A/N Hope everyone likes this new story. I have writers block for Please Be Mine and I have some ideas for this. Sorry the chapter is so short, my computer died and this is all I was inspired to rewrite. Also the title is a work in progress. Big thank you to my Beta Reader EmBonesAddict

It was dark, and there was a slight breeze as he walked to his car. He was surprised that it was so dark for only being… he check his watch, 8:30pm. The last time he checked it, it was 6:45 and the team had just wrapped up a very strange case. The UNSUB had confessed and the team was heading to the hotel and going back to Quantico in the morning.

He reached his car thinking about the past few days' events and how well his team had worked together. He was so lucky to be a part of such a unified team.

He was at his car door when he felt something hit the back of his head and a sharp pain. He fell to the ground and looked up to see someone in a black hood leaning over him. Suddenly, his vision became blurry, and everything went black as he drifted off.

3 days earlier

Quantico Sunday 7:00 am

"Okay, so we have somewhat of an interesting and kind of disturbing case." JJ addressed the team members as they settled down in the briefing room.

"As opposed to the cases we usually see? And is there a reason we are here on a Sunday?" Emily was half awake and drinking a large cup of coffee to try to stay awake.

"Yes, this case is different and needs our attention right away." Hotch walked in to the room looking wide awake, as if he had been up for hours. "Thank you all for coming in so early and sorry I am late, I had to drop Jack off at Rebecca's. JJ please continue."

"Okay, in the suburbs, about 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia, there have been three women killed and each has been found within two days of each other."

"That's not much of a cooling off period." Emily's head was on the table and it looked as if she was talking in her sleep.

"Yes," Hotch interjected, "which is why the local police want us there as soon as possible."

JJ began briefing the team again, "Okay, so this is where it gets weird. The cause of death was asphyxiation, but after that all of their blood was drained. The bodies were found two days later and the next woman was abducted the same day. Also, the weirdest part is that each woman was dressed up."

"Okay, I'll admit the cause of death is unusual, but we have seen an UNSUB dress women up before. Do you mean dressed up, like a fancy dress or skirt?" Morgan scanned the room to see how the others were reacting.

"No, it is nothing like we have experienced before. The UNSUB is dressing the women up in what seems to be Halloween costumes." When JJ said this the entire team suddenly became alert.

"What kind of costumes?" Reid asked seemingly very interested.

"Not know Reid, sorry to leave you all at a cliffhanger during this briefing, but we are running late the way it is. JJ will explain more on the plane. Wheels up in 10." Hotch immediately left the room and made a beeline straight to his office."

The team all settled on to the plane and waited for JJ to continue her presentation. "There are three women who have been attacked. The first victim is Courtney Bradshaw, age 29. The second, Mia Greene, age 25. And the last, Sydney Delaney, age 27. They were dressed up in what seems to be Halloween costumes, a cat, a cowgirl, and a cheerleader."

Rossi kept relatively calm as the rest of the team exchanged looks at the new information. "Approximately how much longer do we have before another victim is possibly going to be found?"

"As of now, if the pattern stays the same, there will be a new victim in about 13 hours."

"Did the medical examiner find any traces of rape?" Prentiss asked somewhat nervously.

"No the women weren't raped or sexually assaulted."

"Okay so that rules out sexual sadist." Morgan was deep in thought, trying to piece together what JJ had being saying.

"The costumes would make sense except, Halloween was almost three weeks ago." Spencer continued to think of solutions to the UNSUB's reasoning.

Morgan continued, "He also doesn't cross racial lines. They are all Caucasian women in their late twenties. All three victims were upper – middle class and lived in nice neighborhoods."

Emily replied to Morgan, "They all have different hair color, though. It would make more sense it they were all brunettes or blondes. These are also all high risk victims that disappeared in the middle of the day."

"Garcia, I need you to find out everything you can about each victim. We need to know family, friends, co–works, or anyone they would have talked to in the last month. Check to see if they had a certain routine, like if they went to the grocery store on a certain day of the week. Also, look to see if they have any connections to each other, no matter how small."

The team turned toward the computer. "Okay, I can do that. But Hotch, its going to take me some time."

"You have a little less than thirteen hours." and with that Garcia nodded and hung up. "I want everyone to rest up now, and be ready for when we land."
