Meier filed a five-count complaint against the…

In Name and Blood: Part Two
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Female!Reader
Word Count: ~1.7k
Warnings: canon violence, canon language, canon talk of death, methods of kill
Author’s Note: I do not own anything from Criminal Minds. All credit goes to their respective owners. If there is any warnings that exceed the normal death/kills from the show, I will list them. If you’ve seen the show, then it’s the same level of angst unless otherwise stated
By the time you got back to the police station, there is news of another kidnapping in the area.
"Hey. What do we know?" Vic asks.
"Woman's name is Claire Thompson. Her husband tried to reach her on the cell phone. When she didn't pick up, he drove to the department store. The car's in the parking lot, but she's not inside."
"Is that the husband?" JJ wonders, pointing to the man inside the station who looks distraught.
"Yeah. JJ, take Strauss with you," Derek informs.
The best thing he could have said by far.
"I had the department store uplink the security footage to your analyst in Quantico. My desk is over here," an officer says, leading your team to his desk.
Just then, Penelope requests a video chat. You lean over and press accept, and her face pops onto the screen.
"Garcia, baby girl, please tell me something I want to hear," Derek begs. "Did you locate the missing girl on the security footage?"
"On it. It's coming your way. Keep me on speaker, will you?"
The video pops up, and you can see the woman on screen looking through clothes and deciding what she wants to buy. Nothing seems out of the ordinary for this woman.
"She doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar," Spencer voices your thoughts.
Just then, a little boy comes into the frame and grabs her attention.
"Look. Who's the kid?"
"Does Claire have a son?" you ask.
"No, a two-year-old daughter."
"It looks likes the kid is lost."
Claire grabs the kid's hand and he escorts her out of the frame where you can no longer see her. You expect the video to change views, but nothing else comes.
"Penelope, this all you got?" you ask.
"That's it. They turned down a hallway without any security cameras, and we lose them."
"I'll get a list of missing kids, see if we can make out a resemblance to any of them," Vic offers.
"Shit," you sigh, thinking about what Hotch said. At this point, JJ and Strauss come back from talking to the husband. "It's something Hotch said. All the abductions and disposals have been timed around school time. We thought the unsub might work in the system. What if this guy's actually using his own son to lure his victims?"
"Then the profile changes, and we need to give it out as soon as possible," Derek says.
"I'll gather my men and women," Vic suggests and leaves the group.
Strauss has a look on her face that suggests she didn't like it when you said Hotch's name. It's like she doesn't want him being part of this team anymore. It worked really well before, why take him out now? Just because Elle went rouge, doesn't mean it was his fault. What happened with Gideon isn't his fault either, so she has no reason to bench him other than showing off that she is the boss of him, and whatever she says goes.
As soon as Vic gathers everyone on the force, your team stands in front to give the profile. Strauss stands off to the side to observe this since she doesn't really know how to participate in something like this.
"Detective Wolynski told us you're trying to single out trucks and vans. That's smart. The unsub is dumping his victims in the business district, so I'd agree with you--he's probably not driving something that would stand out. He may even have some type of company logo on the side of his vehicle as well," Derek begins.
"We know that he abducts the women in Wauwatosa and dumps their bodies somewhere in the third ward. Most unsubs keep their area of control--where they kill their victims--triangulated between the two points. This means that the unsub probably lives in Wauwatosa or the third ward. Somewhere in that area, and the people who live there know the unsub."
"There's no sexual component to these crimes, which means it's more about the unsub making a point. He's cutting their hearts out. It might just be that this is the sickest way the unsub knows to disfigure the women and to throw them out like trash. We can't really know," you add.
"The two most important questions to ask ourselves are: What is this guy doing with these women for forty-eight hours and why is he willing to use his own son to abduct them? If he is truly using his own son, then it's likely that he has what we call borderline personality disorder."
"Now, borderlines think that all relationships revolve entirely around them. When they set their mind to something, there is no gray area. It would also manifest in a way that would be visible to people around the unsub. Intense bouts of anger and depression or problems drinking. He would also be highly sensitive to rejection," Derek says.
"One last thing," you say before the meeting is disbanded. "It's not easy to crack a chest bone. This unsub knows how to work with his hands, and is used to hard labor. He's not afraid to get dirty."
"Thank you."
The officers all go their separate ways, and your team along with Vic meets in the empty conference room to talk about what to do next.
"I'll have triple the patrol in the area, and I've got every available unit recanvassing," Vic says.
"It's tough knowing they're out there and we're still a step behind," Derek sighs.
"You know, it used to be a running joke that if you told people you were from Milwaukee, all they wanted to talk about was Happy Days reruns. Then Dahmer happens and they ask you about it as if it's the same thing. As if it's entertainment, but I was in that apartment," Vic sighs.
You leave out the part where you helped capture Dahmer when you were traveling through the area. This isn't the time to get into that.
"Gideon, one of our bosses, says that there are things that attach to you that you can never wash off," Spencer adds.
"Alright, is it possible we're looking at this the wrong way?" JJ wonders.
"What do you mean?" Strauss asks.
"Well, we're trying to zero in on the unsub. Now, you guys tell me, but if he really is using his son, wouldn't the trauma manifest more clearly on the boy?"
"Can your analyst get a list of all the children in the area that we're targeting?"
"Garcia can get you whatever you want," Derek says.
He reaches for the phone in the middle of the room and dials her number by heart, placing her on speakerphone. You never know what you're going to get with Penelope when she knows that Derek is calling her. This is going to be good, you know it.
"Talk dirty to me," she answers.
You turn to Spencer's shoulder and giggle into it. Derek sighs knowing this isn't going to go well. Vic is just confused that this is how the FBI talk to each other. Straus... isn't amused at all. You smirk and look at Derek who just shakes his head.
"This is section chief Erin Strauss."
"Ma'am, I think it goes without saying that I was expecting it to be someone else."
"I need a list of every grade school in the third ward and Wauwatosa," she gets down to business.
"Yes, ma'am. The third ward has one public grade school, but there appear to be four private schools that draw from that area."
"And Wauwatosa?"
"That would be nine, ma'am."
"How many students?"
"Thirty-two hundred."
"Can you also get me a list of every guidance counselor that deals directly with the student body in that area?"
"Certainly, ma'am. And again, I'd like to a--"
Strauss doesn't care for her apology and hangs up on her, and your smile is lost at her behavior. Why is she acting like this? What stick does she have up her ass to make her so arrogant and rude? You'd like to show her where else that stick can go, but that wouldn't be the wisest decision to make.
"You need to present these counselors with a profile of a troubled kid."
She gives the orders, and you have to follow them in accordance with her liking. You and your team went to every school and talked to every single guidance counselor, but nothing ever came of it. You have so many files of troubled kids from every single one of them that your team now has to digress in order to figure out who might be luring these women to the unsub.
The boy you're looking for is possibly from a single-parent home. He's sullen and withdrawn who may have been caught stealing from the female teachers. He's more than likely clinging to maternal figures in inappropriate settings--hugging the female bus driver or the woman in the lunchroom. His classmates might notice this inappropriate behavior and tease him, which makes the boy incredibly angry.
With all the files matching this very vague descriptions, you have to now look through them with only five people to do it instead of seven.
"Alright, the boy doesn't look like he could be any older than seven," Derek says about the video of the kid taking the latest victim out of the store she was shopping in. "Let's work from youngest to oldest. Start with the worst behavior. Get the names of the parents, and send them over to Garcia. She can cross-check for criminal records. This guy is dumping bodies between 7:30 and 8:00. That gives us a little over twelve hours to make something hit. Let's get it done."
You're about to dive into your pile when you see two people who make your heart flip. Emily and Hotch are here, and they are here to help whether Strauss wants them to or not.
"Look who's here," Spencer smiles when he sees them.
"Hey, where do we start? How fast can you get us up to speed?"
"How fast can you sit down?" JJ jokes with her.
Straus chooses this moment to come in, and from the look of her face and the emotion you're feeling from her, she isn't happy about them being here.
"We're only here to help," Emily says before she has a chance to say something.
"We'll deal with this later."
Your entire team gets to work, going through all of the files, but nothing is coming up. You have one more hour left to keep looking, but by the pace you're all going at, you know that Claire is going to die before you figure out who took her. Another one dead, and you can't do anything about it.

