I got the blade

Change your mind

I'll make you stay"

Kimberly began to pale as she remembered the faceless body and felt her stomach lurch.

"Are you going to be sick?" Trini asked, grabbing onto Kim's arm, while Cassidine grabbed onto her other arm and they studied her. Kim nodded and Trini helped her over to a bush where she lost the only thing she had eaten that day, a doughnut. Trini held her hair and rubbed her back gently and looked away.

"Its ok, I'd get sick, but I'm too used to this by now." Trini said sadly, and Cassidine just didn't say anything for the same fear of losing her breakfast. A few minutes later Trini lead Kim back, her arm comforting around other woman's shoulder, when they got back to the group Shawn offered Kim a water bottle. Kim accepted it and drank it greedily; Julie gave a sympathetic smile.

"We know how it is, we're not going to hold it against you or anything. We've all had an experience like that." Kim gave a small, weak smile and looked down, still ashamed that she'd gotten sick.

"Come on, let's get out of here, we'll discuss what we have and then meet up with the M.E. later on." Trini said, her voice had no emotions attached to it, together the group headed to their headquarters-which for now was a diner, they decided that it might help Kim a little to eat and the men were complaining about being hungry. The 6 crammed themselves into a booth in the back and quickly went over the menu then after the waitress came and took their orders, leaving them with tall glasses of water, they began to discuss what the witnesses said.

"The one kid-Nicole said she and her two friends were jogging like they did everyday when this man bowled into them, he was blood soaked, that's what drew them over in the first place. We collected her hooded sweatshirt to see if can get any fibers off of it, and its on a rush at the lab.

Anyways, they all got a good look at his face and immediately wrote it down because they knew that he must have killed someone by the way he was covered in blood. Then they went down to the where he came from and found the body…or what was left of it, and immediately called the police. They didn't touch anything and didn't get too close to the body, they even marked for footprints that the man made. Apparently they watch a lot of Court TV." Shawn said, Trini sighed and tried to move away from the bodies pressed close against her with no avail.

"Its good that they do pay attention to those details, are they with a sketch artist now?" she asked, Julie nodded, and spoke up with her information.

"They were treated for shock and then they were going to go to the police station to wait for us, I know you want this handled by our team alone so I decided that if they meet us there and we take them to the FBI building it'd be better." Trini nodded.

"Thank you, that's what I wanted." She said, those who had been working with her nodded, knowingly.

"We know." The said in unison, Trini grinned guiltily then the waitress came with their lunch and they ate in silence, then headed back to the Police Station where the three teens were waiting. Soon they were at the FBI Building, and Dylan had began getting the facial composition from the teens and made a computer image and turned the screen for all to see.

"Is this the man you saw?" he asked the teens, they nodded and Trini looked icily at the computerized face. Kim hadn't seen such a dark look on Trini's face; Kim was now determined to help her no matter what.

"Print it up and run it through the database." Trini said, and Dylan automatically printed it, and handed it to Julie who walked out and headed to the room where they could compare it to everyone in the database. The teens were thanked and were driven home an Agent that had been called in when Trini's cell phone rang.

"Kwan" she stated coldly, then she paled and hung up, sighing angrily as she did.

"What happened?" Cassidine asked, Trini slammed her fist into the desk, splintering it where her knuckles penetrated the wood.

"He got two more this time. Two 17-year-old girls from Reefside, he shot their boyfriends when they tried to stop him. We're going there now."

"You brought it all, all on yourself, you're strange to me

You brought on all this mess

My needs were not addressed

You caused so much distress

This much you must admit

You've changed

Everything about you is strange

Look at yourself, you've changed

With the facts in your face

It's causing conflict

I'm not the one who changed"

You've Changed by Flaw

Reefside Hospital

Trini split the group into two teams the first was she, Kim and Cassidine while the other was Shawn, Julie and Dylan. Dylan and Cassidine had been getting very close and Trini feared that if she didn't separate them they were going to get too close (if you know what I mean). As Trini, Kim and Cassidine approached the room where the first victim was Kim inhaled a familiar cologne and stopped dead in her tracks.

"Trini, he's in there."

"Who? The killer?" Cassidine asked, Kim shot her partner a look and Trini arched her eyebrows, knowing the 'he' she was referring to.

"Are you sure? We're not even near the room yet? Do you want to switch groups?" Trini asked, Kim shook her head no and knew for Trini she had to be strong and set aside everything in her past.

"No, I can handle this, we just need to get information so we can catch this murdering bastard." Kim said, and inhaling again she walked strongly into the first room.

"Hello Tommy."

Room Two

Dylan, Shawn and Julie entered the room to see the second boy lying in bed. A gray hat capped his long brown hair; his unnatural gray eyes were studying them.

"Where's Cassidy? Have you learned anything else?" Devin asked, Julie shook her head as they gathered around his bed.

"Can you tell us what happened?" Shawn asked, Devin nodded and let out a shuddering sigh.

"Cassidy and I were heading to Hayley's Cyber Café to relax when this car pulled up tried to grab her. I hit his arm away and he let go, then he stopped the car, I grabbed her and started running then I heard a shot and then I felt this searing pain in my arm and Cass started screaming. I stumbled and I fell and she didn't continue to run, she-she stayed with me and then she screamed and then I was clocked in the head and her screams were the last thing I heard." Devin explained, wincing as he sat up at little bit more, and looked over to his bag that was on the night table at his side.

"Oh good, its ok." He said, Dylan blinked slowly.

"You always have your camera?" he asked, Devin nodded, and pressed rewind.

"You may have gotten this on film?" Dylan asked, pressing further.

"Yeah." Devin said, nodding.

"Why didn't you mention that before?" Devin shrugged.

"I didn't think about it." He stated, and pressed play, as the three FBI Agents crowded around, and after a few minutes of viewing it they exchanged the same looks.

"We have to show this to Trini, we have our man and his vehicle."
