Special Agent Angel (Criminal Minds fanfiction) [Season 1]

Extreme Aggressor Pt. 4

"A second unsub," Elle said as the team walked down a set of stairs.

"It's not unusual. Remember Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris?" Gideon asked

"1979. They outfitted a van to rape and murder girls in California,"

"We're looking for someone who fits a similar relationship?" Hotch asked

"They're not equals." Gideon explained "Slessman's smart, but he is a submissive personality."

"So number 2 is dominant," Elle said.

"Authoritative, arrogant,"

"Probably not as smart as Slessman," Hotch inputted

"He's like the schoolyard bully recruiting a good underling-he'll be protective of Richard. He'll make him feel like he owes him,"

"If Richard's been up in the attic fantasizing about being an extreme aggressor, this guy showed him how to do it,"

"He helped him take the first step,"

"I think we should interview him," Elle said, "use this as pressure."

"No, no. We need leverage, a name,"

"From the suspect list?"

"That'll take too long. There's gotta be a faster way,"

"There is," Hotch said

Hotch handed Richard's grandmother a mug "Here. This might be a little hot. Mrs. Slessman, I don't think we've got the right guy. I think the person we're looking for might be a friend of Richard's,"

"Richard never had many friends." Mrs. Slessman explained

"You sure? There's gotta be someone,"

***

"You've reached Penelope Garcia. In the FBI's office of Supreme Genius,"

"Hey, it's Sam. Need you to work me some magic here. I got a program called Deadbolt Defense and a girl with only a couple of hours to live, so what do you know?"

"You know just as much as me, and should know that..."

"Deadbolt's the number one password crack-resistant software out there," Sammarra finished with her. She sighed "Yeah, I know,"

"You're gonna have to get inside this guy's head to get the password," Garcia explained

"I thought I was calling the office of supreme genius,"

"Well, you've been rerouted to the office of too friggin' bad. Besides I'm second to none with your work,"

"Easy Garcia I'm at work, a bit strange if people see me blush while on a phone call,"

"Well, there was...there was this one young man," Mrs. Slessman explained to Hotchner, "I think his name was Charlie,"

"Cross-reference Charlie for the second unsub," Gideon ordered Elle as she worked on a computer.

"Charlie is probably Charles Linder. He was Slessman's cellmate." Elle explained "and received a dishonorable discharge from the military,"

"He's bigger, tougher. He could have protected Richard in prison. Where were they incarcerated?"

"Cascadia. Less than a mile from here,"

"Let's go,"

"My name is Richard Slessman, and I have trouble sleeping." Samarra said as she picked up the bottle of pills and went over to the bed and laid on it "What do I do when I'm trying to get to sleep?" Sam looked at the case that was behind her head. She stood up "Morgan if you're just going to stand there watching me, the least you can do is actually help,"
