Note Two

Reid's P.O.V.

"Hello Agent Reid. It's so great to see you. Sorry you've had to put up with my partner for the last little while. But you know how it is with work and all." Stated the man that just walked in.

"Officer Pepper." I stated with a dry mouth. I knew that there was something wrong with him. Though I wouldn't have guessed in a million years that he was the unsub. "Why, are you doing this?" I asked.

"Because, vermin like you, don't deserve to live. Besides, it's not like you have any actual family." He answered as he walked over to the closet.

Suddenly the other voice clicked in my head. Dr. Rice was also in it. Which explained why he hadn't flinched when he was near the last body. Also explained why Officer Pepper didn't so much show any emotions when he saw the body. He had killed the last four victims. Also according to Dr. Rice there were no traces with DNA, on the last four bodies. So either he was lying or there really wasn't.

"How'd you get Dr. Rice to help you?" I asked as the memory of seeing Dr. Rice at the station popped back into my head.

"Easy. The first victim was his step son. Michael had the tendency to go out with his gay friends all the time. At first Dr. Rice thought it was just friends from the basketball team. That is until he saw Michael making out with a 'friend' at home, one day when Dr. Rice came home early."

"And the other three?" I asked buying myself some time.

"Let's see after Michael there was Joshua. He was always getting picked on because he preferred boys over girls. Becca, well that was a true shame. She was such a sweet girl. If she hadn't had the sex change she would still be alive. Well maybe. And the last and finally victim, Josh. Now he was an honest god given gift. I hadn't even been planning on killing him. He wasn't gay, at least not fully. He was still in the closet. Though he wasn't totally against girls either. I'd see him with tons of girls. But well he just showed up at the wrong time."

"So you're not just killing them because their smart." I stated though I meant it more as a question.

"No. I'm killing them because they try to cheat God's will. And they think they're smarter then others. They're vermin just like you." He stated finally turning around from the closet. "Now sit, in the chair." He spat in a dead serious voice.

Hotch's P.O.V.

I as looking at the team trying to figure out what else we could be doing. Most of us were tired and worn out. Myself included. I was about to tell me to pack up from the night when one of the officers came in handing me a note.

Agent Hotchner,

Tick Tock, Tick Tock. Time's wasting.

I flipped the note over three times. As if that would help something else appear on the paper. Or make the words already on it, disappear. But nothing happened. The sentence stayed there. And nothing else appeared.

"Looks like he's taunting us."

I nearly jumped when I heard Rossi speak. I hadn't heard him coming up behind me. I turned to face the older man.

"We have to find Reid." I stated bluntly.

I didn't know what I expected Rossi to say or do. But all I got was a nod and his hand on my shoulder.

"We will." He stated giving my shoulder a tiny squeeze. Then he turned and walked towards the team. "Let's pack it up for the night guys. I think we're all tired, and need some rest. We'll come back in the morning." He stated as he slipped his coat on.

In response to his order, everyone nodded and started to gather their things. I was just staring at my teammates.

"Dave's right. We all need rest." Derek stated from behind me, placing his hand on my shoulder like David did mere seconds ago.

"Let's go." I stated ready to head out when something started to beep.

"Guys…" Garcia said in a fearful voice.

Reid's P.O.V

"Now, I think that should do it." Stated Pepper, as he put the knife away.

After ordering me to sit, he restrained me to the chair, before pulling out a camera and turning it on. Once that was done, he started to taunt me. By turning me on, and then by slicing me up every time I responded in a good way. If I didn't respond, he would simple try something else. Until he found out what turned me on. Then he would keep trying until I didn't respond. Once that happened, he would try something else.

Luckily for me, he hadn't caused to much damage to my torso. Though he did slice it up more then I would have liked. But not deep enough that I would lose a lot of blood, or enough that I would need stitches.

Once the knife was put back, he came over to the chair. Then he climbed on top of my lap. Where he leaned in and placed a kiss to my lips. A few seconds later, he climbed off and turned the camera off.

The rules of this game were simple. Don't say a thing, or I would die. And don't respond to his touch, or I would be tortured. Of course the second part was easier said then done. He only found two turn on spots. And that's only because I kept responding to them. Though I kept trying not to. But it wasn't as easy as I had been hoping. Since he dimmed the lights in the room. The camera was mainly recording dark figures. He hadn't spoken much, nor did he really make a lot of sounds.

He did however promise that my team would never find him, and if they did, then I wouldn't live to see the out come.
