He ran the dull side of the knife up her legs and then he dug the blade up both of her arms. She had gashes from her wrists to shoulder. They oozed blood and soon her arms had turned red. The tears in the corners of her eyes fell and rolled sown the sides of her face towards her ears. "Your friends will never find you," he whispered into her ear. "No one has ever been found."

He grabbed the small orange bottle that had pills in it. He pored two of the small round, white pills out onto his hand. "Take these," he said holding them and the bottle of water to her mouth. She didn't open her mouth. "Open your mouth or I will make you," he said forcefully. She finally did as he asked. He dropped them in and pored the water down her throat. She all most choked before swallowing. "You know you're only supposed to take one but I like it much better when they take two," he said and began to untie her. When she got to her feet her legs were shaking and ready to give out. He walked her over to the cage and shoved her in. "don't worry the pills will start to work any minute now," He said right before throwing a black tarp over the cage.

Emily curled up in a ball and slid down in a laying position. She could barley move without hitting the side of the metal cage. The tarp made everything dark. She couldn't see anything. Then she saw a long boney finger come into the cage and start to pull the tarp off. She was starting to see more and more of the creature. It was tall and skinny, almost like a skeleton. Blood dripped from its eyes and mouth. Its hands reached down and started grabbing her. She started screaming and trashing, trying to pull away. "Stop it! Go away!" she screamed. The room started spinning and more of the creatures came out of the walls and floor. She shut her eyes and hugged herself tightly. She heard the door open and someone call her name. "Morgan?" she asked. She looked up and saw Morgan in the doorway.

"Emily… help," he said before falling to the floor. She watched as a pool of blood formed around his whole body. "Morgan!" she screamed. Then she saw JJ come in holding a knife. Her eyes were glowing red. She reached out and grabbed Reid from the hall. She began to stab him over and over on the chest. "STOP IT!" she screamed before her voice was raw. "Stop it!" she whispered as she closed her eyes and balled. She cried so hard she didn't think she had anymore tears left. She ended up passing out from exhaustion.

Jim sat in his chair with beer in hand. He laughed as Emily screamed knowing none of it was real.

It had taken two hours for the ecstasy to ware off. He walked back to Emily room and took the tarp off. She was still asleep. He loved to see how weak she had become. She loved to tare strong women down. He was glad it had worked the first time. Some of the women had had a happy experience, so he gave it to them over and over until they suffered, but sadly they ended up OD-ing.

He quietly opened the cage door and pulled her out. He carried her back to the table and tied her back down. He couldn't stop staring at her face. She was very pretty, but she was also very vulnerable. Her weakness got him going, and he couldn't take it any more. He didn't care that she wasn't conscience at the moment. He undressed her and himself once more hoping she wouldn't wake.

*CM*

It was a Saturday morning and she planning on sleeping in and relaxing all day, but when she got the emotional call from an old friend of hers she didn't hesitate to come in. She would do almost anything to help people she cared about out. When she arrived at the BAU she met JJ in front of the bullpen. Greeting her with a hug JJ walked her back to the briefing room she once knew. "Guys I have someone here who can help us," JJ announced.

"Who?" Hotch asked.

"Me," Elle said walking in.

"Elle?!" Reid exclaimed.

"Hey Reid, hey guys."

She was ambushed by Garcia with a hug, and a hug by Morgan. "As you all know I moved to sex crimes and JJ called me asking if I could be of assistance."

"Yes if you don't mind," Hotch asked.

"Not at all,"

"Uh Elle this is Agent David Rossi,"

"Elle Greenaway pleasure to meet you,"

"You as well,"

"I don't remember working on the weekends."

"Well something came up, so I assume you haven't been filled in?"

"No JJ just said it was urgent."

"You know Agent Prentiss, right?"

"Yeah wasn't she my replacement?"

"Yes."

"Well where is she because I would really like to meet her."

"That's why your here. Garcia," Hotch said gesturing towards her computer. Garcia went back to the security tape and skipped to when Emily was in the parking lot. She turned the laptop around so Elle could see.

Elle gasped. "I'm so sorry guys."

"You know who the man is right?" Rossi asked.

"Zoom in,"

"Oh my god, I am really sorry guys. I will do what ever I can to help you get her back."

"What do you know about him?" Morgan asked.

"He's been around for about three years now and has killed at least 17 women, and there could be more but those are the ones we know about. They women are normally found about 72 hours after being reported missing. He's sneaky. We haven't been close to even catching him."

"How do you know he's the killer?" Reid asked.

"Because he doesn't have a specific type we have to look closely at what he's done. Besides being raped all of the women had traces of ecstasy in their systems and none of them did drugs. So we have to assume he gave it to them. Other than that we have nothing. All of the knife wounds are different."

"Well it's been fifteen hours so we have 57 hours to find her."

"Well we better find her soon!" Morgan growled slamming his fist onto the table. He got up and left the room without another word.

Morgan walked down and into the break room. He grabbed a mug and pored himself some coffee. "Hey Derek are you ok?" Elle asked jogging towards him.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Is there something you want to talk about?" he just gave her a look. "Hey I know I haven't been here for awhile and I'm not up to date with everything that's been going on, but I will always be here to listen."

"I know….. I'm just afraid I'm going to lose her again. It's like she cant catch a break. I don't know if it's bad luck or what. I love her and I don't want anything else to happen to her-" Morgan stopped realizing what he had just said. 'I love her,' did he really just say that. "I mean she's my partner, my friend and I care about her a lot and I think of her as family…"

"You lover her," Elle asked giving him the look.

