Chapter Eight
Author: I got a review asking how the Unsub kept getting in, well if you remember chapter three or four you'll see the Unsub uses hotel uniforms to sneak in and out. A warning for this chapter; Hotch might be a bit out of character but don't worry I will explain why(in the the next chapter...ish).
Disclaimer: I don't really understand why I must state the obvious but here you go; I don't own Criminal minds
The Unsub, Nicky decided he didn't like the black man; he was always hanging around his angel never leaving her for more than a second but the odd woman had grown on him. Nicky found her funny, also the odd woman could have been an angel when she was young and not yet ruined by the clay. Nicky was going to take back his little angel...maybe he'd take the odd woman too...
A smile spread on his lips at the thought.
"Mr. Manathy" a girl, April said handing him some paper "I finished the test early so can I go?"
Nicky Manathy nodded an okay to his student.
"Thanks Mr. Manathy" April said smiling "you're the best!"
Nicky relaxed back into his chair and watch his seventh grade class as they finished their math test.
His smile grew. The FBI probably thought he was with the kindergartners in room 204 teaching "the itsy-bitsy spider" when in reality he was enlightening young minds by teaching math. Sure he volunteered at that daycare to find his angels but they didn't keep a record so there was truly no way they would ever find him.
"I'm done too Mr. Manathy" another student, Jamie said handing over his test to Nicky.
"Good. You can go"
"Thanks man, you're the best teacher ever"
'Oh I know' Nicky thought smugly to himself as he placed Jamie's test on top of April's.
A man watched the news on his laptop seeing a reporter once again tell the sad tale of Penny Hander and talk nonstop about the kidnapper/killer who they were calling the "angel taker". They would have called him "angel maker" if there hadn't already been an angel maker.
"…If you know anything please don't hesitate to call our tip line the number is (#)-###-###-####…"
The man picked up the phone and dialed "there's a body in front of that hotel the FBI is staying at. Hope you like my present, you folks need something to take your mind off that pesky 'angel taker'. By the way really dumb name I hope you come up with a better one for me." The man chuckled "and don't even try to trace this phone it's a disposable"
The man throw the phone away before the poor guy on tip line duty could say a word. Standing the man nodded to fellow patrons before leaving the restaurant.
"Is there really a dead person outside?" Penny asked as Garcia closed the curtains.
"Yes and don't you even try and peek. You've been through enough without this"
Penny nodded "Okay. Is the killer the same person that took me?" Penny asked hugging herself at the memory of the nightmare.
"No"
Garcia's cell started to ring she answer "h-" but she was cut off before she could finish her usual funny 'intimate' greeting.
"Garcia do you have any leads with the names JJ gave you?" Hotch asked impatiently.
"the names JJ got from the daycare guy…I have nothing"
"Tell me there backgrounds"
"But none of them match the profil-"
"Tell me"
"Okay, okay," she muttered starting up her laptop "Andrew Devom: age 24 he-"
"To young. Next"
Garcia held back a sigh. She knew he wanted to finish this case before he had them take on this new one but couldn't he be a bit nicer about it? "Daniel Grey: age 36. He works at Ozzy's car wash-"
"Next"
"Kevin Jarum: age 73-"
"To old. Next"
"Kenny Lorfy: age 54. Works as an accountant-"
"Next"
"Nicky Manathy: age 42. Works as a grad school math teacher. Was widowed at 37 and left to raise his four year old daughter Angela on his own-"
"Next"
"He is the closest one to the profile on the list"
"the profile said the Unsub would have no living relatives. Next"
'the profile isn't perfect' Garcia thought as she continued
"Hank Pepor: age 40. He's a children's fiction writer. He's currently living with his mother, Ms. Pe-"
"Next"
"Who is she?" Rossi asked looking sadly at the young girl on the autopsy table.
The coroner, Olive Steghen looked up from her notes "her name was April Feern, ten years old yet she was in the seventh grade" the coroner sighed "she was a bright girl"
"Was the beating cause of death?"
The girl was beaten all over expect her head that was left untouched not even a single red lock of hair out of place, her teeth were all in place, and her fingertips. It was like the Unsub wanted them to know who she was.
"looks like she was injected with a high amount of bleach then beaten postmortem" Olive pointed at a group of fist impression "all of the blows had no rage behind them they were delivered with enough forced to leave a mark but no more then that"
Rossi nodded looking at the poor girl "what's that?" He asked as something on April Feern's wrist caught his eye.
"That is a letter carved in her skin"
"What does it say?"
Olive turned the corpse's arm so Rossi could see.
Rossi read aloud "'A'"
Nicky Manathey couldn't believe it: His star student was dead.
He had been watching the news to see what else the FBI knew about him when the story turned from the 'angle taker' to 'April Feern's murder'. Nicky couldn't go through this again the loss of someone dear to him at least not alone he would go to his angles, that was way he had angles.
"Yes I'll go to my angels" Nicky's face turned to stone as he whispered "after that I'm coming after you. No one can take my precious people way" he vowed "No. One."
The man was quite happy with the outcome of his little present; The FBI where running about like headless chickens, the people were even more scared, and the 'angel taker' would act rashly to take back the spotlight.
The man smiled crookedly 'this gonna be one hell of a ride' he thought as he started his car to trail after his next victim.
Author: is a second Unsub to much?(the first Unsub is now being called by his first name "Nicky", so "the man" is the new Unsub) if so post in the reviews; "yes" for this new Unsub to stick around or "no" for me to get rid of him quick. But choose wisely the fate of this story rests in your hands!
