CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT: NEVER EVER EVER EVER DRINKING AGAIN !
7x16━━━━━━
EMILY, CASEY AND GARCIA HAD WALKED INTO THE ROUNDTABLE ROOM TO FIND JJ, DOWNING ONE OF THOSE FIVE HOUR SHOTS. "Oh, you're not playing around." Emily commented to the woman and Casey chuckled right along with her, "Yeah, save that for the rest of us." She joked.
"Mm," JJ starts. "Will's away all week, so I am pulling double duty with Henry." She explained and Casey grimaces. As much as she loved that little boy, she definitely couldn't imagine looking after him by herself. Usually, she did that with Reid.
As Emily and Casey take their seats, Garcia looks at JJ in desperation. "Please tell me we are still on for Saturday night, because I have had it circled on my calendar for the last 23 1/2 days, which apparently, from the look of you, you did not." Both Emily and Casey's eyes widen at JJ's stiff movements at the fact that she definitely didn't remember the fact that they all agreed to have a girls' night soon since they were in need of one.
"Garcia paid good money for those salsa lessons." Emily said as the men of the team walked into the room. "And it's my only weekend where Sawyer and I won't be hanging out." Casey added. Emily turns to the girl, "Why is that?" She wondered.
"He's going fishing with his dad. Figured I could give him a break for a weekend." Casey shrugged. "Point is JJ, we all need a break. You especially."
The attention then turned back on JJ and the woman nods, "I'll get a sitter."
"Let's get started." Hotch tells the team and Casey settles in her seat as the focus then goes into the new case they just got. "Okay. Atlanta Field Office has a serial on their hands. Two prostitutes stabbed and staged in the last two weeks." She explained.
"Atlanta's crime rate has skyrocketed over the past few years. Especially the proliferation of solicited sex and drug use in the downtown district." Reid explained.
"Maybe this guy thinks he's cleaning up the city." Emily said. "It's rare for an unsub who targets prostitutes to pose the bodies." JJ adds. "Means of disposal usually reflects how the person feels towards them."
"Well, from the looks of it, it looks like he didn't think too poorly of his victims." Casey started as Rossi nods in agreement. "Even kept them dressed."
"He could be filled with remorse. The arms are folded, the bodies are laid to rest in a quiet park outside the city. Maybe he knew them." Morgan suggested.
