Criminal Minds Series Rewrite: Season Two

Aftermath: Part Three

"I'd like to make a request," Derek grins when he gets her on the phone. "Alright, listen, it's a marketing firm by the name of First Hand Media. I want you to see if they have any connection to the colleges from the first set of victims... That's a beautiful thing. One last favor. Look up the words sexy and brilliant in that computer of yours and tell me what you come up with." The women who were chatting nearby pause when they hear his words, and you just smirk to yourself. "You are a goddess woman. Ciao." Derek hangs up and finally notices the women staring at him. "It was a... It was a work call."

"So," you slink up to his side as you two head back to Hotch and Maggie, "do you have the hots for Ms. Penelope Garcia?"

"Shut up," Derek groans playfully.

"What? I'm serious," you giggle.

"Oh, like how you're in love with Spencer and won't tell him?"

"W-what?" you stutter. "I don't love him. We barely started dating."

"Your body language says differently," Derek grins. "It doesn't take a psychic to see that."

"Yeah, well, I'm still trying to figure out my feelings for him. I do like him a lot, though. Speaking of body language, yours seem to suggest you have feelings for Pen."

"I don't know. Maybe," he chuckles.

"We found First Hand Media's home base," you say to Hotch when you get back to them.

"Let's go."

You four meet the rest of the team there because you might need a lot of back up if this man is going to be at First Hand Media. Craig, the manager, is very upset you think one of his guys is a serial rapist.

"You really think this rapist is one of my guys?" Craig asks in disbelief.

"Well, he's used to being in strangers' homes and is always on the phone. That's how he's confident. Thanks to your research, he feels like he knows these women," Gideon says.

"We're going to need a list of any employees you have that worked in a fertility clinic and university questionnaires," you state seriously.

"I give every employee complete access to all of our materials. It helps keep them fresh if they can alternate between types of calls."

"So, what you're saying is that I fill out my intimate personal information, and then you just share it with everyone you have working here for minimum wage?" you ask with a bit of an attitude.

"I sense an attitude."

"Yeah, you're damn right you do," you snap.

"We need copies of every single questionnaire that you got from the clinic," Elle steps in. "We can get a warrant here in about an hour if you prefer."

"If you think about it, all I'm doing is profiling, just like you guys."

"Let's not think about it."

Craig sighs and gets the files you need, and you are shocked that it's so many. There are so many that it will take at least four members of your team to carry the boxes.

"All these?" Spencer gasps.

"We cover the entire Great Lakes region."

"Let's narrow it down. The guy we're looking for is a white male between the ages of twenty and forty, socially awkward and unable to make connections easily," Spencer tries to narrow it down.

"I have two hundred and fifty employees. Most of those are men, and every single one of them matches the description you just gave me."

"Right, well, thanks for your time. Keep being an upstanding member of society," you say sarcastically and grab two boxes.
