Peter: "His name's Jack. He's a soldier, and he protects me" he hums, holding the toy to his chest as he looks at a camera on the wall "I didn't mean to get you mad. Please? I'll be a good boy. Please let me out."
Amanda: "Peter" she breathes, eyes widening in recognition as she stands to her feet, hurrying into an office "Katie. I think Peter's back."
Katie: "Peter? Are you sure?"
Amanda: "I just got a new image. The screen name of the sender is Hugz. He just uploaded this to me."
Katie: "We're sure it's a new image?"
Amanda: "New image, same boy. Time and date stamped an hour ago."
Katie: "Are you communicating directly with this Hugz?"
Amanda: "No. I'm in a chat room. I was just fishing."
Katie: "Put him up. Carl, I need to know where this chat room originated. People, listen up. We have a boy we named Peter a year ago. At the time, he was listed between 5 and 6 years old. Instant Message Hugz VN-HO Very nice. How old."
HUGZ: "Interested?"
Katie: "Very" she hums, watching a link pop up on the screen "Go to the site."
Amanda: "That clock is counting down."
Katie: "It's an auction clock. He's gonna sell Peter" she sighs, running a hand through her hair "Get me Naomi Watson at the B.A.U."

Reid: "4000 images of child porn are posted every week on the internet, along with the appearance of 20 new children. The appetite for babies as young as 4 months old has soared. Many of these children have been kidnapped and sold into pedophile rings."
Watson: "One year ago, the same boy appeared on several websites used by pedophiles. He was a new face then. After a massive hunt led by the C.A.C., the boy disappeared."
Hotch: "Until tonight when S.S.A. Cole telephoned us."
Morgan: "Katie Cole?"
Reid: "She was in the B.A.U., right?"
Gideon: "One of the first profilers, clinical psychologist, brilliant."
Hotch: "She runs the Crimes Against Children Unit in Maryland."
JJ: "She was your boss?" she hums, looking towards
Watson who nods
Morgan: "I always wanted to meet her."
Katie: "Really? I heard she's a bitch." she jokes, entering the room
Watson: "Nobody ever called you that."
Katie: "Well, not to my face" she shrugs, moving to pull her into a quick hug "Naomi was the first one to discover him. He appeared in a series of photos. Sent the information over to us. I named him Peter." she sighs, looking up at the screen with a solemn look on her face
Hotch: "You said you got called in to assist on the case."
Watson: "I was called in. Af-after discovering him." she shrugs, awkwardly pursing her lips as Hotch gives her a pointed look
Katie: "Now he's being auctioned off when that clock runs to zero."
JJ: "Auctioned." she breathes, shaking her head
Gideon: "His face isn't pixelated."
Hotch: "Cause the unsub is confident that we're not going to be able to identify him in time."
JJ: " What about the site itself? Can't we just track its origin?"
Katie: "It's routed through a proxy server in Belarus. Even if that government was friendly, Peter'd be gone before we finished the paperwork."
