Hey guys! Once again, sorry for the wait. This is a shorter chapter, and not very action packed. I am going to try to make the next couple of chapters more exciting.

On another note, wasn't Henry adorable in last week's episode? JJ's the best.

The code had apparently been very easy to crack, considering that it took Garcia less than fifteen minutes to do it. All that the killers had done was type their note into the computer, and use the bookmarks fount to make it encoded. It required almost no technology skills. It said,

I guess that Denver's finest wasn't good enough to stop us on their own. Not that the fancy, high powered FBI will be able to do better, but maybe they could put on a slightly better show than the Detectives on the case. Good luck Aaron."

Hotch came in behind us and read the translated note. He didn't say much just absorbed and thought.

"Let's get the profile ready." He said finally.

We spent almost an hour coming up with the profile, bouncing ideas off of each other. We were almost ready when Garcia called us.

"Yea Garcia?"

"I put the video of the first kidnapping through a program that will give us approximately how tall our Unsubs are."

"That will help narrow our suspect pool down." Said Reid. "Did you run the heights against our original pool of suspects?"

"I'm doing that right now, but it's going to be kind of a wild goose chase. They're all pretty average heights. I'll keep you updated."

"Let's go give the profile."

We walked into the bullpen of the station, where the officers were gathered, waiting for the profile. The quiet roar died down when we entered the room.

Hotch started. "We are looking for a pack of violent, physically fit Unsubs. They target white women in their late teens to early twenties, so they are most likely white men in their early twenties."

Morgan jumped in. "Do not be surprised to find that the leader of the group is older and more experienced. They are extremely organized and they know how to abduct, rape, kill, and dump a body without leaving any evidence behind. An Unsub this organized is almost guaranteed to have other experience. He may be Military or law enforcement."

An officer in the crowd spoke up. "You're saying that the leader is one of us?"

I shook my head. "We aren't saying that at all. We are just saying that it is possible."

"It's more likely that this guy is ex law enforcement. Someone this violent would most likely not have been able to hide his true nature." Morgan continued. "He may have been fired or dishonorably discharged for assault or excessive force charges."

Prentiss pointed to the pictures of on the board. "Kate Jackson fought back, and we think this is probably why she was the first one killed."

"They may have stalked their victims first. The same Unsub that abducted Kate was also the same one that abducted the woman today." I said. "They need four victims at a time, for whatever reason, and it's extremely important to their ritual."

Reid spoke up for the first time. "Usually, when groups write letters to the police, only one person writes. This is a rare exception. The note that was left on Kate's body is a threat, directed at our team, while the note that was left at the last crime scene was written more like a taunt. The first author seems pleased that the FBI has joined the case, while the second author is taunting us. They are two very different personalities, so at least two of our Unsubs are educated."

"They are also going to be a very tight knit group," Added Rossi, "So we probably won't have much luck driving a wedge between them."

"Let's get this profile out to the media. The more the public knows, the more they can be prepared."

Several officers stood up and went back to their desks. A voice stopped us from doing the same.

"Wait, Agent Hotchner!" When he was sure he had our attention, he asked his question. "Aren't the names of your team the same ones that they have painted on their faces?"

Hotch nodded curtly. "Yes. Why?"

The officer shrugged. "Do you know why?"

"Not yet, but it is not going to get in the way of our investigation." He gave a political answer that didn't leave room for any more questions on the topic.

It wasn't even eleven thirty yet, and we already had a body and another abduction. The profile was out, but in the back of my mind I wondered if it was going to be enough to stop them. The question that had been spinning in my mind all day was pressing down on me.

What do they want with us?

What do you think the Unsubs want with Hotch, Prentiss, Morgan, and JJ?
