"Doesn't anybody ever go home?" Gideon sighed, walking into the office.

"The answer to that sir, is no." Elijah shook his head.

"Well, you're here." Fleur shrugged.

"Exactly. Trust me, you don't want to model your social life after mkne." Gideon sighed.

"If it makes you feel any better, Hotch and Morgan took off." JJ walked over.

"Hotch is married and Morgan is, well, he's Morgan." Reid flipped through his book,"What's that?"

"Police in Dayton, Ohio need help with a serial rapist." JJ began handing out files.

"Whats the story?" Elle looked up at her.

"Three months ago, he raped five students at a small Bible college. Roughly an attack a week, then suddenly nothing. Until nine days ago, when he suddenly reappeared with a whole new victim pattern. Both those women are in their thirties. They were raped about five days apart." JJ showed picturs of the women.

"Where have the new attacks taken place?" Elijah asked.

"Oppisite ends of the city. He was waiting for them when they got home." She sighed.

"How do we know it's the same guy?" Fleur looked up.

"He leaves voicemails for them." JJ sighed.

"Freezing them with fear before they even see him." Reid nodded.

"And they don't recognize the voice?" Gideon raised a brow.

"No. Cops even have DNA but it's not in the system." JJ shrugged.

"Why does someone attacking college students suddenly widen his net?" Elijah asked.

"Serial rapists hardly ever change victimilogy once it's established. It's based on a fantasy that's very specific." Reid pointed.

"Maybe he's telling these women that no one is safe." Elle spoke up.

"Call Hotch and Morgan. Tell them wheels up as soon as we're cleared to take off." Gideon packed his things, taking the nail varnish from beside Elijah and walking off.

"..Yes sir." Fleur sighed.

"Guess he's not a fan of yellow." Elijah chuckled softly, although he was visibly uncomfortable.

"I have some back at my desk." Fleur assured him.

"Is he like this with you three?" Elijah looked around at the girls.

"Only if it's too much." JJ shrugged.

Elijah nodded slowly, putting his hands on his pockets.

"Come on, I'll get you some spare." Fleur nudged Elijah.

"I think they look good on you." Reid spoke up.

"Thanks, pretty boy." Elijah smiled at him.

Reid gave a small smile before he looked back at his book.

*********************************

"You tend to forget, don't you?" Hotch asked.

"Forget what?" Gideon looked at Hotch.

"The different moods on the plane." Hotch sighed,"I think the mindsets different when the victim is alive."

"Okay, we got new information on last nights victim." JJ walked through,"Alcia Jordan, MO is the same. He was waiting for her to get home. He broke in through the back and he subdued her with a gun."

"Answering machine?" Elijah turned to her.

"Left a message about an hour or so before." JJ nodded,"I can't imagine being taunted like that in my own house, you know?"

"Well, the messages aren't taunts. They're overtures." Gideon shook his head,"I think we're ready', 'trust me', he's being sincere."

"Sounds like we're dealing with a power reassurance rapist." Fleur placed her uno card down in front of Elijah.

"To him, the messages are courtships, he's introducing himself to the victims." Reid crossed his arms.

"If that's the case he must've stalked them to know so much about their lives." Hotch sighed.

"The first victims were all college students, all religious. Why change?" Elijah asked as he sat a card down,"Uno."

Fleur leaned her head back,"Dick." She muttered.

"Have the police found any connection between the latest victims?" Morgan asked.

"No, nothing yet." JJ shook her head.

"We have to figure out what made him go off script." Gideon scanned the pictures.

*********************************

"Alicia, we're with the FBI." Hotch showed his badge,"We understand that you've already spoken to the police but we were hoping there were a few questions you can answer for us."

"Everytime I think it's over someone else wants to photograph me or touch me or ask me to relieve it." Alicia sighed.

"We will keep this short, I promise." Elle assured her.

After Alicia had explained her story, Hotch spoke up,"You said your attacked knew the things you thought. What did you mean by that?"

"He said we weren't the type of people to just stay inside and read books and he talked about taking me to Postantino, Italy." Alicia's voice broke,"And drinking white wine and listening to Al Green."

"Is there any significance to that?" Fleur asked.

"My favourite place in the world, my favourite drink and my favourite singer. I don't understand how he could know any of it." Alicia told them.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to listen to this and tell me if the man's attitude sound the same as when he was in your house." Hotch sighed, playing an audio recording.

Alicia shook her head,"He sounded different."

