"Because he is our unsub" Hotch replied. Reyes looked defeated. He had run that possibility through his head, but he had hoped it wasn't true. Apparently he wasn't that lucky. He shook his head.
"I don't know. Maria and I haven't seen him in a few days, but that's not uncommon for him. He just leaves without telling us where he is going" Reyes said. Dave looked around. Everyone was frustrated that the detective wasn't even concerned about his son's whereabouts.
"What are some of his normal hangouts? Where does he spend a lot of his time?" Emily asked. She realized how much of a time crunch they were under.
"He almost always stayed in his room. He wouldn't go anywhere not even to his friend's houses" Reyes responded. Just as Emily was about to ask where his friends lived, a call went out over the radio.
"Attention all units. Be on the lookout for three children, ages 6, 7, and 9. Two females and one male. They were last seen on 52nd Street and Southern Ave. They were on their way home from school. More information to follow" the dispatcher relayed. The team froze. The munchkins.
"Let's go" Reyes and Hotch yelled as they jogged to the cars.
"I think I might know where he'd take them" Reyes yelled to Hotch. After everyone was piled in to the cars, they sped down the road, lights and sirens blaring.

Justin sat there looking at the three children. They made the perfect muchkins. He hoped they behaved better than the other characters. He didn't want to have to hurt them, but he would if they didn't stop crying soon he would have to resort to killing them. He didn't want to; after all he did have a sister similar in age to these kids. He didn't want to be a monster. He didn't want to hurt anyone, but they wouldn't go along with his plan. And for that, they had to die.

"I can't believe it" Reyes muttered again as he made another quick turn. He didn't want his son, his only son, to hurt those kids. Those were someone else's son and daughters. He could only imagine what those parents felt. He could only imagine what his son was doing to those kids. He flipped off the sirens and lights as they got closer, the cars behind him doing the same. They pulled up in front of an abandoned warehouse and got out. They strapped their Kevlar on and pulled out their guns before entering the building. They cleared the first floor and divided into two teams to finish clearing the building. Emily, Aaron, Dave, and Reyes took the downstairs. The rest headed upstairs minus JJ who stayed outside by orders of Dave to protect the baby. She didn't like it, but she couldn't change anything about it once Aaron seconded the motion.
Dave rounded a corner and standing in front of him was Justin. The kids were huddled against the wall, not a scratch on them. A uniformed officer helped them up and out of the room. Dave stood pointing his gun at Justin, who had the gun pressed against his temple.
"Don't do it" Dave said. He didn't want to shoot the kid, but he didn't know how else to get the kid to drop the weapon. Reyes barreled around the corner, his eyes wide in fear and shock.
"J, please, don't" he whispered. Justin let his tears fall slowly. He thought his dad hated him for not following in his footsteps, but he didn't want it to end this way. He wanted to be caught so he stopped hurting everyone. Reyes took a step forward, his arms stretched out in a comforting manner. Justin took the gun from his head and started dropping his hands to his side. At the last second he moved the gun so it pointed towards his father. Two shots rang out.

Dave walked out of the house last. The others just shook their heads. They would let Dave explain to her what happened. JJ looked past Dave for Reyes. She didn't see him. Her heart fell to the pit of her stomach. The coroner came out, the assistants rolling out two body bags. Dave walked straight to JJ and pulled her head into his shoulder.
"Suicide by cop" he said. JJ sobbed. Not only had the family lost a son and brother, but they had also lost a father and husband. Where was the justice in society? "Let's go home" Dave said leading her away. Reyes's lifelong partner had asked if he could tell the family, alone. Aaron agreed and they said their goodbyes. They wanted to go home and be with their families. JJ nodded and the team headed back to the SUVs, a somber mood settling over them.
