AS SOON AS THE JET PARKED ON THE AIR STRIP, THE TEAM PLUS APRIL TOOK THE SUVs TO THE SECOND AND THIRD CRIME SCENE.

"Before Clurman passed out, all he told cops at the time was that he saw the package sitting on the stoop outside his kitchen door." Hotch informed them as they observed the scene,

"Why didn't he take it in?" Agent Greenaway asked,

"Why didn't it go off until he got to his car? It's like 50 feet away." Dr. Reid questioned,

"Joe Reese, one of Clurman's investors, was here before the bomb went off. The cops have ruled him out as a s suspect, but he said he saw Clurman get in the car with the package." Hotchner stated,

April placed her hands on her hips and stared at the burned car, "So maybe Clurman wasn't receiving a bomb at all. Maybe he was on his way to delivering one."

"But he drops it or tilts it, and it goes off by accident." Dr. Reid finished,

Gideon looked around, "I'd like to talk to Clurman. In the meantime, let's get a warrant to search his house."

April walked over to SSA Hotchner, "If his investors were pressuring him about returning the money, that's enough motive to go after them."

"We need to search his house first." He told her, "But we shouldn't rule him out just yet."

Soon the warrant arrived signed by a judge and they began searching the house. April informed ATF to make sure to search the attic just as a detective walked up to them, "Agent Hotchner and Agent Berry?"

"Yes, sir." The man held his hand out for the two of them to shake,

"Detective Morrison, Palm Beach P. D. I'm lead on the case." The older man introduced,

"Nice to meet you." April smiled,

"This is Agent Greenaway." Hotchner informed the detective, "Agents Reid and Gideon are at the hospital. I think you met agent Jareau at the station house."

"Oh, yeah, she's taken over the place." Morrison replied,

"She does that." Greenaway stated,

"ATF hasn't found any hard evidence yet, just some kitchen timers, tape recorders, and electrical switches." April informed the detective as they walked inside the house,

"Yeah. It is amazing how many household items count as potential bomb-making materials." Detective Morrison replied,

"Hello? Excuse me!" A middle-aged red headed woman walked into the house and April knew she had to be the wife,

"Mrs. Clurman." Detective Morrison whispered to the agents,

"What's going on here?"

"Mrs. Clurman my name is Special Agent Aaron Hotchner with the FBI." Hotch showed her his badge,

"What are you doing in my house?"

"There's a copy of the warrant on the table." He informed her, "I know that this is hard to believe, but we just need to cover all of our bases. We need to make sure that your husband was not involved in any way."

"Involved? My husband's in the hospital with his leg blown off. What are you talking about?!" She was hysterical and April could understand why. She wouldn't be happy if her significant other was in an accident such as being blown up and then the police began raiding the house,

April stepped forward, "Mrs. Clurman, there are some questions that your husband needs to answer, and the sooner that we talk to him and clear him, then the sooner we can find whoever's responsible."

"Agent Hotchner? Agent Berry?" The two turned to the leader of the ATF search squad, "We've got something."

They turned back to Mrs. Clurman who looked confused. Either she was good at faking, or she genuinely didn't know what they were talking about.

They followed the man into the garage where he opened up a tool box, "We found this buried on the back of that shelf."

It was filled with wires and an instruction manual. The agents looked up at the household owner, "Mrs. Clurman... Do you know anything about this?" Agent Hotchner asked,

She looked at them, speechless.

She wasn't able to answer any of their questions. She claimed she had never seen that before and didn't know how it got there. While Agent Greenaway went to question her in private, Hotch got a call from Gideon.

"Yeah?" Hotch answered, putting it on speaker for April to hear,

"This isn't our guy. His answers were coherent even while he was sedated. He's got a sense of humor, displays empathy..." Gideon told them over the phone, "This is nothing like a typical bomber profile."

"What about the materials we found?" April asked the older agent,

"Well, we'll see if the fragments match at the bomb scene, but I doubt they will." Gideon answered,

"Ok." Hotch hung up as Agent Greenaway walked over with a picture frame in her hand,

"Look at this." She showed the two, "This is their nephew in Texas. And according to Mrs. Clurman, he was staying with them for a month and left last week."

"Mercury switches are a little sophisticated for a 12-year-old kid." Hotch stated,

"I'm not saying he's the unsub, but boys his age like to blow stuff up." Elle replied,

"I'll call Morrison. He'll contact local P. D. in Texas and pick up the kid and talk to him." Hotch told the two and Elle walked away,

April smiled at the unit chief, "Boys will be boys." Her phone rang and she checked the caller ID,

"Man upstairs?" Hotch smirked at her,

"Always watching." She responded before leaving to answer the call.
