"Red?" Chapter Two: A Means to An End 03x05: Seven Seconds.
*Trigger warning*
The Bau finds themselves hurrying into a mall the same mall where a young girl by the name of Jessica Davis was kidnapped and killed last week. Cases like these got to Eden, Kids, they were the one thing, but murdering and kidnapping such innocent humans was entirely not okay and she hated anyone who did. They enter the mall talking with the officer in charge
" Jim."
" We've been in lockdown for almost 20 minutes. My team's already in motion." Jim explains as he hands Hotch a radio.
" Another female, same age, same time of day, Taken from essentially the same location."
"What makes you sure Katie Jacobs is still in the building?" Morgan asks.
"The mall's got cameras installed at every entrance and exit. Surveillance video confirms Katie entering the building, but no sign of her leaving. Security paged her over the intercom, and their initial sweep came up empty."
"Whoever killed Jessica Davis last week left that mall with her because he wanted time with his victim in privacy." Reid begins.
"Assuming it's the same offender, he wouldn't stray from his M.O. He wouldn't leave here without his victim."
"So if Katie's still under this roof, so is her abductor," Eden says as Hotch nods.
"Garcia, report to the mall's security office. Reid, Morgan, I want you to find the head of security. We need all data from every search team." he turns to the women. "You guys start with Katie's parents. We'll treat the mall like a neighborhood. we'll separate into areas of control. Come on."
"Katie was last seen by her cousin in the arcade about 25 minutes ago. She was wearing jeans, a green shirt, gray sneakers, and ponytails." One agent was taking the trio to the family when an officer walks up.
"Registered offenders located within a 45-mile radius." He hands the paper to Emily and Eden and JJ looks over her shoulder.
"Ok, run this against current and former employees as well."
"Ms. Jacobs' cell phone had Katie's picture on it. Mall security helped us make copies." she hands them each a copy of the photo.
"Ok, we need to get one of these to every search team, every officer, every patron."
The women look over the giant crowd of mall goers. " Potential witnesses need to know who we're looking for, too." the officer takes off and Eden turns to JJ and Emily. "Problem is, our unsub could be any one of them."
"There's her parents" JJ whispers to the two women. They nod and walk over to the family. " Hi. We're Agents Jareau, Hunters, and Prentiss with the B.A.U. You must be Katie's aunt and uncle. This can't be easy. We're here to walk you through this."
