Chapter 11 - Aftermath

"Doesn't anybody ever go home?" Gideon sighed, walking into the office.

"The answer to that sir, is no." Elijah shook his head.

"Well, you're here." Fleur shrugged.

"Exactly. Trust me, you don't want to model your social life after mkne." Gideon sighed.

"If it makes you feel any better, Hotch and Morgan took off." JJ walked over.

"Hotch is married and Morgan is, well, he's Morgan." Reid flipped through his book,"What's that?"

"Police in Dayton, Ohio need help with a serial rapist." JJ began handing out files.

"Whats the story?" Elle looked up at her.

"Three months ago, he raped five students at a small Bible college. Roughly an attack a week, then suddenly nothing. Until nine days ago, when he suddenly reappeared with a whole new victim pattern. Both those women are in their thirties. They were raped about five days apart." JJ showed picturs of the women.

"Where have the new attacks taken place?" Elijah asked.

"Oppisite ends of the city. He was waiting for them when they got home." She sighed.

"How do we know it's the same guy?" Fleur looked up.

"He leaves voicemails for them." JJ sighed.

"Freezing them with fear before they even see him." Reid nodded.

"And they don't recognize the voice?" Gideon raised a brow.

"No. Cops even have DNA but it's not in the system." JJ shrugged.

"Why does someone attacking college students suddenly widen his net?" Elijah asked.

"Serial rapists hardly ever change victimilogy once it's established. It's based on a fantasy that's very specific." Reid pointed.

"Maybe he's telling these women that no one is safe." Elle spoke up.

"Call Hotch and Morgan. Tell them wheels up as soon as we're cleared to take off." Gideon packed his things, taking the nail varnish from beside Elijah and walking off.

"..Yes sir." Fleur sighed.

"Guess he's not a fan of yellow." Elijah chuckled softly, although he was visibly uncomfortable.

"I have some back at my desk." Fleur assured him.

"Is he like this with you three?" Elijah looked around at the girls.

"Only if it's too much." JJ shrugged.

Elijah nodded slowly, putting his hands on his pockets.

"Come on, I'll get you some spare." Fleur nudged Elijah.

"I think they look good on you." Reid spoke up.

"Thanks, pretty boy." Elijah smiled at him.

Reid gave a small smile before he looked back at his book.

"You tend to forget, don't you?" Hotch asked.

"Forget what?" Gideon looked at Hotch.

"The different moods on the plane." Hotch sighed,"I think the mindsets different when the victim is alive."

"Okay, we got new information on last nights victim." JJ walked through,"Alcia Jordan, MO is the same. He was waiting for her to get home. He broke in through the back and he subdued her with a gun."
