It was a relaxing day at the office so far. Everyone was calmly doing paperwork when JJ quickly walked through the office.
"Everyone, meet up now." She called out, not stopping.
No one hesitated to get up and quickly walk to the meeting room. It wasn't odd or unusual for JJ to burst in with a case. She would often surprise the team with a case. At this point the team had gotten used to it. The only unusual thing about this was how worried she looked as she ran past them.
As they entered the room, they looked at the screen to see over twenty faces shown on it.
"Who are they?" Garcia asked, pointing a thumb at the screen she had faced away from.
"27 families have been kidnapped all over the United States." JJ explained, passing out files.
"How do we know they're connected. I mean, all over the country seems kind of far fetched." Morgan inquired.
"They were all stolen from cities doing massive amounts of construction, at each abduction site everyone in the house was taken, and all of the homes the people were taken from have marks on the wall that look almost like the mark of a -keep with me here- laser gun would leave." JJ said uncertainly.
"A laser gun." Spencer swallowed.
"You're kidding, right?" Morgan sounded like he didn't believe it, and everyone else understood why. A laser gun? I mean, that was science fiction. Right? It had to be.
"I just said it looked like that. We have no proof it is, in fact, laser guns. The markings on the wall only match that of what could be a laser gun though."
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Sherlock Holmes." Spencer piped up from the back of the room.
"Yeah, I get that, but we don't live in a world with aliens and laser guns Reid." Morgan argued. If only he knew.
"So, if it's all over the country where are we going?" Hotch interrupted before Spencer could argue.
"Well, since we can't very well split all of us up, we are just a going to base our investigation here. Most of the kidnappings seem to be happening on the east coast anyway. They disperse more as you go west on the map." JJ explained to us.
"Alright, Reid and Morgan, you go look back a few years, see if we missed anybody. JJ, you go start making a timeline for us to work from. Rossi, you're with me. One of the families that was kidnapped had a daughter who was away at college. She was the one who reported them missing. Alright, get to work." The final order Hotch barked out was followed by a series of 'Yes sir's.

"So you really don't believe in aliens?" Spencer asked as they waited for Garcia to finish looking for past abductions like this one.
"You do?"
"Yes. I mean, there's plenty of evidence out there to support the theory of life on other planets. Scientists have even suggested that we humans may be able to live on other planets." The words jut flowed from his mouth as Morgan's brow furrowed.
"But all of that evidence is circumstantial." He replied.
The younger agent seemed to be getting agitated at his words. "Yes, but isn't that how we form a profile? On completely circumstantial evidence." This was an argument that Morgan wasn't winning, and Reid knew it.
"Why are you so confident about this?" He asked, looking at the man, searching for any evidence of lies.
"Oh, just call it a hunch."
