"Conference in ten," Hotch called out from outside the room.
"Well it was too good to be true," Garcia sighed.
"We better start getting ready," JJ said.
"Great," Morgan groaned.
Emily and Rossi are already sitting in the round table.
"What's the deal?" Morgan asked.
"Sorry if it's sudden but we got a call Garcia if you don't mind please," he called.
"Alright, there has been three murders, their bodies turn up mutilated and tortured," Garcia explains as she hands out the files.
"A sadist maybe?" Emily asks.
"I don't think so. A sadist would usually have sexual contact with the victims and in the autopsy reports there was no sign of sexual assault as of now though," Rossi says.
"It could be a guy with a disorder probably mental," Morgan chips in.
"True but someone like that wouldn't be so organized," Emily remarks.
"Everyone wheels up in 20," Hotch announced.
They all left the office and got to the airstrip. They were already on board the plane heading to Atlanta, Georgia. After a few silent and confusing minuets Reid decided to speak.
"Tobias Hankel wasn't," he whispers.
The whole team looks at him.
"He had a personality disorder," Reid continues.
"Reid you don't have to," Hotch places a hand on his shoulder.
Years ago he was held hostage by Tobias Hankel. He was tortured, beaten, and almost killed by Charles Hankel and Raphael, Tobias' other personas. It was difficult to talk about it with his team. Especially after Tobias tried helping, but instead got Reid addicted to Dilaudid. Now that he was thinking about it he realized that they were going back to the start…back to where he encountered him.
"What if it's a copycat?" Reid suggests.
"What do you mean Pretty boy?" Morgan asks.
"The MO is practically the same except the difference is the torture," Reid explains.
"Maybe he's right," JJ says.
"Oh he is," Garcia says from the computer screen.
"What is it Garcia?" Rossi asks.
"Ok this is what I could find…Before each kill there is a call and it states that someone is going to get killed if they don't hurry. However, like boy genius said there are differences. There are no two personas or anything; it's just one single guy. And there are videos but he posts it on a different site from Tobias," Garcia says.
"One killer…one personality," Hotch murmurs.
"Exactly," Garcia finishes.
"Do you have the recorded calls?" Rossi asks.
"I only have the first one," she replies.
[Police Dispatcher]: Hello 911 what's your emergency?
[Caller]: There are two people…two people and a kid.
[Police Dispatcher]: What do you mean are they injured?
[Caller]: They are going to die.
[Police Dispatcher]: Hello? Did you just say they are going to die?
[Caller]: Get this clear…I'm Raphael.
[Screams in the background…disconnected.]
"Hey…sorry if I bring this up but is there a difference between them Reid?" Rossi asks.
Rossi wasn't on the team yet which was why he was asking. Yet he was filled in by the rest of the team when he first arrived.
"Yes, Tobias called and gave them the address first," Reid answers shifting uncomfortably.
"Then if it is a copycat he's horrible," Rossi comments.
Reid gets up and walks over to the couch to lie down.
"Morgan go," Hotch orders.
"…I'm Raphael," Reid whispers.
"Hey baby you okay?" Morgan asks sitting down the arm on the couch.
"What if he's back?" Reid asks fearful.
"No babe, Raphael was killed remember…you shot him," Morgan soothes him.
"I think Reid should sit this one out," Hotch says.
"No!" Reid replies quickly getting up.
"Pretty-"
"No…I'll be fine," Reid promises.
The team arrives at the station from years back. The officers notice the team arriving and the lead sheriff greets them at the door.
"Been a while," He shakes Hotch's hand.
"Indeed," Hotch replies.
"Where can we set up?" Rossi asks.
"There's a conference room," the sheriff points to an empty room to his right.
"Everything is already set. Is there anything else you need?" an officer asks.
"No this is fine but maybe the rest of the files and current reports might help," JJ says.
"Alright will do," The officer leaves as they enter the room.
"Back to the beginning from 6 1/2 years ago," Reid sighs.
