Chapter 2

The BAU team along with the police department was working hours on end with no break in between. Mr. Harlen's life was on the line so they couldn't afford to take any breaks whatsoever. It was around 12 am when JJ's phone went off picking it up she moved away from the group to take her call, moments later she walked back to them shaking her head.

"They just found Andrews body!" JJ announced.

"Where?" Rossi asked.

"In a canal between Main and Clover Ave," JJ said with a sigh.

They left to go to the crime scene and when they arrived, they scattered around to search for clues in hopes they would get closer to the killer, but after several hours of searching they didn't find one single fiber and that frustrated them to no end so Hotch told his agents to go ahead and head back to the hotel for the night. On the way to the hotel Derek and Reid decided to get something to eat seeing how they didn't have time to have anything this morning besides coffee; after grabbing their dinner to go they headed back to the hotel room. After arriving both Derek and Reid headed up to their room where they began eating their food after closing and locking the door behind them, after the meal was finished Reid got up, grabbed his clothes and was about to head into the bathroom when Derek grabbed him by the waist pushing him up against the wall and started to kiss him passionately.

He stripped both of their clothes and began attacking his lover's neck kissing and sucking, Reid threw his head back and moaned with pleasure as his older lover prepared him and the next thing he knew Derek was taking him against the wall. Skin slapping against skin as Reid's back arched against him while he held on to his neck and head; not long after Reid cried out his release. Derek soon followed groaning as his orgasm hit hard. They both stayed that way for a few minutes then Derek slid out of Reid he then carried him into the bathroom where they got a shower then headed to bed.

The next morning they got ready and headed out for the police department so they could continue with their investigation. The BAU met up in the lobby once again and once everyone was together they left the hotel. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the police department they once again gathered into the conference room to go over every evidence they had gathered including pictures they had already hung up. Hotch called Garcia once again to gain information after giving her the unsub's description which consisted of his age, height, sex and race. Garcia took the information and told him that she will get what she can and get back to him. Hotch thanked and her and then he hung up and opening the folders they began going over the profile.

"Ok so what do we know?" Derek asked.

"We know that our unsub is targeting young men each one to his liking, but he doesn't keep them long. Unfortunately for us our last victim he killed him not even a couple of hours later meaning he is starting to get scared. He knows we are here and it will only be a matter of time before we catch him," JJ stated.

"Well then, it's only a matter of time before he strikes again so we need to find this guy before he does," Rossi stated and the team nodded in agreement.

"But where do we look? We don't even know where he lives or where he works, not to mention what he looks like," Prentiss said.

"True, and it makes our search 10 times more difficult when there are a lot of men that fit the same description as our unsub," Reid said and the team nodded just then Hotch's phone rang.

"What do you have Garcia?" Hotch asked placing her on speaker.

"I searched through the database for your unsub sir, and unfortunately I couldn't find a match," Garcia said Hotch sighed and nodded.

"Thanks Garcia please keep searching for us ok?" Hotch asked.

"You got it boss man! Be safe my loves. Garcia out," Garcia said then hung up.

"Well that didn't help us none," Rossi stated

"Yeah I know, but we have got to keep trying! We need to catch this guy before he strikes again," Derek stated.

"And we will," Hotch said.

"When?" Derek asked.

"I don't know," Hotch countered.

"What we need is a miracle" Reid stated and everyone nodded in agreement. It was like someone had heard Reid's comment when the captain came rushing in.

"I just got word that our killer struck again, but this time the guy got away! His name is Alex Harrison," he announced.

"Where is he now?"

"In the hospital. He was badly hurt, but he's conscious meaning he saw your unsub and he agreed on giving us a description on him." He told them. Hotch looked at him then turned to his agents.

"Alright, Derek, you and Reid head to the hospital, the rest of us will wait until we get a picture of the guy before we send it to Garcia." With that Derek and Reid left for the hospital.

Derek and Reid arrived at the hospital 30 minutes after leaving the police department, parking the SUV they got out and walked into the hospital. After showing the receptionist their badges and asking which room Mr. Harrison was in they strolled into room where Mr. Harrison was sitting. Mr. Harrison looked up and over to the two men who entered.

"Mr. Harrison, I'm SSA Derek Morgan and this is SSA Dr. Spencer Reid, we're with the FBI. Could you tell us what happened and give us a description of the man who tried to take you?" Derek asked as he introduced themselves.

Mr. Harrison nodded and began, "I was coming from the gym after having a work out when I was caught off guard..."

"What do you mean caught off guard?" Derek asked interrupting.

"I mean I was hit from behind, but I just happened to turn in time to see the guy come at me with a knife. I tried fighting him off, but as you can see I didn't do much good" Alex stated.

"Mr. Harrison you did what you had to do, but if you don't mind could you give a description of the guy to our sketch artist?" Reid said then asked. He nodded.

Derek took out his cell and called Hotch asking him to send a sketch artist down to the hospital and after hanging up, they sat and talked more about the guy. The sketch artist came in 30 minutes later and soon he gave a clear description on their unsub. Derek and Reid thanked Mr. Harrison before they got up and left the room. Derek told the sketch artist to take the picture back to the precinct. With a nod she left the hospital as did Derek and Reid unaware of that both of their lives are about to change.
