The briefing on the plane was short but very informative. The local PD had three victims on the matter of three weeks. The unsub was escalating quickly. There was barely a cooling down period. The girls went missing on Sunday and their bodies surfaced on Friday of the same week.

"Okay Garcia what do you have?" My brother asked Garcia who was on the screen. Everyone had tablet expect for myself and Reid. We had hardcopies of the files. I was looking through the pictures as Garcia was talking.

"Victim 1: Katy Smith, Victim 2: Aubrey Magenta and Victim 3: Madeline Snow. All three girls were in marching band, and seemed like they were best friends."

"What do you mean seemed?" Rossi asked.

"Well they did everything together. Marching band, a bunch of classes together and hung out all the time according to all the stuff in the schools newspaper. I can't find one bad thing about the trio." We heard clicking on a keyboard and then a beeping. "That's all I got. Sorry guys."

"Thanks Mama" Morgan said.

"Forever and always my loves. Garcia out." With that she clicked the screen off. I was looking at the medical examiners reports for all three. Everyone was looking at their reports. Aaron spoke first.

"Well we have a highly active unsub with no known type and a very odd signature. He leaves them posed with an "HF" carved in the ground next to them and on their backsides. "

"The unsub seems confident. Taking a victim each week. He's probably a narcissist." JJ said. I was looking at the pictures when I noticed something.

"He does have a type." I said and Aaron smiled and nodded so I continued, "Well from just looking at the pictures, we can see that the victims all had different hair color. But if you look at Magenta and Snow's hair roots, they are originally brunettes. They dyed their hair red and blond, I can't tell how long ago they dyed their hair from a picture but the unsub would have to know that they are natural brunettes because girls learn to hide their roots pretty quickly." I spewed out and everyone looked at their pictures and then nodded.

"Okay good, Rossi and JJ you talk to the families, Morgan and Reid you go to the crime scenes and myself and Robyn will head to the police station to set up. We land in forty minutes, I suggest you all rest because we are going to hit the ground running with this." I stayed where I was and everyone else got up. Aaron sat across from me.

"Good eye on catching the hair color. I didn't notice it." He said as he pulled out his laptop.

"Thanks." I yawned.

"We'll talk later, rest, you look like you haven't slept in months." He didn't know the half of it. I nodded and sunk into the seat a little bit. I set my mental clock for 35 minutes and counted backwards from five and when I hit one I was out.


I woke up 35 minutes later and everyone else was also slowly getting up. I grabbed my backpack and stuck my file in it. I had read it already during the briefing. The plane landed and everyone got in the SUV's and went where Aaron told them to. I got in the passenger side of one and waited for Aaron. He was talking to someone on the phone when he started driving. He hung up and looked at me and then the road.

"Who was that?" I asked him.

"The ME's office, we are heading over there first before heading to the police station. He said we needed to see something." I nodded a little.

"Thank you." I mumbled out.

"For what?"

"Giving me a chance."

"I can't not give you a chance. You worked at Langely for seven years, I'm pretty sure you are quailifed for this job." I smiled at him.

"How's Jack?"

"He's good, he's in 4th grade now. He'll be so happy to see you when we get back. He hasn't seen you since Easter last year."

"I'm excited to see him too. I have a surprise for him. It was going to be a birthday present but I didn't have a chance to send it. I got very busy with work." My brother nodded and we pulled into the Suffolk County ME office. We showed the serciuty detail our credinatinals, his from the FBI, mine still from the CIA because I hadn't had a chance to get the new ones. He nodded and brought us to the mourge.

On the tables were three victims, covered from the neck down with a white cloth.

"The reports that we faxed to you were just the prelimary ones. I already finished Smith's autopsy and found something odd." The ME said.

"What do you mean by odd?" I asked as Aaron looked at the final report.

"Well it might not be odd to you people but it was odd to me. I found a plastic baggy with some newspaper articles in her stomach. That's not the odd part, that's where they were." My brother picked up where the ME left off.

"The Unsub cut open her abdomin and then stomach and stuffed the baggy in and the sewed it shut after he already killed her. Can you check the other victims for this?"

"Of course, I will have someone bring them to the police station if I find anything." I saw my brother nod and he was handed the evidence bag and we left.


At the latest crime scene:

Morgan and Reid were looking at the dump site. The site was exposed. It was on school property, on the football field. Football had practice there as did the track team.

"Why dump a body here?" Morgan asked Reid.

"Well there could be mulitple reasons. The unsub might find the football field symbolic. Either for the marching band aspect of the field or for the football aspect. Or something happened to the Unsub that caused a hatered for the field." Reid was looking around.

"Well there isn't anything else for us to see here, we should head back to the police station." Morgan said and started to walk about the parking lot. "Hey Reid?"

"What Morgan?" the genius started to follow his counter-part.

"What do you think of Hotch's sister? Man, I didn't even know he had a sister. A twenty-seven year old one that has worked for the CIA? Insane."

"She seems nice. It's going to be weird working with two Hotchners considering she seems like she is just as stubborn as Hotch is. Also I don't think anyone knew that he had a sister. He barely talks about his brother. And about her working for the CIA I was 24 when I started with the team." Reid stated and then finished sounding a little defensive.

"Do I hear a hint of jealously, my friend?" Morgan said teasingly.

"What? N-no of c-course not!"

"I'm just playing Reid. We should hustle a little. Hotch squared, Rossi and JJ are probaly back at the station."

"Hotch squared? I don't get it..." Reid said, as he got in the passager side. Morgan started laughing and refused to explain it. The duo got back to the police station and Reid looked extremely annoyed.

"What did you to Reid?" JJ asked as Reid sat down and started on the geographicaly profile.

"I made a math joke and he didn't get it."

"A math joke!? What was it?"

"I said that we should get back to the station ASAP because Hotch squared would be there."

"I get it because there are two Hotchners, it's Hotch squared."

"Yup and Pretty Boy didn't get it." JJ and Morgan started to laugh as both Hotchners came in looking equally serious. The remainder of the team followed them to the briefing room that they were using.