Morgan sighed, "More than anything."

"We will find her, and your secret is safe with me," she said zipping her lips and throwing the key away.

"Thanks."

"Come on, we better get back in there before Hotch comes looking for us."

*CM*

Emily woke up with a throbbing pain in her head. Realizing she was back on the table she panicked. What had he done? She moved her waist and winced in pain. She looked up to the best of her ability and saw twice as much blood in-between her legs. Had he done it while she was out? She just wanted to go home.

*CM*

"Have you guys gotten anything yet?" Elle asked.

"Well Garcia gave me the list of the 17 women and I've started a geographical profile, so I will let you know when I'm done," Reid stated. "What did you guys have on him?"

"Not much but we did know for sure was that he hunted at night."

"Did you guys have any suspects?" Morgan asked.

"Yeah just a couple, here let's see….." she said digging through her file.

"Sean Michel's, Ron Farmers, Jim Rodgers, Andy Matthews, and Randy Nout."

"And did you pursue?" Hotch asked.

"Of course, but Andy Matthews died in a car accident two months ago. Ron Farmers had a tight alibi when Shelly Pope, the fifteenth victim was kidnapped. We had Sean Michel's in custody when another body turned up. Randy Nout was just hospitalized after being injured on the job. And Jim Rodgers was at work when the last victim was taken."

"What a load of bad luck," Rossi said.

"Tell me about it."

"Wait guys Jim Rodgers he's the owner of the car," JJ said. "Isn't it a little weird for his name to pop up twice like that?"

"What car?" Elle asked.

"The get away car, Garcia was able to get a plate. It belonged to Jim but he had reported it missing a month or so ago."

"I don't like it, we should go check it out," Hotch said.

"Hey guys you might want to come take a look at this," Reid said. "Ok so I finished the map but it's kind of weird."

"Weird how?" Hotch asked.

"Well the first fourteen victims formed an equilateral triangle, but then the next three made an upside-down triangle in the middle of the first triangle. So that's the seventeen. Emily is the eighteenth and was taken from here which is in the center, so I have no idea where he would live. The whole thing is centered on the BAU."

"We need to go now," Hotch demanded.

"Wait what about Strauss doesn't she need to know and don't we need to be invited in? I mean what would Strauss do if she wasn't informed?" JJ asked with a worried look on her face.

"She's right. I'll call her." Hotch pulled out his phone and walking out.

"What is it Agent Hotchner?" a tired voice answered.

"Sorry to bother you ma'am but this is very important. Agent Prentiss was kidnapped by a serial rapist last night and we need permission to go to a suspects' house."

"Have you been invited in?"

"No why would we be invited if we are the only ones who know?" he asked getting impatient.

She sighed. "Are you absolutely sure about this guy?" she asked firmly.

"Yes ma'am," he lied.

"Fine but if you're wrong there will be consequences."

"Yes ma'am thank you ma'am."

"Your welcome, just get her back," she said and hung up.

Hotch walked back to the room. "We have permission, but I just lied to Strauss so we better be right about this."

*CM*

Jim walked up to Emily holding the orange bottle of pills. "I enjoyed hearing your screams so much I think we should do this again."

"No," she begged.

"Yes," he corrected her.

'Stay strong Emily,' she told herself. "I'm not going to take another one of those damn pills."

"Yes... You... Are," he said holding the knife to her neck. She got the message and slowly opened her mouth. "Lets try something knew," he said as she swallowed. He untied her and made her stand. He grabbed some duct tape from under the table and taped her arms behind her back. He put a piece over her mouth and a piece of cloth over her eyes blinding her. He shoved her back into the cage. "Have fun," he smirked.

Emily was disappointed in her self for not fighting back, but them again she couldn't. He had her constrained pretty well and she was already weak as it was. Before she knew to the madness began.

*CM*

The team sped down the road with their sirens blaring. They were bout thirty minutes out with the paramedic's right behind them.

*CM*

This time it didn't last as long. Emily was shaking and rattling the sage as she did. Just like a high, it will never be as good as the first one. "Over already?" he pouted. "Oh well, I guess we could always move on to plan 'B'. He strapped her back onto the table but kept the tape that covered her mouth and blind fold on. "I love hearing you scream. It's like music to my ears. I could hear you banging on the cage trying to get out," he said reaching for the corkscrew. He placed the point on her side. "This may hurt a little," he grinned and pushed in.

Emily screamed bloody murder through the tape as he twisted. When he finished only the small rectangle handle stuck out. "You know what my mother did to me? She beat me when I was little; she beat me with her bare hands. I would go to school with burses on my stomach, my back and arms. The other kids would always ask me about them if I didn't cover up. The hands of a woman, and mother should be kind and gentle. Not hard and mean. This is why I must punish you," he said sadly. He grabbed one of the scalpels and moved closer to her hands. He flattened it and drove the knife right through it. It passed into her hand into the table on the other side. She screamed as he did the other. She couldn't move her hands for they were pierced to the table. The cloth became soaked with her tears. She could feel the blood pooling in the palm of her hands.

'This was it,' she thought. 'This was the end.' She began to hyperventilate and soon she passed out from all of the pain.

He watched as her stiff body relaxed. He chucked and left the room without another word.

*CM*

The team pulled up in front of the house and literally jumped from their cars. They saw the car pulled around back. "This is it," Morgan confirmed. They ran up to the door and stood back and Morgan kicked it in, not prepared for what was on the other side.
