As we arrived back at HQ, Hotch was in the lobby waiting for us.
"Everyone in the debriefing room in 5." He said while walking away.
"OK then." JJ said.
We walked up the stairs to the debriefing room, we were met by Rossi and Hotch. There was a screen with the FBI screensaver near a round table. Garcia quickly grabbed the remote that controled the board and pressed the center button.
"There has been 3 murders in Chicago, Illinois. All three victims were thirty year old, brunettes, caucasian, mothers with one child. All had their throats, wrists, and ankles slashed and they all had blunt force trauma to the head. The first victim, Sarah Jones, was found in her bathtub by her baby boy." Garcia said.
"Poor baby." JJ said.
"Mommy just wouldn't wake up." I said.
"The second victim, Susey Jacobs, was found in her car by a cable man. Same M.O." Hotch said.
"The third victim, Susan Jefferson, was found on a public park bench. COD was strangulation." Garcia said.
"Wait. That's a different M.O. Why?" I asked.
"We'll find that out later. CPD thinks the UNSUB will strike again soon, and they want us there ASAP." Hotch said.
"UNSUB?" I asked.
"It stands of Unknown Subject." Reid said.
"Wheels up in thirty." Hotch said.
"Provost, do you have a go bag ready?" Rossi asked.
"Yes sir. I do." I replied while walking down the stairs.
"Good. See you on the plane." He said.
I walked toward my new desk and reached down to grab my bag when Morgan placed his hand on my back.
"Why don't you ride with me to the jet. We could catch up." he said.
"Sure. I need something to bore my to sleep." I said as I stood up with my bag in hand. "Ok. Ouch." Morgan chuckled. "Let's go." he said as I followed him out of the BAU headquarters.
*THIRTY MINUTES LATER*
I was asleep when we finally arrived at the airstrip. Morgan woke me up with a one-handed, rub on the neck.
"Hey. We're here." he said.
"Alright." I said as I sat up strait in the car seat and rubbed my eyes. I stepped out the car and Morgan was already getting our go-bags. He handed me my bag and we slowly made our way toward the jet. As I walked up the stairs that led to the interior of the jet, I realized that we were the only ones on there.
"Where is everybody?" I asked as I placed my go-bag in the cargo compartment.
"I like to get here early so I can get the best spot." Morgan said.
A few minutes later, everyone finally got to the jet. As I sat down, I realized that Morgan was staring at me.
"What?" I said.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realized I was staring." He said.
"We can apologize later. Lets start on the profile." Hotch said. "The newest member starts."
"Ok....umm.....The women are caucasian, so the UNSUB is most likely caucasian as well."
"And since the women are in their thirties, then the UNSUB is most likely in his twenties." Morgan added.
"What about the names?" Reid asked.
"What?" I asked.
"All of the victims' initials were SJ."He said while waving his pen around.
"Maybe it's a coincidence." JJ said.
"Unlikely. Preferable Offenders choose names above all other categories to be specific on." I said and everyone gave me weird looks.
"What? I do my research." I said as I opened the case file.
"Reid. Your being replaced." Rossi chuckled and Hotch smiled.
"Wow. You made Hotch smile on your first day." JJ said with a smirk.
"Its a five hour flight, so try to get some sleep guys." Hotch said.I adjusted my position in my chair as I started to get colder. Apparently looked pitiful because JJ got out of her seat, went to the back of the plane, came back with a blanket, and handed it to me.
"Here. You looked cold." She whispered with a smile.
"Thanks." I whispered. I felt like family already so slowly drifted to sleep.
I was woken up by some turbulence. I saw that Hotch, who was sitting across from me, was still awake. I thought since he was the team leader, he would sleep more than the rest of us, but I guess not. He noticed that I was looking at him.
"You alright?" he said.
"Yeah. I'm not used to turbulence." I said.
"It took me a few weeks to get used to it." he said. "We'll be in Chocago in a half-hour so you might want to stay awake"
I was asleep for that long.......Wow. I looked around the jet to see if any of the others were awake, but they were all asleep. Reid was asleep in a fetal position with a book wrapped in his arms. JJ was curled up on a couch and her hands were in a praying position under her blonde head. Rossi was sitting on the other side of the couch with his head laid back with his mouth open. Morgan was sleeping in a sitting position, tilted to his right, with his head propped against his hand. He looked so peaceful. His eye-brows were as dark as the night and his mustache carved his dark-cream colored lips. Whenever I noticed his lips, I realized that I had been noticing more and more about him. Why? We have been friends of over twenty years! Why am I thinking about him so much? The last time I thought about him so much was when he asked me out junior year. I had butterflies all day. But why do I have butterflies now? Why? Why?
"Everybody wake-up. We're about to land." Hotch said as he slapped his case file against his hand.
"Jesus Hotch, can't a man get some sleep in peace?" Morgan said while adjusting in his seat.
"Yeah Hotch. I read a lot so I get less sleep." Reid said as he rubbed his eyes.
"I'm tired too, but we need to hit the ground running. Rossi, Reid, and I will head to the first crime scene. Morgan, JJ, and Provost head to the third crime scene. We'll meet up at the second to discuss and profile the scene." Hotch said.
