"Okay, so, hypothetically.." Elijah began.
"No." Fleur pointed.
"Wh- I haven't even said anything." Elijah crossed his arms.
"I know what you think like."
"Rude."
"Now, what did Rigatoni do?" Garcia chuckled.
"Dragged toilet paper through the house." Reid hummed.
"You chased him, didn't you?" Morgan looked at Elijah.
"Wh- No." Elijah looked away.
"Did so."
"Shush." Elijah nudged him.
"So what happened?" Emily asked.
"Things were handled calmly and professionally."
"I'm sure they were." Fleur chuckled.
"Reid." Elijah turned to him.
"..Yes." Reid nodded slowly.
"Does anyone here believe me?"
"I do." Garcia raised her hand.
"Anyone else?" Elijah looked around.
"I do." Garcia pouted.
"I get it, I know who my friends are." Elijah put an arm around Garcia.
"Garcia." Hotch cleared his throat as he walked over.
"Yes sir?" Garcia turned to face him.
"We have a case and I need you to come along."
"Me?" She blinked.
"Yes." Hotch nodded.
"Oh- Well- Of course."
"You're coming with us." Elijah hummed,"Oh, that's lovely."
"Wheels up in ten." Hotch sighed.

"Sir, it's not that I'm not glad to be coming with you, because I am, I just don't understand why." Garcia told him.
"One of the aspects of an equivocal death investigation, when suicide is a probability, is an indirect personality assessment. Our victims are all Internet generation kids. There should be invaluable personal data on their computers to mine for the evaluation." Hotch explained.
"If they committed suicide, evidence of it will probably be left in their cyber world." Morgan nodded.
"So I'm going to snoop through dead kid's computers?" Garcia blinked.
"This plane seldom makes pleasure trips." Elijah sighed.
"We've all been over the files, let's talk about victimology." Hotch nodded.
"Okay, all four kids were decent students from different neighbouring towns with the same school, in the same county." Rossi began
"Active in sports and community." Fleur read out.
"Intact families. No mental disorders. No precipitating events." Emily shook her head.
"These are just average, good kids." Morgan looked up,"There has to be some underlying issue."
"Besides relative proximity, there's no obvious connection between any of them." Reid nodded slowly.
"Seems to rule out an overt suicide pact." Hotch finished.
"The first few days leading up to a teenager suicide are usually very telling. Their behavior is transparent, their are a multitude of indicators.." Elijah crossed his arms.
