A/N: Here´s chapter three! Enjoy :)
When the team landed they already had SUVs waiting for them. Hotch, Rossi and Derek took one, leaving JJ, Emily and Reid the other one.
"Hey guys, how many rooms did Garcia booked for us?" Emily asked them, JJ was beside her as the copilot and Spencer was in the back, he was about to say something but JJ beat him.
"I think she did the usual arrangement, this time." She added at the end. Once Garcia ´accidentally´ booked just two rooms instead of three, so the guys had to share a room and the girls had their usual room for the two of them. Since that day they have been very careful with the rooms and with Penelope. "It´s okay, I think now she tells Hotch about it before we go out for a new case."
"Yeah and Morgan always asks her before leaving the BAU. He said and I quote ´There´s no way in hell I´m gonna go through something like that ever again! ´ And I have to agree with him.
"Oh c´mon Spence, it couldn´t had been that horrible, right?" The blonde had turned around so she could look at him when talking.
"You weren´t there JJ, it was the four of us in one room with two beds." His face and voice reflected the horrible memories he was sure, were never going to disappear.
Emily just laughed, Rossi had say something similar to her not long after they came back home from the case and his face had a similar expression.
…..
"Hey Sam." Paul was getting a little bit impatient, he didn´t like the idea of having the FBI there to help, but he knew if Sam had called them it was because he knew they actually needed help, still he didn't like it. "Aren´t the feds suppose to be here already?"
"They should be arriving soon, don´t worry." Detective Daniels was not someone to get nervous easily, but the idea of having to see JJ was getting to him. He knew he´ll have to talk to her at some point about other things beside the case and he was afraid of it. They had a good relationship now, but it was hard anyway, talking over the phone, sending mails was one thing, but they hadn´t seen each other in years and this was not the way he wanted to do it.
Sam was so deep in his thoughts he didn´t notice the team arriving until Paul told him. He stood from his sit and went to greet them.
"Agent Hotchner I assume, Detective Sam Daniels, this is Detective Paul Smith." Sam said shaking his hand. He didn´t want to look at the rest of the team yet, because then he was going to see her and well he wouldn´t be able to look away from her.
"Yes. Let me present you the rest of the team." Hotch then turned a bit so the Detectives could see the rest of the BAU. "These are Agent Rossi, Prentiss, Morgan, Dr. Reid and you already know Agent Jareau." No one said anything when Hotch mentioned JJ. "Our technical analyst will be in contact with you as well."
"A pleasure…Hello Jenny." The look in her eyes made him realize maybe he shouldn´t have called her like that. ´Crap! Way to go idiot, she never liked that name.´ he thought.
"Hey Sam." Was the only thing she said to him before Hotch asked him for a place where they could get to work.
"Um yeah sure, just come over here." He indicated them to a room with a white board and a table in the center with case files. There was a desk with a coffee machine, something the team appreciated. "Detective Smith left you all we have so far."
"Thank you. Agents Prentiss and Morgan are going to the ME and Agent Rossi and I would like to go to the last crime scene, if that´s okay?" Hotch knew the key to have a good relationship with the locals was to try to involve them in everything they were going to do and also to ask without actually asking.
"I can take you to the site." Sam offered, he was trying to be far away from the police station from now, he was being a coward and he knew it but still, he thought he could do it, be there with her, but he still wasn´t prepare, JJ noticed it.
"JJ, I want you to go see the family of the last victim first then go with the rest, I told Emily to help you as soon as she and Morgan finish with the ME." The three men walked out the police station not long after.
"You okay JJ?" Reid had noticed the exchange as well and was worry about her.
"I´m fine Spence." She wasn´t and she knew he knew, but was glad he opted to say nothing about it, at least not for now. "I better get going, have fun with the map." The blue eyed agent winked and left, leaving a flushed Doctor Reid without words. ´I´m going crazy´ he thought, she had that effect on him and he loved it.
….
"What can you tell us doc?" Morgan asked the ME. They had just arrived and needed answers fast and she was happy to help them.
"Well agents I don´t know how much you know so I´m just going to say it all." Both agents just nodded, indicating for her to continue. She graved the files and began. "The first victim was beaten a lot, she sustained several bruising mostly in her face and torso, apparently she was hit with a blunt object in her mid section and left leg, both hits caused her great damage, she got a broken leg and three broken ribs. The bruising in her face was not cause by this object but rather by hand or I should say fits."
"She must have been in a lot of pain." Emily said she had been listening to what the ME had said and she was even more disgusted with the guy, if that was even possible.
"The second victim had similar injuries but the beating was not as severe as the first woman. She did have lost of cuts in her back and stomach, some deeps other not so much and it seems she was electrocuted as well."
"Shit." Was all Derek could say, he and Emily felt the same way by now.
"Exactly," The doctor couldn´t agree more with the expression. "Now the third victim had just one variation."
