"Help me with this crossword, please?" Fleur leaned over to Elijah's desk.

"What's the clue?" Elijah raised a brow.

"Quality of Kratos?" Fleur blinked.

"Can you repeat that in English?" He furrowed his brow.

"Did I slip into French?" Fleur blinked, reading the paper again.

"No, I just have no clue what you said." Elijah spun around in his chair.

"Spencer." Fleur showed him the paper.

"It's Ire." Reid hummed.

"Of course it is." Elijah sighed.

"Thank you." Fleur wrote it down.

"You're welcome." Reid smiled.

"You got a smart guy, I got one that throws himself through doors." Fleur looked at Elijah.

"My guy's the best." Elijah agreed.

"What's going on?" Morgan walked in.

"Reid helped Flo with a crossword because neither of us are smart enough for them." Elijah answered.

"Got a point." Fleur hummed.

"Come on, Eli. You and Fleur are both smart in your own ways." Reid assured him.

"Like?" Fleur turned to him.

"Well, Flo, you've got a lot of street smarts and are great at thinking on your feet." He pointed.

"Aw, thanks Spence." Fleur gasped.

"And? What about me?" Elijah asked.

"You're smart in ways I shall not be naming." Reid cleared his throat

"Oh, you dirty boy." Elijah smirked.

"Ew." Garcia walked in, covering her ears,"Case, we have a case. I am not listening to your dirtiness."

"We didn't even say anything bad." Elijah pointed.

"I could sense your dirty thoughts." Garcia pointed.

"I think we all could." Morgan chuckled.

"Come on. Fleur stood up.

"I'm coming." Elijah sighed.

Once in the Conference Room, they saw Cruz.

"Our UnSubs eluded both domestic and international teams, and we're not about to let him get away with it again. As you all remember.." Cruz turned to the screen,"Last April the Isaacs family was killed in Florida, and the Everetts were killed in Aruba the year before that."

"Both families were found twenty-four hours after they were taken. Each family member had been strangled and their bodies were dumped in a remote area. The trails went xold." Hotch continued.

"All signs pointed to the Everetts being hod first victims. Because of the hands on, intimate nature of the kills, we thought it was personal." Lambert hummed.

"And we built on that theory with the Isaacs in Florida, but to no avail." Hotch shook his head.

"Now that he's moved internationally again, it's time to rethink the motive. It's clear he gets off on hunting American families when they're on vacation." Garret sighed.

"Just over eight hours ago, he abducted the Sullivans from Barbados." Cruz pointed, showing security footage on screen.

"It's like he's establishing a clear pattern. He started overseas, came back to the States, and now he's gone to another country again." Morgan crossed his arms.
