I see Hotch walk into the conference room, Eden walking in immediately after him. 

"Everyone, this is Agent Eden Oliver. She will be joining us from here on out. Please introduce yourselves so we can begin," Hotch says gesturing to the girl behind him. The first person that walks up to her is Morgan. I hear him introduce himself, shaking her hand in the process. Derek walks back to his chair which is sitting next to me. 

"So what do you think of the newest addition?" He asks me looking back at Eden. 

"She seems cool," I start, "We actually met earlier at the elevator," I tell him. 

The next two people who introduce themselves to Eden are Emily and JJ. 

"Hi. I'm Jennifer Jareau, but everyone calls me JJ," she begins, "and this is Emily Prentiss." She gestures to the raven-haired woman standing next to her. "It's really nice to meet you both," Eden replies, shaking their hands. Rossi walks over to her as the two women return to their seats. "Hey, I'm Agent David Rossi," he says shaking her hand. I get up from my seat and walk over to her.

"Hi again. We already met but I just wanted to introduce myself again." I tell her. 

"Hey, Genius. You have got to tell me how you have 3 P.h.D's at such a young age," she exclaims.

"I promise I will tell you all about it when we get to the hotel," I promise her. She smiles at me, "I'm holding you to it, Einstein." I gesture for her to take a seat in the chair next to me, pulling it out for her. She mutters a 'thank you' as Penelope walks in gasping. 

"Oh my gosh! Hi! You must be Eden, I'm Penelope!" She says rushing over to her, engulfing her in a hug. Garcia pulls away before speaking again. "I'm the BAU's goddess of all things technological," she explains before walking to the front of the round-table, holding the remote for the screen behind her. Eden leans over to me, smiling and whispers, "is she always like that?" I return the smile, whispering back to her, "for as long as I've known her."

"Okay, Crimefighters," our technical analyst begins, "in the last month, Atlanta PD has found three different crime scenes in motel rooms in the Atlanta area," Garcia states as she pulls up three pictures of the victims and the corresponding crime scene photos. The women are all brunette with a large number of stab wounds and underwear in their mouths.

"Our first victim is Rue Holloway. She's twenty-years-old, lived on the streets, and worked as a prostitute. She was killed about a month ago." Garcia explains. "The second victim is Sydney Jones. She was twenty-two-years-old, a single mom of a two-year-old son named Michael, and also worked as a prostitute. She was killed two weeks ago." Garcia pulls up photos of the two women on the screen behind her. 

"You said there were three crime scenes?" JJ asks.

"Yes," Garcia responds, pulling up two more photos. One of the photos is of the victim and the second is a photo of the crime scene. "Our latest victim is Natalie Garner, twenty-three-years-old. She was a drug addict and worked as a prostitute. Her body was discovered last night when the cleaning lady of the motel went to clean the motel room that she was in."

"Atlanta P.D. has requested our help, and it doesn't look like this Unsub is going to stop anytime soon. Wheels up in thirty," Hotch says to the team before walking out of the room.
