Cat POV
Cat: *sneaking back into the house and heads to the kitchen* *thinking to self* omg my head hurts…why the hell to I go to Javier's house last night? *leans on counter with head in hands*
Derek: *walking in* hey, where's the food?
Cat: I see you finally came back
Derek: what do you mean? I went out for a morning run
Cat: bull shit…you're still wearing your outfit from last night
Derek: *looking dumb* well I was coming to see if there was food then I was going to go running
Cat: you suck at lying…you just got dropped off by those two girls you saw making out last night
Derek: ok and where were you?
Cat: *with spite in mind* on Javier's dick *walks out the kitchen then turns around* I suggest you go change…we have interviews to do and 4 other girls to find *walks out*
Derek: *thinking to self* I can't believe she just said that
*in the office*
Hotch: alright, our suspects held their silence all night but we finally got them to talk…Dave you take Brandon…I'll take Jerry….JJ, you and Cat will go down to the hospital and get a positive ID of both suspects from Rosie and see if she can remember where she escaped from…the rest of you be on standby for when a location is revealed
Teams: got it

Cat: hey Rosie
Rosie: hey Cat, hey JJ
JJ: we have some good news
Rosie: what

Rosie: really?!
JJ: yep, but we need you to positively ID the two *hands her the first set of mug shots* can you circle and initial by your abductor
Rosie: yes *circles and initials Brandon's picture*
Cat: ok *hands her the second set of mug shots* can you do the same for his partner
Rosie: ok *circles and initials Jerry's picture* are you sure you got them?
JJ: yes, we made the arrest last night
Cat: we also have a couple of questions
Rosie: ok
JJ: can you tell us what you remember about the place you escaped from
Rosie: I remember the room was small…it was about the size of a dorm room…when I escaped I ran into a huge room…kind of like a common area…I ran towards the front door and ran down the stairs then out another door into the street
Cat: did you recognize the area when you got outside?
Rosie: kind of…it was near the club I was at that night…it was one of those places that you'd find if you knew where to look
JJ: if we took you to that area would you be able to find it?
Rosie: yes
Rossi POV
*in the first interrogation room*
Rossi: alright Brandon…tell me why
Brandon: ….do you have any idea what it's like to have something one minute then the next minute it's gone?
Rossi: yes I do
Brandon: Melanie was right there….SHE WAS RIGHT THERE! Smiling, laughing at me and my brother, looking down at her growing stomach…THEN SHE WAS GONE!
Rossi: I know…I know what it's like to lose someone you love…but you need to tell me where you and your brother are keeping these women
Brandon: I don't know
Rossi: what do you mean you don't know…you took the first three to the place yourself
Brandon: no, I was responsible for luring them out of the club…my brother drove
Rossi: explain to me how you have this plan going on with your brother and you have no idea where you're going
Brandon: I don't know
Rossi: then tell me what you do know
Brandon: I know I want a lawyer
Rossi: alright *walks out*
Reid: anything?
Rossi: he claims his brother was behind it
Reid: he could be…think about it…his brother was the one driving that day
Seiko: yea, maybe he orchestrated the plan as a way of helping his brother
Rossi: maybe…lets see if Hotch can get anything
Hotch POV
Hotch: alright, tell me about this plan between you and your brother
Jerry: what do want to know?
Hotch: how about where are the other four girls?
Jerry: ha, I'll tell you this…I want a lawyer
Hotch: fine *walks out*
*office space*
Hotch: did you get anything Dave?
Rossi: he claims it was his brother's idea then he asked for a lawyer…what about you?
Hotch: Jerry is definitely the master mind…he asked for a lawyer too *phone rings* Hotch
JJ: hey, we just talked to Rosie and she positively ID-ed the two brothers
Hotch: good
JJ: she also said that the place she escaped from is near the club she was at…she said that if she was in that area she'd be able to pinpoint where she escaped from
Hotch: alright, see if you can get her released and head over there…we'll meet you by that club
JJ: got it *hangs up*

Derek: I don't get it *looking at Cat*

Garcia: *stern voice* get your sexy chocolate ass up and go talk to her
Derek: fine *joins Cat on the couch* hey
