3x02 - In name and blood

❁❁❁

          Agents were swarming around the BAU office when my heels hit against the floor, effectively shutting everyone up. I guess you could say, I had definitely changed from the last time anyone had seen me - including everyone that I had met last year. 

Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss and JJ were nowhere to be seen but that didn't mean that I didn't see Reid - sitting alone at his desk, I shook my head, he was such a shy male. "This isn't unusual for you is it, Spencer?" I questioned as I leaned my hip against his desk. 

He looked up shocked at the sound of my voice, during the investigation last year - we had gotten close, and kept in contact - so hearing my voice was an obvious shock for him. "Kat?" He questioned, standing up. 

"Hey Spence." I say and he smiles brightly, like it was the first time in days doing that before he pulled me into a tight hug. "Woah, easy there big boy. I'm still fragile." I say, pointing out that my broken ribs were still healing.

"Oh my, I'm sorry." He says, quickly letting me go. "Kat, what are you doing here?" He questioned, tilting his head to the side. A small smirk tugged at the edges of my lips, as I bit the inside of my cheek.

"Agent Argent," Strauss's voice sounded from behind me and I turned to face the blonde women that had called me, no less than two weeks ago. "Thanks for coming on such short notice, I hope you're prepared to work in this team alongside the normal members?" She asks and I nod. 

"I'm always prepared, and I'm a hard worker." I say and she nods. 

"Welcome to the team." She says, before walking away with a tight lipped frown on her face and I rolled my eyes as she turned around and walked away. 

"Well, she is a ball of fucking sunshine isn't she?" I questioned, turning to face a shocked Spencer. "Spencer, snap out of it - back in the room." I say, clicking my fingers and a grin erupted on his face. 

"You're joining the team?" He questioned, and I let out a giggle before nodding and he hugged me again, picking me up at the same time and I had to contain the laugh and scream that I was going to let out at the same time. 

"Easy pretty boy, what's got you in a happy mood?" I heard Derek ask as Spencer puts me down, my heart picked up as I turned to face the two people I hadn't seen in over a year. 

"Hey Morgan, JJ." I say, and they gaped at me shocked - before JJ pulled me into her arms. "Woah, easy there. Like I told Spence over there, fragile." I say, and she pulls back to examine me.

"What happened?" She questioned, and I rolled my eyes. 

"Her rib-" I glared at Reid and he instantly shut up, Derek furrowed his eyebrows and JJ looked at me confused. 

"It's really, nothing to be worried about. It was a little injury." I conclude and JJ nodded, although she didn't look like she believed me. 

"I have to present these to the team, so Spence, Morgan conference room." She says, and I let out a small laugh. Reid just smiled and Morgan looked between the both of us with a confused look and a frown on his face. 

"What, what are you two hiding?" He questions, and a smirk appears on my face. 

"Agent Argent here, has joined the team. I hope you two make her welcome." Strauss says from behind the two older, more seasonal agents. Morgan and JJ looked at me shocked and happy.

"Oh my god, Kat that's amazing!" JJ congratulated me, before pulling me into a tight side hug or the most she could with all the files she had in her arms. 

"JJ, do you want me to help you before you drop everything?" I question and she nods before handing me some files. I nodded at Morgan as we headed towards the conference room. 

"What no Hotch and now no Gideon?" Morgan questions, as I settle down on a chair - confused on where two of the agents were, Hotch and Gideon were the only two that knew I was joining the team but it still surprised me that they weren't here. 

"No, not yet." JJ says, twirling her pen in her fingers and I gnawed on my cheek as Morgan set his coffee down. 

"You know these guys have been out two weeks, you'd think the least they'd do is be here on time." Morgan says and Reid narrows his eyes. 

"And you've never been late before?" Reid retorts back. 

"Easy Spence," I say, bitting onto my pen but Morgan ignored him and asked the next question.

"And where's Prentiss?" He questioned, my eyes fluttered over to where Morgan was looking at and guessed that is where Emily normally sat. 

"Her phone keeps going straight to voicemail." JJ says and I look up.

"I'll call her, surprising me and Spence weren't the only ones that kept in touch when you guys left. Me and Em did too." I say, standing up and pulling my phone from my back pocket. I clicked on her phone number and it started to ring.

