Reid stared out the window, looking into the clouds, with his book in his lap, day dreaming. They had just finished a case in Idaho, where two brothers were kidnapping their victim off the highway and placing them in the middle of the wood. They then hunted them like animals.

Most of the team slept the way back. Gideon slept on the couch, Hotch curled up on a chair and JJ slept on Reid's shoulder after she finished her magazine.

He could hear Morgan and Prentiss's conversation. They were never very quiet.

"You ok?" Morgan said as he sat down opposite Prentiss

"Umm" Prentiss shrugged

"I never see you look so, um.."

"Quiet" Prentiss answered for him.

Morgan place his hands on his lap and looked up "What's Up?"

Prentiss turned away from the window and looked at Morgan, "Bobbi Baird asked me a question that's sticking with me"

"What was it?"

"She asked me how they could do it. How those men could…" she paused "hunt and kill people in the woods."

"What did you tell her." He asked.

"That they don't think like we do. But… the truth is that we do think like them."

Morgan looked at her, "Yeah, we do, because it's our job." He said studying her reaction, "We need to know how it feels."

"We hunt these people every day. The question is… how different are we? Us and them?"

Morgan looked at her then turn away. How different are we? Reid thought. Prentiss was right.

oOoOoOoCM OoOoOoO

"Get off me…." She rasped and I sat above her. "..Get off me, please?"

She was begging now, and because of the drugs her voice was soft and dry. I reached out to the table.

"Please….no…..please, please, don't do it." She whispered.

I dragged the knife slowly up her torso, making a shallow cut as I moved it up. She whimpered. I slashed down her hip and she let out a cry of pain.

I continued moving the knife around her bloody body until she became limp. I got up and walk around the bed, which was now painted red with hints for the cream that it used to be.

"Please…" she managed to get out, "What did I do?" she rasped.

I was now standing behind her head. "I sorry, but…" I said softly and a moved the knife to her neck. She sighed away but I moved it closer. "You had this coming."

I moved the knife across her neck with my other hand holding her head. I felt her soul leave her body as it went cold and lifeless. I picked her up and moved her towards my car. I placed her in the boot, "I am so sorry, but as I said….." I looked away from the car reaching up to grab the door. "You had this coming."

And with that I closed the lid and made my way to the front of the car.

oOoOoOo CM OoOoOoO

Reid was the first one in to work that morning. He sat at his desk placing his large Starbuck coffee next to the pile of paper work. He looked around and notice that his pile had half of Morgan and Prentiss's added to the top.

By the time Prentiss show up at work he had already finished 5 and was half way through number 6.

"Good morning Reid." she chimed

"Morning." He mumbled trying to focus on his work.

Prentiss start at him for a second. "Are you ok." She asked calmly.

"Yes, just tired." Reid whined as he took a sip of his coffee.

It was 9:30am when JJ rushed past the bullpen and straight to Hotch's office.

"That doesn't look good." Prentiss said as she followed JJ with her eyes.

"What doesn't look good?" Morgan said as he strolled into the bullpen.

"That" Prentiss point out that Hotch was now standing and making his way to the door.

"Conference room, NOW."

They all stood up and flooded into the conference room.

"4 teenage girls age 14 have been raped and murdered in the pass month in Georgia. The first victim, Sally Saul wasn't raped but her body was more mutilated." JJ said as pictures of the girls flashed onto the screen. "Isabella White was the first rape victim, she had only had one cut wound, a slit of the throat. The other wounds were defence markings. Hannah Jones and Claire Harris had simular wounds." She took a deep breath. "And Jamie-Lee Smith has been reported missing. The Police think it related because all these girls go to the same school. Each girl is missing for 6 days and then found. But Claire had only been gone for 4."

"It seems that he's evolving." Prentiss mumbled.

"Everyone on the Jet in 30." Hotch said sternly.

Everyone jumped up and headed out of the room grabbing their go bags and headed to the SUVs.

Reid pulled himself in the car as Morgan watched him.

"I heard your conversation the other day." Reid said.

Morgan look at him confused.

"The one with Emily." Reid said.

"Yeah. What 'bout it?" Morgan looked across at Reid as he drove away from the Headquarters towards the Airport.

"She right you know. About us not been that different."

"But it's our job." Morgan pointed out.

"I know, I know. But we hunt them like they hunt their victims." Reid said

"Reid…" Morgan said.

"it's funny, I didn't really think about it until Emily mention it."

"Reid…" Morgan repeated.

"But now I can't get it out of my head. I jus-"

"SPENCER!" Morgan yelled. Reid turn his head shock at what Morgan had just called him. "I get it but I really don't want to have this conversation again."

Reid sat there in silence. "m sorry." He mumbled

"It ok Pretty Boy, it not your fault." Morgan said slowly watching what he said.

5 minutes later he pulled up at the tarmac. "Come on Pretty Boy, let's go."

oOoOoOo CM OoOoOoO

As the team went over the case Reid just sat there, Silent. When they finished Reid stood up and walk over to the couch and pull out a book from his bag. After a while Reid had only turned 5 pages. Not only that but he was mumbling under his breath as if he was having a conversation.

"Do you think he's alright?" Morgan asked as JJ flipped a page of her magazine.

"Not really. How long has he been on the page?"

"5 minutes JJ, 5 minutes" Morgan said. JJ could feel the concern in his voice. This wasn't normal and nobody liked it.

"I'll talk to him, ok?" JJ said as she stood up tossing her magazine to Prentiss.

Reid stared at the figure in front of him. Bloody and bruised.

"Help me, please." The figure said again. Reid had been trying to ignore him for the whole trip.

"I can't right now." Reid whispered. "They are watching me." As he talked his voice got quieter.

"Please, I need to find my daughter." He was begging now.

"Fine, I will help you but not know, ok? Come over to my place tonight. I will be at the Hotel." Reid mumbled.

"Thank you." The figure said as it disappeared. JJ walk through the space where he once was.

"Hey Spence… are you ok?" JJ asked.

Oh god! Reid thought. How was he going to explain this?

Reid just sat there like he was in trance. "Spence…?"

"Erm?" Reid looked up at JJ.

"Are you ok?" JJ repeated as she sat next to Reid.

"Oh, 'm fine." He said as he turn back to look in front of him. "Why?"

"I just wanted to know it you were ok. Morgan said you have been on that page for 5 minutes."

"Oh." Reid said. "Well, 'm fine. And could you tell Morgan to stop be so concerned about me. In fact make sure everyone knows that I am fine and I just would rather if you all would stop bothering me about it!" He snapped. His head fell into his book as he started to read again.

JJ stood up slowly and made her way back to Morgan. "That did not go well." She breathed.

oOoOoOo CM OoOoOoO

It had been a long day of nothing. They had nothing on this case. Reid flopped onto his bed. "Ok… What do you want?"

"Help." The Voice said slowly. "To find my family. My daughter. Jamie. Here name is Jamie-lee Smith."
