somewhere else, too . . . because it is sure as hell not in that house. Which, by the way, is a dump.ââ
Prentiss smirked. ââWe gathered.ââ
Hotchner asked, ââSoâdo you still think heâs the UnSub?ââ
ââNot out of the question,ââ Rossi said, with an eyebrow shrug. ââWe definitely have more digging to do.ââ
Hotchner gestured toward the nearest laptop. ââIâll get Garcia to contact Arkansas and see what else we can learn on that end.ââ
Garue said, ââWith the weapons and drugs charges? Heâs not going anywhere for a while.ââ
Morgan lifted a forefinger. ââDonât forget he assaulted a federal officer.ââ
Garue nodded. ââHeâs definitely going to be a guest of the county for a while.ââ
Rossi asked, ââAnything go down here at the fort while we were out doing Godâs work?ââ
Hotchner filled them in on the visits by Abner and Lawrence Silvan.
Rossiâs eyebrows were up and he seemed vaguely amused. ââCookies, Aaron? And of course you sent them to the crime lab.ââ
Hotchner said nothing.
Rossi told his old friend, ââGenerous of you. You do know we havenât eaten since breakfast?ââ
With no apparent recognition that he was being kidded, Hotchner said, ââThereâs food in the vending machine in the break room.ââ
Rossi chuckled and shook his head. Garue was looking at Morgan, with an expression that asked, Is your boss for real? But Morgan offered no help.
Hotchner filled them in on the identity of the Davison girl and what they knew about that case, so far.
Rossi, dead serious now, said, ââGeorgiaâs a long way from Minnesota.ââ
ââItâs a long way coming or going,ââ Morgan said. ââWas the Davison girl registered in school anywhere around here?ââ
Hotchner shook his head. ââNot that we know, but itâs early on that score. We havenât had time to put together a digital aging photo.ââ
Such a photo would show what the victim might look like today.
ââAnd,ââ Hotchner continued, ââweâll get a forensics sculptor to do a 3-D representation, but the truth is, thatâs going to take a while.ââ
ââSo,ââ Rossi said, ââwhatâs next?ââ
Before Hotchner could answer, JJ came into the room in a rush.
ââVictim number two has been identified,ââ she said. ââLee Ann Clark, kidnapped from a park near her familyâs residence in Heflin, Alabama.ââ
ââWhen?ââ Hotchner asked.
ââTen years ago,ââ JJ said, ââwithin just two weeks of Heather Davison.ââ
ââNice work. How did you manage it?ââ
ââCredit Garciaâshe just got notified there was another DNA hit.ââ
Hotchner swung his attention toward Reid. ââLetâs get Garcia on the linkup and find out more.ââ
In a few seconds, Reid had made that happen.
ââGarcia,ââ Hotchner said.
ââSir?ââ
ââWhat have you found out about our second victim?ââ
ââShe was three and a half at the time of her abductionâwhich was less than two weeks after the kidnapping of Heather Davison. Lee Ann Clark was playing in a park not even three blocks from her house when the abduction went down.ââ
ââCertainly a child that age hadnât been left alone . . . ?ââ
ââNo, both her parents and a slightly older brother were there. They were distracted for just a moment and when they turned back, Lee Ann was gone.ââ
Hotchner frowned. ââDistracted by
