KILLER IN PRISON
●'I'●'I'●'I'●'I'●'I'●'I'●
THE TEAM FOUND OUT ABOUT THE MURDER IN THE MORNING. The security guard, who came to his day shift and was waking the inmates for breakfast, saw the victim and immediately reported it. Hotch sent Charlotte, Derek and Reid to San Diego's Metropolitan Correctional Center to look at the newest crime scene so that was where they were now.
" It's Paul Dowson, " said Charlotte when she saw their victim's face, recognising her 12th inmate she interviewed yesterday. It was a brutal crime scene. Looking at it, you could see that whoever did this had so much rage inside and was using it for the kills. His arms' veins and throat were cut open, the wounds deep and fatal. He was lying in the pool of his own blood with his eyes wide open and at first glance it looked like a suicide, but there was no knife or anything he could have used to kill himself. That was the UnSub's mistake with these murders. He staged them as suicides but never left a weapon behind. And the killer was not creative as all of the murders were the same. As if the UnSub wanted them to believe that all of the inmates would commit suicide in the same way.
" No one saw or heard anything, " informed Derek, back from his trip to ask fellow inmates about this night. Everything happened in killed prisoner's cell and no one heard or saw it. Five murders had happened and they only knew a few things: the UnSub was staging murders as suicides, killings happened at night and they did not have a murder weapon.

" I got it, " said Charlotte, entering the briefing room with papers in her hands. She went back to MCC after she, Derek and Spencer came back to SDPD. She needed to get everything she could about staff members who were working night shifts and had access to the victims. " Garcia is already running background checks on all of them. "
" Okay, so what do we know? " Hotch scanned his team.
" There're no signs that we have more than one Unsub, " Gideon started to speak.
" We know that our UnSub is a male because there are no females working night shifts. Also, he has a lot of rage and he uses it to kill his victims. We can see it on the wounds, " Elle continued what Gideon started.
" He wants everyone to believe that his victims commit suicides but he didn't think it through. Five people can't kill themselves with the same cuts and no weapon at the scene, " added Charlotte.
" And somehow he can do this silently so no one hears or sees anything, " said Derek, picking up his phone when it started to ring. " You're on speaker, Garcia. "
" Okay, I have two names. Both night shift security guards. I don't know how they are working there but their background checks came out pretty shady. It's crazy! "
" Send us the names and addresses, " Hotch ordered, standing up and getting ready to leave.
" You're the best, Garcia, " said Charlotte to the woman on the other side of the phone. She heard a small chuckle from Penelope and then Derek put his phone against his ear to have a private talk with Garcia to compliment her and her wonderful work.

" Mr Ward, FBI! " Charlotte knocked on the door, holding one hand on her gun's holster. No one answered the door. She glanced at Derek and Reid who were trying to look inside through windows. Mr Ward's car was parked outside and the engine was still warm, meaning he came home after his night shift not long ago.
" Mr Ward, open up! " Charlotte shouted one more time. She grabbed her gun and stepped away from the door, giving a signal for Morgan to kick the door in, but their suspect thought it would be a great idea to leave the house through the backyard door and start running away down the street, where everyone could see him. You do not run away if you are not guilty.
After running for three blocks, they caught him. Charlotte took a shortcut with a few police officers to cut him off, while Morgan and Reid with other officers were running behind him. Mr Ward had to stop when he realised he was surrounded with no way out. Derek made an arrest and let the officer take him away.
" You okay? " Derek glanced at Charlotte who was leaning against a wall.
" Yeah. Just realised I should start to go to the gym again, " they both laughed.
