Brian went to the bedroom and changed into a t-shirt and jeans. When he was more comfortable, he came back down to the dining room on bare feet; he hated wearing anything on his feet if he didn't have to. At least he had buttoned all the buttons on the jeans; usually, the top one was left undone.

When he arrived in the dining room, he took an extra look at the pictures of the three men. He had to agree with Justin, they looked awfully familiar.

Rossi walked up and stood next to him.

"You didn't recognize them at first?"

"No, but then again, they were never important enough to pay that much attention to."

Rossi was taken aback at the callous remark and Brian could see it in his face. He shrugged and tried to explain.

"Before I met Justin, I didn't care at all about any of the many men I fucked, and to this day, Justin is still the only one I do care about. It's a mutual understanding when you trick; tricks are something to do and then forget about."

Rossi nodded in understanding, even if he wasn't sure he agreed with the sentiment.

"We have to ask you some questions."

"I figured."

Brian sat at the table and Morgan sat across from him.

"Do you have any idea who might have a grudge against the two of you or anybody you would take home with you; enough to do something like this?"

"I've been thinking about that since Justin said that we'd fucked these guys, but I really have no idea who could have done something like this."

"You don't have any enemies, no one who could do this to try and frame you?"

"Sure, I've got enemies, even Justin does, hard as that is to believe, but no one who I'd think would be capable of doing this."

He made a gesture towards the pictures from the crime scenes.

"You'd be surprised at some of the things people are capable of. Tell me everybody you know who hates either one of you and we'll interview them, just to make sure."

Brian sighed heavily before leaning back in his chair.

"I guess it has to be men, right?"

"Not necessarily; the sex before death could be coincidental, it's not likely, but we can't rule anybody out this early."

"Ok, let's start at the beginning. Craig Taylor, Justin's former father."

Just then, Justin came into the room with his sketchpad.

"You think my dad is capable of doing something like this?"

He looked horrified and Brian hurried to reassure him.

"No, but then again, I have no idea who might. Derek just asked for the names of anybody who hates either one of us."

"Ahh, yeah, he definitely fits that category then."

Justin sat next to Brian to help with what turned out to be a rather long list.

Besides Justin's dad there were David Cameron, Kip Thomas, Chris Hobbs, Joan Kinney, Gary Sapperstein, Clair and John, Ethan Gold, Jim Stockwell, Gardner Vance and Cody Bell.

"Ok, got it, now tell me about each of them."

Both Brian and Justin looked uncomfortable at that prospect.

"Is that really necessary, isn't it enough to know that those people are less than thrilled with us?"

"I'm sorry, Brian, but it seems that the killer is either trying to frame you, or at the very least has been stalking you, for him or her to know who you've slept with and in what order."

Justin gasped and Brian slumped back in his chair at that.

"We are going to have to do victimology on you to try and find out who would do something like that."

"What is victimology?"

"Victimology is where we learn as much as we can about the victim in order to find out who might want to hurt them, one way or another."

They both nodded reluctantly, acknowledging that it had to be done.

"Ok, let's start from the top, Justin's dad?"

Justin looked at Morgan, took a deep breath and then started talking.

"My dad was less than thrilled when my mother told him I was gay when I was 17. He thought it was a phase that I'd grow out of, until she told him that I was seeing someone. He wanted to know the boy's name so he could talk to his parents. My mom then proceeded to tell him that it wasn't a boy but a 29-year-old man."

They both saw the looks they got at that, but they were so used to people judging them because of their ages, and everything else for that matter, that they just ignored it.

"He rear-ended Brian with his car, twice, one night and then drove off; we only know it was him because Brian said it was a silver car and my dad's car had a large dent in the front fender.

Another night, he attacked Brian outside Babylon when we came out of there. He told me that either I come home with him then and there, or I could never come home. I chose never. My father is quite convinced that Brian seduced me and turned me gay."

All the agents, and Carl, looked up at that and stared at him in confusion.

"He thinks that Brian turned you gay?"

"Yes, he's quite convinced of that, and he hates me for it. Apparently, it has ruined his marriage and prevented his son from going to Dartmouth to get a business degree."

