Chapter 2
November 1st
USA, New York
Supervisory special agent Emily Prentiss sat at the cafeteria table sipping her coffee and trying to work on another crossword puzzle. It had been one of Jason Gideon's way to release stress, like how Reid plays chess after a case.
" Did some of Gideon wear off on you?" Emily looked up and smiled, Morgan sat down next to her and ordered a coffee with a blueberry muffin.
"It releases the stress of the job."
"Ah so I see, so what are you doing up so early?"
"Couldn't sleep."
"Something bugging you?"
"I don't know I think may-" Emily paused as her phone went off and picked up." Prentiss… Yes of course… yes….. Thank you sir." and she hang up.
"What was that?"
"That was detective Harvey, the guy who was chit chatting with Garcia last night, he said he found something and asked if we could come in as soon as possible."
"I'll go wake up Re-"
"You don't have to I'm up already." Reid replied and sat down next to Emily with a fresh cup of coffee in his hands.
"Well morning sleeping beauty." Morgan teased.
"Oh shut up you know I didn't sleep well!" Reid shot back.
"Why not?" Emily asked as Morgan covered his mouth with his hands in order to not laugh out loud.
"His mom called last night at like twelve, wanted to know if he was okay."
"She had an episode over the phone and it took her almost till four to get her to calm down again." Reid mumbled and laid his hand on the table, closing his eyes.
"Well don't fall asleep on us yet detective Harvey asked if we could come down, and since were the only people awake I say we go check it out." Morgan suggested.
"Shouldn't we let Hotch know?"
"Nah it's no big deal anyways were just checking something out, we'll be back soon." And all three of them left.
"I'm glad you guys could make it as soon as you could. I've been talking to your technical Analyst since this morning and we were able to come up with something." Harvey chipped excitedly. "Ready miss. Garcia?"
"As I'll every be my sexy friend." Garcia said over the laptop, Morgan rolled his eyes as Garcia pulled up something.
"What is that?" Reid asked
"That my junior G-man is a website for gay couples." Garcia explained.
" Okay why are you showing us this?" Morgan asked
" Ah your not letting me finish you guys, okay I tried to find out why these particular forks were targeted and I was able to find one thing in common, each and everyone of the men murdered were signed up for this site. And not just that but each one had the same secret lover as well."
" So your telling me these guys are all dating pretty young girl and are gay?" Emily frowned.
" It looks like it and my oh my were these guys gay, wow some of these guys have some nice as-"
" Garcia!" Morgan barked.
" Sorry but they do, I would almost say that one of the victims ass is almost as hot as yours My chocolate lover!" Emily laughed and Reid choked on his coffee.
" Oh you laugh now but just you wait until I get home your in for a load of pain."
" Is that a threat or a promise!" By that time everyone was laughing a gasping for air even Morgan couldn't help but laugh.
" Okay enough of the sexual jokes Garcia were you able to find out who this secret lover was?" Emily asked
" Ah no his identity is very well hidden." Garcia mumbled. " It says here his name is Connor LeBlanc but when I tried to look up the name I got nothing."
" That's because it's a code name." Reid said and grabbed a piece of paper he started to write things down.
" What's he doing?" Asked Harvey watching very closely.
" Being a genius!"
" Ah got it!" Reid cried victoriously. " Garcia run the name Ben Colon Clarn for me will you!"
" Got it my lovely, okay I got one hit he lives in OH he lives in New York, he was arrested for spouse abuse three times but the charges were each dropped. His parents were killed three months after being hit by a drunk driver. It's only him and his sister who are still alive. It seems your genius brain might have found our Unsub." Garcia said.
" Hmm something's missing through, our profile is off like a lot. iF this is our Unsub of course." Emily said.
" We need more info."
" Well sorry you guys but there's nothing else on his sorry!"
" is he by any chance a local, someone people would know?" They all turned to view Hotch at the doorway.
" Well he has over 5 thousand friends on Facebook and 7 thousand followers on twitter so I'm sure someone knows who he is!' Garcia taped on her computer." Why?"
" I just got a call from local LPD they want us to go under cover to see if we can get some more info on are killer."
" But we don't do undercover work." Emily replied.
" I know but it's just this once and only a few of us are."
" Why so?" Reid asked
" Were going under cover as couples." Hotch said
" Are you freaking kidding me!" Emily hollowed.
" I already told LPD that you two wouldn't like the idea but it's not my choice." Hotch shook his head, and rubbed his hand over his forehead.
" Okay then why go undercover as couples?" Emily muttered.
" Because in case he decides to attack, it's his preferences and it's easier on us if we have someone with us in case something goes wrong." Hotch answered and sat up, Reid forward his brows together.
" Who's going undercover?"
" Morgan you and JJ are going undercover together, you two are going to hit the local bars ask anyone you can about any supremacies activities."
" Thank god it's not me." Emily muttered under her breath.
" I take it JJ already knows right?' Morgan asked
" Yes she does and she's not to happy, but you two are a good team together."
" Then who do I get to drag with me?" Emily asked confused.
" You and Reid are gong to ask around local parks and restaurants maybe you two will get some information." Emily groaned and Reid paled.
" But Hotch want I be better at the office, I mean I'm not really good at this undercover stuff?" Reid suggested.
" I said the same thing but JJ though it would be a good idea if you get out of the office once in awhile. And I agree you can't always stick around the office al day your going to suffocate in here." Hotch added causing both Emily and Morgan to chuckle.
" So this was JJ's idea?" Emily asked
" Yes."
" I am going to kill her!" Emily muttered.
" why?" Morgan asked
" Nothing."
" Alright if you two are done I would like to get are profile out to the police before you four go undercover just in case."
" Right." Emily and Morgan said in unison and both stood up.
" Okay this unsub is highly organised, he has killed over five other people before Macy Davis and Zarah smith, this unsub has possibly a some sort of mental disorder, as he is asking for help from the RCMP." Hotch explained.
" He is a local and he will be know from far and wide. We believe his name is Ben Colon Clarn but he will go under the code name Connor LeBlanc." Reid continued. " We believe his stressor is that his parents were murdered a few months ago. And as far as we know of he is targeting his victims because they are cheating on there lovers with other men."
" At this moment are technical Analyst is currently trying to locate Clarn, but in the meantime we want everyone on the streets looking for clues and or possible friends of this man." Rossi explained.
" Any questions?"
" How do we know this is our killer?" One of the local police officers asked, Hotch turned to Reid and asked him to explained.
" Actually we believe that Mr. Clarn is either a victim or is being set up, these killings are more likely being done by someone young, this man is older and more likely not our unsub. But we aren't ruling it out, we still have to find hi-" Suddenly the door opened and JJ came rushing in.
" They found Mr. Clarn, he was found in the alley way just a block from here, the words liar were written on his arm." JJ explained and Morgan swore under are breath. Hotch rubber his eyes.
" the unsub got to him before us, Clarn most have known are unsub." Rossi suggested.
" it could be a possibility, but who?" Emily though.
" Maybe someone will know, was Garcia able to find anything on Clarns sister yet?" Morgan asked?
" Not yet but we should have something before we leave."
" Alright so our prime suspect has been killed, so our Unsub knows were here and are looking for him, but something got him on the edge because now he's calling people liar, maybe he doesn't want help any more?" Reid though for a minute before standing up and walking over to the white board, he started to scribble things down.
" What's wrong Reid?" Rossi asked and everyone else turned to face him.
" There's something that's been bugging me from the start of this all, is it possible that our unsub is a female?"
