"You ready to work on the leads now?" Morgan said and pushed a box across the table and towards Reid as he and Ashley walked out of the interrogation room.

"We think we've got one for you" Reid said and pushed the box back to him.

"Yeah, well I've got plenty already so unless you've got something concrete to back it up you're gonna need to work on these" Morgan countered and shoved the box back to Reid.

Ashley glanced at the two of them and felt the tension building so she cleared her throat and said "We think Doyle is a family annihilator"

"What makes you think that?" Hotch said as he walked over to the three of them.

"Doyle doesn't do collateral damage, that child in DC was killed for a reason" Ashley replied quickly. Morgan spun round to look at Hotch then glanced back at Ashley.

"Are you sure about this?" Hotch asked.

Ashley quickly nodded and turned to Reid to explain. "It's in Doyle's profile as a terrorist that he carried out all his murders with surgical- like precision. He didn't kill for the sake of it, everything he was done for a purpose- including the child" Reid said and inched a step forward.

Hotch thought for a minute then nodded. "I've been talking to Easter and he's agreed to help us with the new profile we're building" Hotch said then turned as he heard a door open behind him and Easter walk out followed closely by Rossi.

"Ian Doyle is a parasitic psychopath who's highly controlling and has an explosive anger when something doesn't go as planned" Easter said as he sat down at the table.

"So, how does that fit into his role as a family annihilator?" Ashley asked as she glanced at the board Morgan had just set up for all the new information coming in.

"Annihilators have a romanticised view of who their families are…" Reid said and sat down a few seats away from Easter.

"They think a family is their possession until a lose shatters that and starts them killing" Morgan added as he twirled round a whiteboard marker in his hand.

"So, what's Doyle's loss?" Rossi said and leant forward on the desk as his eyes glanced over the papers on the desk.

"Doyle doesn't have a family, though. No wife, no kids" He said and glanced up to the board.

"Parents?" Rossi asked and followed Easter's line of vision to the board.

"No, he was an orphan" Easter remarked.

Rossi picked up the picture of the boy who had been murdered in DC, a single bullet hole in his head. "Is there anyway Doyle could have had a child that Prentiss knew about but didn't tell you?" he said and dropped the picture onto the table.

"Well, yes… but why would she keep it from me?" Easter asked and stood up.

"If the boy in DC wasn't collateral damage, maybe he was a surrogate for a child Doyle had" Rossi said and pushed the picture to Easter.

"Who else was on the compound when you arrested Doyle?" Hotch asked.

"Just the staff" Easter replied.

"All Irish?" Rossi asked and walked over to him.

"Yes" Easter quickly replied and looked from Hotch to Rossi then back to Hotch.

"That's a start" Hotch said and nodded to Morgan who had watched eagerly as the conversation had gone back and forth until he sprung into action and started rapidly going through the papers and sticking some of them onto the board.

Reid's head was swimming, a child? Doyle had a child that Emily knew about and kept a secret? She wouldn't have done that; it was against protocol, he told himself. Sure, she sometimes got too involved and bent the rules but lying about a child's existence? She'd never do that, never.

Reid quickly ran a hand through his hair and stood up, none of this sat well with him. It just didn't make sense. Usually he could see where the case was going, he'd see where the leads lead and he'd follow them alongside the team but all he wanted to do now was slam down the breaks and get his head together.

He placed the floor and rubbed his eyes, he had felt them getting heavier as sleep had evaded him since the first night Emily had gone missing- it had been four days since then. He sighed again then quickly walked towards the door, maybe the cool air would wake him up enough to do some work.

"Reid? Reid!" Hotch called to him as his eyes locked on the man quickly walking towards the door.

Reid didn't bother turning round, he knew everyone's eyes would be trained on him, even Easter's. "Just give me a minute" He called back and yanked the door open, showing only just enough restraint to not slam the door behind him.
