During the time that Percy Weasley was "exiled" from his family I refuse to believe that man who was raised with such good morals pulls a 180 and goes against everything he knows and then about three years later he pulls another 180 at the last moment. I have always wanted to do a crossover between harry potter and criminal minds where percy is a part of the original team. So i'm writing this because there isn't one out there yet.
Seattle, washington
It was a rainy morning in Seattle, Washington when a small red haired woman was using her computer at work to chat with someone online. A photo of an orange datsun Z is uploaded onto her computer.
Z4SALE says:
new paint, New Tires. Not bad, huh?
HEATHER says:
Why so low on the price?
Z4SALE says:
Moving. Must sell ASAP. You up for a test drive?
Thunder crashes as a red umbrella is pulled up to reveal Heather Woodland, she looks anxious for the test drive she is about to go on.
The datsun z pulls up and honks. " wow' heather says. A hooded man comes out of the driver side and runs around the car then opens the door for her. "Hey, I'm Heather," she says as she steps into the car.
The scene changes and shows Heather is now driving the car. She's talking shop about the car with the hooded man. Oddly, he is still wearing his hood even though we are in the car. Heather ponders this for a moment but then seems to push the thought to the back of her mind when he asks her if she wants to have a look under the hood.
With the hood held in the mysterious man's hand and heather looking into the car she states that she is impressed but needs to return to the office as her lunch break has probably ended. The switch sides and the man is driving as Heather gives him directions back to the office in which she works at.
"So it's just right up here," heather points to the building that he needs to drop her off at. "Oops you missed it, that's okay" she states but in a shaky voice. The man keeps driving. She started to worry because the car was getting further and further from her destination. she tries to open the door but the pin is missing from the lock, she can't get out. She starts screaming and that's when the unidentified man hits her with his elbow, and she is knocked unconscious
Washington D.C
The scene changes to a man and his wife going over baby names for their unborn son.
"How about Andrew? It's greek for valiant." the woman says
" let's call him Sergio" the man fires back as he is seen building a crib
"Please tell me you're kidding"
"Butch?"
"How about Donald?"
"Hans."
"No! Wait wait… ok Gideon." she says with a smirk on her face
"Not a chance" he retorts with finality
"It's perfect, Gideon Hotchner"
"No"
"yes"
"No"
"Yes"
The phone rings and the woman seems disappointed as the man walks over to a fax machine where the missing poster for heather woodland is slowly being printed out
The scene changes to a club where a tall dark and handsome man is seen surrounded by women as he quizzes them on cases that the BAU have consulted on. Soon his phone rings and he answers.
"Yeah. this is Morgan."
The scene changes once more to the FBI academy where SSA gideon is teaching a class on violent crime, but he's interrupted by two young men both tall one with brownish hair who is wearing a sweater and khaki pants the other has flaming red hair, glasses and a suit. The man with the Sweater points to an FBI file and beckons Gideon out of the room.
"They're calling him the seattle strangler, four victims in four months." the red haired man speak with a english accent. " he keeps them alive for 7 days and then strangles them using a handle as a crank"
"Allowing him to control the suffocation rate" Gideon observes.
"To prolong it?" the brown haired man asks.
"To enjoy it." gideon says with a dark look on his face.
"Physical evidence is non existent. There are no tangible leads." the red haired man chimes in attempting to keep them on track. "Now another girl has gone missing"
Agent hotchner walks into the room "you're coming with us this time gideon"
Agent Gideon looks up in relative shock. After 6 months of not being in the field he had grown accustomed to consulting on cases from the safety of his offices. But now he was going back to the world with his team. Where the monsters were.
"Before she disappeared she downloaded an email with a virus attached, after a short period of time the screen was wiped and only left this" hotch reveals a picture of a webpage that had words filling the whole window.
"For heaven's sake catch me before I kill more. I cannot control myself," read the man with red hair.
"Percy, he can read," said agent morgan.
"Sorry, he never keeps them for more than 7 day. That means we have less than 36 hours to find her '' Percy says he looks concerned but determined to find this woman.
"They want you back on the saddle, are you ready?" morgan says
"Medical leave is over boss." doctor spencer reid says
"The order came straight from the director" agent hotchner says
As they are walking toward a jet on a runway, a short haired woman is seen next to agent hotchner. She's asking him to see if Gideon is fit to return back to the field. Dismissing the woman, hotchner boards the plane
"The first victim was melissa kirsch, stab wound strangulation" percy read from the file"
"Wait back up, he stabbed her then strangled her to finish her off?" morgan asks
"Other way around" gideon adds
"Why do you think he used a belt witht e second murder?" reid questioned
"Strangulation with your bare hands is actually pretty hard. He probably tried but then found that it took too long and then," percy begins
"Stabbed her instead" Reid finishes for him.
