WASHINGTON, D.C

NATIONAL SECURITY HEADQUARTER, 5 A.M

The moment Oliver signed I have been called. The witch has eyes everywhere; Bruce thought angrily and entered into the room. "Bruce Wayne! So nice of you to come here on the first call. I was not expecting such a quick response", the charismatic woman sitting on the chair welcomed him with a smirk.

"Selina! It is not my fault that you always think so less of me. Can I ask what the emergency is? I had a rather busy schedule", Bruce answered with a cocky attitude.

"Patience my dear, you will understand in a moment", she answered with a smile and pressed the button on the phone. "Send Mrs. Queen in".

In an instant, the Bruce became angry. "Stay out of it Selina. She has nothing to do with you. Putting her on the squad is my decision. You don't need to get involved".

Selina laughed loudly and then suddenly become serious. "When you decided to potentially endanger the lives of my agents by putting a psychopath in squad, it becomes my matter. Do you have any idea what you are doing Bruce? I never expected such an irresponsible decision from you".

"She is not a psychopath", Dinah Queen said while entering in the room and shut the door with a loud bang behind her. "And you should better watch your mouth before spitting anything about my daughter", She warned Selina with a glare.

"Ahh…hello to you too Dinah and by the way your adoptive daughter not your daughter", Selina got up from the seat to match up with the glaring competition going on in the room and focused her glare on Dinah, "should I have to remind you Dinah that we are on the same page here".

Dinah sighed and spoke after a moment, "I hate to agree with her Bruce but I am also against your decision of putting her out in the field. In my opinion, she does not need to be out there. It will do more harm than good to her".

Bruce looked surprised at the Dinah's words but hide it quite well. "It will do far more good for other people's lives that she is going to save if given chance. This is bigger than her. I am surprised Dinah. I thought you had more faith in her than that", he said dejectedly.

"You don't understand Bruce. I only care for her. I don't know why you are suddenly so interested in her but you should know that you are putting her in grave danger by doing that and as her mother I can't agree to that", Dinah answered quickly angered by the accusation.

"She suffered some child hood trauma, had some after effects and overcomes it. I don't understand the problem here. Post traumatic effects are natural after trauma. You can't blame an eight year old kid for having those", Bruce turned towards Selina and strike on the desk hard. "She has passed the psych evaluations ten years ago and has yet to show any instability to prove me wrong. You should better have a good reason to dismiss her or else I will take that as a move against my agency".

"Having schizophrenia and insomnia are considered instability in my dictionary", Selina replied at an equal pitch to Bruce.

"Having a history of schizophrenia and insomnia are not considered instability in my dictionary", Bruce answered instantly.

"Both of you stop talking about her like an object. You called for my opinion Selina and I gave it to you. Of course the decision will be yours Bruce but both of you should be aware of the effects it will have on her", Dinah cut off Bruce in mid-sentence and said, "Artemis has a history of schizophrenia. You may have convinced Oliver that she is ready to face her daemons but I am not sure Bruce. I treated her…and I used hypnosis and electroshock therapy as her treatment. I suppressed her memories about the incident and make sure that she never tries to remember what happened that night".

"What do you mean Dinah? She clearly knows about the reaper and her mother. I saw her interview four years ago", Bruce asked surprised by the new information.

Dinah sighed. "She only knows what we told her. She probably doesn't even remember most of it. Bruce…you remember how you find her? I treated her wounds that night. She was stabbed 52 times and it was a miracle she survived. When she woke up from an induced comma all she ever did was either to scream or cry for her mother. Only took her two months to become stage three schizophrenic. I had to help her ….so I make her forget that night. With her eidetic memory … Hypnosis seems to be the only solution for her recovery. If you put her out there, she might remember all of it. Seeing the victims could bring all her memories back. That's a chance I can't take and you shouldn't too. Bruce we never told her about her mother".

"What's there to tell about? She was killed by the reaper", Bruce was having hard time digesting the given information but he asked anyway.

