Chapter 8

"You can hear them, but you cannot know them" - J. U.

8:15 am

[Emily POV]

I could feel there eyes on us as we walked up the stairs and into the corner of the room.

"Listen, Emily. I'm not happy about what I'm about to say, but let me just get it out," He starts.

I groan, sigh, and start picking at my nails. "What is it?" I ask.

"The Directors of NCIS and the FBI have asked the two of us to give a statement on the coffee shop yesterday, seeing. It's national news…" He tell me.

I groan again. "Are you kidding me? Alright. When? Tomorrow?" I ask, defeated.

"Six, today." He answers quickly.

"Oh, god." I say flustered as I roll my eyes and walk down the stairs. "You, owe me a coffee," I sigh loudly to him.

"I know." He too sighs.

Tim, Ziva, and Tony raise there eyebrows when they hear me order a coffee from Gibbs.

"She said that… to Gibbs?" Tony whispers.

"And he just agrees!?" Ziva questions with a look of confusion.

"Maybe he just likes her?" Tim considers, baffled.

"Yeah, maybe he does." I whisper back at them, laughing.

They look like deer in headlights.

9:00 am

[Emily POV continued]

"I'm ready to give my preliminary profile. It's not my final profile. I'll have to consult with your ME and study the case a bit more to confirm it, but this should get us started." I announce to the NCIS bullpen.

They all look up.

"DiNozzo. Take notes and pay attention for once, would you?" Gibbs tells Tony.

I smile at Gibbs.

"I am quite excited to hear this preliminary profile you speak. I have heard of them," Ziva tells me.

"Me too!" Tim agrees.

"So how does this work anyways?" Tony asks.

"I will show you." I answer. "Now to begin…"

"This is the work of an organized killer. This unsub watches the women for about a week to learn their schedules. When he decides to approach her, he will do so while she runs an errand. He will offer to help and the woman will accept. He will then ask for help, and they will agree. He abducts them. He is careful to avoid any cameras or witnesses. The unsub, unknown subject, takes the woman to a second location, where will he torture her for several days; kicking and hitting her with a bat and a belt, among other weapons. He does not kill her there. About a week after beginning her torture, he will bring her to her home and kill her there by slitting her throat. There are never witnesses. He positions her on her bed laying down. Her hands are in up in a surrender position. He is careful to leave no forensic evidence. He never drugs his victims. He wants them to be completely aware during the entire act. He gets off on their fear. The unsub will shave a part of the victim's head and take their hair as trophy." I stop for a brief moment to see if they are following. They are all taking notes, except for Gibbs. He seems intrigued, and smiles at me to continue.

I continue, "This man is only of average intelligence, but he is extremely methodical. He does not improvise; he brings his weapons with him and he always has a carefully thought out plan. The unsub not only follows the crime closely in the news, but we believe he works in law enforcement. This is how he is able to avoid forensic evidence and common mistakes. He is an alpha male and feels superior to others. He does not have many friends, but he is attractive enough and socially competent enough where he could have many friends if he wanted to. His residence is not close to the victim's home or to the location where he tortures his victims. He is too careful for that. He lives with his wife. I believe his wife is ex-navy. She was most likely recently injured and forced to retire. This was his trigger. The unsub is obsessed with having the perfect family and his wife "failing" at her job ruined this fantasy. His wife is most likely very beautiful. And if you'd ask anyone who knows them, they'd say they seemed like the perfect, normal, american family. The unsub will have no criminal background, up until the trigger he showed no signs of psychopathy. The unsub is the oldest child among his family and comes from an upper middle class background. He is of average height and weight, but has above average strength and is attractive enough for women to want to help him without asking too many questions. He is caucasian, age 30-35, and his wife is in the same age range. He has no criminal history. If his methodical pattern is disrupted, he will believe he has failed and he will become even more deadly." I pause again.

I describe my analysis of victimology, "He targets strong, beautiful, intelligent, single, caucasian women in their early 30s. They live a middle class lifestyle and are naval officers. They are educated and are in almost perfect health. He targets them because they are what he wishes he married instead of his "failure" of a wife, but he is too loyal to his wife to leave her. So he is upset by these women." I pause for them to catch up.

Nearing the end of my profile I continue, "I believe the best way to reach out to this individual is by the media. And women who fit this profile should be warned." I finish, "That concludes my profile. I've printed out lists for all of you of places to start looking and more extensive copies of my profile. Oh, and I'd like to speak with your medical examiner to verify my profile. Any questions?" I smile.

"That was really great." Tim declares.

"Wow." Tony says.

"Yes. Most informative." Ziva compliments.

"We should have more profilers come. And you did that all this morning?" Tony asks.

"Hah," I laugh, "Yes, this morning." I verify.

"Don't think all profiles are that great DiNozzo. 'Cause most of 'em are almost useless." Gibbs tells DiNozzo.

He turn to me, "That, Agent Prentiss, was impressive."

"Thanks Gibbs." I smile and try not to blush from their praises.

I never get praised like this back at the BAU, hell, I never get to take lead on the profiles. Yeah. I'm feeling pretty proud of this profile. My smile grows.

12 noon

[Gibbs POV]

Prentiss' profile was great. We've already released a statement to the press including her profile of the unsub, as she says, and with her victimology analysis. DiNozzo and Ziva are at the second victim's home. McGee is doing something on his computer, useful, I assume. Prentiss is with Ducky in the morgue. When I left them alone, they seemed to be getting along pretty well. Something about Kurt Vonneger? Vonnegut? Some historian probably. It's already been two hours, I decide to go check on her.

They're having tea and Emily is telling a story about her first real job at the BAU. It was at Guantanamo Bay. She prevented a terrorist attack. Wow. Tough break. I stand in the doorway for a watching Emily's facial expressions change as she gets excited, how her hands move when she talks, and how she and Ducky laugh together.

Eventually, she notices me. "Oh! Hey Gibbs! Come 'ere!" She motions for me to sit next to her.

"Actually, I was gonna steal you for lunch. It's already almost one, I'm guessing you haven't had breakfast," I ask her.

She guiltily looks away, "Maybe not…"

"Can she Ducky?" I ask him.

"Of course, Gibbs. I must share the lovely Miss Emily!" He replies, "But, my dear, you must come back for tea soon!" He tells her cheerily.

"Of course Ducky!" She laughs as she gets up and puts her hand on my shoulder as we walk out of the morgue.

We continue laughing and walking. I don't even notice everyone look at us weird and before I know it, we're sitting down in front of a cafe. Emily gets a chicken sandwich and I get a turkey sandwich. We complain to each other about how we have to give the statement to the press in five hours. We decide we should probably write responses to questions they may have and initial statements.

Emily spills her coke on her paper, so we give up and go back to the office.

"Let's just type it here. I promise, I won't bring any soda." Emily suggests.

I agree, but insist on typing, so she sits on my desk and tells me what to write. Before we know it, it's already 4:30. We print out two copies, one for each of us. Emily forces me home to change, "Be back by 5:30! And dress like a federal agent!" She yells at me as I drive off. I laugh.

A/N: Hope you all approve of the profile I wrote for the unsub. Also hope you like Emily's relationship with Ducky! Soon Emily will speak with Abby. Don't worry, I'm not forgetting about her! Thanks for reading! Next is Emily and Gibbs' speech.