"This is Emily Prentiss," She says, and I sigh.

"Em, where are you?" I question.

"Sorry, I couldn't answer your phone call - leave a message under the dial." She says, and I groan before ending it.

"Voicemail, she must be busy." I say, pushing my phone back into my back pocket.

      "Right now a police force in Milwaukee need our help," JJ says as Morgan drinks from his cup. I drank from my take away coffee from a cafe down the street from my apartment, as I looked at JJ and ignored the stares I was getting from Morgan. 

She clicked on her tablet, and four pictures went on the big screen. "They've had four murders in the past three weeks and in addition, a women has been missing for the past two days." She says as I put my cup down on the table. 

"That's a rapid escalation time." I say, and JJ nods in agreement. 

"They've all been women in their thirties, married with children." JJ says, and I felt instantly bad for their families. God knows what they are going through without them. My hand instantly went to my phone knowing the photo I had last with my family was on it.

"Any connection between these victims?" Morgan asks, and JJ shakes her head and gnaws on her lip.

"Just that they have been abducted from the area of Wauwatosa." JJ says, and I tilted my head to the side - that is a very small town, if I hadn't been there before I wouldn't have know where it was. 

"It's says there were all abducted from very public places, no witness's. That must be very hard, unless they're using a ruse, to get them out of the public area and into a more confined and private area." I say, closing my file. 

"How are we even certain it's the same killer." He asks, and I look at the ME's report, my eyes widen as I realise how we knew it was the same killer. 

"Well for starters her's dumping all the bodies in the city's third ward," JJ says, hitting something on her tablet, showing off the body's in the third ward. "And there's this." JJ says.  

"And, he's taking their hearts. All of the victims hearts." I say, closing the file as I squeeze my eyes shut - that's some weird ritual. 

"Welcome to our live now, Argent. This is just the beginning." Morgan says, and I glare tightly at him, already knowing about this life since I basically lived in this life as a victim - which he obviously remembers by the time he gave me a small smile, a reassuring one.

            "I didn't know she came on cases with us," I whispered to Morgan, who was sitting across from me in the plane and he looked up from his file - before shaking his head. 

"That's because she doesn't, I think she only came because Hotch, Prentiss and Gideon are all not here." He whispers back, and I nod before leaning back against the chair. 

"You know from this angle, she almost looks human." JJ says, and I have to contain a small laugh at her comment, it seems like they dislike Strauss with a passion - but I didn't blame them, she broke up their team. 

"Has anyone heard from Emily yet?" Spence asks from beside me. 

"She was gone before I heard the news," JJ comments, and I nod in agreement as my eyes were focused on the file in front of me. 

"Now we're down two agents, and Gideon's MIA." Morgan says, and I flipped my pen around my finger - my gun now feeling increasingly heavy. I felt guilty, like somehow the fact that Hotch and Prentiss left were my fault. 

"Does this Strauss even been out of her o-" Spencer was about to ask but was cut off by her coming to stand beside us. 

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's protocol to brief everyone before we arrive at the crime scene." She says and JJ nods, as I stand up - shooting Reid a sympathetic smile and walking to get a coffee - basically giving up my seat for her.

"This UnSub is abducting women from very public places but leaves no witnesses." JJ says, as I lean against something to keep me supported while the coffee pot was brewing. After working in the police station in Kansas for a while, I knew how coffee was important to keep all of us awake on a job. 

"He holds them for 48 hours, with no sexual assault, and then dumps them without their hearts in their chests." She says, and I wince - Derek noticed it, but didn't say anything about it - which I'm glad, but by the looks of it, he did. 

"There's an obvious dichotomy in the skill the UnSub exhibits, in abducting these women and the fact that he cuts out their hearts so crudely." Spencer says, looking at the photos as I did. 

"Probably looking for someone in the midst of a psychotic break, with all this rage and delusion it has to be." I say and Derek nods in agreement. 

"He could be a butcher, could be a hunter." Morgan says, continuing on what I was saying. I closed my file when I heard the coffee pot finish, JJ looked at me with pleading eyes and I held my hand out for her cup.

She handed it to me and I walked to grab us both coffee, because we were going to need a lot of it.
