THE MASS GRAVE
●'I'●'I'●'I'●'I'●'I'●'I'●
CHARLOTTE GENTLY EXAMINED THE REMAINS. She slowly looked over the structure of the skull, then the pelvic bones and grabbed a card where she wrote the same words she had already written fifteen times. Female. Caucasian. Early to mid-twenties. She put the card on the remains and moved to the next one. The cards would help them later when they moved the remains to the Jeffersonian for further examination.
" How are we doing down there? " Charlotte raised her head to look at Booth when she heard his voice, and the others, who were standing next to him.
" How long all of you have been standing there? " Charlotte answered with another question and squatted down by the next remains.
" Just for a few seconds, " Derek was the next one to speak. It was true. All of them had finished their tasks a few minutes ago and they all gathered around the mass grave to check on Charlotte and her friend. " What are you doing? " he asked when he saw her put her gloves on and get closer to the skull. He watched as she brushed off the dirt from the skull and then touched it, examining it.
" Okay, that's a male and in his forties! " Charlotte shouted to Brennan and then looked at the others again. " I'm helping with the remains. What does it look like I'm doing? "
" How do you know how to do Bones' magic tricks? " Booth asked. Charlotte rolled her eyes because the questions started getting on her nerves and she marked the male remains — only the second male in this mass grave.
" I've attended a couple of Tempie's seminars and I like to read, " she stood up, giving Booth a short answer. " It looks like our UnSub prefers young women. He doesn't have a preference in race but all of them are in their early to mid-twenties. I've found fifteen female remains, Brennan found twenty. Also, there are two male remains, " she continued to speak, directing her words to her teammates.
" And you can tell all of this just by looking at the bones? " Reid was the one who asked the next question. Charlotte's eyes travelled to him. She could not tell if this question was sarcastic or not. After all, it was Spencer Reid who was always questioning her intelligence.
" Yes, if you know forensic anthropology. Bones can tell a lot of things if you know how to listen to it, " she answered. " We are almost done here. The team should get ready and start moving bones to the Jeffersonian. "
" I'll tell them, " Booth said and walked away to find the team who was responsible for the transportation of the bones. Charlotte took off her gloves and climbed out of the hole that was a mass grave. They knew the UnSub's victim type. Now, they needed to find who they were and who was their UnSub.
•••
" So we know that our UnSub prefers young women. He doesn't have a preference in race but all of them are in their early to mid-twenties and he dumped his victims in one place. "
" He chose a quiet place for the dumping. If it wasn't for the building project, those bones wouldn't have been discovered and he will continue filling the mass grave with his victims, " Charlotte spoke up and looked at her teammates and Brennan's team. All of them were in Brennan's office to discuss the case before meeting with Baltimore PD and giving them the profile.
" Yes, and we know that those three recent victims were killed in a short period of time compared to the others. Something happened in the UnSub's life in previous weeks to make him accelerate."
" Okay, " Angela spoke up and everyone looked at her. " I have the faces of four victims, " she said, pressing the right buttons on her tablet. Her work at the Jeffersonian was computers and giving faces to the found bones. It was amazing what Angela Montenegro could do with her drawing talent and computers. She pressed one more button and four faces popped up on the huge screen in Brennan's office.
" Is it just me or do they all look alike? " asked Angela, tilting her head to the side. Charlotte looked over the faces on the screen. All four victims were blonde caucasian girls with blue eyes and their faces had similar facial features.
" He has a type. They're probably a surrogate for someone, " said Derek.
" But didn't you say that he doesn't have a race preference? " asked Angela, looking over at the profilers.
" He started killing without preference, " Charlotte started to explain. " Something happened in his life with a girl who looks like this. That made him look for a surrogate and he accelerated in the recent weeks because something triggered him. The original girl is in danger and we have to find her as soon as we can. We need to call Garcia, " Charlotte looked at her teammates. Hotch nodded, already bringing his phone to his ear and leaving Brennan's office to talk with Garcia.
" Angela, I will give you our technical analyst number so you can find the victims and our UnSub together, " Charlotte said to the woman with the tablet. She nodded and Charlotte sent Garcia's number to Angela. Winslow informed Penelope to wait for a call from Jeffersonian and work with Montenegro to find out who those people were.
" I should go back to the bones, " said Brennan, putting on her blue Jeffersonian lab coat. " We still need to find the cause of death. "
