Finally another update! I'll try to update when I can, I have a lot of stuff to do during the week, so I can't promise anything soon. That and I like for an idea to set in before I jump at it. Thank you for all of the comments on the last chapter, and I will try to use the critiques to become a better writer. As for one of the questions that popped up, yes, Reid is reflecting on what's going on only so you can tell it's not OC, he's sort of explaining his behavior to make it seem more realistic, and I just seem to write in that way all the time.

Please enjoy this next chapter! I do not own Criminal Minds… But I have the DVDs!

I stared at the picture in horror. I should have been used to this by now, I had seen many pictures like this one when Gideon had been lecturing at my school, as well as in some of the case files I was typing up and organizing. But this one was different... the killer, whoever was capable of doing something like this, he or she was still out there.

And by the next two pictures, it proved they could kill again.

"The first victim was found dumped in the woods in a park reserve, and the other two were found closer to the town, but still far enough that no one who wasn't looking for them could find them."

The people in the room quickly digested this information, before Hotch interrupted, "Then how were the bodies found?"

I was surprised by his interruption, but realized that this must be normal, since no one else seemed to notice. So instead, I listened intently to J.J.'s explanation. "Park ranger, he stumbled upon the oldest, and when the police arrived they located the other two."

"How long had the victims been missing?" It was Gideon's turn to ask a question.

"Each body is only one week apart from the next. The first one went missing about a month ago."

That's all Gideon needed to hear. "And for all we know, he's got a new victim and is about to kill again." J.J. nodded, and Gideon then continued, "Alright, looks like we've got a case. We better get headed to New Jersey."

Then Morgan suddenly piped up, "But how are we sure that the guy's going to kill again? Maybe he was finished after the third victim."

This time, to everyone's surprise, it was me who responded. "Judging by the look of the second two in comparison to the first victim, the burn marks are exactly the same down the arms and legs. The killer has planned out what he wants to do with his victims, but may not even realize he's killing different people and just living out some fantasy. That and the fact that they are getting dumped closer to the town begins to make me think that our killer is on a mission and getting more and more bold. That being said, since the chance of someone murdering again is nearly 90% under almost any circumstance, yes, there is a pretty good chance they're going to kill again."

Morgan and J.J. seemed a bit taken aback, but Hotch and Gideon acted as if they heard me spurt out information on high speed every day. Well, Gideon did at least. Instead he said, "Couldn't have said it better myself, Dr. Reid."

A small smile played on Morgan's face and I had to wonder if he was about to make some stupid remark to me. But instead, he said, "Ok kid, don't blow a gasket, you've convinced me."

Gideon clapped his hands together in an almost eager gesture, but his eyes looked tired and somber. "Alright then team, get what you need and we'll meet up at the jet."

I walked rather briskly to my desk, thankful for once that I had over packed. Anything else I would need would be at a hotel, and I had already packed a go-bag due to Gideon's warning of sudden cases. I emptied my satchel out and put in only some necessities, and I will admit I added a bit more to that too… but you can never be too prepared. It seemed to take only seconds for us to all meet on the jet together.

I don't think I've ever been inside a nicer looking plane, and I hadn't expected it to look like much to begin with. But our private jet had couch-like seats and even tables, giving the area a warm and room-like appearance. Morgan settled in one corner and popped headphones into his ears while flipping through some of the case files, Gideon and Hotch sat opposite at a table, quietly discussing their opinions, and I took out a file quite like Morgan's and began to read through the information as I sat down in another open chair close to Gideon's. I was so absorbed in the text and photographs that I didn't hear Hotch when he addressed me. I looked up, somewhat embarrassed, and asked, "Huh?"

"Gideon and I were starting to profile our UnSub, and we want everyone to hear it so far." I noticed that J.J. was paying attention to the two older men and Morgan had taken out his headphones and was staring intently at Hotch.

"But if we haven't even gotten to New Jersey yet, how can we even know how to start profiling?" I asked, confused.

"The best profiles are the ones we get before we become too familiar with the area." Gideon replied. Then he continued, "So far we believe that our killer has to be a very strong, well-built Caucasian male in his late thirties. There are no signs of struggle, so we suspect that he may know the men he's killed, or at least has a friendly air about him that makes people automatically trust him."

Morgan nodded at this, and then added, "He also seems to be very fond of torturing the victims, which makes it seem as though each kill is considered personal."

"So he has something against cops…?" I questioned out loud, mostly to myself. "Maybe some kind of incident made him hateful towards police officers."

"Could be our stressor." Hotch agreed.

"That's good so far, we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves." Gideon said, and looked out his window. "We'll land soon; I want us to hit the ground running on this one. If the public finds out too much information about these killings, we're going to be in for a tough ride. Police officer murders are never fun."

"No murders are ever fun." Morgan put in solemnly. We all agreed to that, and sat for a moment in silence, before Morgan put his headphones back into his ears. I went back to the files, and was just getting absorbed in them until I heard a small whisper from Hotch.

"You think he'll be OK Jason?" Hotch asked quietly, probably thinking I couldn't hear him. "He DID just join today."

I didn't hear Gideon's reply, he seemed to be a better whisperer than Hotch. But I didn't really need to. I felt let down by Hotch's comment, I was hoping at least one other member of the team thought I was ready for this.

'Well,' I just thought hopefully to myself, 'I guess I'm going to just have to prove them wrong.'

Sorry if this was a bit boring, but we have to develop the murder's character too ;)
Hope you like this update, thanks for sticking with my story!
