32. Chapter 32

JJ and Hotch were working with Sheriff Larkin preparing the proposed press release when one of the 911 operators rushed into the conference room.

"Sheriff," she gasped. "A cruiser has already been dispatched and is on the way, but I thought I should tell you immediately. It's happened – What we were expecting – Another woman has been abducted!"

"When? Where?" Hotch stood up and pulled out his cell phone.

"About 10 minutes ago, at the strip mall located at Eckles Road and Woodward Trail," the operator replied. "An employee in one of the stores witnessed it and immediately called it in. As I said, a car has already been dispatched and is on its way over."

"Sheriff?" JJ looked over at the lawman.

"Is the witness still there?" the sheriff questioned.

"Yep – Her name is Heather Louis and she's in The Music Box Store waiting to speak with you," the operator confirmed.

"Do you know where that is?" Hotch was pushing a speed dial button on his cell phone as he spoke.

"Oh Yes! Get in your vehicle and follow me," the sheriff replied as he headed out the door. "We are going to get this SOB!"

"Morgan," Hotch called into the phone as he followed the sheriff out the door. "Where are you and Rossi? We have another abduction."

"Okay," he continued after hearing the response. "Meet us at the abduction site. I will be sending directions to your phone shortly. And, bring Reid and Blake with you."

"What is it?" Rossi questioned as Morgan closed up his phone.

"Another abduction," was the brief response. "Address is being sent to our phones."

"Sorry," Morgan turned to Cynthia Newton. "We're going to have to delay our tour of your lab until a later date."

"Another woman had been abducted?" the tech questioned. "GO – You need to work on that first. The lab will still be here when you get back."

"Where were you when I was married to my second wife?" Rossi asked with a smile. "You definitely could have taught her something."

"Second wife?" Cynthia questioned.

"Of only three," Rossi protested. "That's not a lot!"

"What about Reid and Blake?" he asked Morgan as they headed out the conference room door.

"I'm on it!" Morgan replied, as he pushed a button on his cell phone.

"Blake," he spoke into the phone. "Where are you and Reid? Okay – We need to leave –Now! There has been another abduction. Rossi and I will meet you in the parking lot by the SUV."

"One thing puzzles me," Rossi commented as they hurried out to the parking lot. "Up until now this guy has been extremely disciplined – One victim every six months. Why is he grabbing another victim this soon?"

"Well, either this is yet another unsub or something must have triggered it," was Morgan's reply. "Either way, I am sure we will soon have our answer."
