Criminal Minds Series Rewrite: Season Four

Bloodline: Part Two

You leave the room and approach her ad who is anxious for his little girl.

"Okay. Mr. Scheuren, you have an incredibly strong little girl."

"Did he touch her?"

"No, not in that way."

"Thank God," Jim sighs in relief.

Jim walks back into his daughter's room and you turn to Hotch who is eager to hear what you have to say.

"This confirmed that she was taken by a family. Two parents and a son her age. They took her from her house in a car and then into an RV of some sort. It was a short ride on the main road and then into a wooded area. She said the mother called her son puyule, which I think it's a Romanian term of endearment."

"Take Morgan and Rossi to the nearest RV parks and see if you can find their energies."

"You got it."

Derek and Rossi pick you up from the hospital on their way over to the closest RV park. If they have been a resident there, then their energies will certainly be easy to pick up. The owner of the park wants to help, but there's not much she can tell you about the family or any family who parks on her lot.

"What can you tell us about the residents on your land?" you ask and show her your badge. "More specifically, a family of three."

"Most people pay in cash. We don't have much in the way of records," the owner says.

"Ma'am, this was a mother, father, and a small boy. They would have kept to themselves and then left abruptly."

"You just described most of my business."

"The son wouldn't have mingled with other children. He would have been tightly guarded by his parents. The family we're talking about is Eastern European. They may have spoken some foreign words to each other."

This gets her attention. She goes to close the door on you, but she freezes when you mention the foreign accents.

"Are they in some kind of trouble?"

"Do you remember them?"

"Yeah. You can imagine I don't get a lot of people speaking foreign around here. The husband was real business-like, and the wife was nice. Their son was really quiet."

"Did you take down a license or a credit card?"

"I didn't have time to. They left in the middle of the night and never came back. I wouldn't have thought twice about it if I didn't have to clean up the campsite from all the glass."

"Glass?"

"All over the ground. Almost like they did it on purpose."

"Can you show us where they parked?"

The woman leads you to the empty lot where this family once was. There is nothing left on the land, but you can see all of their energies floating around as if they're still there. The energies pool together to recreate what their RV must have looked like.

"I told you, you're not going to find anything. I cleaned it up."

"Thank you." The woman leaves, and you walk closer to the ghost RV. "Jordan was right, you know, on the plane."

"What are you talking about?" Derek asks Rossi.

"We hide behind language. We don't talk about the ugliness we see. We talk about facts, signatures, and pathology. We're working on a case where a family is grooming their son to kill. They're not just murdering people. They're stealing children and poisoning minds. Where's the horror?"
