James POV (the tech)

I look at the time on one of my computer and it says 4:00 am.

Rinnnggg!

I press the button on my answering machine and then the button that makes it on speaker.

"Hello, this is the pizza factory can I take your order?" I ask in a funny manner.

"Yeah, James I need ya to do some research on the Carter and Johnson family. See if their is any other family members alive and in the area." Says Janis.

"Yes ma'am."

I press a button that hangs up the phone and then start typing away on my magical keyboard.

I have seven computer screens in front of me in various sizes. Along with five behind me.

My eyes go from screen to screen scanning and analyzing everything I see. My fingers type over 200 words a minute and they hardly ever stop.

I pull up birth and death certificates, house loans, credit card transactions, the works.

I feel like I hit a dead end.. on the computer when I get a file that pops up.

I didn't think it would have. I thought it wouldn't but it did.

A very familiar name pops up on my screen and it makes me want to yell out.

I press the dial button and call Janis back.

"Got any leds?"

"Well yes and no. No being almost everyone is dead or lives all the way across the country,"

"And what is the yes?"

"There's this, uhh, name. Conner Carter. He's the oldest of the three children and dissapeared about three years ago."

"Thanks... James is, is everything alright?"

"Its fine. Lemme know if ya need anything else."

With that I hang up.

I grab my hair in my fist and grimace.

"UHHH! I FUCKING HATE YA! I HATE YA ALL!" I yell out in my office as I hit my head on one of my desks.

I'm not sure if I hung up completely, I'm not sure if I care anymore. I'm in a down hill spiral.

(Janis's POV)

I hadn't hung up, I normally don't cause James hangs up first.

I heard him yell out something followed by a slam.

At this point I'm worried.

I'm in the office and the rest of the team is here too. Since its 4 in the morning the police in the station have either went to bed or home.

I have to tell them what's on my mind. I have to and I wish it wasn't going through my mind at all.

"Guys, I've gotta tell y'all something. And I wish I wasn't saying this, I really do. But I've got this feeling."

Eric looks up at me from the couch him and Anthony were almost asleep on.

"Go ahead and say it Janis, what ever it is."

At this point the whole team is looking at me, edging me to carry on.

"So, as you already know, the unsub is in the FBI. I called James not to long ago and asked about other family names and he said that there's one name, Conner Carter but he disappeared about three years ago. I didn't hang up my phone cause ya know James always does first and I heard him yell out something and a slam. Now didn't James join the team about three years ago?"
