Family Over Everything - A Criminal Minds/Blue Bloods Crossover

Chapter 4

It was around eight the following morning when Alex walked into the 54 station house to see the rest of her extended family. She smiled when she saw Detective Maria Baez talking to JJ and Morgan. Both agents had their backs to her.

"So no idea who would want to target these victims?" Morgan asked.

"Not a clue, everyone who was close to them said that they were good guys and great on the job too." Baez replied.

"But both of them died from immediate exsanguination, which suggests an unsub who wanted to make sure they died and died quickly." Alex said as she walked up to them.

"Well if it isn't one of my favorite doctors. Hey Lex." Morgan said as he gave her a hug.

"Hey handsome, how are Savannah and Hank?" Alex asked referring to Derek's wife and young son.

"They're good, Hank is walking now and is putting a few words together." Derek laughed.

"What about me, I've missed you Lex" JJ said as Alex hugged her next.

"JJ, I've missed you too. How are the boys?" Alex smiled.

"Great, Henry and Michael miss you though." the blonde said.

"I miss them too, I miss all of you. Is the rest of the team here or did some go to the crime scenes?"

"Matt and your dad are talking to the ME, Emily and Charlie are at the first crime scene with Detective Reagan talking to the victim's wife, and Reid and Hotch are at the second crime scene. That left Derek, Tara, and I to go over victimology. Garcia is working her magic with the tech guys here to see what she find out." JJ explained as they walked into one of the conference rooms.

"Garcia came with you? That's unusual, normally she prefers to stay in her cave." Alex said.

"Hotch thought I should come to work with the tech staff to see if we can get a handle on who's doing this, and even this diva needs to get out of her cave once in a while." a voice said.

"Pens! I've missed you" Alex said as she hugged her friend.

"I've missed you too sweetie, now I want to see that ring, and for you to catch me up on Jamie." Garcia said with her trademark smile.

Garcia led Alex back to the desk she was working at. Alex was explaining how Jamie proposed and Garcia was squealing with excitement.

"I got some ideas on wedding stuff. I've been planning it since you told me! I will show you-" She was cut off by her cell ringing. "As soon as I can. Go for Garcia!" She answered.

"Hey beautiful." Charlie's voice rang over the speaker.

"Hey pretty girl. You're with Alex and I. Watcha got for me?"

"Can you find any connection between the first and second victim?"

"I can. I will get back to you as soon as I do!"

"Thanks love. Alex, I'll see you soon! We're all going out tonight for dinner."

"I'll let Jamie know. Stay safe!"

"Always!"

The BAU team, Danny, Beaz and Alex found themselves together in the private room a little while later going over what they have.

"Why leave a bit at the second victim but not the first?" JJ asked.

"Maybe he wants his kills to be noticed now?" Prentice suggested.

"No. He wants them to be connected."

"Maybe there is a connection and we're just not seeing it." Tara said .
