The team is on the jet, going over their newest case file of an unsub who has killed his victims differently each time. JJ is on her cell phone sitting in a seat near the cockpit, Reid is sitting next to Morgan with Prentiss sitting across from Morgan and Rossi sitting next to her. Hotchner is standing off to the side to face the group of them as they look at the file folders, he then lowered it and looked at Morgan, "what do you think Morgan?"

Setting down the file folders the group turned to look at Morgan who is slouched in his seat, "judging by the first victim's bruises he used a stick, something solid and hard like a pipe. According to how he struck Miss. Tanio and where he attacked her, the unsub knew he was in control, he knew he wouldn't be interrupted. The unsub took his time, he hid the body well in the dumpster, with how he concealed it shows he knows the area and that he may have done this before. He has a great deal of confidence" Morgan responded.

Hotch then looked to Prentiss, "how about yours?" he asked and she took a quick glimpse at the image of the beaten man in her folder. "The unsub clearly knows of his strength, knows of what he is capable of judging by the bruises. Each bruise indicates that the unsub never hesitated, as Morgan put it he was in control and knew he wouldn't be interrupted. Matt Seenson didn't stand a chance" she answered, the group then looked to Reid for his analysis on the last victim.

Reid removed his glasses, his file folder smaller than the others, "the proximity of the bullet holes says that the unsub was standing right in her face. This was personal, the unsub knew Katherine Bales and the way of how he set her in the house says he wanted her to be seen right away" he added and Rossi then shifted in his seat. "It sounds to me like this guy is power hungry, he knows of what he is capable of and he knows the place. The unsub wants us to see his work and say 'look at me, look at what I am capable of' but with his last victim it sounds like he killed her out of anger, she pushed a button of his or maybe she found out something he didn't want her to let out" Rossi said as JJ then closed up her cell phone to head to the others.

"Katherine Bales might have discovered he was the killer if he knew her. I wonder with his other two kills, considering his control if he has snapped or if he still feels he is in control of what is going on around him. What resources he has at his disposal to kill again, he won't be in hiding, the unsub could still be really confident with his surroundings" Hotchner added his thoughts just as JJ walked over to them.

The profilers turned their attention to her, a feeling in their gut that their unsub has killed again though her expression showing different. "I got news that the unsub has contacted the police, he says he has a man named Richard Roxten tied up in the man's mansion. However he told the police to come at a specific time with the FBI, the unsub gave his word he will not harm Mr. Roxten till we arrive at the time he has requested but if police arrive early then he will execute Mr. Roxten" JJ informed as she leaned against the seat Reid is sitting in.

"How much time has he given?" Hotchner asked as he looked at his watch to see they'll be landing in 3 more minutes.

"He has given us two hours, however if all goes to plan on his side when the police arrive with us he wants us to record from at least 4 different people who enter the house. The unsub wants to see how we execute going in to save Roxten and if we do not then he threatened to kill his next victim much sooner" JJ added, Reid, Prentiss and Hotch in return have questioning looks on their faces. "He wants us to document how we do our work up to how we catch him?" Rossi questioned as Hotch and JJ took seats and buckled in while they felt the jet start to lower.

"The unsub still feels in control, he wants to be in control to the end and wants us to see the crime scene's before we get to Roxten. Showing off his work" Morgan commented as they felt the jet shake a little as it continued to descend.

Shortly after they walked in the chief of police greeted them, he has a baldhead, a golden hoop earring in his left ear with part of his right ear lobe missing, obviously older, looks like he is starting to put on some weight and a short pointed beard at his chin. He is accompanied by two of his police officers, the one to his left younger than them both. He has short black hair with his bangs gelled, a handsome face, a good build, clean-shaven and a little taller than the two officers. The officer to the chief's right has medium length brown hair that is combed back, a smaller face than the other officer, looks to be a few years older than the other, he clearly hasn't shaven in the past two days as he has a light beard coming in. He is the same height as the chief.

"Hello and thank you for coming! I'm Police Chief Paul Renald; the man on my left is Nick McKain and on my right is Rodney Fenners" Renald introduced as he shook hands with Hotch and the others, as did his two officers.

"Hi, I'm Aaron Hotchner and this is my team Jennifer Jareau, David Rossi, Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss and Dr. Spencer Reid" Hotchner introduced in return as they then started for the room Renald has set up for them.

"McKain and Fenners have been on the case from the start, they know it as well as I do. McKain took as many pictures as he could for you as we wanted to give you as much visual feed as we could before you got here" Renald commented once they entered. His face is pale; he is obviously tired and hasn't dealt with a case like this before.

"I would like to send out Morgan and Reid to the first crime scene, Rossi and Prentiss to the second crime scene, JJ and I will speak with the families and then for Rossi and Prentiss to go to the third crime scene" Hotch requested and Renald nodded in accepting right away.

"McKain will drive Morgan and Reid, Fenners will take Rossi and Prentiss to their destinations. Katherine Bales' family hasn't gotten here yet, they are arriving by plane, and Victoria Tanio's family is here at the station and so is Matt Seenson's family" Renald responded and without a word the groups paired and went off.

