POLICE DEPARTMENT

"This isn't The Butcher believe me." The lead detective said, leading half of the team into the station.

"We need a room with a whiteboard, a window, and five chairs." Rossi said, easily dodging the argument.

"Unless The Butcher has been in a time machine, it is just a young copycat." Detective Green said.

"The bodies were left in the exact same location." Reid argued.

"Everybody knew the details of this case, even the paper put in the answering machine messages." Detective Green said.

"Have you been able to step up police presence on Austin street?" Hotch interrupted.

"Well it's a 7 mile stretch through the city, I have done what I can considering our budget." Detective Green said.

"Are detective Clemmens, Benton, and Galager still here? They worked the first case." Rossi asked.

"Clemmens and Benton both died 2 years ago. Galager retired from the force when is wife was killed at the pentagon. 9/11Th detective Green answered resentfully.

"So your the lead detective on this?" Rossi asked.

"Unfortunately." The detective answered. "Well the families of the victims should be here any minute. If there is anything I can do to help you guys, let me know."

"Thank you." Hotch answered, walking away.

"You can tell from the burn wounds that they were assaulted with an electrified object." The ME said, handing Prentiss a clipboard.

"Curling iron? Poker?" Morgan asked.

"Inconclusive. They also have numerous lacerations on their bodies. Slight ones on the throat, deep ones on the chest." The ME said.

"Multiple knives." Emily said, looking at Morgan.

"This guy was creative." The ME said.

"Creatively sick." Emily said.

"What about the contusions on the back of their heads?" Emily asked.

"They were most likely sustained during the abduction." The ME said.

"This is different from The Butchers other abductions." Morgan said.

"Yeah, based on Rossi's profile, The Butcher was a smooth talker that lured his victims, without initial physical force." Emily said. "Clearly this unsub doesn't have the same confidence or finesse."

"He is sloppy." Morgan said, disgust covered his face as he looked back at the dead victim on the examining table.

"Thank you." Emily said as they started to leave.

"Your welcome." The ME nodded.

A blonde lady walked down the same road she did everyday on her way home from work. She passed by a big van and turned her head as the door slammed shut. A big man was carrying to bags of groceries. She immediately recognized him.

"Hey Colby, how have you been?" she asked. He slightly nodded. "I just got a job at Joe's Coffee, you should come by sometime."

He nodded his head awkwardly, "Sounds good."

"I'm hungry." The old man that was Colby's father said from the doorway. He started to walk towards them.

"How's he doin?" the blonde asked with a small smile.

The old man never gave Colby a chance to answer.

"What, am I talking to myself?" The old man was obviously irritated.

"I should go." The blonde said, she waved slightly and walked away.

"I have a caretaker for a reason, you gotta be on time. I don't pay ya to be late." The old man said.

"Im coming." Colby answered, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.

"That's what you said an hour ago." Colby had now made his way up to the doorstep by the old man.

"I should have got rid of you when I had the chance." The old man said bring his fist up by Colby's face. Only scaring him not enough power to actually hit him.

"The girl would have fed me by now." The old man finished and a walked back into the old house. Colby followed, glancing once behind him.

WITH VICTIM JENNY'S FAMILY

"She was so scared." The victims father said through tears, to an emotionless Agent Hotchner.

"Sorry I have to ask you to do this." Hotch said pressing play on the recording of the girl's last words to the ones she loved most.

"Mom. ., Dad. This is Jenny. I'm in trouble." The girl said with a sob. The recording played on with many tears.

WITH THE FIANCÉ OF THE VICTIM

"I kept asking her what was wrong." The man said with a sob. "She just made me listen."

The recording started.

WITH VICTIM JENNY'S FAMILY

"I know you taught me to never be afraid, but I'm so afraid right now." Jenny cried. The recording played on. "When you get this message, I will probably be dead. So I just wanted to tell you that-"

WITH THE FIANCÉ OF THE VICTIM

"Did you fiancée say anything that sounded out of the ordinary?" Rossi asked.

"No. She sounded like herself considering the circumstances." The fiancé answered.

"You say her audible features are consistent with her vernacular?" Reid asked.

The fiancé scrunched his eyebrows together, "Huh?"

"Are the words hers?" Rossi translated.

"Yeah it's what she said." The man was getting annoyed and exhausted.

WITH VICTIM JENNY'S FAMILY

"I need to ask you about the words Jenny used. Did it sound like something she would say? Does she sound like herself?" Hotch asked gently.

"We never told her to not be afraid." Jenny's mom said through hysterical sobs.

"Why would she say that?" The father asked looking at Hotch.

"She wouldn't." The mom said.

WITH THE FIANCÉ OF THE VICTIM

"At the end of the conversation, did Kara say that she enjoyed it?" Rossi asked.

"She didn't say she enjoyed it." The fiancé answered, wrinkling his brow at the ridiculousness of the question. "What are you guys not telling me?" He asked leaning forward. When neither agents replied, he stood up, "I need some air." As he left the room, Hotch walked in.

"What happened in there?" Hotch asked.

"We talked about the signature." Reid answered.

"Even though Jenny Delillys message didn't have the whole signature, I want you to see if it matches any of the old Butcher transcripts." Hotch ordered.

"You think something in Jenny's call was scripted?" Reid asked.

"Possibly." Hotch answered with a deep breath and walked away.
