Elizabeth had started to munch on her food, while the others started to throw ideas around the table. "what if." she gulped, "the unsub was in the foster system?" she suggested as she dipped a chip in the ketchup.
"would show why he hates families so much." JJ said and placed a photo of the third family on the notice board. "let's ask Garcia." Derek added on- the male pressed Garcia's contact on his phone and everyone waited until she answered.
"hello my love!" her cherry voice came through the phones speaker. "hey sweet thing." he smirked as Elizabeth rolled her eyes at their affections. "we need you to look up all the kids in the foster system who are over the age of twenty five." Emily said to Garcia.
"oh my! my dear crime fighters." Garcia's keyboard echoed through the phone as she was doing her searches. "this is a long list, i need more." she said and everyone looked at each other, wondering what other searches they could look for.
"i'll keep digging. I'll hit you back when i have something." she ended the phone call. Elizabeth placed her rubbish in the bin before brushing the crumbs off her hands. "excuse me." she left the conference room and into the bathroom.
FLASHBACK "mummy! look what i found." a five year old Elizabeth Hunters ran to her mother, Ivy. "what is it, darling." Ivy bent down to reach her daughters height. "it's a butterfly!" she smiled excitedly. "wow."Ivy smiled while rubbing her daughters shoulder.
"i'm home!" the front door opened and Elizabeth ran to the front door to see her father, Colin placing his brief case down on the floor. "daddy!" she yelled and she instantly ran into his arms and gave him a massive hug.
"hi sweet girl." he laughed as the force of the hug, pushed him to the ground and she then laid on top of him. "Elizabeth! let him up." her mother scolded the young girl and gently pulled her daughter off her husband.
"she's okay, love." Colin laughed as he stood up and brushed his trousers out to release any creases. Elizabeth ran back to the kitchen to grab herself a juice from the fridge. "mummy! can you help me." she called from the freshly painted kitchen.
An hour later, the family of three sat down on the kitchen table with their dinner in front of them. "yum! chicken nuggets." Elizabeth smiled in pleasure, as she dunked a nugget into the small portion of ketchup.
FLASHBACK OVER
Elizabeth stared at herself in the mirror, a small tear leaving her eye. "are you okay?" JJ's voice startled her, the agent didn't hear her friend enter the bathroom. "yeah, i'm okay." she wiped her eyes and turned around to face the blonde.
"no you aren't." JJ walked closer to Elizabeth and she then stood in front of the young agent. "just memories." she stated and placed her hair behind her ears and just smiled at the agent. "totally fine." she reassured JJ.
JJ then left the bathroom and Elizabeth followed straight after, but not before she cleaned herself up. Elizabeth entered the conference room and sat in her original seat, not looking at anyone. "it's Garcia." Spencer announced.
"hi guys. I have narrowed the search down to fifty people." she said as she waited for the team to give her more parameters. "men whose families were murdered." Elizabeth said as she bit her lip and stared at the phone.
"goes down to twenty." the blonde over the phone spoke and everyone sighed. "these families lived within two miles of each other. Place that into your search too." JJ said, the blonde stood behind Elizabeth.
"okay uhm." Garcia muttered. "five people." she announced as Elizabeth looked over her shoulder to face JJ. "the kid in the family would of been around ten." Emily said and Garcia's nails were heard on her keyboard.
"yes!" Garcia yelled. "found him. Thirty one year old Liam Hull. Lives in the hunting zone. No priors." She told everyone the information that they needed to know. "address is on your phones." she added on before ending the call.
Elizabeth and the rest of the team all stood up and was out of the conference room within five minutes and all was in two separate SUV's. Rossi and Morgan being the drivers of both, with Elizabeth and JJ with Rossi and the rest with Morgan.
Elizabeth lent up and pressed a button which connected the speaker to the others. "okay, you three can go round the back and we will take the front." Hotch's voice came through the speaker and Rossi agreed for his little team.
To get to Liam's house, it took thirty minutes as he lived on the outer part of the city and was surrounded by tons of land and water. "he sure lives off the grid." JJ joked as both cars parked next to each other and all got out, placing their FBI vests on.
Elizabeth, JJ and Rossi crept towards the back of the house, guns and flashlights drawn and Elizabeth went first - reminding JJ and Rossi of a female Morgan. "ready?" Rossi asked the brunette and the blonde before Elizabeth kicked the door down.
The newest agent entered the house first and instantly separated from the other two to cover more ground. Elizabeth stalked through the kitchen and saw it was empty but she checked all of the places where he could possibly hide. The female saw a door which led to the basement and she slowly opened the door and started the small walk down the stairs.
Elizabeth's heel on her boot was the only thing that she could hear as she stepped into the basement. The brunette held her gun high and looked around, taking in the surroundings and she walked deeper into the basement to search around. "basement." she muttered into her piece connected to her vest which let the team hear each other.
"i'm coming." Morgan's voice followed shortly after and Elizabeth felt okay knowing she had backup coming but she didn't wait for him to come before searching more. Elizabeth's eyes found a cupboard with shutter doors on them and she heard a little shuffle but it came from a corner on the opposite side of the room.
Elizabeth started to walk over there when she was tackled to the ground. "oof." she let out when she landed on the ground but she was able to turn around to see Liam on top of her. "it isn't nice to pin people down." she snarled as she kicked him in the stomach, making him fall down to the ground.
The agent searched for her gun as it was knocked out of her hand when she was tackled. Elizabeth found it near the washing machine and she ran over to it but she was dragged to the ground by Liam again. "get off me." she growled and kicked him in the face, standing up again and grabbing her gun.
Elizabeth knew she had to shoot him in the leg to lower the risk of her getting more injured. The team that was searching the rest of the house heard a gun shot from the basement and all ran the location of the basement before heading down there.
"Hunters!" JJ yelled and she ran down the stairs to see Elizabeth standing over Liam with her gun in her hands and also seeing blood coming out of her nose, ear and a cut from a forehead cut. "you okay?" Rossi ran over to detain Liam but looked over to the agent.
"what happened?" Hotch came down the stairs with Morgan to see the rest of the team around Elizabeth and Liam. "he attacked Liz." Emily told the boss before taking Liam out of the basement and to the cop car.
"i'm sorry, something came up." Morgan apologised to Elizabeth but the brunette shook him off and placed her gun in the holster before exiting the house and getting in the SUV. "i'm fine." she said when JJ and Rossi got into the car.
"oh my!" Garcia exclaimed when the team walked through the doors and saw the injuries on Elizabeth's face. "i'm okay." she smiled as Garcia hugged her. "let her breath mumma." Morgan pulled her off as Elizabeth walked to her desk.
The day was finally over.
