Hello, everyone! I hope you're doing well. Here we are talking to the families. Why is this unsub so interested in young boys? Let's find out.

FIRST HOUSE:

Hotch and Prentiss arrived at the first house. It was quite and a few miles from Carthage. Hotch knocked on the door. A woman in her early 40s opened the door, "May I help you?"

"I'm Special Agent Hotchner. This is Special Agent Prentiss. We're from the FBI and we would like to ask some questions about your son, Mrs. Woods." Hotch explained.

She looked sad, but moved to the side to let them in. They walked inside and everyone gathered in the living room. She asked, "What would you like to know?"

"What kind of person was he?" Prentiss wondered.

"Ben was a sweet boy, but he was also a teenager. He had curiosity, just like most boys his age." she explained.

"What was he curious about?" Hotch asked.

"Love, war, alcohol, everything. In fact, he told me that he would major in History when he got to college." she told him.

"Mrs. Woods, did he, by any chance, go to a barn party on the night of his murder?" Prentiss asked.

Mrs. Woods looked away in thought, then burst into tears, "I told him never to go to those parties. Nothing but trouble happens there."

Prentiss gave her a Kleenix, "He didn't tell you?"

"He told me he was going to the library." Mrs. Woods answered.

Hotch looked at Prentiss and she nodded. They walked out of the house.

THE SUV:

"So he lied to his mother to go to the barn party. Classic teenager." Prentiss said.

They reached the second house.

SECOND HOUSE

Hotch knocked on the door. A man in his 50s answered it, "May I help you?"

"We're from the FBI. I'm Special Agent Hotch. This is Special Agent Prentiss. We would like to answer some questions about your son, Mr. Turner." Hotch explained.

Mr. Turner looked sad, but he let them in and let them sit the dining room. Hotch asked, "What kind of person was Allen?"

"He was a good boy. He was well liked by everyone and wasn't too shabby with girls either." Mr. Turner explained.

"Did he by any chance go to a barn party or some other party?" Prentiss asked.

"Yes, but before he left, I told him to come back in one piece and sober. Unfortunately, neither of the two happened." Mr. Turner told her.

"What did he plan to do after he graduated?" Hotch wondered.

"He was planning on going to MSU and become a doctor. He was accepted via football scholarship." Mr. Turner explained.

THE SUV:

"I honestly don't see the appeal in barn parties." Prentiss stated.

"This is a small town. Apparently until now, nothing big really happens here." Hotch explained.

"I'm starting to see why Tiffany left." Prentiss replied.

THIRD HOUSE:

"I loved my godson. He was an extreme introvert. I wanted him to be a little more out there." Mrs. Crane told them.

"Did you encourage Steven to go to the barn parties?" Hotch asked.

"Now that I didn't encourage. I know what happens at barn parties. Alcohol, loud music, and an extreme hangover in the morning. I was a teenager here. Not much has changed." she explained.

"How did he get there?" Prentiss asked.

"One of the local boys drove him there. Hank Shipman, I believe." she said.

Prentiss called Penelope, "Garcia, I need everything on a Hank Shipman."

"Got you. I'm delivering the information now." Penelope said.

So, who is Hank? The interrogation is in the next chapter! What did you think? Please review!
