REUNITED AND IT FEELS AWKWARD
SCENE TWELVE:
Back in the woods of Telluride, Colorado, FBI and local police have strategically surrounded an old mine where they believe the un-sub is holding up. Whether by coincidence or by chance this is where Reid and Derek had found the laptop, inside a junked out bus. Once used to transport mine workers from one place to the next. Now it sits after years of loyal service with tires flat, a couple bare rims and only a few windows remaining in tack. Derek looks to Hotchner who is standing beside him and points to the bus. "There is where we chased the un-sub. Into that bus where he dropped the laptop and where we lost him. He must have gone out the back emergency door, but I don't know how." Derek hands a pair of binoculars to Agent Hotchner. "I swear Hotch I about tore my muscles trying to open that door and I searched for other ways out and I couldn't find any. We should have had him dead center in that bus."
"Well, it is probably good you didn't. After seeing the victims I would say our un-sub has no emotional connection with humanity at all. He isn't targeting virgins as we were led to believe. Three of the girls had abortions and one left behind a six month old boy. He may be after girls that can conceive." Hotchner felt stumped on this one. No profile seemed to fit.
"Then why kill the girls?" Derek couldn't come to grips with the case. "He must have some remorse, why else would he dump the bodies in a park where they could be easily found. Why not just leave them here?" There were many questions Derek wanted answered and he knew the only way for sure to get them was to catch the un-sub. "I tell you Hotch I want to kill this bastard, but I want to know why first. It is ripping me up inside."
Finding things quiet at the mine Hotchner puts down the binoculars. "Well, we know from the planning office this mine is equipped with varies mining machines. That could easily tear apart a person, which most likely is why he chose here. Most of the other mines have been gutted."
Hotchner turns when he hears footsteps and sees the Medical Examiner behind him. "Haggerdille, what are you doing here?"
Having thought about what to say on the way up, Dan could still feel his nerves begging him to turn around and run home. "I couldn't just sit in an empty morgue and worry about the girls still missing. So I came up to tell you personally there are two more missing kids." Dan leaned back when Derek and Hotchner looked straight at him with a disturbing look on their faces. "Some kid saw three men drag Carmella into the woods. And worse they took her boy friend Derrick with them."
"We have no profile for these un-subs and there is no time to collaborate. We need to move on this and soon." Agent Hotchner looks at Dan. "Haggerdille you will need to sit in the SUV with Kevin. I don't want any more traffic moving in or out of this area. We're still not sure if anyone is in there and now we are looking at a group of un-subs with nothing to go on but our instincts." Just then they heard the roar of an engine echoing up from the mine. With his binoculars Hotchner could see a black Impala slowly pulling in then stopping. From his post position he could clearly see Sam step out of the drivers side carrying a shot gun and Dean reaching into the back seat and pull out a sawed off double barreled shot gun. "Damn it, what are they doing. Derek, find Reid and see if he can contact those agents and have them get out of there before there killed."
Following Derek to the SUV, Dan stops to allow distance between him and Derek while he makes a call. He hears Sam's voice on the other end. "The place is surrounded and you need to back out now, before it is too late." Dan sees Derek turn to him with a questionable look. "The Agents gave me their number so I called and told them to get out." Dan steps from the path as Derek heads back up the small incline that conceals them from the mine.
Joining Derek and Hotchner back at there secluded location Dan watches Sam step in front of the Impala. He can see the two having a somewhat heated conversation that does not end well. "Oh, no don't." Dan whispers as he watches Dean push Sam and run, disappearing into the mouth of the mine. Sam hesitates before climbing into the driver seat. "Come on get out of there, just leave your partner and get out of there." After a few minutes the Impala rolls out of the mine. Dan turns to Derek, "Well, we saved one of them. I don't know what the other crazy fool thinks he is going to do."
"I need to speak with that agent." Hotchner heads down. "Derek you need to stay here and keep me informed on any movement. Dan you need to come with me." Hotchner heads down the incline with Dan following. Faint light from the laptop can be seen inside the SUV where Kevin is working on the encryptions. "Dan, stay in the van with Kevin. We don't need to be worrying about civilians."
The Impala rolls in next to the SUV. Dan stands waiting to see how Sam plans to pull this one off, while Hotchner hand signals a few FBI SWAT members to join them. Before Sam can get out of the car he is surrounded by agents.