"Then thinks that since cleaning up the blood would take to long, the next murder he brings a belt to speed up the process" percy concluded
The team lands and walks into the seattle field office
"This is special agent gideon, socal agent morgan, agent reid," hitchner begins
"Doctor reid." gideon corrects
"Sorry, doctor Reid, and special agent Weasley who we stole from across the pond" Hotchner jokes.
Soon they're in an office going over theories.
"Listen we have way too many conflicting behavior for a complete profile. There is no way that we can deliver one by 4 o'clock Morgan says pacing around the room.
"Autopsy reports says that he puts layers upon layers of duct tape over the victim's eye, why would you do that if you are just going to murder the girl anyway?"percy questions
Spencer is spinning in his chair in deep thought, nothing about this murder felt rught it was something that he couldnt put his finger on but it stood ouot glaringy obviou to anybody who were to look at the case.
"Tell them we're ready to give the profile." gideon says as he leaves the room percy looks around in shock even though he hasn't been apartment of the team for very long he still knows that they didn't have enough fo a complete profile of this unsub
"Hotch are you even listening to this man." morgan rants "we've got an unsub to catch and a unit chief in the middle of a nervous breakdown!"
'The don't call the nervous breakdowns anymore" gideon walks in but then walks back out
They called major depressive episodes" reid says
"I know." Morgan is annoyed. Percy watches the exchange with amusement in his eyes. Sometimes he can't understand why he decided to take such a weary job when his life was already considered pretty drab, but it was moments like this that made it worth it.
Soon it's nighttime, a woman walks up to a house and knocks on the door, an old woman answers looking curiously at the younger lady at the door.
"Hi, my name is Elle Greenaway," she said "I'm house-sitting just down the street and when I got home the door was wide open and the lights weren't working. I was wondering if anyone could come to look inside with me?"
"Richard!" the old woman yells upstairs. A skinny blonde-haired man walks down the stairs and greets Elle. Together they walk down the street towards to house that Elle is house-sitting for
"Are you sure you locked it when you left?" Richard asked in a condescending tone, almost as if he couldn't actually believe that this woman was telling the truth.
"Yes, could you go in first?" Elle asked. Richard gave her a skeptical look, "please?" she begged. Richard walked into the house and turned on the flashlight that he brought with him looking around as he walked into the living room.
"Hello!" Richard shouted into the darkness.
Almost immediately after the FBI swat team swarmed in from different locations of the house, one knocked Richard down onto the couch. "FBI!" agent Greenaway shouted. "Stay down!"
After reading Richard his rights they took him to the kitchen of his house. The BAU enters the house along with teams of crime scene investigators.
"There's no sign that the girl is here," Percy speaks to Gideon as they walk towards the kitchen. "We can arrest him for probable cause, but we can't hold him for more than 48 hours" Percy curses himself believing that they've jumped the gun on this situation. "Look Slessman's been at the top of the suspect list."
"Is the mother" Gideon nodded towards an old woman being comforted while she was crying.
"Grandmother, the mother died in a fire when Slessman turned thirteen" agent Greenaway explained
"Probably not the only fire in his childhood," Gideon observed.
"Before the son of sam murder the killer set a multitude of fires," Reid said.
"Exactly how much is a multitude?" Morgan asked almost as if he didn't want the answer.
"According to his diary, 1,400 and" Reid trailed off trying to remember the number.
"88 '' Percy said absentmindedly while he looked at things around the house.
"Luring him out was your idea right Greenaway?" Gideon asked.
"Elle," she corrected, "I don't send SWAT into a house with children."
"Hotch says your background is sex offender cases what can you tell us?"
"These last four murders show that this offender is an anger-excitation rapist," Elle began. He'll keep the victim for a couple of days, might even record or videotape them. All to keep relieving his fantasy."
"Are you ok with hotch being in the interview?" Gideon asked
"I'd like him to actually lead," Elle said.
Percy went upstairs and looked around with disgust. How could a man go around and rape and kill four women, and just go back to his house as if nothing had happened? He wondered if people like this existed in the wizarding world.
"Look guys there is something wrong about this" Percy said
"What he's our guy I know it" morgan returned
"But listen, the bodies all had defensive wounds." Percy started
"So?" Reid interrupted.
"So, Richard doesn't have a mark on him. How could he have killed those girls and not have a single mark on him?" Percy concluded
"Maybe he has a partner," Morgan chimed in.
"Maybe. All I know is that there is definitely something more to this case than just Slessman. I can feel it" Percy finished
"What are you, physic man?" Morgan joked.
Percy just awkwardly chuckled and thought back to divination classes that he took third-year god he hated those. Now he wishes it was as simple as staring into a crystal ball for answers.
Morgan and Percy entered the room that was considered to be Slessman's "you're right man. Something's not right about this."