"That's the thing Bruce… she is alive, she didn't die. She has been in comma for last sixteen years. She is in protective custody of CRIG. She couldn't know that Bruce…it will only lead to her devastation", Dinah almost begged to Bruce. "Please keep her out of all this. She is finally in control of her life, don't destroy it for her. That's all I have to say. Whatever your decision is …just know that you are going to play with her life so, choose wisely"

Bruce was taken aback by the whole confession but decides to stay put with his decision. "Whatever it is it is in the past. She is more than capable of dealing with everything. Her reports and profiles she did for the CRIG are enough proof for that. We already are low on profilers and I need her out there. She is fully qualified for the job and that's final. I am not backing out. Oliver has already agreed to that and you should too".

Dinah got up from her seat and stood right in front of Bruce. "Normally I wouldn't even suspect your capability but tell me what you think one of her strongest drive is?"

"Empathy", Bruce answered thoughtfully.

"Wrong. Her drive is empathy but it is also partially coupled with fear and her fear is masked by our lies but with every imagination it comes off. It is the price of imagination she has to pay and it could either make her a better person or it could destroy her".

" Dinah! I wouldn't put her out there if I didn't think I could back her up". Dinah folded her hands in front of her and raised an eyebrow at his response. "Alright! If I didn't think I could back her up 80%"

Dinah sighed and waited for few moments. "Promise me something Bruce! …you wouldn't let her get too close". Bruce hesitated but nodded. "I will hold on to that… I had somewhere to be. if you will excuse me", Dinah said looking defeated by the whole conversation and left the room.

"And here left my only hope that I could bring some sense into you. What you are doing is risky and I don't like taking risks", Selina said after a while.

"I understand the reasons for Dinah being concerned but I still don't understand yours. What possible advantage you are going to get with all this. It's a win-win situation for you. Most of our profilers 67% to be exact always gave wrong profiles. We are down in numbers in case of profilers. Having her on the field is plus one for you. Why the resistance?", Bruce asked angrily.

"Her past is the typical serial killer diary. Every profiler faces the probability of becoming serial killer, her chances are sky high. You want me to take that chance with the girl having an IQ of 187 and eidetic memory. She can outsmart us any day. I don't want to have a blood bath here in the F.B.I by providing her the firsthand experience for how to do that. Trust me Copycat killer is enough for me ", Selina said nearly agitated by his response.

"I am taking full responsibility for her. you don't need to be worry about it", Bruce got up to leave the office and added with a smirk, "and for your information she can also read 20,000 words per minute"

Selina sighed and shook her head. "I knew it will come to that… so, I already has built an insurance policy", Selina said with the smirk. "Mr. Kaldur is going to be your unit chief. He has already been briefed about the problem and he will keep us well informed by giving us an assessment report on her after every mission and this is not up for debate. If you want the permission from higher authorities this is the only deal you gonna get from us. Otherwise there will be no more squad". Bruce glared hard at Selina but none of them back down.

WASHINGTON D.C

THE B.A.U, HQ, 7:00 A.M

"Please have some mercy on him. He spent most of his night decorating this room and now you are doing this...", Zatanna asked while helping Richard placing the big picture on the wall. They both were standing on the chairs in Wally's room and were carefully replacing Wally's family photo with one of his high school picture. In the picture Wally was wearing the lighting bolted shorts with the biggest geeky smile on his face and was posing for some chick on the beach.

"Mercy. Come on it's my job to make his life miserable", Richard provided an answer with the cheeky smile. Before the two of them could properly place the picture on the wall, elevator ring resonated in the HQ. They both panicked at the same time. "Shit, how could he be here so early?", Richard said while trying to balance the picture with one hand and trying to close the door with the other.

"what if it's Bruce…..Yikes…", Zatanna said while dropping the picture then catching it mid-air again but this cause both of them to lose balance and they fell to the floor with the framed picture on top of them.

" Seriously Short cake; Bowing to someone as greetings is considered one of the traditional welcoming but I am pretty sure lying on the ground and presenting them picture of half-naked people ….is not", Artemis said with a smirk on her face.

"Linda", he become surprised to see her there but groaned loudly as he remembered her comment. "Come on… I am 6'5 so don't call me short cake miss".

