Elijah was adjusting his shirt, looking ij the mirror as his phone rang. It was Rossi.
"Dad? What's up?" Elijah answered.
"Just wanted to give you a call on my way to get coffee." Rossi hummed.
"Coffee this early?" Elijah raised a brow.
"You can't speak."
"You're older, you need to look after yourself."
"I'm great for my age." Rossi chuckled.
"Well, coffee won't help that." Elijah shrugged.
"Speak for yourself, ragazzo." He hummed.
"I'm just trying to be a good son, vecchio uomo." Elijah rolled his eyes,"You've only got one."
"Do you want anything while I get coffee?"
"Just my usual, if that's not a problem." He nodded.
Rossi was silent for a moment, Elijah could just hear the radio in the background.
"Papá?" Elijah raised a brow,"Are you still there?"
"Yeah, I'm here..I've just had some woman following me for a while." Rossi sighed.
"A woman? Is it an ex?" Elijah questioned.
"Elijah."
"Wh- That was a valid question."
"No, it is not an ex. She is way too young." Rossi told him.
"Why would a woman be following you?" Elijah furrowed his brow.
"I don't know. I'm going to figure it out."
"Be careful." Elijah sighed.
"Always. I'll be at work soon." He assured him.
"I'll see you then." Elijah nodded,"Ti amo."
"Ti amo, figlio." Rossi hung up.
*********************************
"Three bodies have been found in Reston, Virginia, each violently stabbed, then posed, a week apart. The first two, Kevin Brown and Rick Mendoza were murdered in their homes. The third one, Jessica Randall, was killed in her hair salon last night." Garcia told them all as they sat in the Conference Room
"Bold and brutal. So what did the first two victims do?" Kate asked.
"Kevin worked at a hardware store, Rick was an auto mechanic." She answered.
"Maybe the Unsub's a customer. We should check appointment logs." Reid pointed.
"Already did that." Garcia nodded.
"Well, gender isn't a factor. They could all be victims of opportunity." Morgan sighed.
"Did they live near each other?" JJ raised a brow.
"Three miles apart." Garcia nodded.
"They still could have been strangers." Rossi shrugged.
"Both homes were broken into through a back window. Washington Field isn't sure how the UnSub got into the salon." Hotch explained.
"It's high risk. Maybe we're looking at a drug addict." Elijah suggested.
"But nothing was stolen. And he took the time to redress the victims." Fleur tilted her head.
"Strange. The Unsub stabbed the victims in their original clothing and then found clean ones to put them in." Reid commented.
"Yeah, they fit well. Maybe he brought the new ones with him." JJ pointed.
