A/N: Should be studying but my brain is full of Articles I-VII of the Constitution and the first eight amendments. We are getting hit with a ton of snow right now in the good old Midwest. Anyway, I do not own. Thanks for the reading and the reviewing.

JJ gathered the team in the conference room to go over her idea of who the unsub could be and also get a final go-over for her press conference. It was almost 3:30 so she needed to work fast if they were going to make the 5 o'clock news with the press conference.

"The unsub is leaving trinkets right? Some are charms, some just random items left behind of theirs, a button, etc. Do we have any surveillance from the robberies?" JJ asked the team.

"I have one but I've gone through a million times Jayj. I can't see the man's face at all. All I know is they are about 5'4" and maybe about 120 pounds. They are wearing baggy pants and a baggy sweatshirt so it's hard to tell much about their body type even," Garcia explained.

"What if our unsub isn't a man? I know it's rare, but why would a man have bracelet charms? With that estimated height and weight, well, it doesn't narrow it down for a woman, that's the average weight for that height in a thin woman, but it would narrow down our suspect pool," JJ suggested to her team.

"It's highly rare for a woman to be bank robber, but there was a case recently, they called themselves the Barbie Bandits. Nobody died, but they robbed a bank in large sunglasses while laughing. They initially said it was a joke but they were convicted. JJ I think you may be on to something," Reid answered back with his ever so useful knowledge.

"I want to give a press conference in time to make the 5 o'clock news. If I say that we are looking for a man, it would do one of two things. It would either piss this person off worse and send them on a robbing, killing spree, or it will cause them to call our tip-line giving us more information about who they are," JJ explained. She knew from previous cases how this worked.

"Most likely if our unsub is a woman, and they are leaving trinkets behind, they are most likely seeking recognization. Women are more of the type to seek recognization for the work they have done, I mean, in most cases. Men who are serial killers are a different story. The only problem is that this unsub is most likely on the brink of a psychopathic break. JJ, make sure to include in your press conference a warning for all the local businesses in D.C. and banks. Have them make sure they look out for a slim male wearing baggy black clothing. This will catch the unsub off guard and it will also warn the businesses to profile people to keep safe," Hotch explained. He knew that his respected media liaison may just have something here that could break the case.

"You got it. I need to go make a few changes around with the wording to make sure we emphasize gender. I'll have D.C. news here by 5 so we can get this on the 5 o'clock news," JJ explained before leaving the conference room to finish up her press conference.

"Ok, we need to look at this a little differently everyone. If JJ is right this changes everything we've been looking at and I think she's definitely on to something. Let's go through all the businesses that have been robbed and see if we missed some pattern," Rossi instructed the rest of the team. Emily was happy that the team had given JJ a chance to tell what she felt was the truth and that they were actually considering it as an option. Emily wouldn't have thought that an armed robber who had an escalating amount of victims would be a woman but the trinkets screamed woman. They had to find something that had caused this woman to snap. Then an idea hit Emily.

"Garcia can you pull employment records for each of these places and see if we have anyone who has worked at a multiple number of them?" Emily asked.

Garcia gave Emily an odd look.

"What if this unsub is a former employee of this place? We already know that the profile fits a person who would not be able to hold down a job for very long, most likely moving from place to place because of being terminated. What if that's the connection and the breaking point? Can you do it?" Emily asked.

"Yes ma'am. It'll take me a little bit with all these places but I'll see what I can get for you," Garcia replied back as she went back to her office to get started.

Five o'clock came around and it was time for JJ to give her press conference. She made sure to emphasize that the BAU thought they were looking for a man in his early to late 20's, 5'4" and slim, and a man who wore black baggy clothing a lot. The number for the tip-line popped up on the screen as JJ gave her press conference and once she was done it was just a waiting game until someone called the tip-line or Garcia had a cross reference.

A half an hour later, Garcia came storming up to the bullpen.

"Any hits on the tip-line my lovelies?" she asked.

"Not yet. Got anything for us Pen?" JJ asked as she rubbed her neck. It was beginning to be one very long first day back to work.

"I do angel, I do. Aarika Francis has worked at 7 out of the 12 places robbed. I know that's not all of them but the last 5 places, her boyfriend, who has a record, has worked at. She recently defaulted on all her student loans and filed for bankruptcy and was denied. She has a four year old boy with said boyfriend and the trinkets are from a bracelet called Pandora, I googled it," Garcia explained right as the tip-line rang. Rossi immediately picked it up and the unsub began to talk with a distorted voice.

"You say that I am a man? But how can you be sure of this? I'm not doing this because I want to. He needs a mom, he needs a mom who can provide for him. No man would do this and leave trinkets behind," the unsub began to talk.

"Aarika? How's your baby boy, he's four right? What's he going to think when his mommy goes to prison?" Rossi added with malice in his voice.

"He'll know that his mother loved him and did this for him. He'll understand. His father will take care of him," the unsub replied before hanging up.

"Garcia could you get a trap and trace on that?" Hotch asked.

"Disposable cell phone sorry. It wasn't long enough to triangulate but I do however have an address for said Aarika Padilla, I'll send it to your GPS right now," Garcia replied and with a few strokes of the keyboard the address for the suspect showed up on their phones.

"Ok, we have a child involved in this. JJ, I know you are not cleared for this but we need you. Here's the plan, you will stay back behind the line of command. The rest of us will do a hard entry if needed. Soft entry isn't necessary on this one, she is dangerous but robbery is her thing. Once we find the boy and the mom and boyfriend are restrained JJ we will call for you and you can enter. I want you in full body armor and wrap those ribs just in case. I can't have you getting hurt but we need you for this one Jayj. Are you ok with this?" Hotch knew he couldn't do this without JJ. Emily was good with kids but she would be needed to restrain the unsub and her boyfriend, knowing full well that the boyfriend knew about the robberies and was most likely dangerous as well. JJ gulped. She hadn't expected to be back in the field so soon but she knew the team needed her.

"Yes sir. Ready as I'll ever be I guess," JJ answered back. The team headed for the locker rooms to get ready and JJ enlisted in the help of Emily to wrap her ribs in ace bandage. Her soft touch sent shivers down her spine.

"Em?"

"Yeah Jayj?"

"I'm nervous. Not just about me, but about you. Please don't do anything stupid or anything to get hurt," JJ expressed her fear.

"I'll be ok. How about you though? Are you sure you're ready for this? You can tell Hotch that you aren't ready, he can't make you go out there sweetie," Emily asked with the worry evident in her question.

"Ready? Not really, but this kid will need me once he sees you guys arrest his mom and dad. It's not like I'm going to be storming in there with you, I'll be behind the SWAT team the entire time. It'll be ok. Before we go, when we're done here and get to go home, let's just do takeout tonight baby. If the team asks to go out I don't think I want to. This day has been the most exhausting first day back I have ever experienced," JJ laughed as she rubbed her sore neck and felt her headache.

"No problem. I think someone's going to need a massage tonight. Let's go," Emily said as they were off to go find the unsub and put a stop to all the robberies.
