Jennifer Jareau x Y/N Y/L/N

Moose Pt. 2

"Acid, strangulation, and fire" Luke told us as we walked past the kill kits

"You're sure?" JJ questions, looking over the contents that were now displaced out on tables

"The only killing methods represented in the container, not represented in these kill kits are acid, strangulation, and fire" Tara confirmed

"That's helpful" Luke didn't seem convinced, but I could tell he was trying to stay positive

"That's exactly what we need" JJ seemed chuffed as she pulled her phone out, I'm assuming to text Garcia "Those MOs might point us toward the three Unsubs we're looking for" she stepped aside to make a call

"Hey Penelope. New search. So, this is what might be in those kill kits we're missing. Acid, strangulation, and fire...Okay...Thanks Penelope" JJ ended her call and nodded at me to follow her back to the BAU. I gave the pair a salute as I walked off

"Looks like your girlfriend needs you" Luke shouted after me laughing, which make Tara laugh as well. I turned around and gave him a sarcastic fake laugh and put my middle fingers up at him.

The ride back up the elevator was quiet as we made our way back to Penelope to help her with the new information. It was boiling hot in the BAU today, how JJ was wearing a jacket I will never understand. Mine was still discarded over my chair and will be staying there for the foreseeable future considering I don't think I will be going home any time soon.

"So, I don't have any candidates for acid or strangulation, but I do have one for fire. Username 'Notorious' over the past several months has made 37 posts about El Fuego, and several have gotten the attention of our 45125 Unsub" Pen told the little group now also crowded round JJ's desk. I sat back down next to JJ who was at her computer, Pen was on the other side of the desk facing me with her laptop, and Rossi and Tara were stood just in front of us.

"I wait for the customer, and when the customer asks for fire, I rain fire" JJ reads off the laptop

"And he goes on in excruciating detail about the smell of burning flesh and how the victims can't scream cause all the fire has sucked up all the air" I continued, honestly I like fire but not that much

"Okay, wait, what's all this stuff about a customer? Is this guy some kind of salesmen who lost it?" Tara asks

"No. He's former military is my guess. Probably PTSD" I answered, pretty confident on my profile

"How'd you know that?" Rossi questioned, normally he's the one with the facts like that

"Because I know" I looked at Rossi with a slight smile

"Well, if you're Spidey sense is correct, and I'm sure it is, we can get our paws on those records because the DoD catalogues everything. So, all I have to do is cross-reference details from these posts with records from the Pentagon, and in mere seconds. We are gonna have... pickles. Apparently, while I was away, the DoD decided to patch that hole in their firewall I told them about in 2012" Pen whined

"I guess they decided to take cyber more seriously" JJ huffed. Just as we get on a roll as well and then boom, access denied.

"I...um, I might have another way in" Tara stepped away to make a phone call leaving us with Rossi to show him some of the other posts on the site

"Good call on the military Y/L/N" Rossi nodded to me

"Yeh well, can't be in it for over a decade without taking something away" I laughed awkwardly to ease the tension of the topic "Not that I have PTSD, I just know a lot of personnel that do, promise" I eyes them all up, it was the truth. I dealt with what I has seen in the military years ago and considering I still contract with them on jobs, I'm all good in the head.

"Okay I got it. Wilson's giving us the intel in a few, she's on her way" Tara told us, walking back over to the group. I left the girls to follow Rossi and Tara into Emily's office. Wilson didn't take long to get here, so after filling Em in on the new information, she was ready to tell us about what she found at the DoJ

"Tyler Green served two tours in Afghanistan, working military intelligence. He was a spotter for drone strikes" Wilson told us, handing Tara the file

"His job was to lure enemy targets into the kill zone, observe the attack, and report back. How did you know?" Tara asked me as I leant back onto the desk behind me

"The customer's always right, aren't they?", Wilson hummed in agreement nodding her head

"What are we missing?" Emily looking confused between me and Wilson

"Drone pilots and spotters refer to their assignment as coming from the customer. Might be CIA, or a classified op, it doesn't matter. They're trained to give the customer what they want" I elaborated before waving Wilson to continue explaining

"Now some of them suffer from PTSD because they're questioning what they did" she finished with a sad undertone

"If that's not serial killer training, I don't know what is" we all agreed with Emily, it's not exactly the best killer to be against either

"It gets worse" Tara handed Emily the file

"After several reprimands for drug use and refusal to follow orders, Green received an other than honourable discharge when he started publishing videos of the aftermath of drone strikes online" Emily read, passing it around to me and Rossi to read for ourselves

"This is our guy" Rossi confirmed, thanking Wilson for her intel yet again

"There's just one more thing. We all know the numbers on PTSD and suicide. We also know that's a precondition Sicarius uses to recruit his followers. If this Unsub has some form of IED, he's gonna use it" Wilson added before saying her goodbyes. After she left, we discussed more about the case and ways to now deal with it. The team were meeting up with Bailey to debrief him and try get this case to stay with us, but I really was not in the mood to deal with him right now so instead, I took a nice long lunchbreak and got coffee for everyone.
