I'm Here For You

Chapter 24

"You called me, oh wise one?" Garcia asked, popping up on the computer screen of the BAU's jet. The team smiled at the analyst.

"We were just about to start a basic profile" Hotch told the blonde woman. Garcia grabbed her fluffy pink pen and tapped the end of it on a note pad in front of her.

"Well then I am ready when you are sir" the technical analyst said, pushing her glasses up on the bridge of her nose.

"Okay, so there's probably two unsubs. Both male, both strong enough to subdue a screaming 10 year old" Morgan started, glancing down at the file in front of him.

"Clearly they are both sadists that get off on raping and murdering little kids" Emily added, her stomach churning at the sight of the kids lying dead on the morgue's silver tables. She glanced over at her girlfriend who was sitting next to her at the table, and wasn't too surprised to find that her facial expression matched that of her own.

"One of the unsubs probably likes girls and the other one probably likes boys, seeing as they've taken both genders" J.J said, forcing herself to look away from the pictures in front of her. The rest of the team nodded.

"I'd say that the more dominant partner has the affliction for boys, because they've taken five boys but only three girls" Reid said. Garcia jotted something down onto her notepad.

"We're probably looking for someone who works with children, so I need you to run all of the kids names and see if any men pop up in more than one of their backgrounds Garcia" Hotch told the blonde. Garcia nodded, scribbling furiously on her paper.

"That will take all day, but I will get you that information boss man. Anything else you need?" she asked, holding the fluffy pink pen by her face. Hotch shook his head.

"That's it for now" he said. Garcia nodded, smiling.

"Alright then. Be safe my loves. Garcia out" she said, hitting a button on her keyboard. The screen on the wall went black and Hotch turned to his team.

"Well, that's it until we land. I suggest you all get some sleep now because we need to hit the ground running. Time is ticking and we need to find Jackson before these bastards can do any more damage than they already have" the man told his team, walking over to the couch and taking a seat next to Rossi, who was already on his way to dream land.

"I guess we should try and get some sleep" Alex said from her spot next to Morgan. J.J nodded at the woman who sat across from her, shifting closer to her girlfriend. Emily wrapped an arm around the woman's shoulders.

"Sounds like a good idea to me" the raven haired woman said, placing a kiss on the blonde's head and letting her eyes fall shut.

The team didn't stop running from the time their feet made contact with the Denver International Airport runway until it was almost two in the morning. They had spent the majority of the afternoon and evening interviewing the families of the victims, as well as the teachers and some of the other students from the daycares that they had attended.

Garcia's results had come in around midnight, and she had found that three men kept showing up in almost all of the children's backgrounds. Melvin Thomas, a local pediatrician, Patrick Rodgers, the head of the cleaning company hired to clean over half of the daycares, and Nick Gibson, a substitute teacher that had filled in at all but two of the victim's daycares.

Hotch had sent the team back to the hotel around 1:30 in the morning, after J.J had almost fallen asleep on their files as they were attempting to look into the backgrounds of their suspects. The blonde had argued that she was fine, but all Hotch did was roll his eyes and send them packing.
