Chapter 4

TW:
Mention of the following: Murder scene description

I hopped in the passenger seat of the SUV. With Derek driving we arrived at the crime scene within 20 minutes.

We presented our credentials in order to access the scene. The body was found floating in a river. "The victim's name is Abby Young. Sad, the sweet girl was only 18." The detective said sadly, approaching Morgan and I.

"The killer beat her so bad the cause of death will be challenging to identify." The detective sighed. "This seems like major overkill, Abby must've have a personal connection to our unsub." Derek examined.

There are multiple stab wounds by her pelvis, her knees looked broken.

"Hey, did the unsub break any victims knees?" I questioned the detective. "Not that I can recall, why?" He asked, with concern. "Her knees are." I pointed out. We finished up at the crime scene and headed to meet the rest of the team.

"The victim, Abby Young, seem to have experienced forms of overkill." Derek told the rest of the team. "Garcia, make a list of people associated with Abby and see if anyone overlaps with the other victims" Hotch demanded. "Yes sir, I will be back when I have your list." She said before hanging up.

Hours passed. We were going through what we already knew, still having no leads.

Hotch decided to call it a night and Garcia would update us in the morning. We got to our hotel and we're updated that there were only 4 rooms.

Derek paired with Spencer, JJ, Em, and Kate got a room with multiple beds, Rossi got his own room that only had 1 bed, which left me with Aaron. Everyone's rooms were on different floors except Aaron and I's, and Derek and Spencer's.

Aaron and I got to the room and settled in. "Hey do you wanna shower first?" He asked me. "No you can go first" I smiled. He muttered something before heading for the bathroom and shutting the door.

I sat on the couch and I texted my sitter to tell her about how long I will be then started scrolling on Tiktok. 20 minutes passed. Eventually I heard the bathroom door open. There stood Hotch in a blue T-shirt with gray sweatpants, his wet hair sticking to his forehead.

I got up and went to go grab my clothes and bathroom necessities. I was in the shower for almost 40 minutes. Eventually getting out and dressing. I walked out of the bathroom to see Hotch on his phone. "I thought you fell asleep in there." He chuckled. I chuckled while rolled my eyes at his remark.

I was about to sit down on my bed but heard a knock at the door. "I got it." I muttered. I opened the door and saw no one there, eventually looking down and seeing a letter. I picked it up, shutting the door. I opened it and saw pictures, of me. There were photos from when I got off the plane to walking into this very room. I heard Hotch getting up so decided to hide the pictures and keep it to myself for now.

"Hey Taylor, who was it?" He asked. "Just some kids trying to prank us." I lied. He stared at me for a sec before nodding his head. "Well I'm going to bed, if you're going to stay up, don't be too loud." He said walking back to the room. I nodded at his request and went back to examining the pictures but a yawn bursting from me told me to save it for tomorrow.

This week's Question: Who's your favorite CM unsub? Why?

I decided to change the story up a little bit. I thought about it and just want this as a Callahan story and not a sliver of Hotch and Akira - 6.25.24