"How so?" Reid tilted his head.

"More nervous. Even though he had a gun, it was like he was afraid to talk." Alicia looked down.

"Thank you." Hotch nodded.

"What does it matter how he sounded?" Alicia questioned.

"On the phone, he can rehearse. In the flesh, he can't hide his true self." Reid explained.

"I don't understand.."

"In this delusion, the man thinks of these attacks as dates." Reid told her.

"I didn't do anything to make him think that." Alicia cried.

"We know you didn't... This is enough." Fleur sighed, handing her a blanket.

"Thank you very much." Hotch nodded to her as they left.

*********************************

"When the attacks first started they put guards at all the gates on campus, but that man still somehow got in the dorm rooms." A girl walked down the stairs.

"Had you noticed anybody new on campus?" Morgan asked.

"We've already talked about this." She turned to the Detective.

"I know it's hard, but sometimes its helpful to go through it." Callaghan told her.

"Maybe someone quiet who seemed like he was always just a little too close." Morgan tried.

"I don't think so." She shook her head.

"What about someone who's suddenly not around anymore?" Elijah asked.

That got the girl thinking,"Before that man did what he did, he told me I should get a dog for protection. And then he said, 'or maybe you could let your parents have Dexter stay with you'."

"Any males in your life that you may have told about the family dog?" Morgan raised a brow.

"I don't have any experience with boys." She chuckled before looking at the men,"There's no one I would have told."

"Morgan, let's have a look around campus." Elijah whispered as JJ nodded to them.

Morgan nodded, walking off with Elijah,"Hey man, can we talk?"

"Of course, what's up?" Elijah turned to him.

"Fleur... She isn't seeing anyone, right? I know that prank with you and her was fake but I just... I just wanna know." Morgan shrugged.

"Oh, Morgan, honey... She's very single." Elijah hummed,"Her and I are not an item and there are no other guys currently."

"My man." Morgan chuckled,"You sure?"

"I have never been more sure in my life. Fleur tells me practically everything." Elijah smirked,"Now what else do you want to know?"

"What about you, kid? Any men?" Morgan nudged him.

"Well, I've got my eyes on one but he's an oblivious moron." Elijah shook his head.

"Any chance he's... Smart?"

"Likes sweater vests and can remember everything he reads? Yeah. That one." Elijah sighed.

"You know what? I see it." Morgan nodded.

"I wish he did."

"You guys would he cute." He hummed.

"I know we would but... I don't think it would please a certain someone at the office." Elijah shook his head.

"Trust me, if he ever said anything about it? I'll be the first one to say something."

"He's already made it quite clear he isn't my biggest fan."

"I know." He sighed.

"I can't tell Reid." Elijah shook his head,"It would crush him.."

"Let me know if Gideon bothers you, okay?" He patted his back.

"This is why Fleur has a thing for you, Morgan." Elijah smiled softly, "You're a great guy."

"She likes me as well?" Morgan blinked.

"Of course she does." Elijah stopped,"Oh- I wasnt meant to tell you that."

Morgan laughed,"Kid, I love you."

"Aw, love you too, bro." Elijah chuckled.

"Come on, let's have a look around."

"On it."

*********************************

"Spencer?" Fleur crossed her arms.

"Fleur?" Reid spun around to look at her.

"Can we talk?"

"Is it about the case?" He asked.

"Not exactly." She shook her head.

"Alright then, what do you need to talk about?"

"So the girls and I were just chatting about boys and girls... Is there anyone that maybe catches your eye?"

"I- Well- I don't see how this question or the topic relates to the case in any way." Reid quickly shook his head.

"It doesn't, it's just... A little chat." Fleur shrugged.

"Okay, fine... There might be a guy."

"A guy?" Fleur smiled.

"Yes, yes- A guy." Reid sighed.

"Aw, Reid." Fleur nudged him,"So... Who is it?"

"That's a secret." Reid pointed.

"My lips are sealed, I'm the best at keeping secrets." Fleur nodded.

Reid looked around before speaking, his voice quiet,"It's Elijah."

Fleur gasped and jumped,"Really?"

"Yes, really, but you can't tell him." Reid pointed.

"I'm not- My lips are sealed." Fleur covered her mouth.

"Good." Reid nodded,"How are things with you and Morgan?"

"Me and Morgan?" Fleur tilted her head.

"He talks about you a lot, like more than the average girl he talks about."

