Chapter Twenty-Five

Emily's Pov:

We are at the police station, and so far, 5 couples have been killed. Making it a total of 10 people killed in the span of 2 days.

The unsub is killing rapidly.

We concluded that it's a male late 30s who was probably in a relationship but went downhill.

He probably sees the people he's killed as surrogates for his last relationship.

So far, all couples have been straight.

The unsub at first only killed two couples but escalted the next day by killing three, and that's why we were called.

So far, the unsub hasn't been killing since we arrived, so we haven't gotten a good profile.

"Two bodies have just been found in a car in front of a house." Detective Sánchez said.

"Derek and Emily, go check it out." Hotch said, pointing at me and Derek and towards the detective.

We arrived at the crime scene, and the bodies were still in the car.

"They're two females." Derek said.

"Females? That changes the profile." I said in shock.

"Are you sure this is the same killer?" Derek asked detective Sánchez.

"Yes, all other bodies have been found exactly like this. Not in front of a house, though." She said.

"We have to change the profile." Derek said.

We arrived back at the police station.

"We've got the profile all wrong." I told Hotch and everyone else in the room.

"What do you mean?" Spencer said.

"The latest couple were two females."  I said.

"Females? The unsub has only been killing male and female relationships." Elle said.

"I know, we asked Garcia to loom into their relationship, and it turns out they are a couple. The MO also matches." I said, going towards the board to put the crime scene photos onto the clear board.

"If you see here, both women's hands were tied, and the masculine woman's hands are tied onto the steering wheel just like the men in the other crime scenes. The other woman, in the other hand. Her hands are tied behind her back just like the woman in the other crime scene. And to top it all off, they also have 8 stab wounds and a gunshot through the head." I said.

"Why is the unsub choosing to change  his MO?" Jennifer asked.

"His partner probably cheated on him with a woman." Gideon added.

"So is the unsub gay or straight?" Elle asked.

"That's what we need to find out." Hotch said.

We spent hours trying to find out whether or not the unsub is straight or not.

"I got it." Spencer said.

"The unsub is a gay male." Spencer added.

"How do you know?" Morgan asked.

"He started off killing male and female relationships but moved on to killing female to female relationships."

"We know that kid, but that doesn't explain he's gay." Morgan said.

"He moved his rage towards woman. It only makes sense that the male he was dating cheated on him for women." Spencer said.

It made some sense.

It's 11 pm, so I can barely understand what 5×5 is.

"It's getting late. We'll prove your theory tomorrow morning. For now, get some rest." Hotch said.

Finally, I'm getting some sleep.

*next day*

The unsub now killed 2 more female gay couples.

The body count was going up rapidly, so we needed to get the profile out there.

"The unsub is a gay male in his 30s. He first started off killing female and male relationships and escalted to lesbian relationships." Hotch started off with.

"We believe that he was in a relationship with a male who then cheated on him with a woman. That's why he first started killing female and male relationships to show his hatred he has towards the relationship his ex cheated on him with" Derek added on.

"He escalted to killing lesbian relationships to show his anger towards women." I added on.

"Why kill lesbians tho and not just females?" A officer asked.

"We believe he's killing lesbians out of jealousy." I said before I was briefly interrupted again by the same officer.

"Jealousy?" The officer said.

"He's jealous that his ex preferred a woman over a man, and since lesbians only like females, he likes to think that they are just like his ex." Jennifer responded.

"That's all we have for now. We will keep you guys posted." Hotch said, making all the officers scatter around the room.

It's been hours since we gave the profile. There hasn't been a killing since.

"We are getting nowhere. It's been 3 days since we arrived." Elle said.

"We have to wait it out." Hotch said.

"Why can't someone just go undercover?" Elle said.

Hotch was thinking about it.

"Elle and Jj? Would you like to go undercover?" Hotch asked.

Elle looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Do you know me?" Elle asked.

"You're right. You'll just get distracted. Emily?" Hotch said.

I was hesitant, but Hotch gave me pleading eyes.

"Fine." I said.

"Great. We'll get you guys situated." Hotch said, getting up his chair to leave.

I left the room to go to the restroom to think about what I had just signed up for.

I got to the restroom and went over to the sink.

I'm going undercover with Jennifer. The girl I've liked since I first started working for the FBI.

Was what was going through my mind until I went into depth about what we may have to do while undercover.

OH GOD! I'm going to have to kiss her. Hold her hand. Act like her girlfriend.

My thoughts kept going deeper and deeper.

What if she likes kissing me? What if she actually likes me after this? What if this makes our friendship weird? What if-

My thoughts were interrupted by the door swinging open.

It was Jennifer.

"Thinking about having to go undercover?" Jennifer asked.

"Yeah." I said truthfully.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, you will have a day or more of not having to wake up early." She said.

"Yeah, you're right." I said, shrugging.

"Hotch needs us in the conference room." She said, breaking the silence.

I followed her out of the restroom and into the conference room.

"We need to discuss your story on how you met. How long have you been together, etc." He said.

This is going to be a long couple of days.

A/N: This chapter definitely doesn't make sense. I ligit made myself get tongue twisters trying to make the profile.

Anyways, if I post a lot one day, it's probably because I'm really boerd.
