Agent Jennifer Jareau stood before a television screen with a remote in her hand. "Japan has had two victims in two days, each with a gunshot wound to the head," she spoke aloud to her teammates. She brought up a picture on the screen of a girl in her early twenties, brown hair tied back in braids. "The first victim, Julia Chang, is an environmentalist who strived to rebuild the rainforest that once surrounded her homeland." J.J. pushed another button and brought up a picture of a dark-skinned man wearing a jaguar mask over his face. "The second victim is a wrestler who goes by the name of King. We haven't been able to find out his real name."
"Both the victims were not natives of Japan," a young man piped up. He seemed too young to be in the FBI, when actually he had very many degrees. "Maybe the UnSub is a nationalist?"
"That's possible, Reid," J.J. answered. "We need to find out everything we can in order to connect the two victims. It's only a matter of time before he kills again. I'm going to talk to Julia's mother."

J.J. arrived at Michelle Chang's doorstep and knocked gently on the door. A woman in her early forties answered the door, her brown hair tied back in a pony tail. The blonde woman spoke up quickly, "Hi, I'm agent Jennifer Jareau from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit."
"Is this about Julia? Oh my god, I knew she shouldn't have gone to that tournament," Michelle cried as she rung her hands and a worried look took over her countanence.
"I'm so sorry." Michelle invited her in and J.J. explained the details of the case. "You said the Julia was in Japan for a tournament?"
"The King of Iron Fist Tournament. I went for the first two years and Julia has gone every year after that."
J.J. held out the picture of King. "Do you recognize this man?"
"Yes, he was in the tournament since the beginning. He was killed too?"
J.J. nodded and reached for her ringing cell phone. "Morgan, what did you find out?"
"We've got another body. Asuka Kazama. So much for the nationalist theory. I just sent you the photo."
"Okay, Thanks, Morgan. Can you also have Garcia look up The King of Iron Fist Tournament? That might be where the UnSub met our victims." J.J. hung up the phone and turned back to Michelle. "They just found a third victim. The girl's name is Asuka Kazama. Did you know her as well?"
"No," Michelle said. "But there was another woman with the last name of Kazama in the second tournament, though Jun died shortly afterwards."
................................................................................................................................................
"Is there any connection between Jun Kazama and Asuka Kazama?" J.J. asked technical analyst Penelope Garcia.
"No," the rapid sound of typing came to J.J.'s eardrums. "But Jun Kazama died fifteen years after the birth of her son Jin Kazama at the end of the second tournament. The third tournament didn't start until four years later when the boy was nineteen. His father is Kazuya Mishima, son of Heihachi Mishima who owns the tournament."
"Thanks, Garcia. And Asuka is enrolled in the tournament as well?"
"Yes she fact, I'm sending you a list of all who are in the tournament, past and present, along with their pictures."
J.J. laid down and closed her eyes to take a nap before she arrived in Japan to meet back up with the rest of the team.