"He does?" Fleur hummed,"What does he say?"

"Well, he thinks your hair is pretty and that you constantly look like you're going to kill someone but he's into that." Reid rambled.

"He's into that?"

"Yeah, Morgan's into a lot of things."

"Well... I know Elijah has a crush on someone."

"Who?" Reid blinked.

"I don't know if I can say.." Fleur bit her cheek.

"I'm sure I could figure it out." Reid nodded quickly.

"You can?"

"Elijah has surprisingly shallow pool of people he interacts with frequently."

"I think we all do." Fleur agreed.

"I think I could wittle down a list of possible people fairly quickly." Reid shrugged

Fleur hummed,"Come on, let's work on the case."

"Of course." He nodded, walking back over to the board.

*********************************

Once Fleur had gotten her hotel room sorted, she made her way to Elijah's room and knocked on the door.

"Enter if you dare." Elijah hummed.

"I dared." Fleur walked in, closing the door behind her.

"Always a brave one, you are." Elijah turned around.

"Nothing scares me." Fleur shrugged.

"Not even my incredibly manly pyjamas?" Elijah gestured to himself.

"You are in a cat onesie." Fleur blinked.

"I know, look at it!" Elijah pulled the hood on to show her,"I ordered you one last week but it hasn't come yet."

"I can't wait to wear it." Fleur chuckled, sitting down.

"Now, what brings you to my humble abode?" Elijah asked her.

"I have interesting gossip."

"Ooh, tell me." Elijah immediately sat beside her on the bed.

"I know someone that has a crush on you."

Elijah gasped,"This can either be amazing or horrible, who is it?"

"Well let's think, Eli... Who do you like?" She pointed.

"No... No, you're lying. He does not." Elijah pointed.

"He does so." Fleur smiled.

"W-well, guess who asked me if you were single earlier?" Elijah shook his head.

"Me? Who?"

"Oh, just a very muscular FBI Agent who's named starts with a 'D'." Elijah winked.

"No way." Fleur gasped.

"Yes way!"

"Spencer likes you and Derek likes me?"

"Can you believe it?" Elijah laid back on the bed.

"Do you think they'll let us know?" Fleur laid back beside him.

"Morgan, I see it." Elijah nodded,"Reid... I don't think so."

"Well maybe you're the one that needs to tell him." She turned to him.

"I will, but we'll need to be secretive with it." Elijah sighed.

"I know.." She sighed.

"Did you know he has a box of things he's confiscated from me? I've seen it through his blinds." Elijah scoffed.

"Jerkface." Fleur shook her head.

"If he could send me home to change, you know he would."

"Well, I love your outfits."

"As do I." Elijah looked up at the ceiling,"Is... Is Elle okay?"

"I don't know... I've noticed that too." Fleur sighed.

"She hasn't seemed... Right. Not since we've started this case." Elijah shook his head.

"There may be a past trauma." Fleur sat up,"Might be... Triggering her?"

"Poor girl." Elijah shook his head,"I'd hate to have to put myself through something like that."

Fleur nodded slowly,"I am going to head to bed."

"Try not to think too much about Morgan." Elijah hummed.

"And you with Reid." Fleur pointed as she got up.

"Oh, I make no promises." Elijah chuckled.

Fleur chuckled,"Goodnight Eli."

"Goodnight, darling." Elijah smiled at her as she walked out.

Fleur went back to her room, going to bed quite quickly.

*********************************

"Hey, I talked to the other two victims in their thirties." Morgan told the group as they walked in,"They'd both gone to a fertility clinic five days before their attack."

"Same one each time?" Fleur raised a brow.

"Yeah." Morgan nodded.

"Have Garcia run employment records. We might be looking at someone that works there or has access to their medical records." Gideon told Elle.

"You got it." Elle picked up some files,"What's the significance of the five days?"

"The most popular fertility drug is clomiphene. The clinic would most likely have a policy not to attempt insemination until the drug regimen was complete." Reid explained.

"So then getting there before the insemination guarantees the Unsub paternity." Elijah nodded slowly.

"He's trying to get them pregnant. He hasn't changed his fantasy. He merely found a way to perfect it." Fleur realised.

"Well, it explains the change in victimology. He targeted young, ultra religious girls who he assumed didn't want an abortion." Morgan agreed.

"So when Shelly killed herself, he decided to change it up and go after women who are desperate to have a baby." Elle shrugged.

