When the team jet landed northeast of Birmingham, they were met by a Detective from the Alabama State Police.
"Detective Addams," he introduced himself, holding out his hand. "Thanks for getting here so quickly."
"SSA Aaron Hotchner, we spoke on the phone," Hotch introduced himself as he shook hands. "These are Agents Rossi, Jareau, Morgan, and Blake. That is Dr. Reid." He pointed out each individual team member as he introduced them.
"You do understand that we need to move quickly if we are going to get Ms. Harris back alive?" he continued.
"Is there any news?" Morgan wanted to know.
"Nothing," Detective Addams said. "But we have got all the manpower we can round up out looking for her. If you'll pick up your vehicles and follow me, I'll show you where we have set up our command post. You can make yourselves at home and work from there."
"Actually, I would like to send several of my agents to look at the scene of the latest abduction," Hotch told him. "Do you have someone who could take them?"
"No problem," Detective Addams replied, pulling out his cell phone. "Let me get someone over here."
"Morgan and Reid, you go out to the latest abduction site. See what you can find," Hotch began assigning duties. "Rossi, you and Blake go talk to the coroner. See what they can tell you about the mutilations and the cause of death. JJ and I will get set up at the command post. Everyone keep in touch with me and with Garcia. Remember, speed is of the essence if we want to get Ms. Harris back alive."
