here's chapter 2 enjoy! :D


Chapter 2: In the Air

Reid looked up from his reading to glance over at each of the BAU members. He started playing with the loose string hanging from his sleeve cuff before speaking, "I haven't been to New York since that last case. I can't wait to visit-"

"Are you serious?" Morgan asked looking up from his mp3 player. Prentiss beside him looks up from her comic book. Reid looks everywhere else.

"What?"

Prentiss continued on with her comic book reading. Morgan stared at Reid a few seconds more in disbelief.

"Reid you really need explore more on your downtime. We've talked about this-hey!" Morgan rubbed the side of his head where JJ just hit him with a rolled up newspaper. She smirked walking down the aisle before nearly tripping over Morgan's extended foot. Prentiss buried her head in the comic book she held, shoulders shaking in apparent laughter. JJ looked back at Morgan,who took a sudden interest in the window beside him, her eyes narrowing. Reid chuckled at what he just observed. He covered his mouth snickering until Aaron Hotchner cleared his throat.

"Let's go over victimology for victim one and three a bit more" Hotch says, to the group. The BAU team had been in the air for about thirty minutes, goofing off as they were earlier or reading.

"So who was it that found the first victim?" Morgan asked to no one in particular.

"The landlord's wife found her. The landlord sent her to collect the month's rent. When Maribel didn't answer the door she used her key to get in and found Maribel" JJ answered looking through her copy of the case files.

"According to the police report nothing of Maribel's was stolen, except the baby and items that belonged to the baby. It was as if the baby didn't exist"

"The organized side of the profile" Hotch said. "Did the landlord and his wife know the baby existed?Any visits, or crying heard by either of them?"

"I don't think they did..." JJ trails off, flipping through more pages in her folder.

Reid looked away from the window to glance over the file sitting on his lap. "How is that even possible? If they didn't know the baby existed when Maribel moved in, then Maribel was already pregnant when crossing the border" he said.

"Which also means our unsub took greater lengths to hide the pregnancy from their current location" Hotch muses.

"It would make more sense to work from our recent victim, then compare to our first victim" Gideon said out loud.

"I agree. We split up from the two crime scenes. Gideon and myself will follow up on the first scene, Reid and Morgan visit the recent victim. JJ and Prentiss will follow up with Garcia at the police station where all of us will keep a steady flow of communication between the scenes" Hotch said.

"Aye Aye Captain!" Garcia replied, disappearing as soon as she made her appearance known from the laptop screen in front of Hotch.

"How long was Garcia there?" Reid asked confusedly,pointing at the screen and looking around at the rest of the group. Everyone else reciprocated the action.

"Everyone knows what they'll be doing when we reach base?" Hotch said interrupting the silence. His question was received with knowing glances and nods.

"Alright then. We'll be down in one hour"
