Do I know You-Ch 4
Derek and the team spent most of the night in the police station going over the victims files in hopes that they would find something that would help them find this sick bastard and hopefully Penelope. Hotch looked down at his watch and said, "why don't we head to the hotel and try to get a few hours sleep we are all exhausted and need a few hours rest".
The team all nodded their heads as they grabbed their things and headed toward their cars, back at the hotel Derek ended up sharing a room with Dave while Hotch and his wife Emily shared a room and JJ and her husband Reid share another. Rossi walked out of the bathroom and saw Derek standing at the window staring out into space.
He walked over and said, "maybe you should try to get some sleep Morgan", he turned and looked at Dave and said, "I can't sleep Dave, I can't eat, I can't do anything until I know for sure if this bastard has my baby girl". Derek walked over to the table and pulled out his tablet and started thumbing through all of the victims statements and looked up long enough to see Dave pulling the covers back on the bed.
Derek looked up and said, "I think I am going to go over the statements and files some more Rossi", Dave nodded his head and said, "alright but if you need anything just let me know". Derek smiled and said, "I will man, I will", Dave then laid down and closed his eyes while Derek took another look at the backgrounds of the victims to see if they had anything in common.
After an hour he pulled out his cell and dialed the analyst and after a few rings he heard Kevins voice and said, "I know it's late but can you run a quick background check and see if any of the women had anything in common". Kevin said, "they were all in different states, what could they have in common"?, Derek said, ", check to see if any of them bought a new car or house before they disappeared, or it could be something as simple as they had work done on their car or computer or something".
Kevin said, "alright I will check it out and get back to you as soon as I can", Derek said, "thanks Kevin I appreciate it", Kevin smiled as the call ended and he continued to go deeper into the background of the victims. Derek sat back in the chair and closed his eyes for just a second and it didn't take long before he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning Mandy woke up to an empty bed, she smiled as she sat up and looked around the room, she then looked down at Thomas's pillow and saw a note. She picked the note up and started reading it out loud, Mandy, you looked so beautiful sleeping this morning I didn't have the heart to wake you up".
She rolled her eyes as she continued reading the note, I had a few errands to run before we leave for the day, please be up and ready and I will be back around noon". She yawned before she read the rest, P.S, please bring that sexy black night gown with you because I can't wait to rip it off of you tonight, love you Thomas".
She got up and quickly went to check on the girls, she smiled when she saw them all peacefully sleeping, she walked closer to their cribs and as she looked down at them she couldn't help but notice that they all had a birthmark on their neck. She stood back and said, "that's strange, Thomas has the same birthmark".
She then realized that she only had a few hours to get herself and the three babies dressed and ready, as she headed back to their room she knew that if she didn't have everything ready the way he wanted it that when they got back he would lock her up in the basement and punish her like he had several other times before.
Derek woke up to the sound of his cell ringing, he picked it up off the table and said, "Morgan", Kevin said, "sorry to call so early but I found something that all of the women had in common". Derek sat up in the chair and said, "what was the one thing that they all had in common Kevin", he pulled up the files on his screen and said, "a couple of days before they disappeared they all three had their computers repaired by the very same man".
Derek said, "what was his name"?, Kevin said, "his name is Thomas Smith and he lives at 223 Harbor Crest Drive, which is a 10 miles away from where you are right now". Derek smiled and said, "thanks Kevin, can you send the address to my cell and let the rest of the team know"?, Kevin smiled and said, "I sure can".
Rossi walked into the room and Derek said, "that was Kevin all 3 victims before they disappeared had their computers worked on and it was by the same man". Rossi said, "what was the mans name"?, Derek said, "his name is Thomas Smith and Kevin was sending his address to our phones", Dave grabbed his coat and said, "well then what are we waiting for".
About 30 minutes later Derek and Rossi pull up in front of Thomas and Mandys house, they get out and and head up on the porch, Derek raises his hand and knocks on the door. Rossi looks around and says, "he sure has plenty of room here to keep and torture women", Derek nodded his head in agreement.
Mandy walked through the house and looked through the peephole and saw 2 men standing on the porch, she opened the door and smiled, Derek and Dave's mouths flew open. Derek said, "ba ba baby girl", Mandy looked at him puzzled and said, "I'm sorry, do I know you"?
