You nod your head. "Don't worry, if you've got something going with her, I'll give you your space." You say. The more you think about what he just said to you, the more it feels like he practiced that speech in his head for days. He must really love this girl. The relieved look on his face supports that.

He pats you on the back and walks away. "See you on the jet."

Stepping onto the jet is like a dream. It almost doesn't feel real. Everyone sits down with their copy of the case file as the jet takes off. The flight from Quantico to Tampa isn't horribly long, so everyone settles in and discusses the case.

Morgan squints at the autopsy report he's reading. "So both of our deceased victims were burned on the genitals with acid. Does that mean the unidentified subject has a job that provides access to this acid?"

"Actually, acid strong enough to burn human flesh is extremely common and available. Sulfuric acid, which is acidic enough to damage the skin, is commonly sold at your average hardware store, and is used for cleaning out drain pipes." Reid interjects.

You sit up. "There has to be a connection between the unsub and these couples, at least in the unsub's mind. It's no coincidence that these couples were both abducted together on date night." You say.

Hotchner nods his head as everyone continues to flip through the files.
