All I own is Paige and the plot. Everything else belongs to CBS.
R&R please.
David Rossi was running on zero hours of sleep and about twenty cups of very strong, highly caffeinated coffee. He sat in Penelope's office, waiting for calls, in case any came. Penelope was focusing intently on her task: to track the previous locations of Reid and Paige's phones. She clapped her hands, bringing Rossi out of his stupor.
"Aha!" She exclaimed.
"What did you find, Garcia?" Rossi asked, feeling hopeful.
"Before the cell phones were dumped in the river, they had been at the gas station, which I am assuming is where Reid and Paige were nabbed, and before that, the library." She said.
"Pull the security footage from both the library parking lot and the gas station." He ordered.
"On it." Penelope replied.
Just then, Rossi's cell phone rang. David calmly flipped it open.
"Hello?"
"Ah, so we speak again."
"Is Paige okay?"
"I knocked her around a little, and I really enjoyed caressing her. She looks great in Victoria Secret."
"Is she okay?" Rossi repeated, trying to remain calm.
"She's fine. The dorky agent is watching over her. Looks like I've got some competition."
"When are you going to let her go?"
"I'm not. Unless of course, you're willing to make a deal."
"What is it that you want."
"My sister. But that's not going to happen."
"And why not?"
"Because my sister is dead. And it's your fault."
"How is it my fault."
"Because you didn't catch him before he killed her. If you would have caught him, she'd still be alive."
"Caught who?"
"Figure it out. I'll give you a clue, he kidnapped her, and he had her when you caught him.."
Then there was silence. Penelope immediately began running checks against cases where the final victim was found with the UnSub.
"That's twenty cases, sir." Penelope said.
"Narrow it down to the ones where the final victim was female." He ordered.
"Eighteen."
"Cross-check siblings."
"Twelve."
"Brothers?"
"Seven cases."
"Check to see if any of those brothers have started behaving suspiciously within the last several months."
"Okay". Penelope said.
"I'm going to talk to the team." Rossi said, then left.
It was then that Penelope allowed herself to break down.
