AN: Sorry for the wait. I couldn't figure out what to do, but I think I finally got an idea.


"Ok we have to go over whatever case that the reaper was talking about. " Rossi said.

"Well, it must have been somewhat recent right? It couldn't have been more than a year old. " Reid suggested.

"Yeah, a minimum of three months ago. This was planned. Morgan you take Reid and Prentiss back to the office and go over the case files. JJ, you and I will stay here. " Rossi said.

The three profilers made it back to the office and were sat in the bullpen reading over past cases.

"It has to involve a victim where we have gotten there just a little too late. The problem is we've done so many. " Reid said.

"I know, but there has to be something. The guy sounded in his late 30's so his brother would've been in his 30's as well right?" Morgan suggested.

"I'm going to go and give Lynch a list of cases with 30 year old male victims to narrow through, I will be back. " Prentiss said before standing up and heading to the computer cave.

She entered the room and handed Lynch the files. She walked back out and went back to her desk.


Haley was sitting on the mat looking around the room they were trapped in. "Penelope" Haley whispered hoping the other would be awake.

"Huh?" Penelope responded just as quiet.

"What do you think he's going to do to us?"

"I don't really know. I have a feeling it will be awful though. We just have to have faith that Aaron will rescue us. " Penelope answered truthfully.

"Ya know, Aaron always talked about his team when we were still together. " Haley said.

"Really? Actually I don't know why I'm surprised. " Penelope said.

"He talked about you a lot too. I always thought it was because you're the heart of the team. Even though we hadn't been around each other much I knew you were more affected by the cases. " Haley said.

"If anyone would be able to make Aaron open up again it would be you, so I'm glad you are together. "

"Oh. I'm glad. " Penelope said. Penelope went to say something else but the door opened and entered their captor with a blank expression on his face and no emotion in his eyes.

"Well I hope you ladies have enjoyed the...adjustment period. Now it's time for the games to begin. " He said.

He walks over to Penelope and leans down to unchain her, only to have her kick him in the face. He growls and slaps her, hard.

"Fine. I guess we'll just have to start with her then. " The man said angrily pointing to Haley.

He unchained Haley and even though she was fighting him he just dragged her out of the room.
