It looked like the serial killer community was on vacation because the team spent most of the time filling out paperwork and helping out teams who needed the assistance. It was Thursday afternoon and they were all sitting in the bullpen pretending to work.
Derek Morgan: One more day and then we're home free.
Emily Prentiss: Don't jinx it Morgan.
DM: Nah, not this week. (He smiled)
SR: Nowadays a jinx is a superstition used for bringing bad luck when talking about a future event with too much confidence but in the olden days, it referred to a curse causing bad luck to a certain person or the people around them.
EP: Why do you even know that Reid?
SR: I found the whole concept of the jinx interesting so I researched it.
DM: Only you, Reid. So do you believe in it all?
SR: Well it is fascinating but the science behind it is flawed.
EP: It's not about the science, Reid.
SR: It's always about the science.
Just then Reid's phone started ringing.
DM: Ooh, middle of the week booty call?
SR: ... It's Jack. (He said shaking his head at his friend before getting up)
```Phone Call```
J: Spencer?
SR: Yes it's me, Jack.
J: Are you busy right now?
SR: No, I've finished all my work.
J: If you're not busy tomorrow night, can you please come over?
SR: Did you ask your dad because I'm pretty sure your dad wants to spend some time alone with you.
J: I'll ask him but I'm sure he won't mind.
SR: So, may I know why you want me to come over?
J: I need your help with a project we got at school today.
SR: When is it due?
J: Next week Friday.
SR: Okay but only if your dad says it's okay and we don't get a case.
J: Thanks Spence, see you.
SR: Good bye, Jack.
...
Just as he was walking back into the bullpen he saw Hotch coming out of his office.
AH: We got a case. (He says making his way to the Round Table room)
EP: You just had to jinx it didn't you, Morgan.
DM: Sorry.
...
They all went to the Round Table room where Garcia and Hotch briefed them on the case. They found three drown victims in Wichita Kansas.
SR: How can we be sure that they're all connected?
JJ: They're all seventeen.
SR: But they don't go to the same school.
David Rossi: All three of them come from rich families.
AH: Garcia?
Penelope Garcia: Yes sir, at first they were all thought to be suicides but they found out that they all belong to the same country club and that's not all they have in common.
DM: What else?
PG: I know we're not suppose to blame the victims but the three of them make it their mission to ruin everyone's lives that weren't as rich as they were.
DM: So someone could have killed them in revenge?
AH: That is out best guess.
EP: But if all three of them are dead then I'm sure that our unsub will go underground and we won't be able to find him.
PG: Well that's where the problem is. No one actually knows how many people are in this group theirs.
SR: They were most definitely the leaders and that might be why the unsub went after them first but he could be after the rest now.
AH: That's why they called us in, it's time sensitive. Wheels up in thirty.
...
```Phone Call````
J: Hi dad.
AH: Hi buddy. Look...
J: I was going to tell you but I wanted to know what Spencer said first.
AH: Spencer? What are you talking about?
J: Uh... nothing.
AH: Mm-hm, we got a case and we're leaving soon.
J: No.
AH: I'm sorry buddy.
J: It's okay, I know it's your job.
AH: Thanks, enjoy your time at your Aunt Jessica's. I love you.
J: I love you too dad, stay safe.
AH: I will.
J: Tell Spencer too okay.
AH: I will, now I need to go.
J: Good bye.
...
Everyone was seated as the jet took off and Hotch and Reid were sitting next to each other.
AH: Jack said to tell you to stay safe.
SR: Thank you. (He smiled)
...
PG: Hello my good people. I have more info on our band of bullies. They didn't only target teenagers, they tormented anyone that didn't live the life they did, from people working for them to their own teachers.
EP: The modern day bully.
PG: Now the Wichita PD were able to identify two others that were in the same group as the other three but they refuse to talk because and I quote "We're not talking to anyone that doesn't deserve out time"
JJ: Wow.
PG: Yep, that's all I have for now but I'll keep digging.
AH: They're our top priority. We need to make sure that they're safe as well as anyone else in their group.
DM: I think Rossi is our best shot at getting them to open up.
DR: We'll see when we get there.
AH: Good. Reid you and JJ go to the medical examiners, Morgan and Prentiss to the last dump site and Dave and I will go to the station.
...
~~~Medical Examiner~~~
SR: So what can you tell us about the bodies, doctor?
ME: Well for one, they didn't drown. All three of them died from blunt force trauma to the head before they were put in the water.
JJ: So everyone thought that they committed suicide.
SR: Were there any drugs or tranquilisers on their systems?
ME: No, I believe that they were wide awake when they were struck.
SR: Okay, thank you.
JJ: Uh... I thought that only three bodies were found in the water.
ME: Yes you're right, why?
JJ: Whose body is that then?
ME: That's Melissa Edwards, high school student who committed suicide a few days ago.
JJ: Oh okay, thanks for the help.
...
The two of them got back to the station at the same time that Morgan and Prentiss did. They talked to the teens that are believed to be a part of the group and they started talking because they realised that it must be serious if the FBI is involved.
They sent officers to get the rest of the group while they went to work trying to figure out who the unsub is.
...
Reid was sitting there looking between the white board and the files in front of him trying to figure things out.
DM: I can see the wheels turning in your head kid, what's up?
SR: I'm just thinking.
AH: And we can help.
SR: Well, Garcia said that these kids went after anyone who wasn't in the same social class as they were. The girl JJ and I saw in the morgue yesterday might be connected. Now she really committed suicide but it happened a day before the three murders so it could have been the stressor.
EP: There's something else isn't there?
SR: It's just a theory.
DR: We like theories, especially if it comes from our resident genius.
SR: I don't... I don't think we should be looking for a teenager as our unsub. The power needed for those blows to the head isn't something usually found in a teen body even that of a jock, I did the math. This group went after adults too, so what if we're dealing with an adult whose life they ruined.
JJ: They probably had some sort of pent up anger that they couldn't control anymore, especially if after that girl committed suicide if she's connected to all of this.
AH: Alright, the first thing we need to do is find out if her suicide was connected. Morgan you and Reid find out which school she went to and go there. Prentiss and I will go to her parents' house and I'll get Garcia to track any of her online activity. Dave, you and JJ made them open up the first time so talk to them again. They need to start talking now.