Yellow tape is surrounding the area, part of the quieter area of the town they are in. A big run down building with alley ways on either side of it and behind, an office complex right behind the building with a tattoo place to the right and a really small convenience store to the left. The time the murder had happened at was roughly around 11:30, when most of the office works are all home, the tattoo place is closed and barely anyone comes around to the convenience store. A perfect area and time frame to take someone out without likely being noticed.

Morgan has just closed up his cell phone, Reid turned to look at him, "Do you think the unsub was waiting for her?" Reid asked and Morgan shook his head, McKain watching them as if hoping to learn something from one of the two agents.

"No… that was Garcia. Turns out Miss. Tanio worked in this office building" Morgan answered and Reid blinked, "so she stepped out the back door to do what?" he questioned out loud as Morgan looked up. Observing the height of the buildings, "not to make a phone call, it would be either really bad reception or none at all. Did she come out here for a smoke perhaps?" Morgan pondered and then shook his head; "most office workers aren't up that late at the office unless they have to be."

"Could the unsub have asked her to meet him out back of the building?" McKain piped in and Reid cocked his head at him, going over the many things in his mind, "you think he planned to kill her?" Reid asked and Morgan looked around the crime scene and began to picture it.

"I have been working late, I come outside to have a smoke, breath in some fresh cool air and walk around. I need to get my work done but first I need to wake myself up a little more to do it, a man walks up…" Morgan trailed off as he looked down the ally way. "The man try's to be friendly in asking me what I could be doing in an ally way at this time of night. I am unsure of him due to how late it is and I cannot see him perfectly, I tell him I was taking a break from work and that I have to get back to it, I turn to go back to the office building. He grabs a pipe lying on the ground, not liking the fact I am making it hard for him. He meant to toy with her at first but because that didn't work he goes in for the attack" Morgan said and his mind came back to where they are.

McKain blinked in amazement, "you got all of that just from looking at the area?" he asked and Reid looks like he is deep in thought. Morgan walks over to them both, they are closest to the entrance of the ally way between the tattoo place and the run down building, the woman's body had been dumped into the dumpster. "Your pictures helped, you sent us a lot more than we usually get so I already had an idea of the surroundings" Morgan responded, it made McKain smile that he had done something to help the FBI.

"The unsub happened to be in the area, he was planning on making a kill and already planned out how to dispose of the body" Reid said mostly to himself but Morgan nodded in agreement. "McKain, could you take us to the police station? We have to regroup really soon to meet the demands of this guy" Morgan requested, with that the three of them went back into the vehicle and drove off.

Rossi and Prentiss are at the second crime scene; seeing that what they had concluded to earlier on the jet had been correct. However the last one felt more important as it was a personal kill for the unsub.

Fenners is standing next to Prentiss while Rossi is looking at the chair from the front door; the chair is facing the front door. "He wanted whoever was going to look through her front window's or to step into the house to see her right away. He is proud he did the kill, wanted to show it off that even those close to him won't stand in his way" Rossi said as Prentiss folded her arms across her chest.

"Just like what we thought on the jet, McKain took a lot of pictures for us to already have a perspective of your guy" Prentiss said and Fenners sighed, both looked at him when he did that. "At first I thought it was kind of pointless to take that many and send them off but once we got that message I was actually happy that he did" Fenners admitted, Rossi then looked at his watch, "lets get going – we're running out of time."

Hotchner and JJ didn't learn much; there are no connections between those that had been killed. Neither of the families knew of why their loved one was killed. While the two agents waited JJ cross-referenced the three killed while talking to Garcia on the phone in hopes of her turning something up. The only thing they learned about Richard Roxten is that he has a lot of money, is the manager of a vastly growing business and that he lives in the mansion he is being held captive in.

Once the whole team had assembled they gathered the offices together to give a quick profile once they shared what they knew. Hotch took the center right away, "we are looking for a male between the age of 25 and 35, he is smart. He knows these area's, the unsub is most likely someone that lives in the area, knows the people, he knows his own abilities and likes to show off what he is capable of."

Morgan is leaning against an officer's desk with his arms folded lightly across his chest, "he took his time in killing the first two as he knew he wouldn't be interrupted and he enjoyed it. He could be someone with high authority in his line of work, someone respected that those under him wouldn't question him."

Prentiss is leaning against a wall next to the water jug, "With him having Roxten being held captive this one could be personal" she then looked to Rossi as he stepped in for the final words, "He may have been feeling things going downhill and decided to get back at the community with these kills. He won't show his anger through emotions, but he may show it at the house."

Taking a step forward Hotch looked at the officers, "if you encounter him, do not take him lightly. He knows of what he is doing" and with that Renald clapped his hands once and gave the order for the officers to get into their cars.

To Be Continued…

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next one will be interesting; I usually don't do a profile job in my stories or go over a crime scene so I hope I did all right on those aspects. Please Review. I really enjoy hearing your thoughts, opinions and suggestions. I'll have the next chapter up as soon as I can.
