'You the FBI?' A local detective asked as they got to the new crime scene.

'Derek Morgan. Spencer Reid, Jennifer Jareau, and section chief Strauss' Morgan introduced.

'Vic Wolynski, Milwaukee PD' Vic introduced.

'You worked the Jeffrey Dahmer case' Reid said.

'16 years ago' Vic said.

'I've studied it' Reid explained.

'And you remember my name?' Vic asked.

'He remembers everything' JJ said.

'It's it what he does' Morgan added.

'What can you tell us?' Straus asked.

'Uh, local merchant noticed her a few hours ago. Uh, but considering he didn't see her when he first came to work, uh, we figure she was dumped there between 7:50 and 8:05. Same window as the others' Vic explained.

'All the bodies were found in this area, right?' Morgan asked.

'Uh, Wauwatosa is an upper-middle-class suburb approximately 15 minutes from here. All the women were abducted from there in the afternoon and turned up here in the morning 2 days later' Vic explained.

'All this foot traffic and no one saw anything' JJ commented.

'Well, he, wraps up the bodies, uh, loosely so they're not immediately recognizable. Eventually the, uh, wrapping comes open. My guess is he, uh, has a van or a truck, something he can back up so he's shielded when he makes the drop' Vic explained.

'No prints on whatever he wraps them in?' Morgan asked.

'There have been traces of paint and wood stain, but most of it's just common stuff you'd get at any hardware store' Vic explained as they walked over to the body.

'He's trying to demean them, putting them out like trash' Reid commented.

'This guy might work or live around here. Gets off on the reaction to his... handiwork' Morgan added.

'What can you tell us about the victim?' JJ asked.

'She was taken from a supermarket. Her husband says that most days she would have been picking up her son at school, but he was spending the afternoon at a friend's' Vic explained.

'This is your fifth victim, right?' Straus asked.

'Yes' Vic said.

'You should have called us sooner' Straus said shocking JJ, Morgan and Reid.

'I thought we had a handle on it' Vic said.

'Apparently not' Straus snapped.

'Ma'am' JJ said and see took Straus aside.

'We need to work with these detectives' JJ said carefully.

'I'm sorry?' Straus asked rudely.

'We don't generally criticize them. It just really doesn't get us anything' JJ explained.

'Are you saying it wouldn't be helpful if he had contacted us sooner?' Straus asked.

'Well, of course. It's always, you know, the sooner the better' JJ said shocked.

'Right. And Agent Jareau... don't question me again' Straus snapped, shocking JJ. Morgan sighed before getting a call from Hotch. He walked away from the crime scene and answered.

'Hey' Morgan said.

'How's it going?' Hotch asked.

'Well, Strauss just offended the lead detective 45 seconds into her first crime scene' Morgan explained.

'I'm not surprised' Hotch said.

'This isn't about to get any better, is it?' Morgan asked.

'I doubt it. Morgan, listen, I've been looking at the file. Milwaukee schools start at 8:10 and they get out at 3:10. Every abduction has taken place within 15 minutes of school getting out. And each body was dumped within 15 minutes of the first bell. We could easily be looking at somebody who works in the school system' Hotch explained.

'Ok. Thanks, man' Morgan said.

'Any idea how's he's getting control of these women? Is he blitzing them or coercing them?' Hotch asked.

'So far we're coming up blank' Morgan said.

'Ok. Keep me posted' Hotch said hanging up.

…..

"Hey. What do we know?" Vic said walking into the local police station with the team.

"Woman's name is Claire Thompson. Husbands been trying to reach her on the cell phone. When she didn't pick up, he drove to the department store. Car's in the parking lot, but she's not inside" A local cop explained to the group.

"Is that the husband?" JJ asked looking over a man sitting worried at the desk.

"Yeah" The cop said making Morgan turn to JJ.

"JJ, Take Strauss with you" Morgan said as JJ and Strauss with you.

"I had the department store uplink the security footage to your analyst in Quantico" The local cop explained.

"Perfect. My desk is over here" Vic explained as they walked through the local station. Morgan pulled out his phone and called Garcia.

"Garcia, baby girl, please tell me something I want to hear" Morgan said into the phone.

"You're a statuesque god of sculpted chocolate thunder" Garcia said grinning.

"How about something I don't already know?" Morgan asked laughing.

"I have a sweet tooth?" Garcia asked coyly.

"Did you locate the missing girl on the security footage?" Morgan asked getting back to business.

"On it. It's coming your way in 5,4,3,2..." Garcia said before sending the video.

"I got it" Morgan said leaning over the desk and bringing up the video footage.

"Keep me on speaker, will you?" Garcia said as Morgan put her on speaker as Strauss and JJ walked over.

"She doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar" Reid commented trying to keep his mind focused on the case and not on Lilith leaving the team.

"Look. Who's the kid?" Morgan asked.

"Does Claire Thompson have a son?" Vic asked looking at JJ.

"No. 2-year-old daughter" JJ explained.

"It looks like the kid's lost" Reid commented as they watched the missing woman walk off with the child.

"Garcia, this all you got?" Morgan asked.

"That's it. They turned down a hallway without no security camera and we lose them" Garcia explained as the footage stopped.

"I'll get a list of missing kids, see if we can make out a resemblance to any of them" Vic said.

"Oh, damn" Morgan said sighing.

"What?" Reid asked confused.

"Something Hotch said. All the abductions and disposals have been timed around school. We thought the unsub might work in the system. What if this guy's actually using his own son to lure his victims?" Morgan asked making the team sigh. They gathered the local cops together to give the profile.

"Detective Wolynski told us you're trying to single out trucks and vans. That's smart. The unsub is dumping his victims in the business district, so I'd agree with you; he's probably not driving something that would stand out. He may even have some type of company logo on the side of his vehicle as well" Morgan explained leaning on a chair.

"We know that he abducts the women in Wauwatosa and dumps their bodies somewhere in the third ward. Most unsubs keep their area of control- where they kill their victims- triangulated between the two points" Reid explained looking at the map behind them.

"Which means that the unsub probably lives in Wauwatosa or the third ward. Somewhere in that area. And the people who live there know the unsub" Morgan added.

"There's no sexual component to these crimes, which means it's more about the unsub making a point. He's cutting their hearts out" Reid commented.

"It might just be that this is the sickest way the unsub knows to disfigure the women and... throw them out like trash. We can't really know" Morgan explained.

"The two most important questions to ask ourselves are: What is this guy doing with these women for 48 hours? And why is he willing to use his own son to abduct them?" Reid asked rhetorically.

"And if he is truly using his own son, then it's likely that he has what we call borderline personality disorder. Now, borderlines- they think that all relationships revolve entirely around them. When they set their mind to something, absolute- there is no gray area" Morgan explained.

"It would also manifest in a way that would be visible to people around the unsub. Intense bouts of anger and depression, problems drinking. He would also be highly sensitive to rejection" Reid added.

"And one last thing. It is not easy to crack clean into breastbone. You're dealing with a guy who works with his hands and he's used to hard labour. At the very least, he's not afraid to get dirty" Morgan finished, dismissing the local cops.
