season 6, episode 24 : supply and demand (ctd.)
IT'S ONLY BEEN A FEW HOURS AND ALL FIN CAN THINK ABOUT IS EMILY. The way Andi's undercover agent missed her check-ins, went dark without anyone knowing, how Andi said she was following her own lead... Emily did that, too, and look what it got her. Fin has a horrible feeling of how this might end.
Andi and Hotch took off right after Andi got the phone call, heading straight to the agent's house to figure out where she might've gone. Morgan and Rossi went straight from the crime scene to the M.E. to wait for the final autopsy report. Penelope's working on narrowing down gas stations to find out where their dead unsub might have filled up last.
And Fin and Spencer are supposed to be working through all the missing kids dating back two years, but every few files, they both end up drifting into their thoughts, probably thinking the same thing: Every minute they spend doing nothing is another minute off of Renée Matlin's life.
Morgan and Rossi drop by after a while, only to say that Paige Hawley had a medical abortion as a forensic countermeasure, before heading off to the gas station Penelope found that the unsub filled up at.
Spencer and Fin return to the files, flipping through page after page on sweet, innocent kids, none of them more than twenty, any of whom could be dead in a ditch at the hands of these masochistic bastards. Fin wants to wring their necks with her bare hands.
Hotch and Andi return within the hour with news. "Renée was a runner," Hotch says, taking a seat next to Spencer. "She was training for a half marathon and ran with a friend yesterday, but she was late. Chances are, our unsubs took her then."
"What about the friend?" Fin asks.
"We don't know yet." Hotch's firm expression tells Fin he's not optimistic.
"Well, Renée did her homework," Spencer says, gesturing to the stack of files in front of him. "These people have all been to clubs over the weekend and vanished within three days, including this morning's victims."
"And she didn't share that with anyone." Andi sighs heavily. "That tracks. She's a perfectionist. Probably wanted to gather enough intel to prove it."
"Using the club as a template, there are potentially sixty-three others who were taking by the same offenders," Spencer says, glancing between Fin and Hotch.
