Emily and JJ had been in the conference room for about 3 hours now and they still haven't found a connection between the victims.
"You know, I'm beginning to think these girls have nothing in common." JJ threw her current file down in a huff. "I'm going to go get coffee, do you want any?"
"Aren't you supposed to stay away from coffee when your pregnant?" Emily got a death glare from her lover and she laughed lightly and continued, "Geez babe, sorry but I'm good, you go get your own." Emily watched as JJ left the room and took note of her extra sway in her hips. She smiled and then an idea came to her. She ran over to her laptop and accessed the arrest record database. She typed in the four victims names and the missing girl as well. She got hits on all five girls and as she scanned the pages and noticed the one thing she had been looking for.
"Hey Hotch, guess what I found out."
"A connection between the victims?"
"Oh yea, and your never going to guess what it is. Is Detective Russ with you guys?"
"No, he went back to the precinct awhile ago." Emily's breath hitched in her throat and she looked up at JJ. She was still waiting for her coffee to finish brewing and her hands unconsciously went to her baby belly.
"The girls all have criminal records, petty teenage stuff nothing serious, but the arresting officer for all of them was Russ."
"Damn, keep him occupied and away from JJ. We are heading back now."
"Done. Hurry he's making his way over to Jen right now." Hotch explained what they found at the scene of the abduction. Emily ended the call and went to the door to get JJ's attention.
"Hey JJ, I got something, come here." She saw Russ flinch and a flash of anger flew across his face. Emily looked at him and smirked. She knew it wasn't smart at all but she had JJ and he didn't. When they got into the conference room she sat JJ down and told her everything, including the stuff the team found at the scene.
"Listen, when the team gets back we are going to confront Russ because he is our unsub. The girls all have criminal records and their arresting officer was Russ. That's how he chose them. Hotch and the team found trace evidence at the scene, the strand of fabric caught in the doorjamb matches a police uniform. And Russ was gone and unaccounted for during my profile presentation. Garcia also found out that Russ owns a cabin in the back country about 10 miles from the station. Hotch sent two patrol officers over to the location. All we are waiting for is the girl. All she has to do is identify Russ and we got him. He will confess and I will make sure of that." JJ saw the confidence and strength in Emily's eyes. She was actually quite calm now, considering they were so close to a murderer. She watched Emily's eyes flicked up to him every few seconds. JJ turned her chair around and looked at him. He snapped.