" Whatever you say… short cake…Need a hand", she said while smiling.

SCENE BREAK SCENE BREAK

Bruce was sitting in his office with a frown on his face. The number of cases he had received by the government for the agency was overwhelming and he was having hard time to prioritize which case should squad follows first. The knock on the door disturbed his concentration. An instant smile found its way to his face as he sees Artemis standing on the door. "Come on in… Miss Queen…I have been waiting for you" he got up from his seat and greeted her. "Have a seat", Bruce offered after shaking hands with her.

"Mr. Wayne…thank you for giving me this opportunity but there are few things we need to discuss before that", Artemis said skeptically but confidently met his eyes. They both sat down on their respective chairs.

"Your past Miss Queen is irrelevant for this job and team. Whether you inform the team about it or not…it's entirely up to you and as far as your psych evaluations are concerned, I will personally conducting those after every month. But I assure you it will be nothing more than just a formality", Bruce reassured her. He opened the drawer of his desk and brought out the gun, its holster and the badge and placed it in front of her. "If your queries are answered and you are satisfied. Accept it as an initiation gift".

Artemis smiled but only picked up the badge from the desk. "Sorry can't accept the gun right now"

Bruce seemed surprised by her answer, "Can I ask why because I have been told you have excellent marksman ship skills"

"Yeah having a sister as a long range shooter surely helps but Dinah thinks I should take things slow besides I am also not eager to experience the power to take someone's life in my hands…. not yet anyway", Artemis replied hoping he will just leave it at that.

Bruce sighed but didn't push further. "Well if that's the case…. welcome to the team", he offered her an honest smile but added after a moment, "and Artemis… watch your back".

SCENE BREAKSCENE BREAK

"Where the hell is Wally?", Zatanna whispered to Richard. Bruce has called them to be in the conference room five minutes ago and right now they all were waiting for Wally to show up. "Our first mission and already we are a man down. Bruce is going to kill me for…".

"Hey relax will you. He is going to be here any minute now", Richard said to sooth her nervousness. "Where did Rapunzel go?"

"Rapunzel…is she your…girlfriend….or ex?" Zatanna asked with hesitance. As much as she like having another girl on the team, the idea of having that girl close to Richard was not really sitting well with her and she was feeling pretty unsecure the moment Linda walked in the office.

"What?...", Richard answered abruptly, "Linda is more like a friend …if you can say that about a person who occasionally visits you only in summer vacations for some time". Richard was flushed by Zatanna's comment but internally congratulated himself for becoming the person of interest to her. "Why… Are you jealous?".

"No.. I …it's just that you two look cozy out there So I asked", Zatanna wasn't expecting the direct confrontation from him but managed anyway. "OH…She is in the Bruce's office. He called for her…he". Zatanna blurted out but was cut off by Richard.

"Kaldur…What on earth are you doing here?", Richard said excitedly upon seeing his former unit member entering in the HQ.

"You would be surprised to hear the answer to that; my friend", Kaldur said with a kind smile.

THE B.A.U, HQ 8:00 A.M

"Richard where is Wally?" Bruce was seething with anger at the present moment. They all were sitting on the comfortable chairs in the conference room around the central computer. Artemis and Zatanna were sitting on the one side while Richard, Kaldur were sitting on the other side with Bruce standing right on the center.

"By wally I am guessing …he is the sexy abs guy with whom pornography you ambushed me earlier", Artemis whispered to Zatanna causing her to spit out the coffee she was drinking. "Sorry", she excused as everyone was looking at her like she has grown a pair of head. She glared at Artemis who replied her with a mischievous expression and mouthed sorry.

"He is on his way. Got stuck in traffic", Richard answered to cover for Wally.

When everyone got busy again, Zatanna whispered to Artemis, "Only saw a picture and already calling him sexy… girl your hormones are way too active". It was Artemis turn to control her laughter. "Sorry can't resist hot people. I have a thing for them", Artemis whispered back.

