Powerful Persuasion
Summary: There is a serial killer loose in LA. He targets Powerful, Successful Women. What will the agents of the CNU, when he targets one of their own...What happens when his need to kill turns from women, to the CNU agents hunting for him?
Chapter One
Breaking New coming in from Channel Six. The Serial Killer that has become known as the SBGS Killer has struck again. He killed Defense Attorney Kelli Malone, as she left her office building late last night. Now for those of you who don't know, SBGS stands for Stripped, Bound, Gagged, and Stabbed. Now the SBGS Killer has killed Nine Women in the past two week. The FBI along with the help of the LAPD have been hunting him. The SBGS Killer, has been said to be just as dangerous as LA's past Serial Killer The Zodiac.
The FBI is asking that all women to be extra careful, especially after dark. They are asking that if at all possible to not leave your house after dark, and if you must leave, please be escorted by someone else.
This is all the information we have at the moment, the soon as more becomes available we will be sure to pass it on to you.
The feel at the FBI Los Angeles building was fearful. They all stood staring at the television, fearing for they're safety.
"Okay guys, we need to get to work. We've been put on high alert, and we've been called on to help. I know this is not our jurisidiction , but the higher ups have asked that every available agent be made available to the homicide department," Cheryl said, deciding that work needed to be done.
The higher ups had also requested that every woman working in the federal building needed to be escorted by a male agent. For the past two weeks Frank has been escorting Cheryl, Duff escorting Lia, and Matt escorting Emily.
Matt had become increasingly stressed about the loose serial killer, and has had Emily stay with him every night for the past two weeks. Not that it bothered Emily that much.
"Matt, Emily, you two are with Lia on trying to get some sort of a track on 'him.' Duff and Frank you two with the rest of HRT are to go to a meeting with the homicide department," Cheryl said, trying to get them into action.
"How are you today?" Lia asked Emily when the couple entered the R.Sims room.
"Tired, every single noise heard outside, Matt has to check out. We're lucky to get two hours of sleep a night," Emily said, rubbing the tiredness from her eyes.
"I'm just looking out for you," Matt said, his arm slung around Emily's waist. He didn't care about procedure or the rules right now. He just wanted to be close to Emily.
"Yeah, I know the feeling Emily. Duff has been sleeping on my couch for two weeks, it's a wonder he's standing up-right," Lia said, chuckling at her joke.
"I didn't peg Duff as the knight in shining armor type," Emily said, as she took a look at the computer screen in front of them.
"He's a big softie, but please don't tell him I told you that," Lia said.
"I won't." Emily paused and waited for Matt to assure Lia that he wouldn't say a word either. "Excuse me."
"Oh, me either," Matt said, trying to pretend he was intriged by what was on the screen in front of them.
"He won't, don't worry. He's to afraid of what will happen if he does," Emily said, eyeballing him.
"I won't say a word," Matt said, as he put his fingers to his lips to ensure they were zipped.
"Okay the only lead homicide has on this guy is that he drive a beat up old gray Ford Ranger. They said that the year is between a '89 to a '95," Lia said, just incase the two negotiators didn't know that information.
"Okay, but that's like a needle in a haystack. I mean for all we know is that this guy hides outside the city during the day, and only come out at night," Emily stated.
"Well, the first girl was attacked before nightfall, so that helps us a little. Was there any camera's where the first girl was attacked?" Matt asked.
"No, if there was this would be a lot easier," Lia said.
"Lia I'm looking for a very important but here," Matt said.
"But someone did see a man leave in a gray pickup. Snapped a picture," Lia said, as she pulled up the picture of the pick up.
"Okay, so is this our guy?" Matt asked, as he received looks from both colleuges.
"Well Matt if we knew that do you think we'd be crammed in the R.Sims room trying to find him?" Emily asked.
Matt just shook his head at his own stupidity, while he heard Lia chuckle.
"How's it coming guys?" Cheryl asked, entering the R.Sims room.
"Not so good," Lia said.
"Okay just keep at it, and come find me if you find anything," Cheryl said.

Seven and a Half Long Hours Later
"Frank, I can certainly walk to my car myself," Cheryl argued as she headed toward the elevator, with Frank following close behind her.
"Frank seriously, I am capable of protecting myself," Cheryl said, as she got into the elevator, and closed the doors so Frank couldn't enter behind her.
Cheryl got off the elevator, and made her way to the parking lot. She couldn't believe how protective of her Frank was. She got closer to her car, but stopped when she heard someone following her.
"I don't know who you are, but I have a gun and I will use it," Cheryl said.
She started to walk again, but stopped almost instantly. She turned toward where the noise was coming from, and looked around but didn't see anyone. She turned back toward her car, when she felt an intense pain in her stomach. She looked down and saw blood pouring from her stomach. She looked up and saw a masked man staring back at her, his blue eyes piercing hers. She tried to yell out, but no sound would come out of her mouth. She fell to the ground, as the man stood over her. He stabbed her three more times, and then took off running.
"Cheryl," Frank called. He saw her car, but didn't see her.
He got a little closer, and saw that she was lying on the ground surrounded by a pool of blood.
"Cheryl," Frank screamed, as he ran to her.
He bent down beside her and checked her for a pulse. 'Weak' he thought. He grabbed his walkie talkie from his back pocket. Him and Duff had decided to start carrying them everywhere, just incase they ran into trouble.
"Duff," Frank all but screamed into the small device.
"Duff here," Duff answered.
"Duff, Cheryl's down, she's been stabbed, call 911 NOW!" Frank screamed.
"Cheryl got what by who now?" Duff asked, as he was now surrounded by Lia, Matt and Emily.
"She got stabbed, it looks like four different stab wounds, she's losing blood and fast," Frank said.
Emily grabbed the phone and dialed 911.
"911 what's your emergency," the operator said.
"Yeah this is special agent Emily Lehman, we have an agent down, and she's fading fast, we need an ambulence at the FBI Field Office parking garage, and we need it asap," Emily nearly screamed at the operator.

Ten Long Minutes Later
"Come on Cheryl, stay with me," Frank said, as he continued to do CPR.
The rest of the CNU agents were now standing around Cheryl, waiting on the ambulence. They all heard the sirens in the distance. Emily and Lia both had tears in they're eyes. Matt and Duff had they're arms around the girls, as the ambulence pulled into the parking garage.
They all said a silent prayer for Cheryl, as the EMT's got out of the ambulence, and made they're way over to Cheryl. They stood over her, and loaded her on the gurney, and put her into the back of the ambulence, and took off for the hospital.
