Abigail POV
"Our Unsub is a confident, alpha male," Emily starts us off. "He's white. He's between the ages of 25 and 30,"
"He's in excellent physical shape, to overpower women, and also to feed his self-image," I add.
"He has an obsession with cleaning. He probably works in some service industry wiping up after others, convinced everyone looks down on him. His change in himself and his victimology reflects that," Rossi explains before letting Derek take over.
"This is the kind of guy who wants to stand out in a crowd. He's taken a class in how to pick up women, so he'll repeat a series of well-rehearsed lines and mind games,"
"He may be uneducated," Hotch begins. "But he is by no means stupid. Taking this class has given him the ability to read verbal cues and body language,"
"One classic routine the Viper promotes," Spencer pipes in. "Is called the push-pull. He'll insert himself between two women and, immediately after complimenting one, he'll deliver a subtle insult, then pay attention to the other. Those are really nice earrings, I like those," He tells Jordan who smiles and touches her earrings.
"Thanks,"
"My grandmother wears a lot of fake jewelry also. It looks nice," Spencer then states, showing a perfect example of the compliment followed by subtle insult. "Ignoring the one woman puts her in direct competition with her friend and causes the other to pursue you more aggressively. I was just demonstrating something, sorry," Spencer quickly apologizes to Jordan.
"We've mapped the hotspots he hits and he frequents the same clubs that the Viper does," The lead detective begins. "So we need eyes and ears in every single one,"
"Circulate the sketch as widely as possible," Hotch pipes up. "We need everyone aware that there's a killer out there. Thank you very much," Everyone disbands but the team huddles together, talking amongst ourselves.
"I think I might just stay home tonight and man the tipline tonight. Clubs aren't really my thing," Spencer informs, not exactly a partier himself.
"Not a chance kid. I need a wingman. Come on now," Derek teases.
"Actually, there is another angle we need to pursue," Rossi states.
"We still don't know what made the UnSub change his victimology. What made him stop killing prostitutes and move into the clubs," Hotch agrees.
"The answer might be something in Viper's class, but to figure that out, we need to profile the teacher,"
"You need to bait him then, with someone he sees as a challenge," Derek's eyes flicker to Emily and me but quickly look to Spencer.
"We need to study his style up close and personal," Spencer says, his stare lingering on Emily and I. "It's gonna take someone, or two people hypothetically, that he's already attracted to,"
Emily and I both simultaneously let out a groan. "This is really gonna suck,"
"Preach," I grumble.
