"What's the last one?"
"Page 30, line 7, word 6."
"What do we have?"
Spencer slid the paper over to Hotch.
"The path to the end began at his start.
To find her, first calm her long broken heart.
She sits in a window with secrets from her knight.
Is is adventure that keeps him out of her sight?"
"Okay so what the hell does it mean?" Morgan grunted.
Gideon took the page and pinned it up. "We know her is Rebecca Bryant."
"That's the easy part." Morgan rolled his eyes. "But what broke her heart,who is her knight and what start are we looking for. His birth, his first adventure."
"Maybe, the start is the start of the kidnapping. How he find her, how he captured her." Reid suggested.
"There were no witnesses, no reports of screams or signs of struggle."
"She was lured to him. How?"
"She was 18, in college. Maybe an Internet stalker. Someone pretending to be another student."
"Car trouble ruse?"
"The unsub has used other folks for his dirty work, maybe he paid a fellow student to bring her to him."
"We need to know more about Rebecca Bryant and the initial investigation."
"I can have a copy of the --"
"No. In person." Gideon cut JJ off in mid suggestion. "Hotch, you, Morgan and JJ head to Boston. Take to Rebecca's family, to the detectives that handled the case. Check the evidence, anything and everything."
"Okay." Hotch nodded.
"Reid and I will go back to the book and the medieval stories. See if there are any possible clues."
Hotch, Morgan and JJ scooped up their notes and headed out.
"What should I do?" Garcia asked.
"I want everything we have on the two dead men. Work histories, financial records, passport hits, travel records."
"I'm on it."
"Also, we need a record of all private air fields and private hangers at nearby airports. Get the locations and the manifests of all flights to and from over the last month. Also, we need the same for Boston with flight records for the month before Rebecca vanished."
"No problem."
"We should probably start looking for possible locations." Spencer suggested. "Build a preliminary list we can narrow down as we find clues."
"Can you handle all that?"
Garcia grinned. "Cake."
"Look for remote areas including islands. If he's seeing himself as the Fisher King then he's probably somewhere near water in a place that wouldn't be easy to find unless you knew where it was."
"With reasonable access to a private air strip or helicopter pad, right?"
Reid nodded.
"I"m on it." Garcia, clearly pleased to have a task to complete, practically skipped from the room, leaving Gideon and Spencer alone.
