"Hey Kevin, what you got for me?" Eris asks as she walks into Kevin's cave of computers. Kevin turns around in his chair to look at her "oh I do not like that face. Give me a happy face please Kevin" Eris pouts at him, trying to bring a bit of happy to the office again.
"Who's this?" Kevin points to Sebastian behind her.
"Oh I'm sorry, this is actor Sebastian Stan. He is doing research for a role. Don't worry he has clearance. Seb this is Kevin our technical analyst" Eris smiles as she leans against the counter, introducing the pair. They shake hands and Kevin turns back to his computer.
"I have crossed reference every scrap of social media content and let me tell you these girls plastered their life on social media. And there was nothing, no crossing comments, likes, following and as we know Sammi and Charlie were friends in real life, so there was cross over but nothing that matched the others" Kevin continues pulling up profiles.
"Kevin, sweetie I like good news" Eris laughs to herself as she throws her back trying to withhold her anger for this case.
"Don't loose hope chicka dee" Kevin says unconvincingly.
"Oh Kevin. Leave that talk to Garcie" The pair laugh "what you got?"
"No girls were chatting or had the same person in their DMs" Kevin starts.
"That doesn't sound like good news to me" Eris laughs quietly, shaking her head.
"Hold on. But they did have the same picture" Kevin pulls up 5 different fake profiles, all with the same images "these girls were talking to the same man. Everything has been sent to your tablets" Kevin, starts pulling up other information and typing away as Eris pulls up the profiles on her tablet as they walk back to the war room.
"What are you thinking?" Seb asks, he can see the gears moving in her head. The thoughts whirling round.
"I'm thinking I'm right" Eris continues to swipe as they walk into the war room. Everyone sat around the table and the pictures up on the screen "yo" Eris shouts to get their attention "we have our connection"
"No way" Jay blurts out in a silent room. Everyone stares at him
"Oh that was embarrassing for you" Eris laughs before throwing him a candy "that's because it was embarrassing. Not because what you said was helpful in anyway. But yes Jay we have a connection. All 5 girls were involved in intimate conversations with 5 separate guys" Eris says as she brings up the conversations.
"How does that create a connection?" Adam asks, Eris throws him a candy.
"Thank you Adam" Eris smiles, Adam grins like a school kids while Jay grins at him "what is something you notice about these profiles?" Eris asks zooming in on them.
"They all have the same profile picture and first name" Jay shouts out, Eris smirks at him. There's the smart man she loves, she throws a candy hitting him in the forehead. Everyone around them laughed including Seb.
"Yes Halstead! Based on the fact there are five profiles are all first name Kyle. We can assume this is the perpetrators first name. But as we already know that the notes were written by at lest 2 people, and there are at lest 3 different torture. I believe that "Kyle" is running the pedophile ring" Eris explains.
"So he's chatting to these girls and then selling them?" Hailey asks. Eris throws her a candy.
"Kinda, we believe that this happening in some cases but after reviewing the conversations and the way the dialect changes regularly. It's reasonable to believe that he is giving away these logins or even more reasonable that he is selling these logins" Simmons steps in.
"He's selling them? What sick fuck does that?" Jay asks.
"People that run pedophile rings. It's a bigger business than drugs" Eris swipes across to a closer image of the profile picture, Jay pouts at no chocolate "obvious question"
"I'm guessing that's not our suspect? Adam ask as Eris shakes her head.
"We ran a search on the image and it's the first thing that comes up when you search 'Fit boy brown hair on tumblr'" Eris laughs. "Although they have located the original Instagram page and have been posting their images regularly to make it look real"
"If he's selling the pages, where it would be?" hailey ask.
"We think the dark web, you can buy a lot of weird and highly illegal crap on there. It would surprise me that's were he is selling them, I've got Kevin trying to locate the sales so we can locate the seller" Eris explains. "You've got your assignments, go be great" Eris dismiss's everyone.
On her way to her office Jay catches up with her.
"Hey. How you been?" Jay asks as they walk into her office.
"Yeah I've been good. How are you? How's Hailey?" Eris asks as she sits down at her computer.
"Yeah I'm ok thanks, I don't know i haven't spoken to her. I miss you" Jay looks at her as he sits down.
"Ok great Jay" Eris says not even moving her eyes from her computer.
"That it?" Jay asks
"What would you like me to say Jay?" Eris looks up "we spoke about this. I can't do this anymore. Can you leave my office please"
