"A group of this type needs to have a powerful leader," Rossi said thoughtfully as the team began building their profile of Hotch's kidnappers. "A dominant Alpha male."

"Or female," Reid hurried to point out. "Although uncommon, they have been documented on several occasions. Most recently - "

"For them to have been in existence for this length of time, they must have formed some sort of personal bond – Military maybe?" JJ interrupted.

"Or they view themselves as being some sort of paramilitary group," Morgan suggested. "Sort of an 'Us against the rest of the world' type of mentality."

"And they have to have been getting business from several other sources," he added. "I am sure they can't survive on one 'family' abduction every six months."

"What do they do during the intervening months?" Lewis wondered. "Do they have legitimate jobs?"

"Something stable with health insurance and benefits?" Garcia joked.

"Sorry," she quickly apologized. "It's just that all this seriousness is starting to get to me."

"We understand, Baby Girl," Morgan quickly assured her. "If you hadn't said it, one of us would have."

"It's late and everyone is getting tired," JJ observed. "Maybe it's time to begin thinking about taking a break and getting some rest."

Rossi's cell phone rang and he glanced at the screen. "How about putting a hold on that until after I take this call?" he suggested as he stood up and walked out of the conference room.

"And, it appears I have a message as well," Garcia checked her computer. "OH!"

"What is it?" Morgan asked.

"The Baltimore Police have found the missing van," Garcia reported, reading off her screen. "Apparently, it was parked in a lot designated for the use of the patrons of one of the marinas. They want to know if we want to process it or if they should get started on it."

"My first thought is to let them check it out," Morgan replied. "With the experience this group has, I doubt if there will be anything to find."

"I would agree with that," Reid added. "Although, we do need to check the area around where it was found."

"Tomorrow, in the daylight, would be better," Morgan was thinking aloud. "We won't be able to see anything in the dark."

"You're right about that," Rossi told him as he walked back into the room.

"Jack has checked with his sources," he told the group. "And, after speaking with them it is his opinion that it will be extremely difficult to identify abductions of this kind in the Caribbean islands. It seems that many of the men there are fishermen, either by trade or by hobby. They go out to sea to fish and when they don't return it is generally assumed that they have drowned. Search parties do go out, but their boat is usually found when it finally floats up onto a beach sometime later and, quite frequently, their body is never found."

"As for children and women, sometimes the same applies – The just go out fishing and never come back. And, sometimes when they disappear, it is assumed that they have just moved to another island. Apparently families are pretty spread out in some areas."

"However," he continued. "Jack and his team will be keeping their eyes and ears open and, if they do find something, Monty will contact Garcia."

"Fishing," Reid suddenly proclaimed. "Fishing! That's the answer!"

"What's the question?" Lewis asked.

"We were wondering what this group does when it isn't kidnapping people," Reid filled in the blanks. "What if they are commercial fishermen?"

"Or if they run a charter fishing service?" JJ suggested. "They could easily move up and down the coast, as well as between the islands, without anyone questioning it."

"And, the captain of the boat would have to exercise a strong control over his crew," Morgan added. "There's our Alpha male."

"So, I start looking at fishing boats," Garcia picked up her laptop.

"Tomorrow morning is time enough, Kitten," Rossi told her. "Right now, I think we all need some rest so we can clear our heads."

"He's right, first thing tomorrow morning will be fine," Morgan seconded Rossi. He then looked over at JJ.

"First thing tomorrow morning you and I will be driving over to Baltimore to check the location where the van was found," he told her. "And, afterwards, we will be paying a visit to the Baltimore Police Department."

"While I will be back at the State Department," Rossi announced as he stood up to leave. "Someone over there has got to know something."

"And you two will be helping me with computer searches," Garcia told Reid and Lewis. "Somewhere there has to be a registry of fishing boats that we can plunder to find this band of pirates."
