Sitting in your office, a loud knock was to be heard from behind the door making a presence be known. "Come in" Hotch says, the stern tone in his voice more prominent than ever.
"Hey we have a case." Jennifer tells him, flashing the case file that was in her hand and he gives her a nod before she leaves to meet the others in the conference room. Letting out a sigh from the tiredness of all the back to back cases, he stands up leaving his office to join them.
Walking into the room, everyone's eyes dart over to look at their boss. Being the Unit Chief of a team—consisting of six people was a difficult task that he had taken over but eventually got used too. Moving to sit in one of the chairs that surrounded the table, he glances over at Garcia giving her a nod to proceed with the presentation.
"Okay my darlings, we have another one. It's in New York." She says, taking the remote to put up multiple pictures of a man tied to a wooden seat. A piece of cloth was stuffed inside his mouth and he was mostly naked, still wearing his boxers.
"Wait, is that?" Prentiss begins to say before Hotch interjects, answering the elephant and obvious question that filled the room. Instantly recognizing the man from his time as a prosecutor, he lets out a sigh before answering.
"John Law. He's 35 years old and an well known politician who was going to run for office in the next coming weeks." Hotch informs the team, his eyes moving to stare down at the file in his hand. Staring absently at it, he runs his thumb across his other fingers with his unoccupied hand. A habit he always had.
"Why yes my lovelies, Hotch is correct. He was shot three times, one in his knee, the second in the um- private and the third one, which was when he was already dead of blood loss, in the head." Garcia continues on, a look that was mixed of horror and disturbed plastered onto her face.
"Okay, so guys like this definitely have people who hate him. Especially because he's a politician." Emily speaks up, putting in her input.
"Well of course, but you're talking about hundreds, if not thousands of people. He's bound to have some skeletons in closet, lots of politicians use money to cover up anything bad they can may have done." Morgan says, making well noted points.
"Well, New York alone has a population of 8,336,817. So technically he would have a few hundred thousands of people with a grudge against him." Reid chimes in, leaning a bit back onto his chair.
"Yes, that's why I took the liberty of searching potential people who he done wrong that will most definitely have a grudge against him and a criminal record. I'm also checking for any payments he has recently made that may have seemed suspicious." Garcia informs, taking a seat to start typing away at her laptop.
"We'll talk more on the plane. Wheels up in 30." Hotch states firmly, the rest of the team quickly leaving the room, getting their belongings together.
