A/N: Thank you all for the initial loves as in favorite or following alerts. And the reviews that are greatly appreciated.

Matt is not in his Marine uniform in this story. The Marine corporal in the first part of this chapter is simply showing his respect to Matt.

Chapter 2

Two hours later, Matt pulled the Bureau SUV into the parking area at the Quantico airfield. He and Dave got out of the front seats with their briefcases. Agent Anderson got out of the back seat. Matt handed him the keys as the back hatch opened. A Marine corporal ran up to the SUV. "I've got the luggage sirs," he smiled, pulling out Matt and Dave's bags. Anderson grabbed their go bags.

"Thank you Corporal," Matt said. Dave winked at Anderson. They walked to the jet.

"Brian," Matt said. "Garcia and Lynch have their hands full covering four teams. You and Vertega are their back up. Sometimes, we just need a simple Google search."

"Got it sir," Anderson said. Matt nodded at Dave as the jet with Morgan, Emily and Tara taxied towards the runway.

Dave looked at Anderson. "How's the Academy intern working out with you and Jesse?"

Anderson smiled. "She's driven." Matt and Dave smiled.

"Just like someone else we know," Matt said, rubbing Anderson's shoulder. "We'll get you there Brian."

Anderson smiled. "I know sir. I appreciate you sharing the details of your case with me. I look forward to helping you if I can." Anderson put Matt and Dave's go bags into the luggage compartment. The corporal put in their luggage.

"Actually sirs, I've proposed an idea to Monty since Garrett's team is on the ground but sleeping right now. He likes the idea and thinks he can get it done." Matt and Dave looked at him. "I'm the conduit to the techs. Monty said he could pound out a program in less than an hour that will tell me which tech is free to take a phone call as well as how much computer volume they are working on at that time. It should help balance the load for them and get better results for the teams."

"Sounds like a great plan Brian," Rossi smiled.

"Thanks Brian," Matt said. "That's huge. Let each team know when Monty gets it implemented including Cooper's and Garrett's. Great thinking Brian," Matt smiled. "Just remember Monty is tasked to Jack's team first."

"Thank you sir and understood," Anderson said. "I'll only use Monty if he's available, given the time change. It should be up and running within two hours or less. Good luck sirs," Anderson smiled at Matt and Dave, shaking their hands.

"Brian, as lead team support agent, please just remember to chase Monty's ass home for some sleep as well," Matt said. "Hell, all of them. And get your evening and overnight relief agents briefed on that as well. And then get your ass home when your shift ends to your pregnant wife and daughter."

Rossi smiled at Anderson. "If he doesn't make that an order, I will."

"Thank you both," Anderson smiled. Matt nodded him back to the Bureau SUV with a smile.

Matt looked at the corporal. "You part of the crew getting us rolling?

"Yes sir," he smiled.

"Let's get it done," Matt smiled.

"Aye, aye sir," the corporal smiled back.

Matt and Dave went up the jet steps. Matt, like always, stepped into the cockpit door. "Lose the coin toss Angie?" Matt smiled. Dave stuck his head in as well.

"Hell no. I like running with you Big Dogs," Angie snarked back. She introduced her co-pilot Jace Peterson. Matt and Dave shook his hand. Matt looked at her. "We're waiting on taxi clearance," Angie smiled. Jace, with his headset on, gave them a thumbs up.

"Let's roll," Matt smiled with him and Dave moving into the cabin. Fifteen minutes later, they were airborne towards the west.

After clearing ten thousand feet, Matt and Dave pulled out their tablets. They spent the next hour and a half analyzing the details of the case and sharing notes.

Angie came over the intercom. "Heads up guys. We're about fifteen minutes away from hitting the Rockie Mountain chop." There was always a bit of rough air going over the Rockies.

Matt reached up and hit the intercom button to the cockpit. "Thanks Angie." He hit the button again and smiled at Dave. "You can go first, getting rid of your morning coffee."

"You saying I'm old?" Dave fired back.

"You? No. Your over abused kidneys? Yes," Matt smiled.

"Like your Irish kidneys aren't," Dave snarked, getting out of his seat.

"They're beer trained," Matt snarked back.

"Shuddup," Dave growled, heading to the back of the plane. Matt laughed to himself.

When Dave came out of the restroom, Matt headed down the aisle. Dave reached into the dorm- sized fridge and grabbed a bottle of water for himself. "Grab one for me please," Matt said, heading into the restroom.

When Matt sat down, he buckled up and looked at Dave. "Already done Matthew," Dave smiled.

Matt pushed the intercom button. "Cockpit," Jace said.

"Jace, forget the seatbelt announcement. We're already buckled in."

"Thanks Cob," Jace said. "Cockpit out."

As the jet started to shake a bit from the turbulence starting to go over the Rockies, Dave looked at Matt. "How are you going to play this once we're on the ground?"

