Chapter 9

It has been four days since the team arrived in Boston. There were two more murders at a local lake. No witnesses were at the scene.

"The last two murders were more sadistic. He stabbed both victims 12 times." Tara says.

"He is becoming more disorganized. He is unable to control his anger any more." Reid states.

"We know he has no connection to the victim," JJ says. "It's about the environment. The unsub must have suffered some sort of trauma near a lake."

"This most likely happened during his childhood," Rossi chimes in. "We said that the bag was his signature. What if he suffered some sort of torture that involved suffocation?"

"Garcia, search for any police records that involve crimes near lakes or streams in the state. It had to happen roughly thirty years ago," Emily says.

"I have a long list here. I need something else to lower it down, Garcia says.

"We said that the Unsub was tortured during his childhood," Alvez said. "What if it was on a school trip or at a camp. Bullying can be pretty brutal."

Garcia starts typing. "The agent is right. I see a lot of records in regards to bullying. Some of them are just awful."

"Search for any schools or camps near a lake in search of similar records," Emily says.

"Yes, mam. I will get back to you guys in a few." Garcia hangs up.

The team starts gathering in order to find out where the unsub will target next. Emily receives a phone call. She answers.

"Prentiss," she says with a dominant tone.

"Sheesh. You sound like a scary dictator," Dani replies.

Emily gives a slight chuckle. She steps outside the office and talks to Dani. "Hey, honey. Sorry. I didn't see it was you. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Everything is fine. I just wanted to tell you that I am going to spend the night at Emma's," Dani told Emily. "If you let me."

"Sure thing, as long as you don't get in any trouble."

"Ha. Trouble is my middle name," Dani says. Emily shakes her head with a grin. "How's the case?"

"We are getting there. We are missing a few pieces of the puzzle."

"I'm sure you guys will figure it out," Dani says. "Alright agent, I will leave you so you can catch the guy."

"Alright. Talk to you later."

"Bye."

Emily heads back to the office. The team gathers around the intercom in order to hear Garcia's findings.

"So I searched for camps near lakes and check this out," she starts. "About thirty years ago, there was a camp in Lake Attitash. A boy named James. Camp records show that a group of boys took him to the lake where they were drowning him. They placed a bag over his head while dumping his head inside the water. James' parents tried to press charges, but there wasn't sufficient evidence."

"That sounds like him alright," Emily says. "Any last known location?"

"Yes. I have both housing and workplace. I sent it to you guys already." Garcia responds.

"Thank you, Garcia," Emily says, turning off the intercom. "Alright. JJ, Reid, and Matt, you guys go and search at his workplace. Rossi, Alvez, and I will head to his home. Tara, you will talk to James' parents. Officers will be going with you."

The team heads out to their designated location. Rossi is driving the car while Emily receives a call from Garcia.

"Guys, we have a problem. There was a report of a kidnap. Jeffree Flower was taken by force while at a parking lot in his job," she said. "He was one of the people who bullied William."

"Okay. Now he has a personal connection with the victim," Rossi says. "He is most likely going to the same lake where the camp used to be located." Rossi starts redirecting his route to the lake. Once they arrive, the three of them get out of the car and start walking through a trail. As they are walking, they hear someone screaming for help. The team starts heading towards the direction of the screams. When they arrive, they see James holding Jeffree, who is tied up with a plastic bag over his face. He is soaked in water.

"James Davis, FBI!" Alvez stated.

"Please. Help me," begged Jeffree to the agents, coughing out his words.

"Shut Up!" Exclaimed William. He grabs Jeffree into a headlock position, pointing the knife at his throat.

"James put the knife down and let him go," Rossi said. "This is not the way to punish him."

"You have no idea how it was like being tortured by this son of a bitch!" James yelled. "He made me suffer and didn't get punished!"

"But if you do this, the only person who is going to get punished is you." Replied Rossi. "You don't want that. It's not fair that you will end up in jail for a person like this." He glances at Jeffree and looks back at James. "You already have what you wanted. After this, he will be scarred for life. Now let him go. Do not stoop to his level."

James looks down at Jeffree, who is trembling in fear. James drops the knife and puts his hands up. Rossi and Emily go up to James and arrest him. Alvez unties Jeffree, taking off the bag that was over his head. Paramedics arrive at the scene to check on Jeffree. The team leaves, heading back to the station.

Everyone packed up their stuff and headed off to the Jet. The team was glad that the case was over. Rossi wanted a drink with Krystall, Alvez missed Roxy, Tara wanted to visit her father while Reid wanted to check up on his mother. JJ and Matt were getting prepared for an avalanche of hugs they were going to receive from their kids. Emily was feeling slightly sad knowing that Dani wasn't going to be home when she arrived. She thought it was only fair. After all, she did leave Dani alone for almost a week. She just couldn't wait for Dani to return.
