OK so here is the next chapter. Once again I do not own Harry Potter or Criminal Minds.
To my guest reviewer- I am glad you like the story so far. I also know what you mean when you talk about works not being finished. To answer your points. I will be doing more with the HP characters soon. I just really wanted to set up how the team works together on their first case. I can tell you here soon we will be diving back into the world of Harry potter so don't worry. :)
"If he had access to the kid and views him as innocent , it looks like your theory about it being about the mothers is correct Hermione" Rossi stated as they climbed out of the black Suv.
They had arrived at the parking lot of Woodland Park Zoo. In front of them was a silver mini van that belonged to Danni Dorset.
"All the women have little boys. Is it possible he is reliving abuse in his past and viewing the victims as his own mother? Possibly seeking a twisted form of justice?" Hermione asked as she pulled on a pair of gloves to search the vehicle.
"It is quite possible. If his own mother abused him as a child… wait a minute" Morgan stopped talking as he pulled a bright green flyer out of the cars center console " Come have a blast at Pirclino Playgroup. A great place to have fun with your child and meet other parents. First visit is free" He said as he read out the flyer. "Felicia Di Giro had one of these flyers in her kitchen. If the other 3 went to this group that could be where the unsub found his victims."
"And if they only went to the first free visit there would be no record of it." Rossi finished."Where is this group?"
"Address is over near Pikes market place." Morgan said as he looked back down at the neon green flyer.
"Call Hotch let him know we might know how the unsub finds his victims" Rossi said as he headed back to the SUV.
The sign on the window read Pirclino playgroup. There were handprints painted on the sides of the window frame. Behind the desk was a young women with bright pink hair who looked to be about 20 years old. Her hair reminded Hermione of Tonks' bubblegum hair that she often sported.
"Welcome to Pirclino's Playgroup. How can I help you today?" She asked looking at the agents who had just walked in.
"We need to speak to the owner. Are they in?" Rossi asked looking at the women while Morgan and Hermione looked around the room. It was very nice. There were toys in the corner surrounded by beanbag chairs or bright neon colors.
"Yes. The owners name is Mandy Pirclino. She is in the back. Let me go get her for you." The young women answered.
As she walked away Rossi turned to the others. "Perfect place to find women who match his type. People bring their kids here for fun without ever thinking about who is around."
"Excuse me" They heard a voice say "I am Mandy Pirclino. How may I help you?"
The women who had walked up was a grand motherly looking women with blonde hair that was starting to turn white.
"Yes mam my name is SSA David Rossi and this here is SSA Derek Morgan and SSA Hermione Granger. We are with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and we had a few questions we hoped you could answer for us."
"Of course."
"Your flyer was found in the possession of 2 kidnapping victims. Could you tell us more about the free visit?"
"Oh my God, um well we hand those flyers out all the time. When a parent is looking for a good playgroup it can take time. It is not always the first group you go to that fits. So we offer parents the choice to come in and see for themselves if this will be a good fit for their child." Mandy said as she started to turn white.
"Do you take any records of who comes in for a free class even if they don't return?" Hermione asked
"Yes of course that is how we can contact them and ask if they would like to return."
"If we give you a list of names do you think you can look and see if all the women have come here?" Morgan asked the women who was clearly shaken up.
"Yes yes whatever you need. Emma can look up those names." She said as she pointed to the young women with pink hair. As Morgan and Emma left to look up the names she asked "Is this about those women who have been found on the beaches?"
"Right now it is unclear how the women are all connected. He could be targeting them through your service." Rossi said answering the women without giving away too much.
After a few minutes Morgan came back to the group. "Rossi all the women have visited a free class in the last 9 months."
"Oh God" Mandy said as she sunk down in her chair just a little more. She could not believe this.
"Mam I have to ask have you gotten any complaints about strange men around here?" Rossi asked as Hermione went to the corner to get a cup of water for Mandy.
"We are right next to Pikes market. It is a huge tourist attraction in the middle of Seattle. I get a handful of complaints every week." Mandy said as she accepted the water Hermione handed her.
"This person would have been noticed. He does not look threatening but he pays close attention to the children as if he is protecting them. Possibly even looking down upon the mothers if their child is hurt?" Morgan said.
Mandy stopped drinking. "Matt Zelio. He was on the janitorial staff here until 4 months ago."
"What happened 4 months ago?" Asked Hermione
"A little girl was playing and she fell down. It happens all the time when you have a bunch of children under the age of 5 in a smaller space. Matt was so upset he ran to the little girl and then turned to her mother and started yelling at her. He was saying she did needed to watch her child more closely and that she was a bad mother for letting her get hurt. He started saying she abused her child." Mandy said as she stood up and went behind the desk and pulled out a folder. She opened it and handed it to Rossi. "He already had warnings about watching the children. It made some of the parents uncomfortable. I had to let him go."
"There is our stresser" Morgan said as he looked at the file. "This job was more then likely the only thing keeping him together. When that got taken away he lost it."
"Do you have an address for him?" Hermione asked as she took the file from Morgan
"The only address I have is no good. I sent him his last paycheck and it came back. Sorry." Mandy said
"That's alright. If you see him give us a call." Rossi said handing the women a business card with his cell phone number written on it. The 3 agents walked out of the business and headed back to the police station . The rest of the team needed to hear this. They had found the connection and a possible suspect.
OK so here it they have found a suspect. This is my first time trying to write out something like this so I don't know if it is any good. I tried to make sure all plot holes were covered in the case. This is the only time in this story I will write out a whole case. It takes a lot to do so. :) Let me know what you think.
