Spoilers: Season 2: "Jones"
-----
Reid and Prentiss had interviewed the victims' families. Justin Greene's mother, even though he had been dead seven years, still felt the sting of losing her son. Reid was very glad Prentiss was with him. She had the softness that this mother needed. Mrs. Greene gave them some names of people to talk to that knew Justin.
Donald Went's mother was still in shock after the news of her son's death. Having just been notified the previous day, it hadn't quite sunk in with her yet. Yet again, Prentiss was helpful in the situation, showing compassion and empathy with the mother. Mrs. Went didn't know who Donald's friends were anymore, but did tell them to check with his work.
Prentiss and Reid had thanked both families and then called Garcia to look up names and addresses. After they had talked to everyone they needed to and had added a few more names to the list, they headed back to the station. Once there, they found Gideon, Hotch and Morgan there. They had returned from the crime scenes with a fresh take on whom they were looking for.
"Our unsub is a female," Gideon said without preamble as Reid and Prentiss walked in.
Reid raised an eyebrow and Prentiss looked shocked.
"Only eleven percent of homicides are committed by women, and nine percent of those against men. Of those nine percent, only six and a half percent had multiple victims," Reid intoned, his voice rising and falling with his excitement of relaying pertinent information.
Morgan added to Gideon's statement. "Our unsub doesn't have the strength to overpower these men. And she's not taking them out with one hit. She's hitting them multiple times."
"We think she may be their victim and she's getting back at them for raping her," Hotch added.
"Are we looking for another Sarah Danlin?" Prentiss asked. "Is she stalking her victims for revenge for being raped?"
Gideon spoke up. "We don't think so."
Reid thought for a moment. "She was probably raped before she was eighteen. Forty-four percent of victims are under eighteen. And they are twice as likely to be raped as adults. She's probably in her twenties. Eighty percent of victims are under the age of thirty."
Just then JJ entered the room rather quickly. "We've got another victim," she told the group.
Inwardly, Reid groaned. He was anxious to get a profile out without having another victim. He was also anxious for the day to be over so he could go visit his girlfriend. There was something about this case that made him want to be with her more. He couldn't explain it, not even to himself. Maybe it was the possibility of a female unsub. Or maybe it was the sexual nature this case was starting to take. Not that this was a sexually sadistic case or even a case about rape. But it was turning out to be a victim taking back control of her life. It reminded him of his girlfriend, Rachel. In fact, the whole thing was starting to sound a little eerie.
