Thanks for the heads up. I'll switch it from pink if it's easier to read in a light blue or something brighter @Lord Wraith
Your pink is actually already easy to read so no switch necessary.

Why are you here when you should be writing posts?
You can edit a bad draft, but you cannot edit a blank page.

A sad smile crossed Joseph's lips as Chris was lightly berated by their two colleges in regards to the question of motive. It was rare for the veteran agents to disagree, especially so adamantly, but Joseph was not on the same page as either Lucian or Agent Stannis in this situation. There was a value to determining motive, it could be the difference between continuing to be reactive to the unsub or finally being proactive enough to get ahead of them.
"I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss motive," Joseph warned, winking towards Chris in a manner that communicated he had her back. "I realize, more so than most," Joseph added knowing that his past was well known with both of the agents he had worked with prior to Chris' arrival. "Asking 'why' can haunt a person, but if we can get inside the Unsub's head, see the world as they see it, that could be our ticket to ensuring we don't end up with another body."
"Dr. Auiglar is a trained psychologist, if you have an ace up your sleeve, you use it." If Lucian was 'Team Dad', then Joseph was the 'Cool Grandpa'. If anyone on the team was going to entertain a new idea or technique, it was likely going to be Joseph. While he might have been perfectly content to be rigid and ruled in his personal life, he knew the people they chased often weren't. Any additional insight was always a welcome asset.
Speaking of assets, Joseph was surprised at how lax Lucian was towards their missing agents. While he understood that Ray primarily, and for the benefit of all, worked remotely. There was little excuse for Darin having missed the call. If only all the new agents could follow Chris' example a bit closer.

Why didn't you tell us sooner? What colors are comfortable to your eyes and I'll change all my posts to colors that are friendly for you. Lol
Oh, I don't generally mention it because like I said, I can just highlight text. Lighter shades are generally all-around better, but more saturated and darker reds or greens are pretty hard to read for me. So I could read something in say salmon a lot easier than I can firebrick, or even orchid is a lot better than say purple.
(why did we all choose shades of red)
I honestly have to highlight red to see it (colourblind lol), so that has been fun.
Going to try and get a post up this weekend. Been getting killed at work this week with so many projects going into fabrication and constantly pumping out drawing sets.
Last thing I've been wanting to do when I get home is sit at a computer lol.

I don't know what that means, but I think it is positive.
Lol It's Gaelic that more or less translates to 'Cheers! Ireland forever!'.
Sláinte! Erin go Bragh!
A day later than intended, but hopefully, that helps spur some activity.

There was something comforting about catching up with the team, even if the situation that brought them together was less than ideal. Joseph would have happily continued to chat with Agent Stannis, but there were unfortunately more pressing matters to attend to. The mention of a travel bag prompted to Joseph to reach under his desk, producing a simple black duffle bag. The strap had several baggage check labels on it, spanning years and locations all across the U.S., to some, it might be misconstrued as bragging or even trophies of all Joseph's travels. In reality, they were a warning to never forget that there's always another monster lurking in the shadows.
Speaking of monsters, Joseph found himself opening the case file while settling into his seat aboard the team's jet. The lacerations around the wrists of the victims were deep, consistent in both cases. The second victim however was sporting them on their wrists as well, did she fight back more? Was that why the escalation in restraints? He would need to examine the bodies himself upon landing. Talk with the local Medical Examiner and find out what they had discovered in terms of physical evidence. Both women had been assaulted, but did he wear a condom? Perhaps the assailant was impotent or a woman, and the assault was carried out by another instrument.
If Joseph were to construct a profile based on the file splayed across his lap, he'd wager they were looking for a white male in his twenties to thirties. Both women were nearly identical in physical description, and the Unsub had additionally added the mole above the lip.
The beauty mark.
Physically, both women had a Marilyn Monroe look to them, the beauty mark put it over the edge. That wasn't where the similarities ended either. Joseph noted both women had been recently widowed, assumably by men serving in the military. He would have to confirm that once they landed of course. The similarities clearly pointed to the Unsub looking for surrogates. That meant he had to be stalking them, at least enough to know both had recently lost husbands and presumably husbands who worked in similar occupations.
Milatary, Law Enforcement, even the Fire Department could be considered similar enough depending on the level of delusion this Unsub has.
The plane was starting to descend now, prompting Joseph to clear his throat looking around to see which members of the team were awake.
"I've been looking over the case file for most of the flight," He began, straightening up in his seat. "I'm thinking we're looking at a targeted spree-killer motivated by revenge. The bodies aren't going to stop, I would worry less about a signature, that's not what this is in my opinion. Instead, I'm led to believe these women are surrogates for his real target, someone who hurt him, someone who made him feel abandoned and neglected. Both women lost their husbands, and the scenes were staged to look like a suicide. If we could narrow down the suspect pool more, I'd imagine we'd find a boy who was abandoned by a maternal figure who took her own life following the death of her partner." Clearing his throat, Joseph continued.
"The level of assault is personal, suggests a male victim, I'd hazard a guess at some in their mid-twenties to thirties." Joseph paused to rub his eyes, taking the last sip of the cold latte beside him.
"I'd like to arrange a visit to the ME's office to take a look at the bodies while the team meets with local law enforcement if that's at all possible, Lucian."
