"If you insist," Garcia replied as she turned her head away from the picture which now appeared on the screen. It showed a partially decomposed body and, judging by the hair and what was left of the clothes, the decedent had been a woman.

"This was found in the general vicinity of the second sighting," Hotch told the team. "The remains have not been positively identified, but they appear to match the general description of Lillian Williams, who was reported missing ten days ago. Cause of death has not yet been determined."

"So, she disappeared around the same time as the first sighting?" JJ clarified.

"You would be right," Garcia confirmed.

"Where exactly did she disappear?" Blake asked. "And, under what circumstances?"

Garcia consulted her notes. "She was last seen at a strip mall approximately three miles from where her body was found," the tech read. "Apparently, she had stopped on her way home from work to pick up a pizza, something she did from time to time. Her purse and cell phone were still in the car. No signs of a struggle."

"This isn't all?" JJ sounded resigned.

"No," Hotch replied as Garcia put up another picture.

This picture showed another woman's body, less decomposed than the previous one. The woman had short brown hair and appeared to be wearing a flowered top with jeans.

"This body was found this morning, not far from the site of the third sighting," Hotch told the team. "It has been positively identified as Ruth Snow who went missing two days ago."

"Again, it coincides with the sighting," Reid exclaimed. "What were the circumstances of her disappearance?"

"She disappeared from a shopping mall located in Toledo, Ohio," Garcia told him. "Her car was found in the parking lot with her purse, phone, and packages inside. And, yes, she also disappeared in the early evening."

"So, we can eliminate robbery as a motive," Morgan observed. "Whoever grabbed these women definitely just wanted the woman."

"Is there any indication of a sexual assault?" Rossi asked.

"They are still checking on that," Garcia told him. "However, as always, there is more."

She pushed a button on her remote and yet another picture appeared on the screen. This one showed a skull and what appeared to be several human arm bones lying in a muddy area.

"When the authorities found the two bodies, they re-examined the area where the first sighting occurred and this is what they found," Garcia told the team. "There hasn't been any identification or cause of death, but it has been determined that this was a white female in her early 30's. And, unfortunately, due to the numerous sightseers in the area, they are unable to come up with a definite estimate of how long the body has been there. From the way the skeleton was partially buried in the ground, a general guess is between 12 and 18 months."

"That predates the sightings," JJ said. "As if someone - or something – " she looked over at Reid, "Has been periodically returning to the general area."

"Is there any cause of death for any of the women?" Morgan questioned.

"Nothing has yet been determined," Garcia read off her tablet. "However, the coroner did say that preliminary examination of the oldest body, that is the bones, shows multiple broken bones which might, and she did emphasize might, be consistent with a fall from a significant height."

"As if it was pushed out of a low flying aircraft," Blake observed.

"We need to be on-site to see if we can determine what is going on with these women," Hotch told the team. "Wheels up in 30!"

As everyone stood up to leave, JJ looked over at Reid. "Spence, don't forget to call Emma and tell her you are going out of town," she reminded him gently.

"Oh – Yeah - Right," Reid pulled out his cell phone. "I'll text her right away. I know she's going to be in meetings all afternoon. Thanks for reminding me."

"I know you aren't used to being married," JJ smiled at him. "And, I really want to make sure the two of you get off to a good start."

As the team continued filing out of the room, Hotch spoke up. "Reid, a minute please."

"Yes?" Reid looked up from his cell phone.

"Please don't take this the wrong way," Hotch continued once the other agents had left the room. "But, we are going to be in a small, confined space for several hours. You may want to see what you can do to de-fragrance yourself."

"No problem," Reid assured him. "I'll go down to the gym and take a quick shower."

Hotch hesitated a moment before asking, "And, Reid – Can you tell me the name of whatever it is that Rossi asked about?"

"That would be Dark Twilight," Reid told him.

Morgan had been standing just outside the door, smirking. "Okay, Pretty Boy," he teased as Reid walked into the hallway. "Let me take you downstairs and get you washed off. You can text 'The Wife' on the way."
