Danny: "How much farther?" he pants, running along a trail with Naomi
Naomi: "Huh?"
Danny: "Are we almost done?"
Naomi: "You want to stop?"
Danny: "No" he huffs, shaking his head as Naomi chuckles, slowing to a stop "No, what are you doing? Let's keep going."
Watson: "You look like you're about to pass out."
Danny: "I'm fine." he pants, nodding in thanks as she hands him a water bottle
Naomi: "Looks like somebody's out of shape, Mr. Fireman."
Danny: "Okay, you know what, you try dragging a hose up 12 flights of stairs in full heavy gear, and then we'll talk."
Naomi: "You know that just makes you sound weaker, right? Especially since the only gear you got on is a t-shirt and shorts." she smirks, flicking a part of his shirt
Danny: "Whatever. How much farther?"
Naomi: "We're almost at the halfway mark. We can call it quits if you want."
Danny: "Nah, I said I wouldn't slow you down."
Naomi: "You sure?"
Danny: "Yeah, I'm good. Let's finish" he hums, perking up when her phone begins ringing "Please, tell me that's work?"
Naomi: "It is."
Danny: "Oh, thank God." he breathes, making Naomi snicker as she shakes her head
Naomi: "Don't thank him too hard. Still gotta race me back to the car." she hums, taking off as he sighs, looking up at the sky with a huff before following after her

Watson: "Hey, Hotch wants everyone in the round table room" she hums, moving over to where Reid and Morgan stand, looking between the pair with furrowed brows "Something up with you two?"
Reid: "No." he hums, brushing past Watson to head into the room as she turns to Morgan, watching as he mouths 'nightmares' which makes her nod in understanding
-
JJ: "Mcallister. Western slope of the Massanutten Mountain in Virginia. Two bodies discovered in the woods. Both with apparent blunt trauma to the head."
Reid: "Skeletons?"
JJ: "One of them. The second victim was just killed this morning."
Elle: "How do we know there's a connection?"
Hotch: "They were found about 75 feet apart with nearly identical head wounds."
Morgan: "Where's the rest of the case file?"
Hotch: "There isn't one. The sheriffs are on the scene waiting for us."
JJ: "Their location is only a half hour away by plane."
Watson: "What's the rush?"
Hotch: "Well, there was evidence on the scene that could cause a bit of a public uproar."
Gideon: "A satanic cult."
➰
Gideon: Sir Peter Ustinov said, "Unfortunately a superabundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares."

Hotch: "JJ, we need to obviously keep this out of the press for as long as possible."
JJ: "I'll do what I can."
Elle: "Why is that so important?"
Reid: "There was a nationwide scare in the 1980s involving satanic ritual killings and abuse. The satanic panic, it was called. It began after the publication of a book about repressed memories being recovered through hypnotherapy. Memories of growing up with devil worshippers who use children in their rituals and ceremonies."
