'We usually ignore the little things that matter. The small details that can change a life. Those simple gestures. A simple smile of hope, a simple touch of support, a few words of strength. These small uplifting things can turn a life around.'

They arrived back from the hospital not long after they'd found Renee, Laylah's fingers constantly fidgeting at her side as she followed after JJ and Luke into the conference room.
'Renee Morales got a severe concussion, but she's gonna be fine,' JJ informed the team.
'I'm surprised he didn't kill her,' Tara stated.
'He didn't want her,' Spencer noted as he passed Laylah her file filled with her notes.
'Was she able to give a description?' Hotch asked.
'Not much of one. White guy, about six feet tall. That's about it,' JJ sighed.
'Well, that narrows the search,' Rossi retorted.
'LAPD's increased patrols in low income and industrial areas, places where's he's likely to find the space he needs,' Hotch announced.
'Well, he's been planning this for a while. Right now he's got an actual brother, sister pair. He won't be able to wait long,' Luke reminded them.
'But if siblings are the key here, then what did we miss?' Tara queried.
'Odds are this whole thing is about his siblings,' Laylah murmured before looked up.
'If he wants to be in Los Angeles, that means he must have an end game,' Luke added.
'Yeah, and if he does, then he may escalate somehow and perfect that fantasy, light a bigger fire,' Tara continued.
'We should take another look at our arson lists in the area, see if any have brothers and sisters,' Hotch spoke as he dialled Penelope's number.
'Ready, willing, and excellent, Sir,' The woman answered.
'Garcia, our lists of arson arrests and convictions in California.'
'Ok. Those are mostly men. They are all men. B.T.W., bad boys that play with fire.'
'How many of them have siblings?'
'A lot of names. I'm gonna get jiggy with it and give you lots of those... A hundred and sixty six.'
'We profiled that he might sublimate his desires with work. Do any of them have jobs in any fire related businesses?'
'Ok. Hold on. Searching... One name... Two names... Still searching. Why does the last ten percent always take so flipping long? There we go... Three names.'
'All right, go ahead.'
'First up is John Bryant. He's a firefighter in San Diego. Definitely not our unsub, cause according to Facebook he's been in Hawaii for the last week with his wife and adorable kids.'
