A/N: Hey, sorry it took me so long to update! I've been busy, plus I've worked on other stories, but I finally got it up! Here's the next chapter, enjoy!

chapter 4

"So what have we got on the victim?" Sam asked.

"Not much," Colby answered. "All we really know is that he went missing about a week ago, most likely abducted on his way home from work."

"Where did he work?" Ian inquired.

"Luther's Pawn Shop. It's basically a dump," David told him.

"So why was he targeted?" Don asked.

"I don't necessarily think it was him specifically." They all turned to look at Megan, curious expressions on all of their faces. "What I mean is, I don't think Garrett was targeting the victim, I think he was just some random person," Megan explained. "I think Garrett just wanted to get our attention." Don shook his head.

"Well, it worked. The question is, what's his next move, and how do we find him?" Ian and Sam shared an uneasy look with one another, neither really wanting to tell them, knowing how they, or more specifically Don, would take it.

"It's not that simple," Ian sighed.

"What do you mean?" David questioned.

"What he means is that last time it took us three months to get as close as we did, and there was a team before us that had already been after him for five months," Sam informed them.

"And we only got as far as we did by studying his actions, and trying to figure out what he was after and how he was getting it," Ian added.

"But four people had already died by the time we got anywhere close," Sam finished.

"But can't we just study his actions from last time, that would probably give us a good idea of his next move, wouldn't it?" Colby questioned. Ian and Sam both shook their heads.

"He's smart enough to change up the way he acts this time. He knows we're on to him, so he's gonna screw with our heads as much as possible," Ian said.

"But we know what he wants, don't we?" David asked. "He wants revenge."

"Most likely," Sam agreed. "Which definitely changes the game. We don't how he's gonna act."

"So how are we gonna figure out what his next move is gonna be?" Don asked them, not wanting to have to wait till more bodies piled up to catch this guy.

"Well, I can work on putting together a profile, maybe get an idea of what he might do," Megan told him.

"OK, good. You guys work on that," he said, pointing to her, Sam, and Ian, who all nodded their agreement. "David and Colby, you guys see if you can find surveillance, witnesses, anything about where, when, and how the victim was abducted." They nodded. "I'll go talk to Charlie, maybe he can figure out a way to predict this guy's next move, or where he might be hiding."

-

"Hey guys, what've you got?" Don asked as he got back to the office.

"Nothing useful," Colby sighed tiredly. "No one saw or heard anything. We couldn't even find security footage of the vic."

"Not that surprising considering the neighborhood though," David added. Don nodded dejectedly, he hadn't really expected them to find anything considering how careful Sam and Ian said he'd been last time.

"Yeah, Charlie said he couldn't really do anything either. If this guy's changing the way he operates, then we really have no clue what he's gonna do until he does something else." David and Colby nodded their agreement somberly.

"Hey, any luck?" Ian asked as he and Sam came over.

"Nah, nothing," Colby answered. "What about you guys?"

"Reeves is looking over everything now."

"So, we basically have nothing," David stated grimly. "All we can do basically is wait for him to do something."

"Pretty much," Ian exhaled. "But he should do something soon. He won't wait too long."

"Don't worry too much, his next move will most likely be relatively passive, probably not another victim," Sam told Don, knowing he was worried about finding another body. Don just stared at her for a second.

"You sure about that?" he challenged. Sam shrugged slightly.

"Pretty sure," she replied confidently, yet slightly cocky. Ian and Colby smirked, while David was able to hide his for the most part.

-

"Hey, looks like you were right," David told Sam when he came to get her out of the break room.

"What are you talking about?" she asked as she started to follow him.

"Garrett's on the phone."

-

"It's been a long time Agent Edgerton," came the voice over the speakerphone.

"Why now Garrett?" Ian shot back. "You wait three years to come back now, and for what? The victim didn't exactly fit with your usual preference." Garrett chuckled on the other end of the line.

"That was nothing, nor was it really any fun. He didn't fight back. I only killed him to get your attention."

"So, now you got our attention, what do you want?" Ian asked impatiently, he'd forgotten how much this guy's ego got on his nerves.

"Oh, I think you know." Ian, Don, Megan, and Colby all shared an apprehensive look with each other. "How is Agent Carson? She seems to have recovered well." Sam and David entered the room quietly. Ian shot Sam a look, and she gave a slight nod, leaving the rest of them rather confused. "So, how are you doing Samantha?" Sam's gaze shot to the phone as she leaned on the table. Ian took a deep breath.

"You been following me?" she asked, her tone dangerous.

"Don't flatter yourself Samantha. But I do have some nice pictures. Tell me...how is your son? Brian, isn't it?" Sam's knuckles were ghostly white she was gripping the table so hard. Everyone could see the evident fury on her face, especially in her eyes. "Not going to answer? Well, that's fine. I really should be going, though you won't be able to trace this call either way. I look forward to our next meeting Samantha, hopefully this time you'll be smart and I won't have to shoot you. You probably won't believe me, but I really did hate having to do that."

"Why don't you just come on in and save us all the hassle?" she countered lightly, but her tone was strained.

"Now where would the fun in that be? You know that's not how the game is played. But don't worry, it should be interesting." And with that he hung up.

Don looked at Megan, who shook her head to tell him they hadn't been able to trace the call. They were all silent for a minute before Colby finally said what was on all of their minds.

"So I guess he really is after you," he commented to Sam. If looks really could kill, Colby would be dead from the glare she sent him before storming out of the room.
