Chapter 94 - The Replicator

Although Elijah was awoken pretty shortly after with his phone going off.

"Mm.." Elijah reached for his phone, squinting as he answered,"Hm?"

"Elijah? The Replicator is here in New York. He took pictures of us and he hacked into Garcia's system." Fleur quickly spoke.

"How the- See, I knew trying to sleep was a bad idea." Elijah scrambled to reached his glasses and get out of bed.

"We're coming to the hotel, we'll be there soon." Fleur nodded.

"I'll meet you guys in the lobby." Elijah sighed.

"Okay, love you." Fleur leaned back.

"Love you too, doll." Elijah shook his head as he hung up.

"Hey Garcia." Fleur called her soon after.

"Are you guys okay?" Garcia asked quickly.

"Yeah, yeah. I got Derek with me. We're meeting everyone at the hotel." Fleur sighed.

"I don't know how he got it." Garcia shook her head.

"Tech's gonna shut down the system before the Replicator can." Kevin typed.

"I'm so sorry, I checked everything. I upgrade constantly."

"It's not your fault, Pen. He's just that good." Fleur cursed.

"And he wanted us to know that he's hunting us." Morgan sighed.

"Hold on.. You've got an external override. And if the only way to get in is with a pre-authorised hardline and he didn't get in via Quantico.." Kevin looked back.

"Oh my god." Garcia gasped.

"What?" Morgan asked.

"He was in my house.." Garcia whispered.

*********************************

Rossi and Elijah had met Hotch and were going through Strauss' room where she wasn't... Bottles of alcohol were on the bedside table.

"The window's open. She'd never sleep like that." Rossi shook his head.

"Did something happen to make her drink again?" Hotch questioned.

"No! She was working really hard at.." Elijah snapped before something on the nightstand caught his eye and he picked up.. A coin,"This represents a year sober. She hasn't let go of it since she got it- She's even a sponsor now."

"The Replicator has her. I'll check the roof." Rossi sighed.

"I'll have Morgan meet you up there." Hotch nodded as they walked out of the hotel room, meeting the others,"Strauss is missing. Blake, you and Reid talk to hotel security. We need access points and footage from every camera. Morgan, you back up Dave and Deans on the roof. JJ and Howards, take the west staircase. I'll take the east."

When Elijah and Rossi got up to the roof, they turned the corner and..Morgan was there.

"Rossi, Elijah. What the hell happened?" Morgan questioned.

"Her room was a wreck." Rossi sighed.

"She been drinking?" Morgan asked.

"No." Elijah insisted.

The three of them looked over the balcony of the roof.

"Eli, you sure?" Morgan looked at him,"Look, if the Replicator took her, he's probably long gone."

"But he left the window open so we would come up here." Не shook his head.

"Then this is some kind of trap or he wants us to see something."
