The full moon of that night gave way to the sun and the agents filed into the bullpen one by one. Myles and Tara arrived earliest. Then Jack arrived at the same time as D and Bobby. And finally Sue walked in with Levi and Lucy. Before anyone even had the chance to settle down properly, Ted Garrett walked in with a case file in his hand.

"Listen up everyone, we got a new case. A woman was killed last night in a park not far from the morgue downtown, SOG are on stand by, waiting to go over the crime scene. Jack, you're in charge of this case, I want you to brief everyone then meet with SOG."

"Yes, sir."

Ted handed the case file to Jack and walked out of the room, leaving Jack to review the case before he could brief the rest of the team.

Sue, along with the rest of the team, watched Jack intently until he was ready to fill them in. Finally, after fifteen minutes or so scrutinising the file, Jack asked Tara to upload some photos on the projector.

"Okay, guys, what we have here is a woman by the name of Sarah Timmons. Age 29, worked as a forensic pathologist. Two joggers discovered her body, in a park across from Quantico morgue where she worked, early this morning..."

He paused to let everyone take a look at her battered body. She lay flat on her back, her hair tousled and covered in dead leaves. Her arms were straight out beside her and her legs straight, and through her heart a silver dagger protruded. They stared at the photo, shocked, for quite a while until, finally Sue spoke,

"Tara, could you zoom in on the dagger please?"

Jack looked at her, puzzled but said nothing.

" A little more... Damn, it's too small; I can't read it."

She had noticed the slip of pink paper; almost identical in colour to the shirt Sarah was wearing. But in the scale of the photo, the writing was virtually impossible to read.

"Okay, Tara, I want you and Lucy to find out anything you can about Sarah, see if we can contact family and friends ... D, Bobby, Myles - go talk to our first witnesses. Sue, call SOG, you and I will meet them at the crime scene."

Almost before Jack was finished giving out orders, the rest of the team had begun to follow them. Sue went to get her coat, then followed Jack to his car with Levi in tow.
