《17 - Avenge》
"Wait, so, Roadkill asked Matt if he wanted to help him kill Watkins?" Angelo asked as he sat in Chris's office the next day.
Matt was being released from the hospital today, but is on strict bed rest orders.
"According to Matt, Roadkill came to Sinful one night, and pulled Matt aside. He offered him to help him avenge Amelia Patlan and all those young children Watkins humiliated. However, though tempted, Matt was scared. He didn't want to go to that certain extreme, and ran off once Roadkill was urging him."
"Did he see his face?" Angelo asked.
"No. Just described the same blue eyes Clara Gideon described the night Samuel Pepper was killed," Chris sighed.
"But then we already know he visits Sinful. We're on to something now," Angelo said. "All we need is something Bethany Olson might now."
"She's already here, checking into her hotel, and will meet with us tomorrow here," Chris said.
"Good. By the way, ummm... How are you after meeting with Vinny?" Angelo asked.
Chris sighed. "I'm fine, really. He's coping fine, too. Since the anniversary is coming up this weekend, and my mom and I are going to meet with him and his mom like every year, have dinner after visiting the cemetery. You can come if you want, Ang," Chris said.
Angelo smiled. "Nah, I'm okay. BAU has mee on weekend duty for this, and I'm still updating the profile with Mora. Thanks for the offer, though."
Chris nodded. "If you say so."
Angelo nodded and then hesitated to ask him shyly.
"Do you... Sometimes think about... You know, how it would have been if we didn't decide to.... Break up?" Angelo asked.
Chris look up, biting a tiny part of his lip in thought. "Yeah... But what we do is dangerous, especially for me. Being together would mean putting you in the line of danger."
Angelo smiled sadly. "I know... But at least we can still be together as partners," he said.
Chris looked at him, then got up and walked over to his seat, kneeling down to his height, and pressing his lips against his former lover. Angelo, though surprised, kissed back, placing his hands on either side of Chris's face.
Chris then pulled back after a few seconds, smiling at Angelo. "No matter what, I'll always love you," he said. "Even if we aren't a couple anymore."
Angelo smiled. "Me too," he said.
Chris smiled as he got up. "And if it's okay to say, you and Devin seem like a cute couple," he said.
Angelo blushed. "He's okay," he mumbled, shyly smiling a bit. "But he's probably still mad at me about the whole Matt incident."
Chris softly laughed. "Who knows. Give him a chance. You guys are already close," Chris smiled. "Besides, Matt's okay now, and safe."
Angelo smiled back a bit. "I'll think about it," he said.
Chris smiled. "Now... Back to business," he laughed. "What can we learn from his new profile?"
Angelo laughed a bit "Well, everything remained from the last profile, BUT we know he believes in vengeance, mostly his own as well as anyone like him. He holds a history similar to Matt, more or less, one of abuse, loss, and trauma. The sex of his victim means nothing to him, not sure if race or orientation mean anything to him, but as far as we're concerned, he'll kill anyone who falls under his MO- rapists, domestic abusers, child molesters, trafficking, probably thieving liars, too. He has his own vision of justice, and is willing to do anything to make it come true."
"Alright, a regular vigilante who wants to make the world a little bit fair," Chris said.
"Yeah... But only question is.... Why would he be at a place like Sinful asking Matt if he wanted revenge?" Angelo asked.
"Hmmm... That's a good question. Being at a club like Sinful doesn't seem like him," Chris said.
"Unless it's another side of him that is like his place of relaxation, to forget of the murders he's committed," Angelo added.
"Agent Cerulli," Agent Devyn, spoke as he entered. "You have some visitors."
"Let them pass, Kylie," Chris motioned.
She nodded and motioned them, and in enters Andy Biersack, followed by an older man Chris nor Angelo didn't seem to recognize.
"Agent Cerulli," Andy greeted. "Good to see again."
"Mr. Biersack, the feeling is mutual," Chris smiled as they shook hands. "This is my partner from BAU, Agent Angelo Parente."
"Hello. This is my boss and mentor, owner of Sinful, Sixx."
"Good to meet you, Agents," Sixx greeted as we shook hands with him. He was a bit tall, had many tattoos and long spikey hair, dressed a bit elegantly enough for a night club owner. "Out little Bats told me a lot about you two."
"Yeah, we would like to apologize for what happened. It was out of our control and its been dealt with already. I hope he's recovering well," Chris spoke. "Oh, and please, have a seat. Would you like a drink?"
"Thank you, and yes. Kuza and Devin are taking good care of him," Sixx said as he and Andy sat down. "And a water if its not too much trouble."
"Not at all," Chris said, reaching into the nearby fridge and pulling out two water bottles. "So, what can I help you gentlemen with?"
"I was told by my apprentice that Matt confessed to having direct contact with Scranton's favorite serial killer, correct?" Sixx asked.
"Yes, he had asked Matt if he would avenge his sister's suicide by helping to murder Watkins. Matt refused however," Chris explained.
"Doesn't surprise me. Matt's never been much of a fighter, much less one to want revenge. Was very weak and sick when Kuza found him on the streets and bought him to Sinful. One of the many reasons I don't let him out to wait tables or hire him as an escort. Hell, it worries me to even make him bartenter," Sixx said. "He was just a kid when he faced so much death in his life."
"I can tell. But we do know now that Roadkill visits your club. Anyone peculiar ever visit the club, mostly on the weekends?" Chris asked.
Sixx looked at Andy, who shrugged, then looked back at Chris, shrugging his shoulders. "Aside from Creeps, no one unusual. Maybe one of their plus ones, but as far as I'm concerned, nobody weirder than them."
"The Creeps?" Angelo asked.
"Misery and Ash's band of misfits. Just your regular Joker and Harley couple with their goons," Andy spoke.
"You think they could have some sort of connection with Roadkill?" Angelo asked.
"Wouldn't surprise me if they did," Sixx said.
"Any place we could find them?" Chris asked.
"If I'm correct, old abandoned party factory outside of Kingston," Sixx spoke. "Heard of it?"
"Yeah, I know that one," Chris said.
"We're willing to help anyway we can," Sixx said.
"Thank you," Chris spoke, when suddenly the phone rang. "Excuse me one moment."
Sixx motioned him that it was alright as Chris answered, seeing it was Dr. Malarkey. "Cerulli."
"Hey. So, Arbour had some hairline boxer fractures in both sets of metacarpals," Dr. Malarkey spoke.
"Antimortem or perimortem?" Chris asked.
"All three," She said. "She's had healed fractures before, but also some that were very recent to a fight."
"Matthew's friend did say she had assaulted him," Angelo said. "Punched him in the face a few times."
"That's consistent with the fractures sustained," she said. "But its not really why I'm calling."
"What happened?" Chris asked.
"There's been another body found. Its being bought to my lab right now, and it looks like it was Roadkill," Dr. Malarkey said.
The men sat shocked at her words.
Angelo nodded.
"We'll be there, soon," Chris said, hanging up. "Gentlemen, I'll have to let you go, but thank you for the help."
"No problem. I wish you luck, and we'll be in touch," Sixx said as he shook hands with the agents, Andy doing the same, and soon both went their seperate ways.