Brian said this dryly and with a roll of his eyes.

"Doesn't he know that all the studies every expert has ever done agree that either you are born with your sexual orientation, or it is set at the age of 6 at the latest?"

Reid sounded confused.

"I doubt very much he has taken the time to read any of the material on the matter; he doesn't really want to be proven wrong. Something else, while protesting Prop 14, I found out my father was one of the business owners supporting the bill, so I went to confront him. He had me thrown out of his store and when I refused to cross the street with the rest of the protesters, he had me arrested."

Brian reacted faster than Justin had expected him to; he jumped out of his chair and turned to Justin with his hands balled tightly into fists.

"He had you arrested? What the fuck for?"

"Trespassing."

"God, that fucking asshole; what the fuck happened?"

"My mom and Ben came down and bailed me out; that was the end of it, even though he did manage to accuse me of ruining not only the family but my parents' marriage, too."

"That's such bullshit; I hope you fucking know that; the only ones responsible for ruining their marriage are themselves. I hope you know that."

"I know." Justin took Brian's hand and he sat down. "Let's move on. I really don't want to talk about my father anymore."

Morgan nodded in understanding and moved on down the list.

"Ok, the next one is David Cameron, who's that?"

"Dr. Dave was Michael's boyfriend who he met shortly after I had met Justin. I didn't like him and at the time Michael had a crush on me; well, he said he was in love, but I don't think he really was, he just liked the idea of me. Anyway, since I had a lot of influence on Michael, I could keep him from making things too serious with David, something the controlling son of a bitch really didn't like."

Brian smirked at the irony of that statement, but continued, unperturbed.

"He asked Michael to move in with him, but Michael said no and they broke up. Deb, Michael's mother, blamed me for it and told me to fix it. I threw a big party for Michael for his thirtieth birthday and invited David to come. I also invited a girl from Michael's work who he had pretended to like in order to get a promotion; she was not thrilled when she turned up and found out that Michael wasn't really interested in her, that he was in fact gay.

Michael was sufficiently pissed at me so he agreed to move in with David. A while later, I thought I got a job in New York, and at the same time David decided to move to Portland to be closer to his son. He wanted Michael to move with him but he was reluctant until he found out that I wouldn't be staying in Pittsburgh anyway. They moved, but it didn't last very long. Michael didn't have any friends in Portland and David was the same controlling ass there as he was here. Michael decided to end the relationship and move back here to be close to me since my big move never happened. He couldn't have chosen a worse time, but that's a story for another time."

Carl was gaping at Brian. Not having been around back then, he had no idea that any of that had happened; he thought that Michael had always lived in Pittsburgh; the fact that he had moved as far away from Deb and Brian as Portland was a complete shock to him.

"But why do you think that he hates you for it, if the relationship didn't work even when they moved away; that couldn't possibly be your fault."

Brian scoffed at that.

"You want to bet? Everything that goes wrong in Michael's life is my fault, one way or another; besides, he came back here partly to be close to me again, and I'm sure Dr. Dave knows this."

Justin had reached out his hand for Brian's when he had said that everything was his fault; that was one of the things he was trying to change, the perception that Brian was at fault for everything.

Carl looked slightly uncomfortable because he had noticed how the 'family' all automatically turned to Brian when something went wrong, either to blame him, or to get him to fix it.

Morgan could tell that they had moved into unpleasant territory, and he definitely intended to get back to it, but first, they had to finish the list of the people they themselves thought hated them.

Morgan looked at Rossi and Hotch and could tell that they planned on doing a little investigating on their own, starting with Carl Horvath. They had already started steering him towards the kitchen in order to get a little distance between the two interviews.

When they arrived in the kitchen, Vivian asked if it might be time for some coffee and they agreed it might be a good idea for a little break. Hotch went back to the dining room and asked what they all wanted and then went back and told Vivian.

She made their coffees and put the cake she had made earlier on a plate and put it all on a tray for them to bring to the dining room. They all sat down, silently agreeing to keep the conversation on other things for the duration of the break.