"If the Unsub knew Shelly Norvell was pregnant, it means he's still watching his past victims." Gideon shook his head before turning to Elle,"Elle. Talk to Callahan. Tell her we need patrols monitoring everyone on that victim list."

"You got it." Elle walked off.

"You ever seen anything like this before?" Derek sighed.

"Gary Heidnik in Philadelphia. He kept women prisoner in a dungeon for years in hopes of impregnated them." Reid nodded.

"Heidnik was a sexual sadist. He tortured the women and even ended up eating one of them. This is a power reassurance rapist." Gideon explained.

"So in this guy's twisted mind these are love stories?" Elijah crossed his arms.

"Of course they are. He's starting families." Gideon sighed.

*********************************

"I'm sorry, but whoever is committing these crimes couldn't possibly work at this clinic. I'm the only man here." Doctor Wagner shook his hesd.

"But that doesn't mean that there isn't a connection. We need your help to figure out what might be." Hotch sighed.

"Can you excuse me for a moment? Can you fill that out please? Yes, right there." Wagner handed a woman a form as she walked in before turning back to the agents,"Look, what's happening is just horrible but the margins on these types of clinics are incredibly slim. And if word got out that there was a connection to this rapist, my practice would be ruined."

"To be honest, I don't care about your practise. Three women were raped after coming here. That's not a coincidence, it's a pattern." Callahan crossed her arms.

"If you're implying that I could be a suspect, I should let you know that I had a vasectomy twenty-five years ago." Wagner told her.

"We just want to know if there's anyone in and out of this clinic who fits the profile." Fleur sighed.

"Quiet, lives alone, awkward with women yet hangs around the office a little too long just to be near them?" Morgan raised a brow.

"No, it's a small clinic. I only hire women. My patients are just much more comfortable around them." Wagner shrugged.

"What about outsourcing? Computer support, janitor?" Hotch asked.

"My daughter handles all the technical business. And I have a cleaning crew of two women. I'm sorry." Wagner took the form from the woman from earlier

"What is that, doctor?" Hotch looked down at the form.

"It's just a questionnaire we hand out to learn more about their client base." Wagner handed Hotch the form.

"This is everything the Unsub knew about the victims." Morgan pointed out.

"Who else sees these?" Fleur looked at the form.

"I don't compromise the medical privacy of my patients." Wagner shook his head.

"Who else sees these?" Hotch asked firmer.

"Well, I sell the forms to a direct marketing company called First Hand Media. They only target buying habits." Wagner admitted,"No medical information changes hands. It's not illegal."

"Yeah, but the margins on a place like this. Word gets out, your practise would be ruined." Callahan shrugged.

*********************************

"You really think this rapist is one of my guys?" The man from First Hand Media asked.

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

"We're gonna need a list of employees that worked on the fertility clinic and university questionnaires." Reid told him.

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

"So I fill out my intimate, personal information and you just share it with everyone you have working here for minimum wage?" Elijah raised a brow.

"I sense an attitude." The worker crossed his arms

"You'll be doing a lot more than that-" Elijah began.

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

"Look, if you think about it all I'm doing is profiling, just like you guys." The worker told them.

"Well, let's not think about it." Elijah shook his head as Gideon walked off.

The man bent down, grabbing a box and placed a handful of files in it before handing the box to Reid.

"All of these?" He raised a brow.

"We cover the entire Great Lakes region." The worker shrugged.

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

"I have two hundred and fifty employees. Most of those are men and everyone just matched that description you gave me." The worker turned to the window.

*********************************

"Wow, I heard you hit a wall of paper." Morgan chuckled as he walked in with his coffee.

"Mention it again and I might kill you." Elijah sighed.

"Jesus." Fleur blinked at the amount of paper as she followed Morgan in.

"You can lock your doors but people still find a way into your home. Elle, it might be worth going back to the victims. It's a long shot but maybe somebody remembers a first name from a telemarketing call." Hotch sighed.

"Yeah, the Unsub feels a connection with them so he wouldn't lie or use an alias." Elle nodded as she stood up and walked out.

"We know this guys DNA's not in the system, but I'll cross check employment records against sexual misdemeanours. Peeping..Exposure.." Morgan listed.

"Good." Hotch nodded as Morgan walked off.

Elijah looked down at the paper in front of him and took off his glasses, rubbing his eyes.

"Take a break, I'll take over." Fleur walked over.

"Thanks." Elijah sighed as he stood up.

