*Ring!...*Ring!!...*Ring!!!
"All right, all right I'm up....hello?" Serena said groggily into the phone's receiver.
"Special agent Johnson, we need you at the bureau right away." Said Monroe, the assistant director of the Cyber Division.
"I'm on my way ma'am"

After dressing in a record of 45 seconds, Serena ran out the door and quickly drove to the bureau. Serena could tell something was up. After working 6 years for the FBI, Serena had known if "The Boss" calls you personally and tells you to get your butt to the bureau, there was something going down. Whether it be inspection, a hostage situation, or...homicide. And after working for those 6 years, she was never allowed to, as Monroe said "Lead the pack into the bears cave." Never once had she lead a team in an assignment, but what would complaining get her. Pulling into the parking structure, Serena got out of her car and ran as fast as she could in heels to the elevator which would take her to the seventh floor.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in Johnson" said Jana Monroe
"Yes, ma'am you wanted to see me?" Serena said noticing there was an unfamiliar person in the office.
"Right. Johnson, let me introduce to you Mr. Darien Bennett. Mr. Bennett, this is special agent Serena Johnson." Mrs. Monroe said allowing them to shake hands before continuing "i have an assignment for you Johnson. You and Mr. Bennett are going to produce for me a team of 4 agents including yourself, from the criminal investigative division by noon, at which I will inform you two along with the rest of the team of the assignment."
"Yes ma'am" Serena said.
"All right...now go find your team."
As Serena and Darien excited the office they were both busy wondering what they needed a team for.
By noon, Serena and Darien were sitting in the briefing room along with the team they conjured up, waiting for Monroe to arrive. Making small talk with each other about why they supposed they were there, they were suddenly hushed by Monroe slamming a rather large file on the desk.
"Is this the team?" Monroe asked.
"Yes ma'am" Serena said.
"Good. I want all of you to introduce yourselves starting with you Johnson."
"I'm Special Agent Serena Johnson, also forensic pathologist, head of the forensic division. I work either in the lab or on special cases." Serena sat back down and Darien stood up.
"I'm Darien Bennett. I'm not part of the FBI, but I'm a psychic. I often have visions of brutal crimes which is why I suppose I'm here."
"I'm Special Agent Raye Sanders. I work in finger printing. I'm also a crime scene photographer."
"I'm Colonel Ken Harding. I am a weapons genius. I know everything there is to know about any weapon."
"I'm Special Agent Lita Morgan. I work in the criminal investigative division. I'm usually called in when we have a killer on our hands."
"I'm Andrew Thomas. I guess I'm the computer genius of this team. I'm a hacker for the CIA"
Monroe stood quiet as if deciding whether they matched her expectations. Finally she spoke, "All right. I have an assignment for you." Turning on the overhead projector and shutting off the light, she began once again. "There was a murder back in 1975 that completely by passed the bureau. It seems someone misplaced the file and the case was never solved." Going through photos, she stopped at one highly graphic photo of a young girl. "Several weeks ago, there was a body found on Cambridge Avenue near the mouth of the river. While looking for the Cambridge file, Agent Stanton found the missing file of the unsolved murder of 1975. After bringing it to my attention, I decided to go over both files. I then noticed how similar they were according to the police records. Both victims were bound to prevent escape and hit in the head 3 times with a blunt object. There were also marks on the neck leading to the assumption of strangulation along with no evidence of sexual assault. I consulted the Director of the FBI and it may be that what we have here are the very first stages of a serial killer." Shutting off the projector and turning the lights back on, Monroe looked at Serena and said, "Johnson, I want you to head up this team and find our killer."
As shocked as she was, all she could do was nod and say "Yes ma'am."
"I'll leave you and your team here where you can get to work on the case. Good luck."
Heels clicked against the tiled floor as Jana Monroe walked out of the briefing room where she left her niece Serena Johnson to head up her first case. She just hoped she was doing the right thing.
"All right, how about we take a break for lunch then meet back here in about an hour." Serena said.
Chairs were heard screeching against the floor as they were being pulled out and pushed in to allow their occupant's dismissal. Serena thought about it and figured she'd have Raye and Andrew, Lita and Ken, and Darien and herself work in these pairs. Taking the chance to get to know Darien, she walked over to him and asked if he wanted to accompany her to lunch at the deli down the street. Getting the answer she wanted, Darien and Serena walked the 2 blocks to the deli.
"So Darien...What do you mean you have visions of brutal crimes?" Serena asked.
"Well, the first vision I had was of the 1975 case. It seemed like a dream, but I felt like I was watching the murder through the eyes of the killer. I was only three when I had that first vision but it ends up becoming some dream of mine. I've had that same recurring dream since then, but a month ago I started having a new dream. I saw a girl, maybe about 12 years old crying and begging for this person not to hurt her. I really thought she'd be safe since the person hadn't hurt her in the hours that they'd had her, but then I saw it, I saw it out of the corner of my eye. A hammer came down swiftly onto her head and I tried to stop it...I tried to wake up, but it was no use. I watched her die before my eyes and the real terror came the next morning. I turned on the 6 o'clock news to see her picture and to her that she had been murdered. Since then I've seen her being killed every time I fall asleep."
"I'm so sorry you have to go through this Darien" Serena said as she gently laid her hand on his.
"I'm all right, I just wanna help you know?"
"yeah" Serena said "I know"
Serena opened the door to her apartment as she dragged in a box of files and evidence. Over the past 10 hours, Lita, Andrew, Raye, Ken, Darien, and Serena have been going over the files and the evidence found in the cases. Looking over the records they found that there was nothing at all to identify who the killer is or might be, whether it be a hair or a finger print. After they heard the description of the murder supplied by Darien, they also realized that they were dealing with an experienced murderer. Wanting to take charge and get on her aunt's good side, Serena took it upon herself to sort through all the murder files from the last 20 years to see if there were similarities in any of them.
By the time she finally got tired it was 3:36 A.M. With the papers still scattered in her living room, she walked into her room, changed into pajama's and got into bed.
As she lay in bed, she can't help but think of the events that took place earlier today. First, being assigned to this case which she got to head up, second having Darien tell her about his problem and third being stuck in the office all day looking over the files. looking over at the clock that read 3:53 A.M., she decide to push these thoughts from my mind and get some rest, but I assure you, sleep didn't come so easily. At that moment, someone had decide to call her. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, wanting to kill the person on the other end of the line for depriving her of sleep, she answered the phone.
"Hello?"
Silence.
"Hello?" Serena asked again.
"Serena?" Came the shaky voice of Darien.
"Darien? What's wrong?" Serena said noticing his fear.
Sighing, Darien spoke, "It happened again...there's been another murder."