Right on cue, Wally came running down with a coffee in one hand and files on the other straight from the elevator towards the center table. "Sorry guys… I am late…IIIIiiiii….OOOuuuucccchhh…..!", he tried to justify himself but at the first step of stairs he tripped over his shoe, causing him to stumble rest of the 7 steps down with his coffee cup and files trailing behind him. For the worst of his luck, he ended right in front of Artemis.

"Smooth… and BTW it's not nice to keep the ladies waiting", Artemis said with a smirk gesturing towards her and Zatanna and then turned towards Richard, "and you said he is quick on his feet".

Wally suddenly felt more embarrassed than before. The fact that he is just being insulted by an unknown hot girl standing in front of everyone was like a kick to his manliness so he was up In matter of seconds. "Who is this?", Wally said agitatedly.

"Artemis your new team member", Artemis declared while adjusting her glasses and frowned. The thought that she has been objectified not settling well with her.

"Wally west, never heard of you", He said sarcastically.

"I am your chief profiler", Artemis suddenly felt the need of justifying herself.

"What….But where is Roy?", Wally said dejectedly.

"Who said anything about Roy joining the team?", Bruce intervened sensing the hostility building up between the two.

"Come on…man….are you serious? You said you are only inducting the best in the squad then how come Roy isn't here?", Wally asked becoming more angry by the moment.

"Who is best for the team, I decide it. You don't need to worry about that. Now settle down West", Bruce said sternly.

"Actually, Wally is right. How come you left the best profiler of CRIG and handpicked someone because of your personal interests. I heard she doesn't even have an experience in the field yet. In addition to that, her name isn't even in the official profiler's list. Leaving Roy Hardly seems fair to me", Kaldur said while sending an accusing glare towards Bruce.

"Enough", Bruce roared with authority, "Artemis is your chief profiler and that is it. I don't want to hear a single word about it". Every one becomes silent after Bruce outburst. When he became satisfied by the reaction he got, he continued. "We had a case and Seattle P.D is waiting for us. Unless you want to play with someone's life because of your stupid reservations, I suggest you get on board quickly. They are expecting a preliminary profile by the moment you got there. So be quick about it. Your jet is ready feel free to leave anytime. Zatanna will guide you further on the jet".

SCENE BREAKSCENE BREAK

"Wow… a newbie who doesn't even have a field experience is our chief profiler… I feel the luckiest person in the world", Wally said sarcastically making sure that his voice reach to Artemis who was sitting on the last seat of the jet. The jet was a rather comfortable one. It was designed perfectly to match their needs. Its design was of the restaurant's used for privacy and luxury. A set of six seats were up at front having a small table in the middle giving it a look of conference table. After that on one side of plane were three sets of two seats facing each other having a table in the middle while on the other side the seats were adjacent sideways making the bed like sofas along the windowpanes of the plane. Artemis was sitting on the last seat with a coffee in one hand and the case file on the other. Wally and Kaldur were sitting on the seats right in front of the conference table while Zatanna and Richard were sitting on it, going through files.

"Guys come on if we want to solve this case, we will have to work together. It would be better if we share our thoughts with each other rather keeping it in our heads", Richard said while first sending a glare towards Wally and Kaldur and then towards the Artemis. She sighed but also got up from the seat to join them. Just when she was about to sit on the seat, Wally slides into her seat and presented her a cheeky grin.

Artemis frowned and said, "Real mature… Baywatch". Wally becomes confused by her nickname to which Richard provides a quick answer. "Visit your room you will know", Richard said with a wink. Wally looked at Richard skeptically but decided not to ask any further.

"Okay, everyone listen carefully. Here are your coms and vests", Zatanna said handing everyone a small Bluetooth like device and vests, "Think of a com as your cell phone connected to many cells at one time. The moment you press the button each five of us can hear it. But the good part is it operates through the satellite so no phone signal jamming is going to affect it". She turned towards Artemis and said skeptically, "I have received everyone's gun but I am sorry I didn't receive yours. It must be some error in the system I will look it up the moment we will come back", Zatanna reassured Artemis.

"No need… you didn't receive my gun because I already returned it", Artemis said casually while reading the case file.

