A couple of more months had gone by. Seven months now, that's how long the case has been active. Vanessa and Cole felt like hitting their heads against a wall. It was almost a year and they didn't know how much longer they could put out for this. They didn't even know what was happening with the case, they were in the dark. They wished they could get to their regular lives but it would have a whole different meaning by then.
At this point, this case wasn't the only case they were attending anymore. When the fifth month mark came around, the BAU was instructed to work other cases as well until they had a breakthrough where they could catch Miguel and everyone in one swoop. They would still work this case from the sidelines but it wasn't a top priority anymore. As long as the reign girls stayed in protective custody, everything would be fine. But it wasn't fine, Vanessa and Cole felt like they were losing their selves. Matter of fact, they weren't the only ones who felt that way.
Savannah barged into the BAU with a huff in her step. She was furious because that day marked month seven and there was no new news. She can't believe she actually put blind faith in the government. She couldn't believe how stupid she was as she waited for an agent to come her way.
Luckily, Hotch saw her from his office window. He was at his desk looking through papers when he did. He didn't even have to leave his office to get Savannah's attention. She already was looking his way and when he gestured to come up, there was no hesitation from her.
After walking into his office and closing the door, Savannah was quick to speak.
"It's been seven months agent Hotchner, where's the progress?"
He deeply sighed, "I understand your frustration. We are using every resource we have to attend this case. But you have to understand this case is no longer centered around those two and if want to bring them home, we have to get everyone who's involved."
