“Do we have an address for her?” Morgan asked.

“Sorry my love, she passed away a little over a year
ago.  She was living with her wife at the
time.

“I’m sorry, did you say wife?” Jane was dumbfounded.

“Yes I did!
Apparently, his mother left when he was eleven years old.  There had been reports of domestic violence
but nothing appears to have ever been followed up on.”

“He never said anything” Jane said quietly.

“What?”  Reid watched
her as she answered.

“Max…uhm Detective Rodriguez, he never mentioned her at
all.” Lost in thought, Jane finally figured out what was missing from the
equation, her.

“Son of a *****, I dated him last year.”

“What? Detective you never mentioned…” Hotch was angry that
such an important detail had been left out.

“I didn’t think about it,” she said defensively.  “We had one date.  He had been hounding me for one and I finally
gave in.  All it took was one date to
realize what an ***** he was.”

“When,” said Reid, “when was your date.”

Giving him the approximate date, “Garcia?”

“Reading your mind my boy wonder, Rodriguez’ mother died two
weeks before that date.”

Hanging her head, she couldn’t believe she had missed it,
“That’s when he started harassing for a date.”

“Okay” Emily asked aloud, “let’s assume that Rodriguez can
be our unsub, it’s been a year, why now?”

Maura looked at Jane who nodded, “Maura and I came out two
weeks ago, when Korsak caught us kissing.”

“Where,” Reid asked, knowing the answer.

“Outside the Dirty Robber” Maura said.

Chapter 7

“So are we thinking its Rodriguez?” Jane asked
incredulously, she was still having trouble wrapping her head around this.  “I mean he’s a decorated officer, why me, why
now?”

“Very often someone will lead a normal life with just a few
minor transgressions here and there, when a traumatic event triggers something
in them that even they may have been unaware of.  He may have been more affected by his
mother’s departure as a child than even he knew.”

“But would he have known about the other woman at eleven
years old?”  Jane was still feeling a bit
bewildered by the new information.

“I don’t know” Rossi looked from Jane to the team “there
were reports of domestic violence, Garcia, can we get any information on
those?”

“Your wish is my command,” fingers flying across the
keyboard, “Hey!” Frost looked up at her smiling, “you just kicked me off our
server Garcia”
