Criminal Minds: Danika

Empire

I go and head to New York on my motorcycle since I got today off. I drive around only to find myself at the Empire State Building. I didn't plan on coming here, just kind of ended up here.

I start walking up to the building but stop when I see a man walking out of the doors.  He's wearing a biker jacket and jeans, with dark sunglasses over his eyes. He walks over to a bike with fire painted on the sides, a bike I don't recall passing, or even parking by. But there it is, parked right in front of my bike where I could've sworn there was a empty space before.

"Nice bike." He compliments in a gruff voice, peering over his sunglasses to look at my bike.

"Thanks." I mutter, feeling as if he's somehow familiar.

"You should check out the 600th floor, rad view." He chuckles as if I should know what he's talking about.

Before I can respond, he revs his engine once more and takes off on his bike like a hot shot. I start walking up to the doors but my phone goes off and I sigh, seeing that it's Hotch. I'm not too annoyed because I can't even figure out why I came here in the first place.

I get on my own bike and start to head to the location the team is meeting at in New York. I put it in my GPS and find the SUVs by a strawberry farm.

"Danika." Hotch calls me over, getting my attention.

I walk over and see a kid who can't be more than 8 years old, lying on the ground, covered in blood. There's a strange puncture would to his chest, probably the lethal wound.

"Coroner says he's been dead for a few hours. Witnesses said they saw a man chasing him and called the police. Before they could even describe what was happening, the kid was dead and the man had taken off." Morgan explains.

"They get a description?" JJ asks.

"Large guy wearing a Viking hat." Rossi answers and I furrow my brows.

"A Viking hat? Like with horns?" I ask confused.

"That's what the said."

"Any chance they were high?" I scoff.

"Might explain why they thought there was another kid with this one." JJ shrugs.

"What's over there?" I ask pointing at the strawberry field.

"Delphi Strawberry Service. The police talked with the owner and nothing was caught on the cameras." Hotch explains and I nod.

"Have we located the parents?" JJ asks, bringing my attention back to the group.

"No, we don't even know the boy's name." Rossi answers.

"Why would he be all the way out here?" Reid asks and I glance back at the field.

"I'm gonna look around." I tell Hotch and he just nods and I start walking down the hill towards the strawberries, for some reason this place feels familiar, but I can't put my finger on why.

"We haven't been here on a case before, right?" I ask Hotch as he comes over by me.

"No, why?" He asks.

"The name sounded familiar." I shrug;

"Probably saw one of the trucks on the road." He comments and I nod but a very distant deep voice echos in my head.

"You shall face perils and pain like nothing, living or dead has ever had to endure."

"You coming?" Hotch asks and I look over and see him going towards the SUV.
