Xxx

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

She resisted the urge to gag and throw up as she watched the video which was playing on the large screen.

And by the looks of her colleagues, they were trying to resist doing the same.
Even after the short film had stopped playing, the images were playing over and over again in their heads.
"So as you can see. We want this monster caught ASAP" The voice of Director Leon Vance brought everyone out of the stupor.
Special Agent Beaudine Carter swallowed deeply and blinked a few times. Thinking that if she did this; the horrific images she had seen just moments earlier would vanish forever. But there was no such luck.

"How can we find him? There's no forensic evidence at any of the scenes" G Callen said from where he was standing next to Kensi Blye and Sam Hanna.
Leon bowed his head "As you all saw, he likes to taunt us. Enjoys sending videos, pictures of him mutilating his victims..."
"While they're still kicking and screaming" Sam cut in; a disgusted tone in his voice.

"Unfortunately yes. I was hoping that maybe you lot can help us catch the killer. We've already dot DoA, ICE, FBI, CIA, MI-11 all ready investigating the killings in their jurisdictions; and now, we have you five investigating the killings in the NCIS jurisdiction" Leon continued to explain.
Kensi's nails had dug into her arm "She was a marine" She stated simply.

Leon once again nodded "Let's just hope we catch him before he kills again. A lot of people are counting on you" He said finally before he signalled to be cut-off, leaving a rainbow coloured screen behind.
Beaudine looked over at Eric Beal who was looking suspiciously pale "You okay man?" She asked the techie.

Eric nodded "What kind of person does that to someone?" He said quietly.
"Someone pretty messed up" The team's psychologist Nate Getz answered as he uncrossed his arms and walked away.
Sam and G walked over to Beaudine and stood in front of her "You okay?" G asked as he shot the twenty two year old woman a sympathetic look.
"Give me a moment" Beaudine said as she pushed past the two men and walked out of the darkened room.

G looked at Sam "I don't wanna take this case" He said simply.
Sam shook his head "None of us do. But we don't have a choice" He stated as he turned around and followed the same path Beaudine took moments earlier.

The sight of the girl screaming as she was slowly getting tortured played throughout her mind as though it was playing slide by slide.
Beaudine couldn't help but let a few stray tears fall down her cheeks; but she quickly wiped them away. Knowing that she was stronger then this.
Inside, she knew that there was no way she could leave this job in tact. She had been told when she first joined that she was either going to leave this job very heavily sedated or in a body bag. Death most likely being by her own hand.
At first she said that she would never take that jump. She would never pull the trigger on herself. But now; it was seeming more and more likely that she would.

After seeing the horrors of what mankind does to each other. To their own.

"Bo. Are you okay?" Nate asked as he came to stand next to her.
Beaudine nodded "Peachy. Just want this case over and done with. That's all" She gave a fake smile and leaned back in her chair.
"I think I'll be working overtime with this one" Nate let out a tired sigh and walked over to an arm chair, falling backwards into it.

Kensi walked down the stairs "We don't even know where to start. I mean, there's no forensics. It's like telling an accountant 'Sorry, but there's no numbers'" She sarcastically said as she also threw herself into a chair.
"Well we have a video. Maybe we can start there. It has to have been posted right? So find out where it was posted from" G called out as he and Sam walked down the hall.

"Because that's going to be a piece of cake" Kensi once again sarcastically remarked.
Beaudine switched on her computer and leaned back "How about after this, we go and get so drunk we just forget about it" She suggested.
Sam nodded "Sounds like a good idea to me" He said as he sat down at his desk and pulled his phone up to his ear.

G came and sat at his desk; once again, he had the displeasure of watching the video, hoping and preying to anyone who was listening that there was some sort of clue to the whereabouts of this sadistic killer.
They only looked up when operations manager Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange walked into the small area of desks "If any of you need to talk....." She said as she looked at her four agents and the psychologist.
"I think Eric's going to be the one more traumatised by this. He's still a baby" Beaudine called out as she searched for local post offices.

"You're younger then he is" Sam pointed out.
Beaudine nodded "But I'm used to seeing dead people. People getting....." She couldn't even say the word without the picture of the marine being shown her insides popping up in her head.
"Not that bad though" G pointed out as he looked up from the screen. Finally deciding that he'd had enough of watching the tape.

"Just be happy we don't have any probies in the building this year" Hetty joked as she walked back into her small, open office.
Everyone gave a short laugh at this and looked at each other "Who could do this to someone?" Beaudine repeated Eric's earlier question.
The room suddenly fell quiet as they remembered what they were facing.
