To Solve

Chapter 1: Extreme Aggressor

Before you read a little triggerwarning to... nearly everything... so please imagine the list here. 

I won't write episode to episode and every storyline in this show, because that would be to much.  

And english is not my first language so please excuse my gramma and spelling mistakes.

"The beginning is always today."

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Parker Gallagher stood in front of the mirror and considered what they should wear to the date this evening. They held a red wool sweater in one hand and a blue one in the other hand.

"The red one or the blue one?" they asked loudly and addressed their boyfriend who was standing in the living room waiting for them– like most of the time.

"The blue one," the young man replied. He liked that sweater, because it flattered their body and they looked so cute in it at the same time.

That made the profiler chuckle– needless to say, they put on the blue wool sweater. Parker and their boyfriend were really looking forward to the date. It had been so long since they had one.

"When was our last one again? Three months ago?"

"Three months, two weeks, five days and 14 hours."

The young man was now standing in the doorway, leaning against the frame. Parker rolled their eyes and turned away from the mirror to their boyfriend.

"Of course," Parker mumbled. They sounded annoyed, but the young man knew that was what Parker loved about him.

He walked up to his better half and put his arms around them. He laid his chin on their shoulder and the couple looked at their reflections in the mirror.

Unfortunately, the young man's cell phone rang at the same moment.

"Sometimes I hate our job," Parker muttered as Spencer answered his phone.

The team had a new case and Hotch, the unit chief, asked Spencer and Parker to bring Jason Gideon back on the team. Gideon had been on hiatus for a while and was now supposed to come back.

Parker was happy about the decision. They mist Gideon and the BAU wasn't the same without him.

Today Gideon was giving one of his lectures to a group of students when the young agents entered the room.

The older man looked at them questioningly, while Spencer just silently pointed to the file he was holding.

"Excuse me," Gideon addressed the students and left the classroom with Spencer and Parker.

The older Profiler wasted no time and asked directly, why they were here.

"They're calling him the Seattle strangler. 4 victims in 4 months," Spencer began to explain as they walked down the corridors.

"He keeps them alive for 7 days. The handle serves as a crank," Parker continued.

"Allowing him to control the rate of suffocation," Gideon voiced his thought while looking at the pictures in the file.

"To prolong it?" Parker asked.

"To enjoy it."

"Seattle's hit a wall?" Gideon asked.