"I'll say this is a boy's room, not a man's" Percy retorted looking around. He spotted two cops looking at what seemed to be a muggle computer. Percy had no idea how to use one, while he could get by in the office using paper he knew that he needed to figure out how to use it soon.
"Password," one of the cops said
"No wait," morgan said but it was too late and the computer shut off "that as a fake password"
"Password?" Percy questioned looking and feeling extremely confused.
"Yeah you know like to get into a computer." morgan look at Percy like he was two people
Percy just shrugged and looked at the CD collection that Slessman had. It was fascinating that people could put music onto those. He soon left to go up to the attic to see what Reid had found.
"Many British people are weird, it's almost like you're from the dark ages man," Morgan said then looked at a cop. "I heard him call a pen a quill once."
The cops just laughed and went back to trying to log onto the computer.
Upstairs in the attic Reid, Percy, Gideon, and Hotch are gathered around a board game that Reid is studying very closely. Elle walks into the room.\
"What's that?" she queries
"A board game called go," Reid answered. "It's considered one of hardest games in the world"
"Chairman Mao had all of his generals learn how to play it." Gideon provided
"You know, this could actually be very good. From the looks of it he seems to be playing himself." Reid began "Go has been considered to be a very psychologically revealing game"
"What does it reveal about Slessman?" asked Percy
"That he's an extreme Aggressor when playing" Reid answered.
They all looked at each other and that's when Percy reached up to grab a book that looked particularly well read. As he opened the book newspaper clippings fell out, Percy reached down to grab them and saw that they were headlines of the bombing the agent Gideon narrowly escaped. He showed them to Gideon.
"I want to talk to him." Gideon said with a fire in his eyes.
In the kitchen Richard Slessman sat at the table with his arms cuffed behind his back. When Gideon sat down he smirked and looked at the newspaper clipping that was slid across the table into his view.
"You know they never tell you the true facts about CPR," Richard began, "that outside of a hospital, it only works around seven percent of the time." Gideon just stared at him. "So even after you broke his ribs and you felt life leave his body, you still kept going, didn't you? Why was that?"
"Where's the girl?" gideon asked
"Who?"
"Heather Woodland"
"Heather Woodland? Isn't that the girl who went missing a couple of days ago?" Richard said with a smirk.
Gideon looked around and saw various decorations that all had the same theme, good little boys will be rewarded. "Get him out of here" he said "NOW!"
Gideon walked outside to get some air. Hotch walked towards him "he said isn't she the girl who went missing"
"If she was dead he would have said wasn't" Hotch said
"We still have time to find her. I just don't know how much Gideon said and with that he walked back inside "I want you to go with him and find out everything you can, we now know that he has a partner."
Meanwhile at the FBI Seattle field office Reid, Elle, and Hotch walked down a flight of stairs.
"So wait, he sure has a partner?" Elle asked
"Yes and while Slessman won't talk, there is someone who might know who his partner is" Hotch said. He walked forward to the old woman who was sitting in a chair "Mrs. Slessman I'm sorry to have caused all this trouble. We now think that Rihard isn't a part of this but we think that it could have been one of his friends."
"Oh, well, Richard didn't have many friends" Mrs. slessman said
"Please think back it would have been someone bigger that richard someone who would be more controlling than he is"
"well , there was this one young man, i think his name was Charlie." mrs. Slessman said, " oh, but I can't remember his last name. I'm terribly sorry."
"That's ok you've been a great help" Hotch said as he walked back towards Reid and Elle.
"We need to find all known associates of Slesssman that have the name charles or charlie.
Slessman house
"Hey baby girl, I need you to work some magic for me," Morgan said. Percy looked over and smirked as he had gotten used to the odd banter that Morgan and the spunky technical analyst had whenever he called her.
"Well you've reached the office of supreme genius, is my red haired brit with you?" garcia said
"I'm right here garcia," percy said
"God your accent is just amazing" she said "it's like a fine wine, never lose it my love"
"Hey garcia let's stay on track" morgan chuckled. "I've got this password system that i need cracking"
"Sure what's the name?"
"Deadbolt Defense"
"Sorry man, that's like the best password defense system out there you're gonna have to be really good at guessing the password in order to get past the system."
"I thought I was calling the office of supreme genius?" morgan joked
"Well you've been rerouted to the office too freaking bad." Garcia fired back. And with that Morgan hung up. Percy began laughing to himself.
"I don't know what you're laughing about," morgan said "i think you need to start going through all those CDs in order to figure out what the passcode is. Look for the most used CD"
Percy looked perplexed, of course he knew what a cd was and he knew that the most played one would probably have the password somewhere on it. But for the life of him he didn't know what a worn out Cd would look like. After all he has never used one in his life before.
"Man, I don't know where we found you. Worn out means a lot of scratches on the back dude" morgan said exasperated.
