CASEY NOTICED AS REID HAD ARRIVED LATE AT THE BAU ROUND TABLE. Everyone else seemed to notice as well. "Hey, you okay?" Emily asked as she scanned through the pictures of the latest crime scene on her tablet. (Garcia had recently gotten the team tablets with the exception of Reid who liked the files more).
"Yeah. Why?" Reid asked. "You're never late." Morgan stated. "Have we started the briefing yet?" Reid asks. "Just about to." Garcia told. "Then I'm not late." Reid says.
Garcia sits down. "Attention, intrepid BAU adventurers. The land of Bermuda shorts, white leisure suits, and sansabelt slacks requests your presence."
"Please." Hotch tells in his deep tone, indicating to focus on the task at hand instead of guessing.
"I was going to say Miami," Casey internally congratulates herself for guessing the location correctly as Garcia speaks. "But point well made about the dizzying number of locales with unfortunate fashion tendencies. Here we go."
Garcia shows the pictures on the screen. "Shells in the eyes and mouth. You don't see that every day." Emily stated. "Not even in Miami." Rossi commented.
"Three victims, the last one found with a..." Garcia starts and then Morgan finishes. "A decapitated cat?" Casey looks down at the file. "Poor cat."
"All were found within a mile of each other in a mostly Latino neighborhood in Miami called Allapattah." Hotch continued. "Eduardo Guzman, homeless. He was shot to death 7 days ago. Yanira Espinal, prostitute, bludgeoned to death three days ago. And then Victor Cabrera, he was an unemployed janitor. He was slashed with a machete yesterday, as was his cat." Garcia tells.
"You know, considering the homeless man lived in that alley, all of the victims essentially were killed in their homes." As Rossi speaks, Casey directs her attention at Reid, who looks as if he's tired and doesn't want to engage with anyone. "This took some time. In the open." Morgan told and Casey looked back at her tablet.
"You know, cowrie shells and ritual offerings are common to a number of Afro-Caribbean religions." Reid speaks, keeping his head low and Casey was starting to get concerned for her friend.
