Top Notch Agent ; A Criminal Minds Fanfic

P911

Y/n's POV

"40,000 images of child porn are posted every week on the internet, along with the appearance of 20 new children. The appetite for babies as young as 4 months old has soared. Many of these children have been kidnapped and sold into pedophile rings," Spencer rattled off. 

"One year ago, the same boy appeared on several web sites used by pedophiles. He was a new face then. After a massive hunt led by our crimes against children unit, the boy disappeared," Gideon started. 

"Until tonight when S.S.A. Cole telephoned us," Hotch continued. 

"Katie Cole? She was in the B.A.U., right?" Spencer asked. 

"One of the first profilers, clinical psychologist, brilliant," Gideon listed off. 

"She runs the Crimes Against Children Unit in Maryland," Hotch added. 

"I always wanted to meet her," Derek confessed. 

"Really? I heard she's a bitch," Katie said and entered the room. 

"Nobody ever called you that, Katie," Gideon muttered. 

"Well, not to my face," Katie countered. "The first time I ever saw him, he appeared in a series of photos. I named him Peter. Now he's being auctioned off when that clock runs to zero." 

"His face isn't pixilated on the cameras," I point out. 

"Because the unsub is confident that we're not going to be able to identify him in time," Hotch shared. 

"What about the site itself? Can't we just track its origin?" JJ proposed. 

"It's routed through a proxy server in Belarus," Katie replied. "Even if that government was friendly, Peter would be gone before we finished the paperwork." 

"We don't need to worry about the paperwork. We have Garcia. I'm gonna go talk to her," JJ spoke and exited the conference room. 

"So what happened a year ago, Katie?" Hotch questioned. 

"We cross-referenced the images of the boy. We talked to known offenders nationwide. We narrowed the location down to the eastern United States. We had some suspects in, but the trail went cold. Until today," Katie answered. 

"With all due respect, Ms. Cole, how is this time going to be any different?" Derek quizzed. 

"We have a starting point," Katie claimed. "The location where the image was first discovered was a chat room hosted by an independent web company in Cleveland, Ohio. And this time, I am bringing you all in with me." A little bit after we all dispersed, I walked into the bullpen to see if Spencer was ready to go.

"Hey, Spence. Nice haircut. And the glasses make you look cute," I comment.

"Oh. Thanks," Spencer said, a slight blush tinting his cheeks.

"So I heard Elle is back. She coming with us?" I ask.

"Yeah. She said she'd meet us by the car," Spencer mentioned. Down at the car, I met up with Elle, who was sporting a new, shorter haircut, but she looked happy to be back. I hadn't seen her in 4 months because I had been super busy, but I was glad to see her now.

"Y/n! It's so good to see you!" Elle chirped and gave me a hug. 

"You too, Elle," I return.

"So where's the ring? I've only seem pictures," Elle exclaimed. I extended my left hand to Elle, and she took ahold of it, examining the engagement ring on my finger. "It's so pretty! And I'm so excited for you."
