"Morgan and Reid are finishing up an interview," Rossi informs as we walk into the small room, Hotch and Emily waiting inside. "What did you learn?"

"It doesn't look like either of our victims were gay," Hotch begins, leaning against a filing cabinet.

"Dan Keller's girlfriend describes him as overtly sexual and aggressive towards women. It caused quite a few problems in their relationship," Emily declares as she hands Rossi a picture of Dan and his girlfriend. I peek over his shoulder to get a look at it as Emily continues talking. "And his friends said they were out partying prior to his death and he was definitely willing to overlook the fact that he had a girlfriend,"

"Does that match with what you found on the scene?" Hotch questions, his arms crossed over his chest. I can't help but allow myself to lose focus, my eyes taking in his heaven-sent looks before refocusing on the task at hand. 

"Yes and no," Rossi answers Hotch's question.

"What do you mean?"

"The victims were both big guys, yet there were no signs of a struggle," I explain, leaning against the table. "We profiled it as either being consensual or the UnSub had a partner,"

"Sounds right. What's your hesitation?" Hotch inquires.

"What if it was both?"

"Huh?" Rossi questions, clearly having been lost in my explanation.

"Well, even if he was confronted by two men, the first reaction of an alpha male would be to fight, right?" I question, the three of them nodding. "But--"

"Not if it were a woman," Hotch finishes, causing a smile to adorn my lips.

"It's spring break," Rossi starts, catching on to my theory. "She lures the victim to her hotel room. Ties him up, then once he's subdued, her partner arrives,"

"That could explain the posing and the rape," Emily states. "The victims are alpha males with aggressive sexual tendencies. The UnSub treats his victims the way they treat women,"

"So we have a team," Hotch concludes. "A woman who lures them back to their hotel room and ties them up,"

"And a man who rapes and murders them,"

"And a man who rapes and murders them,"

Abigail POV

I mumble noncoherent words as I feel Aaron's side of the bed move. "Alright, you Reid and Derek head down there," I sigh before propping myself up on my elbows, looking over at Aaron who is slipping on his work pants. I turn my head to catch a glimpse of the clock that reads 6:00 am.

"Lovely," I mumble before carefully climbing out of bed. "Another body has been found I presume?" I question, wrapping my arms around Aaron's neck as his hands rest on my waist.