"oh don't tell me you didn't even pass the firearm Qualification test…must be a bummer but since it's you why I am not surprised", Wally said clearly irritated by the news.

"Excuse me, who do you think you are Mr. Clumsy feet …", Artemis got up from her seat in anger but Richard placed a hand over her shoulder calming her down and Zatanna cut her off.

"Wally…she does have a clearance for weapon. Just leave it at that. I checked it earlier that is why I was asking her on the first place", Zatanna said eyeing Wally with irritation, "Let's just focus on the case you two can murder each other later".

"Yes no matter how unfortunate our circumstances are because of someone, our priority should be working on building the profile", Kaldur said while pointing a glare towards Artemis. Artemis decides to just ignore both of them right now.

"Has anyone gone through the file yet", Richard asked everyone in the jet. Artemis placed down the coffee mug and said, "I did".

Wally let out an unimpressed laugh and said, "hahaha…seriously how many jokes are you gonna made up today. We got this file twenty minutes ago and you are saying you have gone through all 400 pages of it…hey I know you are blond but…".

Artemis was boiling with fury at this moment, she got up from her seat and pulled Wally up from his seat by his collar and said, "listen you arrogant, cocky, loud mouthed twat…I just had enough of you. if I haven't read the file I would have said that I didn't. So, in the name of your pea sized balls I say you lay me off. If you judge me one more time, It will be the end of you and I assure you it will be ugly".

Everyone was too shocked to say something. On the other hand, Wally was in different world. Artemis was leaning so close to his face that he could feel her hot breath on his face. For the first time Wally take a good look of her face and for some odd reason her heart speed up. Her stormy eyes glistening like the moon left its light in them, the rays from the light above her head completely bathed her face, they falls on her milky skin making it glow like the sun, her perfectly evened jaw lined with the beautiful lips so close to him that he could feel his mouth become dry. He focused on her lips and the word ….pea sized ball…caught his attention drawing him back to reality broking whatever weird trance he was in.

In a moment, he jerks her hands off from his collar and replied, "Listen you cheap replacement. You are not my boss so don't tell me what to do. I don't know from which asylum Bruce brought you but here sane people don't go and threaten the balls of other people with wrecked face of theirs…..and please don't ruin my shirt babe, it's quite expensive", Wally said angrily but winked at her in the end.

"Enough! Both of you. Wally she could read 20,000 words per minute. Trust me I have seen her finishing whole library in a month so yeah she might have read the file. Since we don't have enough time let's use it to our advantage and you two lovebirds! if you have nothing to talk about the case shut your mouth and keep your wits to yourself. We have unsub to catch. Try to keep that in mind", Richard said while taking in control of the whole situation after deciding that he has enough of the two of them.

"we are not love birds" they both said at the same time.

"oh wow they are reading each other minds now…so cute", Zatanna added from behind with a smirk

"What?" said Wally. "The heck.,. Smarty pants" said Artemis after two seconds.

Zatanna happily clapped her hands and plastered a fake smile on her life and said, "ahh… you are completing each other sentence….how romantic. You are allowed to go to honey moon now".

Artemis and Wally made disgusted face at that and Richard barely held his laughter. "Sit both of you …now", he asked sternly.

"You sure took after Brucy…shorty", Artemis mumbled to which she got a good glare from Richard. She obliged and sat at the far-most seat from Wally and opened her case file.

"So what do we have?", Kaldur asked in monotone voice.

"Virginia P.D is calling unsub the Seattle strangler. Four victims in four months. He keeps them alive for seven days. He had this modified belt with a homemade lock at the end. Can't tell more with the picture", Artemis said showing them the picture of the third victims with a weird belt around her neck.

Wally opened the page and observed the picture. "He modified the lock. You see that lever kind of thing protruding out of the lock it serve as a crank to allow him to control the rate of suffocation", Wally said referring to the picture.

"To prolong it?", Zatanna asked skeptically.

"No, to enjoy it", Richard answered with a grim face.

"Seattle hit the wall?", Kaldur asked concernedly.

"Physical evidence is non-existent. There are no tangible lead….and another girl is missing", Richard answered shaking his head.

