This is my first Criminal Minds Fanfic, I hope you enjoy. Reviews would be absolutely lovely.
Chapter 1Hotch looked around the table at the serious expressions regarding him. The team had been called in 3 days earlier and they still had no leads on the case.
"Let's go over what we know one more time."
"The unsub is male probably in his late 20's or early 30's. He is extremely intelligent. He is either gay or is close to someone who is gay. Most likely this gay person was assaulted for his sexual orientation and the authorities turned a blind eye to the situation. This has led to the unsub taking on the role of judge, jury, and executioner." Reid summarized.
Three weeks. Three sets of victims, six deaths. If he followed the pattern, the unsub would abduct another pair in the next 24 hours.
The team was working out of Quantico. The pairs of men were abducted from three different states. The first was in Kentucky, the second in Texas, the third in Arizona. Each pair of men were known to be best friends and were known to be homophobes.
The first pair of victims had been set free by a jury in spite of beating a young gay man to death. The official word was "insufficient evidence."
The second pair of victims had been police officers who had repeatedly been called to a local University for cases of assault against a gay victim. Each time, they let the perpetrators off with a warning.
The final pair of victims had lured a man out of a gay bar and had beaten him and left him for dead. No charges had been filed.
They knew the crimes were connected because the unsub posted videos of the kills on the internet.
He brought the victims to some kind of building and told them that he would set them free if they performed 8 challenges for his viewing audience. If they balked, he would kill them. The men tried to play along but balked when the challenges became "too gay." The last victims had been gassed after refusing to perform challenge 6.
The videos of all of the challenges were posted including the "final performance." So far, Garcia had tracked each video to a wireless hotspot near the abduction site for that pair of victims. Their bodies were found near the abduction point as well. Not near enough for law enforcement to set up a sting but near enough to demonstrate that he was returning the victims.
After a detailed analysis of the videos, they concluded that they were all filmed at the same location. So the unsub was catching them, transporting them, videoing them, uploading the videos several times a day and then returning the bodies and dumping them.
The team wondered if he had an accomplice at each of the abduction sites to upload the videos. There was no location that he could travel back and forth to in the time available from all three abduction sites. Local police were in the process of canvasing the three hot spots to see if anyone had forwarded uploads to mask their origin points.
How do you prevent an abduction that could occur anywhere in the country? Victims were homophobic males. Unfortunately that left a possible victim pool that was far too wide.
The team worked late into the night but eventually Hotch sent them home to sleep. His last thought as he collapsed into bed was about how tomorrow, they would probably be faced with a new set of victims.
