Chapter 5 –

The team all gathered in the room they had been allocated at the police station, cups of coffee were eagerly distributed between everyone as they sat down for the first time since they had landed.

"The ME found something rather interesting, apparently Chloe Dixon suffered a miscarriage before she was shot, she died because of a single gunshot wound to the chest."

Morgan stopped and took a sip of his coffee, looking around at the table and was unsurprised to see the others reading the file.

"Maybe that is why they killed her, because of her miscarriage. The body was dumped in front of a church, the girls taken from abortion clinics, this has definite religious connotations and we may be dealing with more than one unsub."

Rossi spoke calmly, looking down at the file as he spoke, he didn't want to raise his eyes as he knew that he would be drawn to look at Emily.

"Dave may be right, I'll get Garcia to look into any religious groups that have been actively targeting the clinics. We may be looking at a husband and wife partnership, they may be looking to 'save' these unborn children, disposing of the mother's once they have given birth. We need to find out what they are doing with the children, if they are keeping them they will need plenty of space, Reid you look into that. JJ and Prentiss I want you to go to the clinic where Chloe Dixon was heading to, do some discreet surveillance and see what you can find out, if there is anyone suspicious or if they have been targeted lately."

Emily nodded reluctantly as Hotch spoke, she knew that her and JJ were the obvious choices for the assignment, if they needed to speak to women approaching the clinic they would be more at ease speaking to the two female agents. JJ frowned as she saw the look in Emily's eyes but decided against saying anything, instead she followed her friend out of the room and in silence as the two of them started to drive to their destination.

He knew that she was angry, they had lost one, and not through the way that the normally did things. One of the babies was crying and although he tried to blank out the noise the incessant whining got the better of him as he eventually walked through into the dirty room, searching the rows of cots until he found the one. He rarely ventured in here, it was her domain, that was when he knew that he had failed her, when she refused to come in and see to her children. He picked up the baby, cradling it carefully as it stopped crying and snuggled into his body, he knew that if he put it back down again it would only start making that spine tingling noise again so he accepted his fate and walked out of the room, still carrying the baby. He headed to down the stairs, he kept on going until he reached the darkness where he knew she was cowering. He flicked on the light and saw her studying the photos.

"It's hungry."

"Well you feed it then I'm busy."

He nodded as he watched her bony fingers flick through the photos, examining each figure carefully, checking for height, weight and age. He knew that she would be more careful this time, unwilling to lose another one like the last.

Emily sat in the car, her hands wrapped around the steering wheel as she stared out of the windscreen, it had been two hours since they had started and nothing out of the ordinary had happened so far, apart from the eerie silence between the two women.

"There goes a likely candidate."

Emily nodded as JJ pointed to the teenage girl walking nervously along the sidewalk, her head bowed down she tried to avoid eye contact with anybody else but as she neared the entrance to the clinic they saw a middle aged man walking towards her.

"Hello what's this?"

"It might be nothing, we can't go yet."

"I know Em, we sit tight...hang on!"

JJ suddenly sat up as she saw the man walk into the girl, almost knocking her to the floor before he shoved something into her body, causing her to yell out in pain.

"Emily?"

JJ looked at her friend but Emily was already opening her door, JJ followed suit as they ran towards the man, Emily quickly pulling him off and shoving him hard down on the pavement.

"Are you ok?"

Emily looked up at the teenager who had a few tears rolling down her face, she nodded in reply as JJ arrived and put her hand on the girl's arm before she reached into her pocket and brought out her cell.

"I'll call Hotch."