"29-years old Sarah Woodland. Before she left for lunch she downloaded an e-mail with a time-delayed virus attached. The killer's virus wiped her hard drive and left this message on the screen, For heaven's sake catch me before I kill again. I can't control myself", Artemis told everyone, "someone has an ego issues".

"he never keeps them alive for seven days that means when we are gonna reach at Seattle we are going to have less than 16 hours to catch this guy", Zatanna deduced concernedly.

"If we have the right profile we will catch him. Let's go over victomology first. His first victim is Melissa Kirsch… Stab wounds…strangulation", Kaldur said while going through files but was cut off by Wally.

"Wait…Wait…Back up", Wally said skeptically, "He stabbed her and then strangle her to finish her off"

"Actually it's the other way around. Strangulation with bare hands isn't as easy one would believe. He tried probably thought it took too long…so he stabbed her and realized that it would be hours of cleaning blood. So on second victim the bastard has a method….a belt", Artemis corrected Wally and gave him a fake smile which he happily returned with a death glare.

"So what that means?", Zatanna asked.

"it means that our killer is learning, perfecting his scenario, becoming a better killer", Artemis explained her Question with grim expression which was mirrored by everyone else in a jet.

SCENE BREAKSCENE BREAK.

UNKNOWN LOCATION.

Sarah was sitting in a cage that was she sure of. Her eyes were covered with layers of duct tape. Her hands were handcuffed and there was a strange belt like device around her neck limiting her mobility in the small cage. The cage was so small that if she lifts her hands up she could actually touch the roof of the cage. She was gaged by the dirty cloth. Her legs were not bound it was the only comfort in this hell hole for her. She intentionally tried to listen to the surrounding for making sure he is gone. She listened very carefully for 20 minutes. When she doesn't hear any sound, she tried to remove the duct tapes covering her eyes.

Unknown to her, a man with the military like built was standing right in front of her taking pleasure in her misery and pain. He smiled a predatory smile and then suddenly frowned when he saw her prying to remove the tape. "What did I tell you about tape?", he boomed at her. he pried open the cage of the door in anger and Sarah screamed in fear but only muffled sounds came out. She cried I am sorry many time but he didn't listen. He bought out the cigar opener and stretched forcefully her hands in front of her. he then moves closer to her ear and said, "maybe this will teach you to listen to me". He placed her finger in the cigar opener and chopped off her nail along with a piece of flesh.

SCENE BREAK SCENE BREAK

ON THE JET

"He is willing to travel with a body", Artemis indicated while seeing the pictures of the last dump site of fourth victim.

"Then he drives a vehicle capable of concealing one", Wally deduced.

"1 in 7.4 drivers in Seattle drives an SUV", Artemis said thoughtfully, "I am guessing explorer with tinted windows. Explorers are rated higher with women"

"Nah.. What about Jeep Cherokee? They are more masculine and we all know how the unsub feels about asserting his masculinity", Wally added with an afterthought and Artemis nodded in agreement.

"Zatanna when did the bureau become involved in the case?", Richard asked Zatanna thinking at another angle.

"After the fourth victim. He dumped her body out of state in the county wasteland. The local police contacted the bureau. They think he did it on purpose", Zatanna elaborated.

"if so, the law of knowledge enforcement does suggest a criminal record", Artemis contributed.

"Or that he watches television", Wally said with the smirk just to irritate her.

"Shouldn't we see the suspect list they send us?", Artemis asked.

"No we never look at the suspect list until we came up with the profile, it keeps our perceptive unbiased. You should know that. It's the first rule in the field", Kaldur advised her with a bitter tone, "and since you are new you would be giving preliminary profile this time". Artemis just nodded ignoring the bitterness and again starts looking at the picture of fourth woman and let out a tired sigh.

SCENE BREAKSCENE BREAK

"Something troubling you?", Zatanna asked worryingly and handed her the coffee. Artemis was again sitting at the end of the plane and was constantly going through pictures again and again. Zatanna decided to join her with a cup of coffee. "Hey… don't worry about them they will come around", Zatanna said gesturing towards Wally and Kaldur.

