23. The Best Revenge... Pt. l

Now I know what a ghost is. Unfinished business. That's what.
-Salman Rushdie

They board the plane and after an hour or so Garcia calls. "Guys there's been another shooting. This new L.D.S.K is sticking to the victimology but he's moving super fast in the last three days there's been three shooting incidents, six victims so far that took Dowd over two weeks."

" So for some reason, this unsub feels the need to mimic the original crimes but at an accelerated pace."

"But luckily local Pd was already on their way to the park. They administered cpr to the victims. They managed to save two of the three but both of them are in surgery right now fighting for their lives." Penelope butts in frantically.

" The two surviving victims are Karen Wolfmore, an orthopedic surgeon, and her husband Craig. They were having coffee at an outdoor cafe in McCarty Memorial park." Matt says reading his file.

"The victim who died was Timothy Donovan. He was a groundskeeper." Luke looks up from his reading to show Spencer who's sitting beside him.

"So the ages and ethnicities of these current victims don't exactly match the past victims but the genders and locations types are the same." Spencer adds after a few quiet seconds.

"Also same increasing numbers of victims in both cases..." Felicity remarks, coming back from the minibar. She takes a a seat across from Luke. He glances at her but quickly looks away.

"Except it seems like this unsub merged Philip Dowd's park and cafe shootings into a single event."

"Guys if that's true and this unsub continues to follow the overall victimology, the last person that Phillip Dowd shot in the original series was McCarty the local cop that this park was named after." Spencer talks fast skimming through the file.

"Garcia I need you too notify Commander Rush at the HRT. We're gonna need their help setting up counter sniper operations." Emily says, authority on her voice.

" yeah, local cops are gonna need their own security detail." Rossi sighs and Felicity can see the worry on his face. Reliving cases is never fun.

"Dave, take Spence and Tara with you to the M.E.'s office. I'm sure she's got her hands full. Matt, Luke, Felicity and JJ we'll coordinate with Chief Wagner to the mobile command center that they just set up the latest crime scene."

When they arrive at the crime scene, Emily walks ahead." Chief Wagner." She shakes his hand.

"Unit chief Prentiss." He nods in acknowledgement, his dark eyes trailing over the agents. Felicity could tell he was a no nonsense cop just by looking at him.

"You remember SSA Jaraeu. These are agents Alvez, Simmons and Chase. I see you've already met HRT commander Rush."

He nods to them in greeting." Yes we greatly appreciate all the help we can get. As you can imagine things around here are pretty intense. My officers are well aware that their likely this guys next target."

"That's why Emily asked us to come back up your units." Commander Rush speaks for the first time.

"Scott was a dedicated officer and I can't let this happen to any of my other people." The chief mutters.
