"Screaming. Who's screaming? Why do I hear screaming?" Charles Eppes couldn't shake his nightmare.

"Why is there screaming? Somebody stop it! STOP IT!"

"Charlie, wake up it's just a bad dream. Charlie!" Alan tried to wake his youngest son from his terrible sleep.

"Charlie."

"Dad. Someone was screaming. I couldn't stop the screaming." Charlie had obvious fear in his eyes and couldn't figure out how to get rid of it even using math.

"Hey, I come over and bring coffee and I get yelled at. Damn." Don said as he walked upstairs into his brother's room seeing Charlie on the floor. "C'mon we're gonna be late."

Charlie quickly got up from the floor and started getting ready for the day. Packing a few math papers here, FBI cases there. Then out the door. David Sinclair and Meagan Reeves were already in the board room ready to present the case to Don and Charlie.

"Hey Charlie. Rough night?" Meagan noticed.

"Yeah, You could say that."

"Hey Don, Charlie. You might want to brace yourselves for this one it's pretty nasty." David warned.

David pulled up the images of the dead girls on the projector screen, and indeed they were unbearable. Three were dead already. With the police baffled the FBI took the case. The killer had obviously shown no remorse whatsoever. The girls were teenage, white, and brunette, a theme. Their heads decapitated, arms no where to be found, legs in the dumpsters next to them, breasts gone, nose cut off, eyes gouged out, and the stomach cut to show the words "Catch Me… If You Can."

"I told you it was gruesome." David let out after seeing the faces of his colleagues change from just awakened to horrified.

"Okay, um i want to know who these girls were in and out of school, their interests, hobbies, friends, boyfriends anything we're going to stop this guy before this happens again, alright. C'mon let's go, get to work." Don commanded them. "Hey, Charlie. You don't have to be here right now. No look I want you to go to Cal-Sci and teach your students. If we get anything I'll let you know."

Charlie was ready to leave Cal-Sci and get back the the FBI Building to see what Meagan and David found on the dead girls. Amita was already gone helping Larry with a new Physics Department Project. Besides he would see Amita later and ask how her day was and if she would be able to work the case with him. Just as Charlie zipped up his bag a knock came at his door

"Professor Eppes?" Said a girl's voice

"Yes" He replied.

"Professor Charles Eppes, the mathematician?"

"Yes, now is there anything I can help you with, a math problem of some sort?" By the way Charlie said this she could tell he was annoyed with her already.

"I just transferred here from Berkley-" Before she could finish her story Charlie cut her off.

"Berkley's a great college why didn't you stay there?"

"I have my reasons. And why do you care, you don't even know me."

"You don't look old enough to be in college." He inquired.

"So, I graduated high school at the same age you did does that mean I can't attend college." She said coolly.

"No I guess it doesn't" He said chuckling. "So what's name and what do you want?"

"My name's Kayley and I want my family to know I exist."

"What are you like a black sheep and no one understands you?"

"No I mean they really don't know that I exist." She tried to explain to him.

"Okay, but why are you telling me?"

"Because," Kayley takes a deep breath and tries to relax her body, "you are a part of my family. You are my dad, Professor Eppes."