"Too much information for that small brain." Fleur tapped his temple.

"It's actually because I have poor vision and I've been straining my eyes trying to read all these forms." Elijah poked her.

Fleur hummed, sitting down as she grabbed some files.

"I've separated the Dayton forms from the rest of the region." Reid handed some to Fleur.

"So what do we know from the latest set of victims?" Elijah asked as he paced with his eyes closed.

"They're all single and all over thirty five." Fleur nodded.

"Each of them also indicated recently buying books on babies and child-rearing." Reid added.

"So he knows they're committed to having children, which means they're less likely to abort, even in the cases of rape." Hotch sighed

"Get this. Each of the women also ticked the 'yes' box when asked if it would be okay to check on them on special deals on pediatric items." JJ pointed out.

"In the Unsub's mind, they've consented. He thinks he's doing them a service." Reid cursed.

"Check those forms for each of those elements." Hotch instructed as he stood up,"If we can narrow down a list of potential victims, we can be waiting for him."

Everyone then began scanning the papers, flipping through them.

"Any hits?' Hotch asked.

"I've got one." JJ nodded.

"Reid? Howards?" Hotch looked.

"Nothing." Reid shook his head, as did Fleur.

"Is this the only one?" JJ blinked.

"It's a small city. There can't be many single women in their late thirties going to the exact same fertility clinic." Reid nodded slowly.

"So we know who he's going after next." Hotch sighed.

"And we'll be waiting for him." Elijah crossed his arms.

*********************************

"Elle, we had nothing to pin him for." Fleur sighed as they sat in an office.

They had just arrested a suspect but if they didn't get a confession, they would need to let him walk.

"I know it's him." Elle shook her head.

"With what evidence?" Fleur crossed her arms.

"Come on, why else would he be there?" Elle sighed as Elijah walked in, closing the door behind him.

"Elle, we don't have anything on him." Elijah told her,"There's nothing we can do, legally."

"Unless he confesses, which they're trying to get him to." Fleur leaned back in her chair.

"Let's just try and calm down down, not do anything rash-"

"You want me to calm down? They're going to release a rapist back onto the streets." Elle pointed.

"They do it everyday, Elle." Fleur looked at her,"Every single day they let rapists out. We would've had something if you hadn't have freaked."

"Are you blaming me for this?" Elle questioned.

"Yes- No, I mean no." Elijah quickly shook his head,"But if you had stuck to the plan, we would've at least been able to charge him with something."

"We're trying to get him to confess, but we just need to see."

"As much as I hate to admit it, I don't think it'll work." Elijah sighed,"I can check in but he wasn't budging when I left."

"Can you go and have a check?" Fleur looked at Elijah.

"You should get some tea, it'll make you feel better." Elijah nodded slowly as he walked out.

"I'll make some for you." Fleur got up.

Meanwhile they still hadn't gotten anything from the suspect.

"Still nothing?" Elijah asked as he walked ino the room that viewed the interrogation room.

"Not at all, he won't budge." Reid shook his head.

"Is there any good news? At all?" Elijah sighed,"Because I swear, Elle looked like she was going to murder me."

"None." Reid looked at Elijah.

"Fleur's making her some tea to try and calm her down." He shook his head.

That's when Hotch came out,"He's free to go."

"I'll... I'll break the news to the others." Elijah nodded slowly,"And I'll try and keep Elle as far away from him as possible."

Hotch nodded as he stepped back. Elijah sighed and walked back to the office where Fleur and Elle were. Fleur looked over at Elijah as Elle turned.

Elijah bit his lip, shaking his head as he closed the door,"He's free to go."

"What?" Elle scoffed, pushing past Elijah to see the suspect leaving,"You're letting him walk?" She turned to Morgan.

"Elle, no." Elijah followed after her.

"Back off, Elle." Morgan shook his head.

"You don't know what he's done." Elle pointed.

"The only reason he's walking is because you panicked." Elijah sighed as Hotch and Gideon walked over.

"I'm supposed to believe that you've got my back?!" Elle pointed towards Hotch.

"What are you saying to me?" Hotch crossed his arms.

"The last time you sent me home, Hotch. I got shot." She spat.

"Elle, calm down." Fleur walked out.

"Walk with me, now." Gideon lead Elle off to the side.

"Everyone just get some rest. We're flying home in the morning." Hotch sighed.

"Don't need to tell me twice." Elijah raised his hands.

"Night all." Morgan sighed, holding his head.