Week 1: About Me
My name is Jaedan Nation. I am currently a Junior studying Finance at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. I recently switched majors, previously studying Accounting...hopefully this subtle, but also huge change is the correct direction I am taking in life. I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, attending most of my K-12 years attending schools in the Wauwatosa School District. There I was exposed to many different cultures and experienced a good amount of diversity, maybe slightly more than other students in different areas may have. That experience shaped the person I am today, and I very much see the same cultural differences and diversity at UWM. Outside of school, I like to indulge in things such as reading, watching informational videos, learning, and vacationing. Most of the items I read and watch are geared to business related subjects such as real estate, investing, and marketing. These are all related to my major and the career I want to someday have. These extra hours of basically studying makes me sharper/more knowledgeable than the average student.
Unfortunately, I took Design 124 just to satisfy my Arts Ger, but I am interested in the overview of the course and how I can apply the things I learn here to practical life. I am also not designing inclined, I never had the ability to make “art”, specifically draw. Although, I have had a good time in my past art classes I have taken. In most of them I had the ability just to be creative, no matter my skill level, so the art I was creating became fun and not just an assignment due.
Two things inspire, my mom first, then all the wonderful opportunities I see around me. Whether it is an ordinary businessman/woman working in the same field I am pursuing, or if it is a billionaire with a massive private jet. The point is I can find inspiration from all walks of life that are doing all the things I would like to do someday. My mom inspires me because I watched firsthand all the struggles she went through to raise her children. Obtaining a bachelor's degree in any major requires a lot of effort, but for my mom to raise three children in our most demanding years (ages 5-12), and also graduate with a masters at a top university in Wisconsin was beyond inspiring. After years of severe struggle, she was able to recreate the life she always wanted for herself and children.

Wauwatosa School District Asks Teachers, Staff to Ignore All Emails Until Jan. 4
The district is also giving employees a day to “recombobulate.” We wrote previously about the “bonus bundle” that’s giving each employee in the Wauwatosa School District a $1,000 raise, but we thought another element of the “bundle” was worth it’s own story That being: School District Administrators have asked all employees – teachers, staff – to not respond to any emails until Jan. 4.