Matt looked at him. "We got invited in through the backdoor. That's where we enter. I want to stay under this police chief's radar as long as possible."

Dave smiled. "I agree. And I think we can work to our advantage John's relationship with the detective."

Matt smiled at Dave. "That will be my first suggestion to John when we land and I call him. Let's see if he can covertly get that detective to John's police station to talk with us." He looked at Rossi. "Dave, I keep tripping over something."

"What's that Matt?"

"Don't pedophiles usually have a previous relationship with their victims? Or at least had contact with them?"

"That's usually the case Matt," Dave answered.

"Then we need to find a connection to these victims."

Dave looked at Cob. "Matthew, do you also know that we might need a new body to find that connection?"

Matt shook his head. "I'm well aware Dave and don't like it any more than you. Let's find something so we don't get a fourth and do it old school so we don't bother the techs."

"Trained you well Jedi," Dave softly smiled.

Just then, Angie came over the intercom. "Hey Cob. Our normal flying time at this point to Sky Harbor airport is still an hour and a half. Minimum; and that's just landing. Forget the fifteen minutes more taxiing. Jace found an opening to let us open up this bird more and get there in just over an hour."

"I'm sensing a but her Angie," Matt replied.

"We're a westbound jet going against easterly currents. We'll bounce around a bit."

"As long it's not storm turbulence," Rossi said, "I'm good."

"You heard the man Angie," Matt smiled. "We're still buckled up."

"Cockpit out." Matt and Dave returned to their tablets with commitment albeit during a rough ride. They discussed the minimal DNA evidence found on the second boy and all of the victims having an anti-mortem trauma to their foreheads.

Ten minutes later, Matt shook his head at Dave. "They all go to the same school Dave. That's got to be our connection."

Dave shook his head. "How did we miss this?"

"Dave look. They were in different areas of the school, under different programs. The school labels each of those programs as a different school in that same middle school building," Matt said, hitting a speed dial on his cellphone, putting it on speaker.

"Agent Vertega."

"Jesse, tell me Brian is out the door to his family," Matt said.

"He is sir," Vertega said.

"And Monty's program is up and running and you can connect me to the available tech."

"Roger that sir. Hold for Monty."

"Monty?" Dave asked at Matt.

Matt shook his head. "Monty at your service Cob. How can I help?"

"Judas priest Monty, why are you not sleeping?"

"Sir, I know you need a short answer. Remember the set up Pen had when you all were after the Dirty Dozen?"

"Got it," Matt said.

"Anderson and his team got that set up for all of us to take a break and get some sleep trading off shifts. I got five hours and I'm ready to rock and roll." Dave and Matt fed him their parameters.

One hour and twenty minutes later, Angie and Jace parked the jet at the private terminal at Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix. Dave and Matt had their briefcases packed up and headed up the aisle. Jace came out of the cockpit to open the jet's door. "Thanks Jace," Dave said. "That was huge." Jace noticed Matt already on his cellphone. Matt smiled at Jace and stuck his head in the cockpit. "Thanks Angie." She waved at him. Dave and Matt went down the jet steps.

Dave waved at the two FBI agents waiting for them with a Bureau SUV. "Some help guys," Dave said as Angie opened the luggage compartment door.

"Blackwolf," Matt heard.

"John, its Matt. Dave and I just landed in Phoenix. We need a huge favor from you."

"Name it," Blackwolf said. Matt laid out the favor. "Consider it done."

"See you in less than hour John," Matt said as Dave and the other agents got their luggage and go bags into the back of the SUV. "Once we get rolling, I'll have Dave call you and explain."

"Thanks Cob," Blackwolf said.

Matt and Dave shook their heads less than hour later at the expansion of the casino as they pulled up to the tribal police department building, which had expanded as well. They got their weapons out of their go bags and blew into the police station on the Apache reservation with their briefcases and go bags. They waved at the personnel around the office as Sergeant Tall Bear pointed them into a conference room. Matt and Dave walked in and dropped their go bags, setting their briefcases in conference room chairs. "Hi John," Matt smiled shaking his hand.

"Hey Matt," John said. "Dave, good to see you again," shaking his hand. "Thanks for coming out." John waved his hand at the other person in the room. "This is Detective Jose Vasquez, like you asked." Blackwolf made the quick introductions. Matt and Dave shook his hand.

"Detective, thank you for coming out. We understand your situation with your boss. We were invited into this case through the backdoor. Until necessary, we're going to operate using that backdoor. No offense," Matt said.

"None taken," Vasquez said. "I'm just glad you are here."

"To that end, five hours on the jet gave Dave and me a lot of time to sort through everything. I'm sorry gentlemen," Matt continued. "We're going to make this short and sweet. We've got a preliminary profile for you."

"That is if you don't mind if we dive right in," Dave added.

"Dive away," Vasquez said.
