Nameless, Faceless

Dispatcher: "All units in the vicinity of North Harney Boulevard, shots fired at 751 North Harney. Repeat, all units, shots fired at 751 North Harney."

Morgan: "We're not working a case. Why call us to a crime scene?" he asks annoyed while coming over to where Rossi, Emily, and Watson are waiting outside an apartment building

Rossi: "I was hoping you knew."

Emily: "JJ said the police told her it was urgent."

Morgan: "4 hours of sleep after what we went through in Canada, it better be." he sighs before they head inside the apartment  
➰
JJ: "Oh, you guys over here. You guys remember Detective Walker?"

Detective: "Thanks for being here. I understand none of you are working on much rest."

Watson: "Who's the victim?"

Detective: "His name is Nelson Martinez. From what we can figure, he answered his door, was forced into the apartment at gunpoint and then shot in the chest. It was all pretty sloppy."

Morgan: "No disrespect, but I don't understand why you need us here."

Detective: "2 days ago, a local doctor named Tom Barton found a note addressed to him at the hospital. It said the person was planning to kill his son. If Dr. Barton tried to keep his boy hidden, one person would die every day in his place."

Emily: "And you think this is connected?"

Reid: "The note is signed L.C."

Detective: "Yesterday we had another victim. Multiple gunshots outside the apartment. The shooter wrote L.C. in white chalk next to the body."

Reid: "Now, unless Dr. Barton puts his son in harm's way, we're gonna keep having a victim a day."

Rossi: "Where's Barton now?"

JJ: "He's at home. He doesn't know about this victim yet."

Watson: "Where's Hotch?" she looks around the place for said man 

JJ: "He's not answering his cell. I assume it's on vibrate. He'll get the message when he wakes up."

Rossi: "Try him again. He can meet us at Barton's house."
➰
Hotch: "You've reached supervisory special agent Aaron Hotchner. Please leave a detailed message. Thank you."

JJ: "Hotch, JJ again. Listen, we're gonna need you to meet us at an address in Mclean, Virginia...120 Kensington Road. Call me when you get this."

➰

Emily: "Dr. Barton, where is your son right now?"

Barton: "Um, I asked him to stay up in his room."

JJ: "And what did you tell him?"

Barton: "I told him that there was a threat against me at the hospital. I told him the police didn't take it seriously but that they wanted me to stay here for a few days And that I wanted to have him with me."

Rossi: "And Jeffrey's mother?"

Barton: "She died when he was 10. Breast cancer. Would someone really hurt Jeffrey?"

Watson: "2 people are dead already. Whoever sent that note is obviously serious."

Barton: "And if I don't let Jeffrey out of the house, then another person's gonna die?"

Morgan: "Right now we have to assume that he will keep killing."

Barton: "My son is 15 years old."

Morgan: "I understand."

Barton: "I cannot put him in danger."

Emily: "We are not asking you to. And even if you were willing, we couldn't send him to school knowing he would endanger every student in the building."