"Oh ok," Percy said. And with that he got to work
Morgan got to work with guessing the password, the problem was that he only had six tries before the hard drive was wiped.
Seattle Field Office
"Charlie is probably Charles Linder," Elle said. "He shared a cell with Slessman, and he received a dishonorable charge from the military"
"He's bigger, tougher, could have protected Slessman while in prison"
"Making Slessman feels like he owed him"
"Where were they incarcerated?"
"Carcadia, less than a mile from here"
"Let's go"
Slessman House
Morgan closes a medicine cabinet, "my name is Richard Slessman and i have trouble sleeping."
Seattle Field Office
"Do you have an address on Linder?" Hotch asked Reid as he was walking towards him
"It's coming right now" Reid replied
"Well I guess we can rule him out as a suspect" Hotch said as he looked at the paper that Reid held in his hands.
Carcadia Prison
"Is there anyone who can tell us more about Slessman?" gideon asked the Warden
"Tim Vogal, that's him over there. He's a guard" the warden said
"That was Hotch, Linder's dead" Elle said
Sorry you guys had to come down for nothing" Vogle said as he was walking through the halls
"Oh it's ok" gideon said as he started looking around "could you tell me more about Linder?"
"Linder? Yeah he was ok i mean scrawny little guy like that you have to help him all the time" Vogel said. The whole while they were walking through door after door with Vogel unlocking them. They eyes of Elle and Gideon were looking down at his keys
"Scrawny?" Gideon said "Linder was six foot four. Did you mean Slessman?"
"Oh yeah? I guess." Vogel said,
Parking Lot of Carcadia
"He defended him, he stood up for him, made Slessman feel like he owed him." Gideon said as he was furiously walking towards the car so that he could call Hotch and tell him what was happening.
"Did you see the keys?" Elle asked as she was struggling to keep up with him
Vogel's keys also had his car keys on them and on those keys were a Z for the car that he owned, a Datsun Z.
They called hotch as they began following the bright orange datsun Z that sped out of the parking lot. "It's vogel you need to find out everything about the partnership and fast"
Slessman House
Percy sat on a bed surrounded by hundreds of opened CDs cases, spinning a CD in his hands. He sighed "god, i have no idea what the Bloody hell i'm doing" he flopped onto the bed, looked around and spotted the phone that garcia and morgan pitched to buy him because "he was out of touch" he dialed the only number that he knew and waited while it rang
"Ahh my fancy favorite brit what can i do for you." gracia answered
"Hello love, could you tell me what i can use to play a CD?' percy asked attempting to sound as casual as possible
"Oh, my sweet man it's like you were raised amish. But because you called me love, I will help you" gracia said " okay so there are three ways that you can play CD you can use a portable CD player it looks like a larger CD with headphones attached to it, then you can either use your car or a sound system. The sound system will be really hard to miss because there are speakers set up right next to it. Lastly you can use your computer, laptops usually have CD players built into them."
"Ok thank you very much love" percy said. He looked around and found the only case that didn't have a CD. he quickly ran upstairs to the attic where Morgan was attempting to crack the password. " i think i have something" he said carrying the metallica CD case in his hands
"man we already worked the CD angle and found nothing"
"Yes but get this, the only empty CD case is this one by the band named Metallica" percy said "Gracia told me that some people have CD players in their personal computers. Maybe The Cd is in there because that's the one he listens to the most."
Morgan used a paperclip that was lying around to open the CD player on the side of the laptop sure enough, the CD for the case slide right out and they both looked at each other "ok i'm an insomnia that has trouble getting to sleep at night so i listen to metallica to help me go to sleep at night, what songs speaks to me the most?"
Percy looked at the back of the case that had the song listing on it "enter sandman" he replied morgan typed it into the box and sure enough it worked percy took one look at the screen and said "call Hotch now"
"Hotch Heather is alive" morgan said
"How do you know?"
"Cause we're looking right at her"
"Alright I need to find out where he's holding her" Hotch said " what is that thing you always ask Garcia to do?"
"To work me a little magic," Morgan said with a grin.
Percy paced around the room before he looked at the video that was streaming to the laptop. There was something off about the video. "Hey, did you see that?"
"See what?" morgan asked
"That right there, the light it's swaying almost like the earth is moving." percy said
"Not the earth man, the ocean."
They called hotch again with morgan explaining the logistics of how the boat can only be docked at a port or something and not out in the middle of the ocean. They waited to see what would happen
They called hotch again with Morgan explaining the logistics of how the boat can only be docked at a port or something and not out in the middle of the ocean. They waited to see what would happen.
About two hours later they received a call from Hotch saying that they had the unsub in custody and they would be boarding the plane soon, so Percy pulled Morgan aside.
"Listen, I know that you don't truly trust Gideon but after what he did today i would put my life in his hands," Percy started. "I suggest you do the same. The team would work better when we all trust each other"
