open to all of the BAU!
Three months into the BAU, and Micah was fitting in like he'd been there all along. Mick had grown quite fond of him, though that might have had something to do with Wyatt's liking of the man. Mick found it terribly cute. Wyatt and Micah had weekly dinners together, and lately they'd been going to see foreign films together. It seemed to happen every Thursday night, so every Friday morning Mick was sure to show up early to get some tidbits from Wyatt himself. She knew that the younger team member really liked Micah, enough to ask random questions about dating and relationships. Of course Wyatt thought that he was being inconspicious about it, but Mick knew better.

At the moment, she was sitting at her desk and Wyatt was in Jude's little office down the hall. Probably asking dating questions or... something like that, which Mick thought was ridiculously adorable. When she saw Beckett walk by with some files in his hands looking a little stressed, she thought nothing of it. That happened quiet often, given his job.

Inside Jude's office, Jude was busy trying to make sense of a Sudoku puzzle while he talked with Wyatt, and when Wyatt lifted a finger to his puzzle and opened his mouth Jude held up his pencil in warning.

"If you tell me the answers I will stab you with this pencil," he said warningly.

Liam nodded thoughtfully at Emma's comment. "Creative talents, yes you're right. How strange." He fell silent for a moment, mulling that over.

Wyatt looked through the pictures. "Similar ages and appearances. Either they represent the unsub himself or they're acting as a surrogate for someone in his life, maybe someone who rejected him or someone he lost. It's exceedingly rare for a kidnapper to keep the victim for so long. I'm surprised we haven't run across the body of at least the first victim. Maybe run his information against the John Does in the area?"

Jude nodded at Wyatt's suggestion and jotted a few more things down.

"There's a gap, 2007 he didn't take anyone? We either missed that case, or for some reason he just didn't find someone he wanted," Micah frowned intensely. Wyatt was right, has the first victim been held against his will for five years? Or had he been killed?

"No bodies as far as we know," Mick said as she glanced up. "That makes me think we're looking for a gay male. Kidnappers who kidnap adults usually do it for sexual preference, and the victims are all gay males. If this was about hatred towards their sexuality, we'd have bodies. He took things, packed for them, this isn't about hatred. He wants them. They all very well might be alive somewhere."

The notion that these men were still alive brought a spark of hope to Liam. It would be nice to rescue someone for a change rather than just finding more bodies.

"Wants them for what? I suppose there's always the sexual motive, the fantasy that these men are really his. He obviously wants them to continue with their talents wherever he takes them."

"Probably sexual, yes. He wants them to be his," Mick said with a frown. "Based upon their age similarity and physical similarity, these are obviously the types that he's attracted to. Slender, sort of pretty, I wonder if they share any personality traits, too?" she suggested.

"The 26th of November, that's a few days from now. He probably has his eye on someone based on the pattern. There was no sign of struggle in any home that the victims were taken from, he has to be subduing them somehow," Emma added.

"The earliest victim was taken in Virginia. If he really is the first, then the unsub is probably based here, but he's smart enough to spread out the kidnappings so as not to create an easily seen pattern." Liam was relieved that they'd be working the case mostly from their offices here, it was nice to go home to Reagan an night. He couldn't help but think of him when he saw the victims. Young, talented, gay men. But if he went down that path he wouldn't be able to concentrate because he'd be thinking about Reagan in danger, and of course he wasn't.

"Are we going to be doing any interviews with the missing's family and friends? Boyfriends?" Micah asked. The states were all surrounding Virginia, so he was inclined to agree with Liam's suggestion that the unsub was from the state. "The investigation for the first case seems... Unfinished, they hardly did anything." He couldn't help but frown at the sloppy and lazy investigation work.

Beckett agreed with Micah about the shoddy police work, though he could understand. It seemed that the victim may have disappeared on his own accord given his history. "With nothing else to go on, I might think it was a runaway too. But there's definitely a lot that was left undone."

"That's where we come in," Liam said. "We should start by collecting information from the families. Jude, you search for any other cases we might be missing."

Jude nodded his head and got to his feet so that he could squeeze past Beckett and go and get to work. Even though he was focused on the task at hand, he couldn't help but notice just how good the other man smelled and he smiled shyly before he slipped out of the room.

"Should we issue any sort of a statement?" Mick asked in concern. "Let people know to be careful since the 26th is coming up pretty fast?"

He was a difficult one to distract, but Beckett always did notice Jude and he glanced after him before being pulled back toward Mick. This was his area of expertise. "It might scare him off, send him somewhere we can't find him, but it would probably be worth it to send a few notices around the surrounding states. Let people know there's a connection. It might even bring other evidence to light, if people saw something and didn't report it, not thinking it was impotant."

Liam nodded in agreement. "He's well organized. I don't think this will throw him off his game, not after how much experience he's had at this point."

Micah sifted through each file, and he couldn't help but hope that maybe they would find the young men alive, even when he knew that might not happen. They had to try.

"What would you like us to do?" he asked as he looked up at Liam. "Should we go in person to interview families and friends?" In Micah's opinion, given their profession, in person was always better and he was certain that Liam was on the same page.

Micah had been an excellent addition to the team and Liam had clearly accepted him quickly. "Yes, in person is best and we'll go to them. It might give us a chance to better understand the scenes of the crime as well. Agent Bishop, why don't you take someone with you and talk to the young man who didn't get taken. We should rule out or confim a connection right away. He could have some valuable information to point us in the right direction." Liam had purposefully not named an agent, wanting to see who Micah selected.

Micah nodded his head and sifted through to the file of the case that Liam was indicating. He noticed the date of November 26th, 2005, a month before Elijah Hunter had been taken.

"This incident happened a month before Elijah Hunter was taken, same state. Maybe this kid was the unsubs intended victim, but when that fell through he found another."

"Explains the deviation from the pattern," Mick agreed.

"Wyatt? You wanna go with me?" Micah asked as he glanced over at the younger man.

As soon as Liam had indicated Micah would have to choose, Wyatt tensed up a little. He wanted to go with him, but he was afraid that perhaps it would be a tip off that something was going on. But nothing was going on, he reassured himself. He looked up from the files. "Sure thing," he said quietly and Beckett certainly picked up on the wavering voice. Hmpf.

"Good. Beckett, you work on the press statement. Mick and Emma, start with the most recent case. And I'll talk to the first case. It seems there's a boyfriend that's been contacting the PD for awhile. He'll certainly be eager to help."

"You got it," Mick said as she got up along with Emma. "I'm sure your wife will enjoy having you stay in state," she added with a smile at Liam. Everyone assumed that Liam was straight and married to a woman because he was so traditional, and he had never once corrected them on it. Reagan's name was easy to assign a child of either gender, so they naturally assumed that he was a woman.

"We'll keep you posted," Emma said as she gathered her things up.

Micah got up as well, and he nodded at both Liam and Beckett bedew he slipped out of the room with Wyatt.

Liam's expression didn't change at that and he nodded with a placid smile. "I'm sure Reagan will be pleased with it. It's a nice change." He didn't like lying, so he never assigned pronouns or said much on it at all. He was a private person, keeping work and homelife separate. Plus, if higher ups didn't find out about his sexuality--well that was just fine with him.

Both Beckett and Wyatt went on to accomplish their individual tasks.
