The team has reassembled to share information.
Prentiss: They're still finding parts of people in Pennsylvania.
Morgan: Ohio too. Nothing seems special about the dump sites. It's like these men were just garbage he was getting rid of. Just littering.
Rossi: The way they were left shows the unsub doesn't care if they are found.
Reid: Not all parts are being found. Different parts of each victim are missing. Only one or two parts of each body. The count by the way is up to eleven. There are tool marks that look like they are made by a saw. It could be matched if we can find it.
Prentiss: So he doesn't care if we find them and the identities aren't obscured. The teeth and fingerprints are not altered. So why dismember?
Rossi: Sexual component?
Reid: Maybe. The victims have all been assaulted but the dismemberment might be a part of that as well.
Hotch: DNA evidence?
Reid: Nothing. The manner of penetration is unclear. Maybe a condom or a foreign object. Or he may have a form or arousal disorder and be unable to ejaculate without a specific fetish. That may be the reason for the dismemberment.
-------------------
In a particularly seedy looking part of Youngstown, there are three young men on a corner. A truck stops next to the youths. The youngest looking one, Gary, who looks to only be fourteen, approaches the truck.
Gary: You lookin' for a party?
Driver: Tyler?
Gary: I can be.
Driver: Get in Tyler. You look cold.
Gary climbs into the cab of the truck and the vehicle drives away.
----------------------------
Hotch: Reid, what do you have on victimology?
Reid: Most were runaways who turned to prostitution.
Morgan: People nobody'd be looking for.
Reid: Not to mention that they are hard to identify. Out of twelve victims, we've only been able to identify six so far.
Hotch: Is twelve the final count?
Reid: Yes, until he kills again.
Morgan: We know how he gets most of the victims to go with him. Prostitutes are easy to separate from a group. How about Greg Thorsen and Dylan Murphy?
Hotch: According to the Garrettsville police, the night Greg went missing, there was a sudden rain shower right after he left his girlfriend's house. The theory is our unsub drove up and offered a ride.
Morgan: So he must not seem outwardly creepy.
Hotch: We still don't know how the unsub took Dylan Murphy. The area has been canvassed and recanvassed. No one saw a thing.
Reid: Actually, the medical examiner has a theory. The toxicology report should tell for sure.
Morgan: He was drugged?
Reid: There's a needle mark on his left bicep. No others anywhere on his body.
Hotch: Any indication of drugging of the other victims?
Reid: Nothing at all on Greg Thorsen and as for the others, well, drug use often goes hand in hand with prostitution.
Hotch: Let me know as soon as the tox screen comes in. Whatever he used might be the first solid lead we get.
J.J.: Hotch, do we have anything at all? People are really starting to panic. They're looking for some sort of statement from us.
Hotch: Soon, I hope. Hell, I don't know…
J.J.: Hotch? Are you okay?
Hotch: Do I have a choice?
J.J.: You guys will figure this out. You always do. I'll try to put together some non-specific statement to quell the panic a little.
Hotch: Thanks, J.J.
Prentiss: Hotch? I think you need to see this.
Hotch: What is it?
Prentiss: Youngstown police got a call from this kid who says the unsub took his friend Gary Wynn.
Hotch looks through the glass at the boy with the glare that Hotch supposed was the kid's attempt at looking tough. He then enters the interview room.
Hotch: Sean Cranston?
Sean: Yeah, are you going to find Gary?
Hotch: I'm going to try. I'm Agent Aaron Hotchner with the FBI. How old are you, Sean?
Sean: Fourteen.
Hotch's heart broke at this answer and it showed on his face.
Hotch: When did you eat last?
Sean: A couple of days ago.
Hotch steps out of the interview room and asks that a meal be brought in for Sean and then comes back into the room and sits down across from Sean.
Hotch: How old is Gary?
Sean: He's fourteen too.
Hotch: How long has he been hustling?
Sean: A little longer than me, I guess. I've been on the street about a year.
A state trooper walks in with a tray of food and sets it down in front of Sean.
Hotch: Thank you (to Sean) Tell me what happened and how you know he's missing.
Sean (digging into the food): It was last night. A truck pulled up. Kind of a dark blue maybe or black. Not new. Gary walked up. The guy inside was calling him Tyler. Stuff like that happens a lot. Gary got in and never came back. We get separated a lot at night but we're always together come morning. There's this old, abandoned warehouse we sleep in. Gary never came home.
Hotch: Gary's a runaway too?
Sean: Is that what it's called when you're not allowed at your home?
Hotch: Your parents kicked you out?
Sean: Yeah, turns out some parents are less than thrilled to have a gay son. It was the same for Gary.
Tears start to well up in Sean's eyes.
Sean: Do you think he's still alive? He's the only family I have.
Hotch: We have reason to believe the unsub-the man who took Gary-will keep him a few days before killing him. I need you to think hard if there's anything else about the truck or the driver you can remember.
Sean: I couldn't see the driver at all. I just heard his voice. The truck was a Chevy. Older. Maybe from the '70's. There was a little rust at the bottom of the doors but mostly it looked in pretty good shape. I can't think of anything else. I'm sorry.
Hotch: You've done really well, Sean. We're going to find you a place to sleep tonight. Here's my card in case you remember anything else. Or if you just need anything, call me. I mean it, Sean.
Sean: Thanks Agent Hotchner. Just please find Gary, okay?
