I go over with the team what me and Morgan talked about and our potential suspect and they all agree that we should check the guy out.

Aaron keeps staring at me.

I don't dislike it, but it's not comforting. Not knowing what he's thinking in that pretty head of his.

"Y/N?"

I glance up not realizing I was staring right back at him.

"Uh, yeah?" I say to the table, not knowing who said my name.

"Did you hear anything I said?" J.J. speaks up.

"Oh, sorry, I was zoned out," I go red in embarrassment.

"I said you should call Penelope and get any extra information on Adam Poles," J.J. says and I nod.

"On it," I say taking out my phone.

I mentally chastise myself as I call Penelope.

"Speak and be heard."

I can hear Penelope's adorable smile from the the way she speaks.

"Hello?" I hear her say again.

"Oh, uh, hi," I answer.

"Hi! What do you need?" Penelope puzzles and I remember what I was doing.

"Oh, right. I need information on a man named Adam Poles and his address," I say and I hear the typing of her keyboard in the background.

"Alright, Love, Adam Poles is a 40 year old male who has an awful history with romance. He's been arrested for spousal abuse on his wife-"

"Wait, wife?" I ask.

"Yeah, Mary Jean-Poles. Why?"

"I thought he was gay," I tell her.

"Oh, don't worry, he has a lot of 'guy friends,' our victim being one of them. Actually, all of our victims. There's pictures of him being really friendly with the victims and his wife."

"Do you think the wife knew he was gay?" I ask and Penelope types furiously.

"I think.. She did. Because there's pictures of all three of the victims being close with Poles and his wife. Like, way close to be just friends," Penelope says.

"Okay, text me their address and I'll be on my way," I say hanging up the phone.

"Adam Poles and his wife knew all three of the victims, and I have reason to believe his wife is in on it as well," I say hastily.

"Okay, explain on the way. We have to get to Poles' house before another victim turns up," Hotch says and we all make our way to the SUVs.

I make it out last and the team has split up into groups; Reid, Emily and J.J. in one van and Rossi and Derek in the other. Leaving Hotch without a partner.

I curse under my breath as I rush into the passenger seat in the SVU Hotch is getting in and connect a call with the rest of the team.

As the phone dial, Hotch begins to speak.

"I'm sorry about last night. It was very immature of me to ignore the conversation-" he begins before I stop him.

"No sh-" I hear the phone being picked up.

"We're here," Emily says and I hear the sound of Derek and Rossi joining the call.

"Go ahead, Y/L/N," Rossi says and I begin telling them everything as we drive.

"Wait, so do you think they're in a polyamorous relationship with the victims?" I hear Reid ask.

"Yeah, I do," I say as we pull up to Adam's house.

"Let's go," Hotch says and I put my phone back in my back pocket.

Hotch directs us where to go and conveniently I'm with him going around the back.

Fun.

I roll my eyes and have Hotch go ahead of me as we go around back. Hotch gives a countdown before kicking in the back door along with Derek at the front and we go through the house clearing the rooms until we hear a bump upstairs.

We all rush up silently when he hear a women talking.

"You like that, baby?"

"I think he does. I sure do," I hear a man say.

"No, p- please stop," Another man says, sounding fearful.

"Go!" Hotch says and Derek breaks down the door, and we all file in, guns aimed at Adam and Mary.

Mary is half naked on top of the victim and Mike is in a chair in the corner, watching.

"What is going on?" The victim asks confused, not scared anymore.

"Hands on your head, now!" Hotch demands and everyone, except the victim tied to the bed, does.

"This is not what we planned on!" The "victim" shouts and I go with J.J. to untie him.

Derek gives Mary a bathrobe before handcuffing her while Rossi handcuffs Adam who just smirks at the victim.

"Can somebody tell me what's going on? Am I getting paid?" The victim says.

"Sir, you're going to come with us," J.J. says and the man grabs his clothes.

"I didn't do anything wrong! This isn't illegal," the man says and I look at him, stopping in my tracks.

"What's not illegal?"

"They were paying me to be in a relationship with the two of them for a week or two and they'd pay me when it was finished. I thought that's what you're arresting them for," he says and I look at J.J.

"Sir-"

"James, call me James," he sighs.

"James, you're not in trouble, the couple we arrested murdered three men before you," J.J. says as we continue to escort him out of the house.

"Oh, God, I'm going to be sick," James says going pale.

We all wrap up, and head back to the station to grab our stuff.

We put our papers and evidence in seperate boxes when I hear Hotch call my name.

"Agent, Y/L/N, can you come here for a minute?"
