The NCIS team minus Gibbs sat at their desks, Ziva and Lily typing at their computers, McGee and Tony bickering about one thing or another. As per his usual routine Gibbs, walked in the bullpen, threw his empty coffee cup in the bin, grabbed his bag and barked "dead Petty officer at Rock Creek Park". The team all quickly grabbed their bags and followed Gibbs to the elevator.

In the FBI Quantico HQ building, in a room, the BAU sat around a round table watching a briefing from their Media liaison Jennifer Jareau. On the screen behind her was the image of a woman, young, bruised, bloody and dead. This was the image of the second victim of what the media was dubbing "The Sandpit Killer" as all bodies had been found in national parks, covered in sand. Metro police had requested the help of the FBI after the case got more media attention. Metro was also handing over some of the reins to a Naval investigative organisation as this morning's victim was Navy. JJ went through the main details of the case, the others watching intently, throwing out suggestions on the profile occasionally. All victims had been raped, beaten then had their necks snapped. When the presentation was over Hotch told his team to grab their bags and to head over to the Quantico Navy Yard. The team quickly filed out and went over to their desks. Once they all had their bags, they headed out to the SUVs and filed in, grateful for a local case.
