Chapter 5

Elle ran her fingers through her chestnut hair as she perched on Kate's desk. The rest of the BAU and NCIS teams gathered around the flat screen in the bull pen.

Tony discreetly sidled up to Elle, who glanced at Kate and rolled her eyes. "So…" Tony started, until he saw Gibbs' glare out of the corner of his eye. "Got a profile yet?" Tony asked as he cleared his throat.

Morgan pressed a button on the remote he held in his right hand. Pictures of the five dead petty officers popped up on the big screen. "This is not necessarily a target on the military itself."

"Why is that?" Gibbs asked.

"If it were, he'd be attacking women in power, not low-level enlisted personnel."

"What we're looking for," Hotch interjected, "is a male, thirty to forty years old. He's from the area, is familiar with the Scotts Run area, probably a hiker or jogger."

"He kills for a sexual release," Reid stated, "much like Bundy or Son of Sam. But, unlike them, he's perfectly lucid."

"He's driven by a need to kill," Gideon said, turning his head to face Gibbs. "And he knew his victims."

"How do you know that?" Tony asked.

"The manner of their deaths," Morgan replied. "Blunt force trauma is a very personal way to die, much like strangulation or drowning. The unsub can feel and see the victim's life fading away, although it's a less sure way of killing someone."

"We're looking for a guy that isn't really all that confident in himself," Elle said, moving to stand beside Kate, who nodded her concurrence. "He doesn't have the confidence to work his way into these women's pants. He's smart, meticulous, almost obsessive, but he has zero confidence."

"And he seems to have a preference for brunettes," Tony said, grinning at Kate and Elle. Kate narrowed her eyes at him.

"So where does that leave us?" Kate said. "We still have five dead sailors and a psycho who's gonna kill in five days."

Abby dashed up to the agents, holding out a file. "Go ahead, Gibbs. Say you love me."

"Let me see what you have and we'll talk," Gibbs said, grabbing the file from her hand.

"I ran the carpet fibers through the database."

"They have a database on carpet fibers?" Morgan asked.

"The government has databases on almost everything these days, from electronics to car mats. Each product is specially designed to a manufacturer," Reid replied.

"God, you really are a genius aren't you?" Tony said. Reid smiled slightly at him.

"So what's did it say, Abby?" Kate asked.

"It's basically your run-of-the-mill carpet supply store," Abby said, her grin getting wider.

Gibbs stared at her. "So?"

"This run-of-the-mill supply store happens to supply all of the military housing in the area. This particular brand was ordered by the GMH military housing in Silver Spring, Maryland."

"That's not far from D.C," Reid said, glancing at Gideon.

"So what are we waiting for?" Gibbs said, pushing past them.

"I wouldn't do that, Gibbs."

Tony grimaced. "Not a good idea," he whispered to Elle.

Gibbs turned to stare at Gideon. "What did you say?"

"You go barging in there with agents and lights and tape, it could scare him off," Hotch said.

"In case you haven't noticed, Agent Hotchner, he's killing petty officers and he's gonna kill again in five days."

"I know, but if you scare him off he'll go right back to killing again somewhere else. It's a compulsion for him. He can't stop it," Morgan interjected, stepping in between Gibbs and Gideon.

"We need to catch him in his element, doing what he does best," Gideon said. There was a tense silence as the two agents stared at each other.

"You have to trust us, Gibbs," Hotch said, breaking the silence.

Gibbs sighed. "What do you have in mind?"

Gideon glanced at Elle and Kate. "He has a penchant for brunettes."
