CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: GAMBLE IT ALL AWAY !
7x13━━━━━━
THE TEAM HAD A CASE DOWN IN ATLANTIC CITY. Home of the poker players and gamblers. Casey couldn't help but notice that Garcia wasn't presenting the case and she was late this morning. She was never late.
"Danny Savino, the floor manager at the Sapphire Lady Casino in Atlantic City was found dead in his office this morning." Hotch presented. "Blunt force trauma to the head. An empty wallet and money clip left next to the body." Rossi told and as Casey sipped from her cup of coffee, she noticed a disheveled Garcia walking in the room.
"Mug shot. This guy's got a record." Morgan says. "Savino was a member of the Agnoli crime family." Rossi told and Garcia apologizes for being late. "Sorry. Sorry." She takes a spot in between Casey and JJ.
"How's the head?" JJ whispers to Garcia. "Not all the aspirins in all the pharmacies..." Garcia whispers. Morgan waves at Garcia and she avoids eye contact with him. Makes it look a little suspicious and Casey couldn't help but notice.
"It looks like a robbery gone bad. Why was the BAU called in?" Emily asks. "Eight one-dollar bills surrounding an 8 card. That's highly ritualistic." Reid points out. "And because Savino has ties to organized crime, agents in New Jersey are worried about things escalating." Hotch explains.
"Well, it doesn't take much to ignite a mob war." Casey says. "And collateral damage means nothing to these guys." Rossi adds. "If we don't get a handle on this soon, innocent people are gonna die."
With that, the team headed onto the jet, engaging conversation about their favorite gangster flicks. "No question. Godfather II, hands down." Emily tells. "No, no, gotta be Scarface." Morgan voices.
"Bronx Tale, come on!" Casey added.
"For me, The Untouchables. Spence?" JJ asks."Mm, probably Le Cercle Rouge, the 1970s French classic. But Den Tredje Vaagan is definitely a close second." Reid tells. "Yeah, that was my runner-up, too." Emily chuckles.
"What about you, Rossi? Best ever gangster flick." JJ tells. "I've had too much of the real thing to be a fan of mob movies." Rossi answers. "I'm not even surprised with that answer." Casey comments.
"Garcia, did we get the crime scene surveillance video yet?" Hotch asks Garcia on the laptop screen. "No, sir, because there wasn't any."
