"Everyone meet me in the boardroom in ten minutes." Aaron Hotchner advised as he walked briskly through the bullpen of the BAU. The look on his face had been more stern than usual, but before anyone could ask any questions he was out of sight.
Prentiss and Reid exchanged a confused look as Morgan stood up from his desk,
"Now what can this be about? We were having a nice, slow afternoon and now this?" He complained in a gruff tone. He was looking forward to actually having a weekend off, but after his boss' brisk appearance he had a feeling it wasn't going to happen.
"I don't know, sounds pretty serious…" Reid replied as he stood and picked up his notepad and a pen from his dishevelled desk. "Guess we'd better get in there…"
"There have been six known victims in the past two months. The MO has relatively stayed the same. All victims have been in their twenties to early thirties, all have had dark brown hair, all have been beaten and tortured before being murdered. All victims have died because of extreme asphyxiation. I had just received a call from the Captain of the Seattle Police Department. Sorry everyone, but looks like your weekend is ruined. Wheels will be going up in 30, we'll brief more on the plane." Hotch explained as he paced slowly in front of the large projection screen. Only this time there were no pictures, no time for set up. It was a jump case.
"Woah, woah…" Morgan spoke up as he raised his open palms in the air. Hotch stopped grabbing the papers from the large table to look up at him. "If this has been happening for two months, why are they just asking for our help now??"
Hotch shoved the papers into his briefcase as he replied, "They couldn't connect the murders until now. They've been occurring all over Seattle and his team of officers have just come to the conclusion that it may all have been committed by the same unsub."
"How did they figure it out? I mean what's so different about this last victim from the rest?" Reid questioned curiously as everyone began standing up. It was the same question the rest of the team had on their minds.
Hotch looked back to the group as he grabbed the doorknob on the heavy door,
"Because this one survived…"
