At 6 am Reid and Morgan's phones went off together with conflicting alert.
With Morgan crashing on the couch and Reid in the bedroom they got ready in record time and walked out of the door together saying.
Reid phone resighted a quote from Albert Einstein. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking that created them," Morgan's alert was a remix of Cooler than Me. both preset as emergency alerts.
"Emergency," They said in unison from opposing rooms.
In the elevator Reid thought out loud. "Garcia's right,"
"About what,"
"Are speaking in union is really annoying," Reid stepped out of the elevator shaking his head.
The team was gathere within minutes. Rossi and Morgan had bad bed head and sweats suit on each with a real suit in hand. But the girls were all made up like they had an hour to prepare.
"How long have you girls been up," Morgan said in astonishment.
"Same as you," JJ said pleased with herself. "But we have year of experience waking up in the middle of the night to run to comsole a best friends' broken heart. All in under five minutes,"
Hotch burst in the room out of breath as if he ran all the way from the hotel. "There has been a third abduction,"
They all went in different direction of the police station calling at one another like they practiced this.
"Was the abduction sight similar," Reid calls out from a far end of the room this stacks of paper in front of him.
"Same ten mile radios as the other abductions," Hotch said from the entrance ready to leave.
"This unsubs can't be very mobile if his hunting ground is roughly twenty miles and the unsub feels this certaion of his victims in there normal routines that only take place here," Rossi said trying to sound rational.
"They might not even need to be mobile they might be using a ruse to lure the victims to his house," JJ pointed out
"Plus a the strip mall is over thirty feet in diameter. In all reality I think this mall is there hunting ground. And if they feels this comfortable here one of them would have reason to know all the short cuts and back room." Morgan said.
"Hold it guys come here," Hotch came to the center of the room to show a paper to the team.
"They were drugged," Emily broke the silence.
"How did we miss this," Morgan said with an edge in his voice.
"This type of sleeping draft often is dissolved by stomach acid in about thirty hour. In fact this partic..." Reid began over explaining.
"So she was abducted less then thirty hour ago," Rossi helped Reid get to the point.
"That is the quickest the Unsubs has ever disposed of a victim before, he's escalating," JJ said.
"Ok Emily, JJ and Rossi go to the neighbourhood the victims are abducted from," Hotch decided on the stop. "Reid ,Morgan and I will stay here and process deliver the profile,"
Morgan pulled out his phone and furiously type a number as the team left.
"Morgan I needed to hear your voice. Ever time I feel i'm getting close to a hit my whole system freezes and I need to reboot the thing and eventually I had to get Kevin to do some serious tech..." Garcia said like a run on sentence.
"Hey Mama take a breath," Morgan said with a smile spreading across his face.
"Ok, ok well I've just started the search. so far no connection to the victims or there families,"
"Can you track the victims credit card, phone use of the second and third group or victims, and find security camera footage for the first group,"
There was series of odd beeps and alarms from the other end.
"Baby we are back in business," Garcia said more like his old perky self. "Oky doky artichokey. Oh this my be something, and of the victims from the second and third group of victims purchased water from a dance studio in the area, and all the victims from the first abduction that is the abduction where everyone was last seen in a coffee shop. From this video camera footage they all seemed to go to the bathroom but they didn't come out,"
"Ok Garcia hold on a second," Morgan said dashing for the door.
"No but I'm..." Garcia pouted for a moment and started digging.
Morgan grabbed Rossi's arm on his way out the door and said quickly. "Check for a way to abducted a person near the bathroom Off Camera," Exaggerating the most important aspects.
Rossi simply nodded and walked out leisurely.
"And Derek, was ever victim was a dancer, because not all went to the same school but like three quarters of the victims go to the academy smack in the middle of his guys comfort zone. have Garcia check and make sure they all were." Hotch said middle of his profile process.
"You got that?" Morgan asked.
"Loud and clear,"
"Thanks Mama, I gotta go," Morgan dashed into the consultant room.
They added this to the profile and presented it. But it was like throwing a Mintos in diet coke.
"We are calling these Unsubs
a first degree abductors, similar to a first degree killers who get off on the planning as well as following through," Hotch began the profile.
"The victims will resemble the people he is trying to protect. If they don't fit the role they are disposed of," Reid said.
"The Unsubs likely has a dark memory surrounding a group of dancers weather it was in a class or a bad dance battle," Morgan said.
"But something has happened to the Unsubs to trigger these killing, or in this case abduct,"
"These guys are meticulous and dangerous. They interact in a dominant submissive partnership, A leopard and a lamb if you will. They are young, athletic and highly delusional. Don't try to take him down single handed, if fifteen close athletic well cooperating teenagers can't do it in a week. The chances a single cop doing it is slim to non,"
"Are you doubting my men," The sheriff protested.
"Not in the slittest," Hotch responded quickly. "We need to instill that these men plans every detail of every possible outcome. They are not people to be taken lightly,"
"Any questions,"
About three or four officers didn't raise their hands. Reid Morgan and Hotch glanced at each other like. "Newbs,"
After a dozen questions (half of which were anger or defensive) and at least three dozen left to go. Rossi, JJ and Emily entered the station to their teammates took a sighs of relief.
"The comfort zone is a happy shopping mall," Rossi said like he wanted to deliver better news. "There were scratch marks on the back or the back of the bathroom door and the employ entrance in the entryway like a pulley system," Rossi added looking directly at Morgan.
"Can you show the camera footage for the coffee shop," Morgan looked passed everyone and got Garcia's attention on the monitor.
"Sure thing my pretty's," The scene chanced to the night of the first abduction.
It was a calm night as usual, there was only one employ working the front desk that night. Reid jumped half a mile when he recognized the worker lucky he was standing in the back so no one appear to have noticed. A group of teenagers in colourful sweatpants and tank tops entered laughing before taking notice to the girl sitting behind the counter. A smile spread over her till she was in tears They all engaged in pleasant conversation before they took turn ordering and. The counter girl vanished behind the back door and the teens found there regular places. After a few minutes of waiting on the food about half the group went to the bathroom, three left before the food arrived. After the remaining kids finished eating they followed there path to the bathroom and vanished behind the doors.
"Without sound and the other cameras under repair, these images are all they had to go on,"Hotch said avoiding pointless questions.
"Now we have a possible suspect list," Reid announced.
"What?!"The team asked.
"Every employ working that night in the café or in surrounding shops. Or the first person to leave the group,"
"I guess it would give her a minute to set up," Emily said in the midst of comprehending Reid's train of thought.
"This person is local, no more then that. This community is there second home. No one would question there presents or have concerns if theey were in the back room," Reid continued buzzing around the room adding data. "This person it there so often he knows these victims schedule to a T. And has the confidants to see these actions through without people noticing for some time. He would be long gone before considered a suspect,"
"Where were you five minutes ago," Hotch finally stopped Reid. but olny for a split second.
Reid literally grabbed the sheriff at the entrence and told him the news. And ran back saying "One profile done three to go,"