Artemis gladly accepts another cup of coffee and smiled. "Trust me I would rather have commit suicide than worrying about those douchebags over there", she answered and then sighed again. "Our profile doesn't fit. There are loopholes in it. Few things just don't fit", Artemis asked frustrated by the whole situation.

"Like what?", Zatanna asked worryingly.

"like there are chunks in the evidence that contradicts, firstly he dumped the body in the wasteland that shows he thinks of women as disposable objects But all the victims were properly clothed. That's a sign of remorse. Why take time clothing the body and then dump right in the wasteland….and this….Autopsy report of the last victim indicates adhesive residue which means that he put layer after layer of duct tape over their eyes. He knows he wants to kill them but he still covers their eyes, doesn't want them looking at him apparently but…., Artemis keeps ranting on.

SCENE BREAKSCENE BREAK

"Then he takes the body and dump it right out in the open …Seriously in open, murder weapon nearby. The M.O doesn't match… I mean what is the problem with this guy. Signs of paranoid psychosis but behavior that's not paranoid…. Are you sure we are going in right direction?", Wally said rubbing his neck in discomfort, "did you find anything on Sarah's computer?". He turned towards Richard who was typing furiously on the computer.

"Actually I think I got how unsub interacts with the victims. Sarah was in market for Datsun Z, there are ten web sides she was visiting on daily bases…. There is an immediate relationship get established between the buyer and the seller…a certain level of trust…if I want to coax a young woman into my car", Richard said after some thought.

"I will offer her a test drive", Wally completed the sentence for him, "Cliché".

Kaldur stand up from his seat and announced, "Let's review the profile everyone"

LINE BREAKLINE BREAK

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

F.B.I, NORTHWEST FIELD OFFICE

"This is special agent Mr. West, Mr. Richard, Miss Zatanna and Miss Queen and sfter two year busting my butt in the office I hope you all remember me", Kaldur explained lightly to everyone in the room, getting the good laugh out of them. Profanities huhh… he did groomed well, Richard whispered to Wally. The P.D task force was already waiting for them in the field office. Artemis was feeling nervous to give the profile but was mentally prepared to do so. Kaldur gave her a glance and smirked, "Mr. West will now give the profile. We want you to discard every suspect list you have and look for the person who fits this profile".

Artemis growled in annoyance and folded her hands in front of her while Wally gave her a triumph smirk and took the lead, "The unidentified subject is white in his late 20's. He is someone you wouldn't notice at first. He is someone who would blend into any crowd. The violent nature of his crimes suggests a criminal record…petty crimes maybe auto theft. We have classified him as an organized killer, careful psychopath as opposed to psychotic", Wally explained while moving back and fro, "he follows the news, has good hygiene, he is smart….so smart that the only physical evidence you will find will only be the one what he wants you to find. He is mobile, car is in good condition. Our guess jeep Cherokee with tinted windows. The murders have all involved rapes but rape without penetration is a form of piquerism and that tells us that he's sexually inadequate. History will show the paranoia stemming from childhood trauma or death of a family member and now he feels watched or persecuted", Wally explained with pauses after every sentence.

"Murders give him sense of power and control. Organized killers have fascination with law enforcement. They will inject themselves into the investigation. They will even come forward as witnesses just to see how much the police really know, that makes them feel powerful, in control. Which is why I also think…in fact I know…you had already interviewed him", Wally ended his speech with a smile.

"how dare he, that SOB, he even copied my line from the plane, that arrogant, stupid twat", Artemis whispered to Zatanna who mouthed sorry to her. When Wally turned towards his team, Artemis showed him the finger and whispered, "asshole" to him.

"Take one to know one", he whispered back and settled on standing right behind her.

"Let's go through everyone background you interviewed and catch this guy", Kaldur ended the meeting with an authoritative note.

CHAPTER …END

First of all thank you everyone for liking this story. My family just changes house and my computer got broke in the process. Gonna try to update as soon as possible. I know I make Wally and Kaldur a little bad boy role but it will get better…please like and review.
