"Eris! When are you leaving that cop of yours and marrying me?" Katie the coroner greets her. Eris gives a shifty look to Simmons before smiling at her friend.
"When you get down on one knee" Eris reply's, they all laugh "what do you have for me?"
"I always want to please you but this is not one of those days" Katie says as they move around the bodies "both girls have been shot point blank range, execution style. You see these abrasions on the wrists?"
"Yeah. Restraints?" Simmons asks as Eris looks closely at them. She knows these marks.
"Handcuffs? Police issue?" Eris asks.
"Very good Voight, these are police issue. These have specifically be made way too tight for the girls" Katie looks to Eris
"Makes it know very early on who is in charge and there's no way that would be able to anything while handcuffed" Eris says calmly as examines the bruises on her shoulders "dislocated?"
"Ding ding. Correct answer to Eris. These are girls were at some point handcuffed in the traditional fashion" Kate puts her hands in front of her "but within the last 2 weeks they were cuffed to either a bed or some sort of bored. But to such a degree that after a few days their shoulders popped out. Same happened with their hips" Katie guides them down to massive purple bruising round their hips. Simmons gags and turns around for a minute. Eris just stares holding back the tears.
"Was there?" Eris can't bring herself to finish that sentence with two 15 year old girls laying there on the cold tables.
"Yes" Katie says there is a lump in her throat. These cases never get easier.
The journey up to the office is silent, neither of them can bring themselves to say anything. This case was taking a turn very quickly to a place neither of them want to go. No one ever wants a case to go here. Eris leans agains the side of the elevator, her grip tight on the bar. As the elevator doors opens, Eris pushes herself forward when she meets eye contact with Jay. It's the Kennington case all over again. She already drained.
"Hey guys" Eris says drained "Urm" She scratches her chin, as she looks up. She sees seb, quickly waves to him. The group turns to look at him then quickly back to her "follow me"
Eris swipes her pass into the BAU office floor, there is a click and she gently pushes on the glass door to open it.
"Hey Lori" She signals for her to come over "have you got?" Her voice trails off as Lori hands her a stack of passes "you are great, can you show Seb to my office. Thanks" Eris watches as Seb politely moves around the group and up to her office. "These are your passes" She hands them over to Hank and he passes them around. "They will allow you access to the floor, coroners office down in the basement and the cafeteria. The best place" Everyone laughs "I know normally we come to you but as this case has now spanned two different jurisdictions, we thought it would be easier here. We suspected given the victims that it going to turn cyber uber quickly so we thought since we have all the high end equipment here" she trails off. Eris turn on her heels and moves further into their bullpen "so you all will be doubling up on desks and Hank I've got you set up in my office. We are going to be meeting in 10 minutes in the war-room" she points to the large at the end of the catwalk.
Eris swiftly walks up the stairs to the catwalk and across to her office. Hank hot on her heels.
"Hank this is Sebastian" Eris introduces her father, he looks confused "dad he's an actor" Seb smirks
"I know" Hank holds out his hand "he's the winter solider" he shakes his Seb hands.
"We will address that later" Eris laughs pointing at her father "he is in going to playing a unit chief in an upcoming movie and is doing some research"
"He's your Dad?" Seb asks as Eris sits down at her desk.
"Yes, it's such fun times when we work together" Eris sarcastically remarks as Hank laughs on the other side of the room setting up his laptop. "So I've spoken to the director and she is happy for you to have as much as access as you like except for things like the coroner, the morgue and actually sitting in interviews. You are required to sign an NDA" Eris produces a document for Seb sign. He signs it straight away "wow you just signed that. No reading. I could own you and you wouldn't know it" she smirks at him handing him a visitor pass before getting up grabbing the stack of files before leaving the room.
The boys follows her as she drops the NDA on Loris desk. Eris guides both men to the war room where the rest of her team are set up along with the rest of hanks team. Jay sits in the middle of the group, she smiles to herself reminding of her when they first met.
"Let's get started" Eris leans against the table, sipping a coffee that Simmons gave him.
"We have 4 victims. Kaylee Lamb 14, Sofia Cuzo 15, Sammie Loubell and Charlie Hunter 15. All have similar but not the same wound marks. At some point all 4 girls have been restrained varying in what they been restrained with. Kaylee has been restrained with rope, Sofia cable ties and then Sammie and Charlie hand cuffs. Police issued hand cuffs" Simmons says. There's a deafening silence in the room.
"If they had been restrained with different things how do you know it's the same guy?" Adam asks. Eris throws him a Hershey's kisses.
"Good questions Rusek. Still time for you to join the academy" Eris jokes with him, everyone laughs. "We are know it's at lest a group of guys, so far we suspecting at lest 2 main guys and potentially moving participants. Each victim was shot in the head execution style, there was a note with each victim. The dialect matches each note however the handwriting varies between 2 styles in each note. This is where it gets difficult" Eris looks ups at her team "each girl has been sexually assaulted various time during the time they've been missing" the whole room freezes. Eris looks up at her father who stares intently at the board. She goes on to recount the coroners report and sadly has to go into painful details. Once it's sank into the room " we believe that based on the coroners report and the age of the victims and no specific type. we are looking at a pedophile ring. By the looks of things it's highly organised. This is going to be difficult and draining but we need to do this"
