Chapter 2

Ken Avery, aka Ben Averitt, had had a grudge against Derek Morgan for over nine years. In April of 2000, Derek was still working for the Chicago Police Department and for the previous couple of months had been working as a detective in the sex crimes department. Chicago had been experiencing a rash of rapes and murders by an unsub that the press had dubbed the Marilyn Monroe rapist. Once a month for 6 months, someone had been kidnapping , raping and murdering blonde, curvaceous women in the Chicago area. He would film the torture of the women and send theblack and white videos to the local media letting them know where he had dumped the bodies.

Derek and his task force had worked for months trying to catch up with the unsub. Finally in the late Spring months of 2000, the Chicago task force, in conjunction with the FBI, had finally identified the rapist. Bradley Averitt was a 29 year old menial laborer who had sought revenge against blondes when his similar looking fiance of five years had left him for another man.

When they finally caught up with Bradley, he had barricaded himsel f inside an abandoned warehouse, refusing to give himself up. Derek's team was sent in after the suspect. By the time it was over, Derek had had to shoot Bradley in order to subdue him and Bradley had ended up in a coma for several weeks before finally succumbing to his injuries. Derek's shooting was deemed justified and no disciplinary actions had been deemed necessary by the police department. In the end, Derek's actions in the case had been what initially caused him to be noticed by the FBI, ultimately leading to the job offer with the FBI and BAU unit.

However, Ben Averitt, Bradley's younger brother, had never forgiven Derek for the death of his brother and had vowed revenge. For eight long years he had searched for the perfect way in which to extract revenge for his brother's death. Ben had always followed Derek's career with the FBI and a year ago had finally found a way in which to infiltrate and study Derek's life up close and personally.

The coffee shop in the lobby of the FBI building in Quantico had posted a "help wanted" ad in the local papers. Being a civilian contractor of the FBI, the background check for the employees wasn't as stringent as for the government agents who worked in the building. Ben Averitt had managed to have fake identity papers made in the name of Ken Avery and to get himself hired as an assistant pastry chef. From his job in the small shop, he had the perfect vantage point from which to watch Morgan and to develop his plans for revenge.

It didn't take long for Avery to realize that the bubbly blonde that went by the name of Garcia was someone special to Derek Morgan. He often watched from the back of the small coffee shop as the two came into together for breaks. It was undeniable there was a special connection between the two. The fact that Garcia bore an uncanny resemblance to Bradley's bitch of a fiance was just an added bonus for Ken.

"Bradley would be so proud", Ken thought to himself as he waited for Garcia to show up in the parking garage. "This one's for you you big brother", Ken mumbled as he watched the buxom blonde carelessly approach him fifteen minutes later….

TBC..I know that this chapter wasn't the most exciting but felt that the background was needed. Next one will be more action packed…I promise! Please R&R, your reviews mean everything J
