"Hey, y/n. Wanna grab lunch?" JJ asked as she hurried around the BAU office.

"Uh, sorry. I've got plans already," y/n replied.

"You seem on edge. Everything alright?"

"Mmhmm. Gotta go. Bye!" Y/n quickly hung up.

JJ shrugged it off and found another friend to spend her lunch break with.

"Thank you, everyone, for showing up so quickly." Hotch nodded to Garcia.

"Right. We've been called in by New Jersey PD to help with the murder of Lucia Rodes."

"There's only one body?" Morgan asked.

"Looks like it," Rossi answered. "Why are be being called in if it's an isolated incident?"

Everyone but Hotch turned to JJ.

"I didn't approve this case. I didn't even see it- it wasn't on my desk."

All eyes were back on Hotch.

"Local PD thinks the murder's connected to the Carlino drug ring. They want the help. Strauss is sending us." Hotch's words were met with silent disagreement.

Garcia finished the details of the case and the team got up to leave.

"Hey, JJ, have you seen my-" Reid was cut off by JJ's phone.

"Sorry, Reid. I gotta take this." Turning away, she answered. "Hey, y/n. What's up?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if you wanted to go to dinner tonight."

"Ugh I wish I could, but I'm going to Jersey on a case in 20 minutes."

"That's okay!" he rushed. "I'm in Jersey."

"What? How?" JJ was suspicious. "When did you get there?"

"They day you wanted to have lunch. Anyway, I heard you would be in town and-"

"How did you hear that?"

Y/n panicked. Shit. I should not have said that. I should not have said that! Taking a breath he composed himself a little. "I heard about the murder and thought you and the BAU might be on the case.

"Right," JJ replied unconvinced. "Um, I'll call you if I can, okay? How long are you in Jersey?"

"Whenever this nightmare is over."

"What?"

"Nothing!" y/n interjected. "I'll let you know if I leave before you call," he covered.

"Okay, but what was that about something being ov-"

"I gotta go bye."

JJ looked at her phone confused for a moment before shaking her head.

"Guys what if were looking at it wrong?"

"Whaddya mean, Reid?" Morgan asked, sitting up a bit straighter.

"What if it's not a duo?"

"Well this can't be all one guy," JJ insisted.

"Exactly. What if we're profiling a group?"

"Damn," Rossi muttered. "Well, that complicates things."

"How many are you thinking, Reid?" Hotch followed up as he wiped some information off the whiteboard.
