It had been a quiet week at the office. JJ had only come up with paper work for all the agents to get done. So they should be out of the office fairly early tonight. It was Friday and they were all excited about the weekend that they were supposed to have off. It was 3:30 on the clock on the wall as we all looked up at Hotch's door to see what was going on up there. The door was open as usual and he was sitting as his desk. Reid had already tried to get out of work early but had been told "NO". So Morgan was not going to try. If Hotch had said no to his favourite agent he would certainly say no to him.

At five to four JJ walked into Hotch's office and shut the door behind her. "We need to talk. I just got a case that needs to be solved as soon as possible."

Hotch got up from his desk and took the file from her hand and opened it. "What do we have?"

"6 people 4 males 2 females were taken and placed on the front of the parliament steps this morning. This is the 4 time in three weeks that it has happened. And the police don't think they can handle it." JJ replied looking at the folder in his hands.

"Gather the team in the round table room. We need to get on this right away. Have there been any more missing?"

"That is just it, they were not supposed to be missing the unsub kept them for less than 20 minutes. There is one other thing all the bodies so far have been found with no blood left in them." She walked out of the office. Really not wanting to see his face after she had given him the last piece of news. She went down the stairs, over to where the rest of the team was sitting working on stuff. "Round table room now we have a serious case."

Morgan and Prentiss looked up from their papers they were working on and Reid just looked at her. "JJ it is almost home time. I was hoping to have the night to myself and get away from everything. I wanted to have some fun doing things this weekend."

"Sorry, Spence but we need to deal with this now. Believe me when I tell you that it is serious." She left and walked into the room to set the stuff up on the screen for them all to see what was going on. It took a few minutes but slowly they all filed in.

"What do we have, JJ?" Rossi looked at the screen and sat down when he saw that she had not turned it on yet.

"6 people: 4 males, 2 females. All at least 28 were found dead on the steps of the parliament buildings this morning. This being the most recent display of 4 times in three weeks. Locals don't think that they can handle the situation. There is very little physical evidence at the scene. Obviously the unsub thinks that they can get away with this and the bodies are being placed on the steps. Now we all know how busy that is at night with the parks around but as far as we can tell there are no witnesses." She turned on the screen to show the agents what was going on. She saw a few of them flinch at the sight of the bodies, but Hotch was the first one to speak.

"All the bodies so far have been found without any blood left in them, and as far as we can tell no sign of physical torture. The unsub is smart enough to put the body out on display before they are even found out to be missing." Hotch stated.

"So what are we thinking?" Morgan started. "That this thing needs the human blood to stay alive?"

"Actually from what I can tell there has never really been a case of actual vampire activity in the area. Nor has an actual vampire ever been caught. It is more than likely just someone who is using the blood for other purposes." Reid stated calmly.

Prentiss shivered again, "Well whatever this thing is it has a sick mind of reality and I don't want to be anywhere near it when it strikes again."

"The ME actually said that the victims felt very little pain if any so they thought. Almost as if it was a mercy killing. There is something that you have to know about the victims each of them had been found to have some kind of illness that they would die from. So the unsub is working with the mercy killing rule. But it is only going to be a matter of time before they run out of victims." JJ handed the reports around the table.

"We are meeting up with the locals in 2 hours at the station. I suggest that we all go home and get some food, and a nap. It is going to be a long couple of days." Hotch said, "This has already hit the news and it is going to explode big time."

A/N: I know this is shorter than alot of the chapters but here is the first one. Vampire side is coming up next.
