Walking into the Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, Virginia, would be daunting enough already for any new member of the team, but for Holly Green, this was going to do nothing but spark up old memories from her time in both Pittsburgh and in Australia. The last thing she needed on her mind was what had happened all those years ago. Standing in the elevator to the required floor, Holly took a deep breath, pushed everything from her mind, and walked out of the elevator into the bullpen.

Walking into the room, it felt like all eyes were on her. She ran a hand through her wavy, blond hair, and remembered why she was here in the first place; to protect people from the monsters that lurk in every corner. A group of people approached her, with someone who looked oddly familiar.

"Good morning, I'm Special Agent Aaron Hotchner," one of the men started, "the Unit Chief of this division. This is Agent David Rossi, Doctor Spencer Reid, Agent Derek Morgan, Doctor Alex Blake, and Agent Jennifer Jareau, but she prefers-"

"JJ?" Holly asked, a look of intense surprise on her face.

"Holly?" JJ asked, mirroring Holly's surprise. "Where the hell have you been?" Holly responded with a shrug.

"Wait, JJ, you know this woman?" Doctor Spencer Reid asked.

"Yeah, she went to East Allegheny High with me after she transferred from Australia. She was my best friend in high school, we even got scholarships to go to the University of Pittsburgh together. Where did you disappear to?" she asked, rounding on Holly.

"I went back to Australia and finished university. I later joined the Australian Federal Police and specialized in profiling. And now I'm here. What more is there to know?" Holly explained, somewhat sarcastically.

"'What more is there to know'?" JJ exploded. "You were my best friend, and all of a sudden you disappeared! You haven't said a word to me for fifteen years! And now you waltz in here asking 'what more is there to know'? You've got a lot of nerve!"

Agent Morgan stood up suddenly, with one arm extended towards JJ, one to Holly, hoping to break up the little dispute. "Alright girls, settle down."

Agent Rossi also stood up. "Let's start fresh shall we?" he turned to Holly, hand outstretched. "I'm David Rossi. You must be Holly Green, it is such a pleasure to meet you. I heard you specialize in rapists and other sex offenders?"

JJ raised an eyebrow, and turned to Holly. "Does she now?" she muttered to no one in particular.

Holly fiddled with the sleeves of her jacket, pulling them down past the halfway point of her palms. "Yes," she responded, "I examine what makes rapists do what they do, and I work out in the field to make sure those monsters are stopped." She had said this all in one breath, and had unknowingly balled up her fists while talking about what she did. Everyone looked at her, concern and worry plastering each of their faces. Once Holly looked at everyone's expressions, she looked down to realize she had started shaking. She quickly unclenched her fingers, and picked up her go-bag.

"Anyone else I should be introduced to?" she asked, not wanting to have to do too many more introductions.

"Yeah," Doctor Blake started, "our Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia. She's probably cooped up in her office playing Tetris."

"Hey!" A young, blond woman, with bright glasses and very flamboyant clothing, maybe a few years older than Holly, came strolling into the room with her tablet in her hand. Holly can only assume this was Penelope Garcia. "I only play Tetris after hours and on weekends. Hi, I'm Garcia, you must be Agent Green, nice to meet you." She smiled, shaking Holly's hand. Holly returned it with a nod. "Anyway, we got a new case. Everyone in the briefing room."

"Heather Buchanan, Laura Potter, Amy Wells, Jackie Rider, Lucy Johnson, Molly Rivers, Ariana Dodge," Garcia began, each picture flashing on the screen as she read out the seven victims. Looking at the photos, Holly suddenly realized where this case was going and instinctively pulled her sleeves lower, making sure no one could hear her now shallow breaths. "All of these girls are victims of what they are calling the Pittsburgh Rapist, these seven victims have been his victims over the last five years." Holly was now trying desperately to control her hands, which were now starting to shake. JJ gave her a sideways glance, a look of concern briefly flashing across her face only to return her attention to Garcia.

"Considering he's a rapist, he could have raped dozens of other girls, and over a longer period of time." Agent Hotchner added.

"What's strange seems to be his victimology, they all seem to have some form of resemblance to each other." Reid began.

"Maybe he's looking for revenge?" Agent Morgan asked.

"Well it doesn't seem to be that way, because they don't exactly look alike, do they?" Reid answered. "But there seems to be four points of similarity; the location, the blond hair, the green eyes and-"

"And the freckles." Holly finally managed to choke out. Everyone turned to her. She quickly glanced around, her emerald green eyes darting around for a moment, and looked back down, still shaking.

"So the victims have to be not only in Pittsburgh, but they have to have one of these physical features?" Blake asked, sheer curiosity taking over her facial expression.

"And they're all eighteen," Garcia replied with a nod.

"Looks like we have a very dangerous serial rapist. Wheels up in 30." Hotchner concluded.

Holly was the first one to pack up the files and leave the room. The rest of the group just stared at her as she rushed out of the room.

"What's up with her?" Morgan asked, dumbfounded.

"Well, her first ever case is a case she specializes in, she might just be getting to the plane early to look over the files more." Rossi shrugged.

"So," Blake began, turning to JJ, who remained unusually quiet all briefing, "has Holly changed much since you guys went to high school?"

"You have no idea," JJ muttered bitterly. She was next to grab her files and storm out of the room.

"Girls, eh?" Morgan chuckled, leaning over to Rossi.

"Try marrying three of them." Rossi responded.
