"It's difficult for us to dig things out of his mouth for the time being." After several attempts, Hotch said helplessly to Rossi and the person in charge who appeared beside him to watch the situation.

The agent is missing, and it is in DC again. The FBI obviously does not intend to abide by the interrogation principles under normal circumstances. "We can keep him here indefinitely, if you need. And, in fact, he is the safest here."

"I suggest letting him go home," Rossi said suddenly.

"Maybe it will work, maybe he'll reveal more when he feels safe, if he's trying to destroy something, or contact someone." Hotch hesitates, "but someone has to watch him, he might do something stupid. "

"Separate operations." The officer in charge made a quick decision, "Agent Hotchner, keep an eye on Jones. D□□id, you and we go and clear that street."

Rossi seemed to demur for a split second, but Hotch nodded before he could speak, "No problem."

"Jones probably isn't telling the whole truth and doesn't want his history to be exposed. Aaron, stay safe." Of course Rossi could only agree, but he still took a step forward and whispered to Hotch.

"I will."

"Be safe." Rossi repeated.

Hotch nodded. "Jones can't be trusted, I know."

The senior FBI executive next to Rossi watched his disappearing back with great interest, "Newcomer?"

"No, don't even think about it." Rossi shot him a glare.

"Usually, this is called a promotion." The other party smiled, "You can't make decisions on behalf of others."

"He won't agree." Rossi picked up the map and walked out a little annoyed.

"I thought you hated cooperation." The other party immediately followed up, "And don't forget that I only asked you, FBI agents involved in sex scandals, we can't afford such public opinion."

"It sounds like you don't care at all if he makes it back alive."

"I'm concerned about how to catch this killer. As for Detective Green, if he comes back alive, he will undergo a full investigation and psychological evaluation." The other side went around and got into his car, "You know the result."

Rossi shook his head and sighed softly, "Throwing him out won't solve the problem."

"D□□id, you know, we tolerate some people's taint, and that's only because we have to."

"I probably can't convince you that it's not a taint."

"On the contrary." The other party spread out the map to show him the way, "I don't think so, but my opinion is not important. But others, will not allow a... masochist? I guess, appearing in our in the team."

"Guess? I thought you'd figured it out."

"That's why I'm asking you. Not that Detective Jason Gideon will discriminate against this in any way, but I really don't want you to tell this directly to his colleagues investigating the case and the media."

"That's why I haven't posted the profile."

"Thank you. But you called someone else."

"Come on, without Aaron, it would have taken us a lot longer to sheath things out of Jones' mouth, and it would have been rather unpleasant. And he's good at keeping secrets."

"I'm interested in him."

"I told you, don't even think about it." Rossi glared angrily again.

And the other party smiled again, "Who are we looking for now?"

"A skilled abuser is not the violent, brutal, psychotic sadist we're usually looking for. He's looking for a loss of control, and unlike most people think, these victims don't get involved in this type of sexual activity. They don’t really hand over control, they just try to fight the pain and the fear, they say the safe word, it stops, they win.”

"This time he didn't stop."

"The first time may have been an accident." Rossi nodded, "but he suddenly found that doing this would bring him great satisfaction, so he did it again, and again. Middle-aged male, white, married or with a stable girlfriend, but It’s been a long time since he’s made out with his wife or girlfriend, and work has let him down.”

"Isn't that his job?"

"At least on the surface, absolutely not. Although his career will not be too bad, and he may even work in government departments, his colleagues may think he is too cowardly and not very conspicuous." According to the location drawn by Jones, Rossi drove to search any suspicious places.It's a typical city road, convenience store, a few bars, restaurants, car parks, hotels, and even a small church.It was still daytime, and on the surface, any of them seemed normal.

"Jones is playing us." The person beside him looked at the map in his hand and the scenery outside the window, "This location is a parking lot."

"He's hiding something, but he's not lying." Rossi shook his head. "What we're looking for should be behind one of these signs."

"The bar seems too ostentatious, and it doesn't fit the secrecy measures of this kind of group." The man thought for a while, but hesitated, "But it seems to be more difficult for people to find out under such a cover."

"No. Given who our victims are, I don't think they'd be comfortable walking into a bar like this." Rossi shook his head, and finally his eyes fell on the church.

"Are you serious?"

"Self-torture has been believed by clergymen for centuries to drive away evil, and some even suggest it to be an early model of a combination of masochistic behavior and repressed desire gratification," Rossi said earnestly. "Without further clues, we Start here."
