"there's my favorite boy."

Heather was rushing into the conference room, her hair tied up as a simple long sleeved baby blue shirt under a black blazer moved with her.
"Agent King." Hotch says warningly, Heather grinning bashfully. "Sorry." Heather says as she sits next to Spencer, watching Hotch's presentation.
"3 women murdered inside a gated community in southeastern new Mexico in the last 2 months." Hotch says as Morgan rose a brow.
"All 3 inside." Morgan says, Hotch turning back towards the screen with the remote in hand.
"Marjorie West was strangled in her home in the middle of the night while her family was out of town. They found her the next morning." Hotch says, showing the crime scene photos.
Heather's eyes dropped down to her tablet as she scanned every piece of information there was.
"Jill Long was strangled in the laundry room while her husband and sons were camping in the backyard. And last night, Aubrey Jacobs was killed in her home office while her daughter and husband were asleep in the house." Hotch says, also displaying their photos.
"Occupied dwellings is as high-risk as it gets." Morgan says. "And he's fearless." Spencer agreed from his spot.
"Proximity, the chance he might get caught...That could be part of it for him." Emily says as Heather nods. "Chasing some sort of thrill, possibly a sadist?" Heather says.
"You said gated community. I'm assuming that means security?" Spencer questioned, Hotch nodding.
"A small security staff and perimeter cameras. Everything's recorded 24-7, and no one has entered or left the compound since last night except residents. It looks like the unsub is part of the community." Hotch says, Heather looking up with her brows raised.
"The local Detective says that demographics, general makeup, and socioeconomic status of the residents is essentially the same." Hotch says, Heather shaking her head.
"With those similarities it'll make creating a profile difficult." Heather states, Emily nodding in agreement.
"Unless we examine a different set of parameters." Hotch says, Heather's confusion only worsening.
"Different parameters?" Morgan questioned. "Rossi's working on that right now." Hotch answered swiftly, dismissing the team members.
"I got you coffee." Emily says as she handed Heather a to-go cup after the team got their go bags.
"You are a life saver." Heather says with relief as Morgan walked over. "Where's my coffee?" Morgan questioned.
"You're not special enough for one." Emily says, Heather poking her tongue out playfully which made Morgan scoff.