"What?" Emily asked her.
"Well the first two victims died because of their wounds, Susan died because she had internal bleeding, Amelia had a large and deep cut in her side that caused her to bleed to death, but Kathy Savini was strangled." Derek and Emily exchanged a look. "Finally all three victims had their eyes glued together post mortem."
"Can you tell us with what?"
"Not exactly, I just can tell you it was some kind of super strong glue, like the ones from the commercials."
"It means anyone can have access to it." Prentiss muttered. "Did the eyes suffer some damage?"
"Nothing, they were intact beside the glue."
"Thank you for your time Doc." Morgan and Emily were about to leave when the Doctor stopped them.
"Wait agents, there´s something else. Miss Savini TOD was two days ago."
"You mean she died two days before he got rid of her?"
"That´s exactly what I´m saying." Both agents went silent, after a couple of seconds they said goodbye and left the place.
Once in the SUV Morgan began the talk.
"Why did he strangle Kathy? What´s different about her?"
"I don´t know, maybe she said something to him or acted in a different way than the other two victims."
"He doesn´t leave evidence behind, he stalks them, makes them suffer in many different ways." By now Morgan was starting the car. "He also killed the second victim two days before leaving her outside. This means he had, at least, three days to stalk and kidnap the last victim. "
"He gets off with the pain he cause them, he´s a sociopath." Emily said finally, but there was still something bothering both agents. "Why would he glue their eyes?"
"I was asking myself the same question princess." Both agents exchanged one last look before going back to the police station.
…..
At the last crime scene Hotch and Rossi confirmed what they already knew.
"He really wants people to find the bodies; lots of people come to visit this area as well as the other crime scenes." Rossi declared.
"Yeah, the three scenes have visitors almost every day. They are well known places." Detective Sam added.
"I don´t think we can say anything else about the place, let´s go to the other two places just to be sure and then let´s go back to the station to see what the others have found." Hotch said to both men, they agreed with him and followed him back to the cars.
…..
Hotch had ordered JJ to go talk with the family of the last victim, but according to Garcia Jenna Green had no family leaving in the area and apparently her friends were her only family now.
"Excuse me." JJ said to the receptionist showing the woman her badge. "I´m agent Jareau with the FBI, I need to talk with the coworkers of Jenna Green."
"Oh yes of course, wait a second please." The old lady said while picking the phone. "Yes, okay." She said to the person over the phone. "Agent Jareau, follow me please." JJ did as told and the lady guided her to a room with a glass door and windows where a man was waiting for her.
"Agent Jareau," The man in front of her said. "I´m Jonathan Reich, Jenna´s boss and friend."
"What can you tell me about her family?"
"Well Jenna´s parents died four years ago and her brother is currently in Rome. I´ve been trying to contact him but he doesn´t answer. They never had a good relationship, it´s been years since the last time they spoke. We were….we are her only family." The man was holding tears by now.
"Did she say anything to you in the past couple of days that was strange of her? Did she act weird? Maybe felt like she was being follow or something like that?"
"She acted like her usual self, not weird behavior or anything. I do remember in one occasion…we went out for drinks and she said she had felt someone watching her a couple of days before."
"Did she say when or where?" For JJ this was just the confirmation to the theory of the killer stalking the victims first.
"No no, she just said it was during the night, went she was going back home." His eyes got wider, he understood why she was asking these specific questions and now he felt worse. "I should have said something to her; maybe even walk her to her car." JJ recognized the guilt in his eyes and also noticed the way his body reacted to his words, he wasn´t just a friend, he was something more.
"Sir I need to ask you something and I need you to tell me the truth." He just moved his head in an affirmative way. "Are the two of you in a relationship?"
He raised his head. "Yes, we love each other but we didn´t want to say anything because, well I´m her boss."
"I understand." She gave him a reassuring smile. "Is there something else you can tell me about her? What she liked to do outside work?"
"Well not much, she likes to go to the supermarket." He chuckled. "Most of her free time was spent with me or the rest of her friends. She´s a great person Agent Jareau, she´s kind and lovely and everyone at work loves her, so does the people she cares for." Now the tears were freely falling. "Promise me you will find her Agent."
"I can´t promised that sir. What I can do promise you is, that we would do everything we can to find her." She squeezed his harm in a caring manner before leaving the place.
"I really hope we find her soon." JJ muttered to herself before climbing in the SUV and heading to the next place. What she didn´t notice was the man watching her from the coffee across the street. ´Interesting.´ He thought before paying for his coffee.
"Hey Em you finished yet?" JJ asked her friends while driving to the house of their thirds victim. It was the closest one from where she was.
"Yes, we just did. Morgan is going to drop me off at the Rogers´ house now."
"Okay great, I´m heading to the Savini´s. See you later." She hung up and began the dreadful journey to the house. ´This one is really going to suck´.
