CHAPTER 1
JJ sat at her desk looking through different case files trying to decide which one the team was going to take. Picking up a file from the stack on her desk in front of her, JJ opened it and looked through the photos. Immediately she got up and collected the team into the conference room. "There have been a series of murders in the small town of Bloomingdale, Ohio." JJ stated once everyone was situated around the large round table and had a copy of the file in their hands. "So far there have been seven murders, all white females around their late 20's, blonde hair and blue eyes, all within the past three weeks. They were raped, stabbed twice in the abdomen and then strangled." JJ clicked the remote and a photo of a woman popped up. "The first victim, Sarah White, was kidnapped from her home three weeks ago, she turned up in an alley two days later. The same thing with the other six victims." As they looked at all the victims photo's one thing went through their minds, all the victims looked similar to JJ, they knew this is why she picked this case. "By the way he's killing these women he's clearly taking a lot of anger out on them." Morgan said looking around the room at everyone, his eye's resting at JJ who was staring at the screen. "Any relation between the victims?" Prentiss asked looking at the file in her hand. "No relation what so ever." "He's dropping his victims in broad daylight, it's a wonder nobody saw him and if so he's clearly not afraid of being seen." Reid said looking up from his file. "Each of the alleys where the bodies were dumped are connected to the main road, how does this guy go unseen?" Morgan asked, you could hear how much this guy was already starting to annoy Morgan. "Ok, let's get moving. Wheels up in 30." Hotch announced as he walked out.

JJ sat on the plane waiting for it to take off, she got out her phone and texted Will. 'Hey, we got a case in Ohio, I'll see you in a few days and I'll call you tonight. Love you.' She tucked her phone away just as the plane took off.

When they landed in Bloomingdale they drove to the police station where they were greeted by the sheriff. "Hi, I'm Agent Jareau we spoke on the phone. These are Agents Hotchner, Rossi, Morgan, Prentiss and Dr, Reid." JJ said shaking the officers hand and pointing to each agent as she said their names. "Hi, I'm sheriff Carson, thank you again so much for coming out here. If you'll follow me we can get started." He led them into a room with a white board with all the victims photos and information, a coffee machine sat in the corner of the room and a round table stood in the middle. "Thank you this should do it. Lets get to work then." Hotch said taking a seat at the table. "Sheriff has the- oh, I'm guessing you're the FBI?" A young officer walked in and stopped when he saw the team standing there. "Yes, guys this is Officer Grayson. He's one of the officers that was working the case." Carson said as the Officer shook everyone's hand. Everyone sat down at the table and took a file that was in the middle of the table. "Every victim was left in an alley but out in the open, not behind a dumpster." Officer Grayson stated looking up from the file in his hand. "He wants his victims to be found easily, show people what he's capable of. You can tell by the marks on her wrists and ankles that he tied them up, and not to mention he stripped them down to only there tank top and underwear, telling them he has complete control over them." Reid said looking at a photo of Sophia Greenwell, victim five, who he thought looked a lot like JJ, which worried him. "How's he kidnapping these women?" Grayson asked. "We won't know for sure until we take a closer look." Rossi said. "By what he's doing to them we can assume its about a relationship that went bad and he's targeting women resembling his old girlfriend so he must be in the same age range." Prentiss said addressing the photo of the third victim, Barbra hues. Who, like all the other victims, had strangulation marks on her neck and blood covering her tank top from where she was stabbed and bled out. "So the guy we're looking for is a white male in his late 20's? You just described over half of the men in Bloomingdale." Sheriff Carson exclaimed resting his head on his hand. "Yes, but we can narrow it down." "How do we even know he's local?" Officer Grayson piped up from the end of the table. "He has to be because if you look at the photos of where the victims were taken it doesn't look like there was a struggle, and the first victim was taken from her home but there wasn't any sign of forced entry so they would have had to known the person we're looking for." Reid stated obviously racking the officers brain a little. "JJ, you ok?" Morgan asked, everyone looked over at JJ who was starring down at her file with misted eyes who had been silent this whole time. "JJ!" Morgan said a little louder. "What, um yeah, I'm fine. Are we ready to give a press conference?" She asked quickly passing it off. "Yeah, I'll get everything set up." Sheriff Carson got up and left the room, a few eyes still lingering on JJ.

"The man we are looking for is to be around his late 20's, single, he's local so he blends in. He's targeting women in their late 20's with blond hair and blue eyes. The FBI along with the Bloomingdale police department are doing everything they can to catch this man.." -
He watched her as she told them about him, he noticed how her beautiful blonde hair shined in the sunlight. She looked so much like Heather. Yes, he had to have her, and this time he would really make her suffer. -
