Hotch stiffled a smile, then his eyes widen in realisation. "You mean use Reid as bait?" He glanced at Reid, and immediatly felt protective over him "I cant let you do that Reid" he exclaimed softely, then glanced back at Harley "Im sorry, no, we cant use Reid, end of discussion."

"But, Hotch, I could do it, dont worry! I did it in the case a couple of months ago, when Elle was taken hostage on that train! I'll be fine, I'll have you guys as back up..." he trailed off and glanced down at his hands. He felt slightly embarrassed at his outburst, but also, slightly empowered "Hotch, listen, what would you rather, use me, and we catch him, or wait and have more deaths on our hands, because theres an 92% chance that he will re-affend, with a 87% chance of an esculation. We can save more lives this way, um, sir" he stopped, meekly, and lowered his gaze down to his hands, which were fiddling nervously with the strap of his bag.

Harley simply laid on the ground to embarrassed to move. She managed to shrug. "Just a suggestion." She mumbled not moving. "If I was a guy, I'd do it but unless you feel like hiring a make-up artist, not gonna happen." She sighed, she wished she was a guy at the moment, then she wouldn't care what Reid and Hotch thought.

Hotch stared down at the two agents, with the idea being examined in fine detail in his head. He took a deep calming breath and then offered a hand to help Harley up. "Reid, Im not saying that you wouldn't do a great job, but its dangerous, and I dont like the idea of risking one of my agents. There has got to be another way around this. If we can get a solid profile together, then we will have the upper hand, no need for bait, OK?"

Reid sighed and forced himself to look straight at Hotch. "But, if I was Morgan, or Gideon, or even Elle, you'd let me go. Why is it so hard for everyone to believe in me? You believe enough in me for facts, figures, and help with profiles, but not to be bait? I've done it before, and I can do it again. You could prep me on safety techniques, tell me how to be 'good bait', Harley could prep me on the Unsubs behaviour patterns, tell me what signs to look for, and Id always have you guys as back-up, so I wouldn't really be in any danger. He doesn't use weapons, he uses his hands, he leaves them to die, and I think I can handle a little beating, I was the only 12 year old in my graduate class." He paused, and bit his lip slightly and then took a deep breath and continued. "I could do it, and with a solid profile, and you guys, I would be pretty safe. If Harley can believe enough in me to suggest this, then why cant you Hotch?" He hoped that last blow wouldn't cause Hotch to hate him, but he had to try, another potenial victims life depended on it.

Harley still laid there, she hadn't meant to cause a fude between the two. She glanced up seeing Hotch's hand and extended hers to let herself be pulled up. As she stood up she brushed off her jeans. She sighed. "It was a suggestion, even if we did do a 'bait' set-up we, would need more information before we did it. And, I suggested Reid because I'm not a guy. If I was, I would do it. And it makes sense for Reid because he'll be able to get into the guys head. Not that you wouldn't Hotch, but if we did this, I'd need you to be with me." She sat back down. "And I wouldn't have suggested Reid but, if we did this kind of set-up I figured you would want one of us in there because well...we know how to handle these guys." She sighed. "Hotch is right we do need a more solid profile. The only that we need to know is if it's premeditated, which is unlikely at first, but as he gains a likeness for the killing, he would gain a like for the 'hunt' if you will. If this is the case, I don't think we would need a set-up. We would just need a reason for the arrest warrant unless we can find a judge to who will sign one on we think this guy is a serial killer. Or what worries me which is if it's random. He goes to the work place, sees someone who fits the description waits until they are alone and BAM. If that was the case, we might need the set up to get him as fast as we can."

Hotch sighed and nodded. He knew all the reasons Harley had said were good reasons and he knew that he wouldn't be able to 'deny' Reid the chance to take down a big serial killer. He bashed all the ideas around in his head quickly, aware of the akward silence he was creating. He sat down and quickly stated talking. "FIne, heres what we do. He may have started out as premeditated murder, maybe someone he worked with, but as he got a taste for it, he ran out of grudges, and is still slightly premeditated, but will go for what he wants, and is becoming more random. If thats the case, and a further, more solid profile, will tell us. But if he is becoming more random, maybe we should, get Reid out there, because, no offence Reid, but if I was a serial killer, I would go for someone where it looks like an easy kil, ie, easy to dominate. So, if your up for this, and you think you can do it, then once we have more information, and it is deemed fit, we will prep you and send you out there." Hotch sat back in his seat, sighed, and rubbed his forehead. This was going to be a long case.

Reid nodded, with a slight smile and shot a look over at his fellow agents. "Fine, and what you meant to say was the killer would go for easy pray, someone who looked weak and weedy. I fit that profile!" He smiled ever so slightly, glad that his slight body would come in handy. "I guess we better get to the crime scences and get a solid profile then."

Harley stayed quiet having the same thought as Hotch but hoping desperately they would wrap it up soon. She feared the man had no idea what he was doing. But something was still bugging her... "Why did the little girl not call 911?"

"Im not sure, apparently according to the report, she stayed hidden for half an hour after the UnSub left, she had hid in a closet under the counter, and then ran out to her father. After approximately another hour, hour and a half she ran to a shop across the road and told tham what had happaned. When the investigator mentioned reporting or calling 911, she froze up and refused to talk until she had a lawyer, so Im thinking that maybe something illegal was taking place at the time, or at the shop, which is why she didnt call the police."

"A 12/13 year old wanting a lawyer?" Harley shook her head. "To many crime dramas nowadays."

Hotch smiled at the last statement and glanced back at his notes. "Well, I think tahts all the information I have, so I guess we better get on our way to New York for the crime scenes, did I mention they were in New York?"

"No, you didn't." Harley said popping her neck. "But we are already on the way." She said with a smile and a hand motion to the window. Out side of it the sky flew past them with swirling clouds that seemed to be getting darker by the moment.

Hotch smiled and sighed. "Ok, Ok smart alex!" He laughed and settled back into his chair. He let out a long, deep sigh and decided to get a little sleep, although he didn't think he'd get much.
