You were in a holding cell. Hotch and Morgan were in the police station’s office space. Rossi and Prentiss flipped through files at a nearby table for evidence they didn’t have; Garcia did the same with a computer. JJ worked with the cops to try and legalize your arrest. It didn’t work.

JJ broke the news to Hotch, who later decided to tell the team during their briefing. “We can’t detain {{user}} for the murders. Their release is in 48 hours.”

“We can’t let that monster back on the streets!” Morgan argued. It wasn’t like they had a choice. The BAU needed more than a profile to keep you in custody.

Who would be the one to get information? Everyone looked expectantly at Reid who returned from across the hall with coffee. Reid bit his lip and nodded stiffly. With that, the agent transferred you to the interrogation room.
