank robbery, along with the footage from the security feeds in the station.
'OK. Morgan, Reid. What did you get from the security footage?' began Hotch.
'The Unsub is male, between the ages of 25 and 45. He was able to hold his body in a horizontal position and remain undetected' started Morgan.
'That move is called a 'front lever'. It requires a high degree of back and core strength. An accomplished gymnast would be able to pull themselves into the horizontal position from a dead hang. The Unsub is focused on physical fitness and has the discipline required to easily perform that manoeuvre' continued Reid.
'He knew exactly which terminal to go to in order to download the case files. He also hid rather than confront 2 cops' added Morgan. 'And apart from leaving the laptop with Reid in the Deadshot case, the Unsub has continued to avoid confronting and/ or injuring anyone in law enforcement. He either has a contact in the police department or has been inside this precinct before.'
'And that may be why he has chosen these bank robbers as his latest target. Until the most recent robbery the thieves have left everyone unharmed. However, this time they shot an off-duty police officer. If the Unsub has a connection with the police department as we have profiled, this act may be why they've caught his attention' suggested Reid.
'Could the unsub be a cop?' asked Rossi.
'Unlikely' replied Morgan. 'If he was a police officer or a member of law enforcement he could have legitimately gotten access to the robbery case files. There would have been no need to risk detention by taking the files in the manner that he did.'
'What do we know about the robbery?' asked Hotch, turning towards JJ and Rossi.
'The detectives assigned to the case were still compiling evidence. Footage from the bank robbery shows that apart from the injured police officer, there were 23 customers and employees inside the bank at the time of the robbery – 9 men and 14 women. But when we compared it to footage from the external cameras, only 22 people came out after the robbery – 9 men and 13 women' added JJ.
'They put in a ringer' concluded Morgan. 'Do we have an ID on the woman?'
'Unfortunately not. She kept her head down and facing away from the security cameras. According to one of the other customers a woman who was beside Officer Washington at the time of the robbery tried to dissuade him from drawing his firearm. That's what caught the attention of one of the thieves.'
'So the shooting wasn't planned. Based on their previous crimes they hit 2/3 banks in every city before moving on. Do we have any indication of what bank they are targeting next?' asked Hotch.
'None. We are going to head to Glades Memorial to check in on Officer Washington and to see if he can provide any more information on the robbers' replied Rossi.
'Actually the injured officer is no longer at Glades Memorial' interjected Garcia. At the surprised looks she received the rest of the team she continued. 'He was transferred to Starling General late yesterday afternoon. His full medical bills have been covered for the duration of his stay.'
'By who?' queried Hotch.
'By someone who seems to keep popping up in relation to these cases. Mr. Oliver Queen' finished Garcia.
This news resulted in surprised looks from the entire team.
