It was just reaching 6 o clock when Reid had put the final piece of the puzzle together. The only thing that connected what the unsub was doing, or thought he was doing, in the rationality of his crimes. It was Audrey Foster, Candors finest, and only, 911 dispatcher who had been feeding our unsub the details of their small town police departments responding time in an effort to a greater crime of destruction on the town. Siblings who had grown up in this town all their lives always being looked down upon due to their drunk mother and the numerous drunk men she's bring home from downtown who started midnight disputes out of drunken stupidity and god knows what other drugs.
The idea alone of the kids growing up in that kind of environment alone was scary enough but what their bond brought upon this small town would forever haunt those streets. Like the sites of where Jack the Ripper brutality killed the lone prostitutes in London way back when Serial Killers were just beginning to appear out of random. Out of backgrounds that may or may not have molded what might have been innocent children from the get-go to grow up with zero remorse or empathy for the pain they brought not only on their victims but the interrelationships of their victims.
I'm not saying anything is set in stone as these type of households show many ranging effects of children in their adulthood but the scale does reach from Sociopathic cold blooded killers to Child Abuse therapist who use their trauma to help others. In all dismissal set aside, sometimes shit happens and we have to go from there. What happens may be beyond our control but with set intentions it doesn't have to be. "I'll never be like them. Ever." Would be the positive example for kids in that very same situation.
As the team single filed onto the Jet Emily looked down at her watch to see that it was now 11:45 as the pursuit of the unsub was more difficult to manage given that neither Josh Ludson nor Alicia would give each other up and it took a lot more convincing to either one of them to convince the other was already spilling the grimey and grotesque details of their crimes, selling each other out in other words.
A part of her wished that Hotch would've let them bunk at the towns small motel which if they're lucky even have 6 rooms available but the truth is they've left cases a lot earlier and a lot later than this. There was no reason to expand their resources from the Bureau if there was no urgent need for it and so they would get most of their sleep tonight on the jet which always seemed be shorter on the way back as though it wasn't a short ride there in the first place.
After only about 20 minutes of being in the air Emily had unraveled a small blanket from her to-go bag which she whipped out in the open space in front of her until it cascaded down over her like a air tight seal. The fabric was warm despite how many times she washed it and it still smelt like her dryer sheets from the last time she washed it.
Out of seemingly nowhere JJ peeked around the corner of where Emily laid all cuddled up in her seat, the blanket falling to the floor of the jet but at least she was covered. "Hey," she said in a small tone, careful not to wake Reid who laid spread out on the couch where JJ once slept before realizing how vulnerable it was to the turbulence.
"Hey," Emily said back sounding more excited than JJ was expecting. "What's up?"
"Can't sleep," JJ admits as she takes a seat across from Emily without asking and nor would she have had to as the offer was ready to leave Emily's lips before JJ took the action upon her self. "Take a seat," She was ready to say but didn't have to.
"Yeah that case got to me too." Emily confessed before JJ could even explain what was keeping her from sleeping. Which in part was true but another underlying reason kept JJs thought a constant flow and she figured if she couldn't beat it to accept it. Her thoughts consisting mostly of Emily and she didn't understand that nor did she understand how they came to a stop when she met Emily's curious yet excited brown orbs.
