When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone. Tennessee Williams


Morgan got to The BAU bullpen just in time to see the team walking out of the conference room. He started toward the team then saw agent Hotchner emerge from the pack and head toward him. He knew he was in deep.

"Hotch I' m -" Morgan started but the senior agent was not excepting excuses.

"Wheels up in thirty I will brief you on the plane and this is never to happen again. Understood" Hotch said in an even monotone voice with no indication of anger or any feeling for any that matter.

"Yes sir" Morgan replied holding back the anger that was welling up inside of him.

"How is she?" Hotch asked surprising Morgan.

"She's fine still a bit shook up but I'm sure shell be back in no time."

"Good… We need your head in the game is this going to be a problem."

"No Sir." Morgan began to walk away

"Morgan maybe you should leave Clooney with her. Just a thought." Hotchner walked towards his office not giving Morgan a chance to respond let along process.


The ride to Opelousas was less than great. He looked at the case as the plane trembled. Three women blood hair green eyes had been abducted tortured, dismembered and dumped like morning trash. The first victim age 25 Marissa Wesley was married, a consultant with one daughter visiting Baton Rouge from Alexandria on business she went missing at a gas station.

Next was Abigail Porter the second victim was 26 yr old local on her way back to LSU never made pass the Opelousas state line.

The latest victim was taken last Monday at a grocery store outside of Lafayette and turned up four days later in a county rode ditch. She was the youngest Emily Dotson.

"Well he's obviously keeping these girls for four day and with the amount of overkill he's a sexual sadist." Prentiss offered.

"All the girls where blonde with greens so this defiantly is his type. They probably resemble a wife, girlfriend ,lover or mother close to them." JJ added.

He leaves them thrown out like garbage hints at his need sadism as well as a signiture. Gideon chimed in.

Karpman proposed that, in the sadist, "the will to power is sexually accentuated" and that "he revels in the fear, anger and the

humiliation of the victim." Hence, pain is not that important in and of itself

but because it symbolizes power and control. " Reid spouted out.

"One thing is for sure he's had practice and he's hunting again." Agent Hotchner said closing the case file.


It was just another day for Cheyenne Cladding she was traveling into Baton Rouge to meet her friends for ladies weekend. She had been on the road for an hour and half before she decide she couldn't wait anymore and stopped at a local rest stop off the interstate. Her blonde locks danced in the wind as she step out of her car surveying the area she threw her shades back in the car before she went toward the ladies room. She came out 3 minutes later and head toward her car she didn't even pay attention to the camper parked right next to her.

JJ greeted the Opelousas Police Chief Larry Callier Sr. as they entered the department introductions where made and Hotchner gave out assignments.

"JJ and Reid stay here and start on the geographical profile."

"Emily and I will speak with the victims family."

"Morgan, Gideon go to the last dump site."

Everyone disbanded getting in different black SUV's. Morgan drove the black Denali while Gideon rode in front and the native cop gave directions. He couldn't focus. He almost passed up two turns. His mind was on his Baby Girl. He hadn't had a chance to call her at all since they landed.

Upon arrival to the crime taped scene Gideon and the officer got out and started looking around while Morgan hung back to make a call. Gideon didn't question who he was calling he knew. Morgan had arrived late to the bullpen in the same pants just a different shirt from the other day.

"Hello you've reached your unlikely goddess how can I help you?" Garcia answered

You don't have to do anything Baby Girl just hearing your voice makes me smile." Morgan's heart warmed.

"Are you checking up on me when you should be working Mr. Morgan." she teased.

"One should always check up on their beautiful wife when away at work. Are you lonely?" Morgan retorted smiling into the phone.

"I-I-I'll let it slide this time mister." Garcia choked out surprised at the implication of the statement.

" I'm fine and…I do miss you. The doctor says I should be able to return to work next case." she add quickly feeling awkward at the need she felt to tell him she missed him.

"Are your sure your ready for that Baby Girl, if its about being there alone you can stay at my place I'm sure Clooney will love you."

"I'm fine. Now go to work my sexy milk chocolate Hershey bar."

"I love you and I'll give you a call later sweet lady."

"Me too.. Ill be waiting." she hung up holding the phone to her chest as she looked around her empty place.

Morgan smiled a little discourage because she didn't say the actual words I love you but he had no time to think about that Gideon was calling him over. He face didn't look good as he hung up the phone. Another girl was abducted.


The team had regroup in their area at the precinct looking at the board.

"Cheyenne Cladding age 27 was traveling to Baton Rouge and never arrived. Her girlfriends reported her missing when she didn't show up on the second day. Her car was left at a rest stop off the 10 no signs of force." JJ informed the team

"So we have 19hrs to find her before she's disposed of my some sick bastard." Morgan growled. His word brought a warning stare from Hotchner.

Looking at the pictures of the last three victims Gideon spoke up "You need time and space to do this type of damage, so were looking at somewhere remote also he needs something to transport these women in maybe SUV, van or camper .

'These girls are high risk targets there young and athletic so the Un-Sub has to be also." Prentiss noted.

"I triangulated the possible area the un-sub might hunt and found that the he must travel between or in and around Lafayette, and the out skirts of Baton Rouge." Reid offered.

"These killing show a whole lot of anger and control but none in the dumping suggest that maybe the stressor is a partner leaving." JJ spoke.

"Kevin crossed referenced all their credit cards and GPS information and came up with nothing theses girls have nothing in common other than looks. Hotchner added.

Reid had the eureka look in his eyes.. "We all over looked that these girls were traveling away from Opelousas. It makes sense if the stressor is a love one leaving."

"Good job Reid" JJ gather everyone we're ready to give the profile.


Six hours later they had a suspect Rodney Cooper Caucasian, 5'11 dark hair, medium build. His wife had filed for divorce a month ago and moved our of the city. He owned a late model camper and a farm on the out skirts of Lafayette. The SWAT team busted in his home while the FBI took the barn what they found pierced their souls. It was a slaughterhouse and on the table was Cheyenne bloody from thousands of smile cuts across her body, burn marks across her lower abdomen, bruised as thought she a took one hell of a beating and barely breathing while Cooper stood with a butchers knife ready to chop off her fingers. Hotchner looked and knew the only way to stop him was to shoot him.

As they rode the plane back to Quantico Prentiss and Hotchner were sleep at the front while JJ and Reid played cards. Gideon was reading a book.

Morgan picked up the phone and made a call.

"Hey stud muffin." Garcia answered happy to hear Derek's voice after watching the news about the shooting.

"Hey Baby Girl we're on our way back. I should be their in an hour." Morgan said trying to monitor what he said just in case one of his team members was listing.

"Oh…" Garcia said panicking she hadn't finished packing her suitcase.

"Derek….maybe we can talk while walking Clooney" Garcia said shyly.

"See you soon." Garcia added hanging up before the Derek could reply.

Gideon came and set across from the agent and look at him as though he was expecting the younger of the two to spill his guts.

"How Garcia doing?" he asked casually.

"Fine. I just thought I would-"

"You don't have to apologize to me for checking upon a team member." He interrupted him.

"Its perfectly normal."

Morgan's eyebrows went up and he nodded.

Gideon sighed "Maybe she needs to get out of that house and am sure Clooney wouldn't mind a new face."

Morgan's face displayed a shocked looked as Gideon rose up and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Anytime your not focused its about something you care about very deeply."

Gideon went and set buy the young doctor to watch how JJ was apparently winning at cards.
