Zack sat inside the tutorial for his Shakespeare class at the Literature University. Students began to arrive inside the smaller size class. Sitting next to him was a young woman with short brown hair, dark brown eyes, wearing a black shirt and jeans. Her necklace was a tiger, shining from the room's light. Her eyes looked tired as she looked at the clock above the whiteboard.

"Okay everyone gets into pairs. We're going to work on some monologues today." Zack turned to the young lady on his right side.

"Hi," he began as she turned to look at him with a smile.

"Hi,"

"I'm Zack, I'm new here."

"I'm Carina," she replied with a smile. "Do you want to work together?"

"Sure," he replied. "Are you okay? You seem down."

"I'd rather not talk about it with someone I don't know that well."

"Fair enough," Zack replied. "I understand that. Don't you wish you could just sleep forever and not have to worry about anything?"

"Yeah," Carina agreed. "Sometimes it's all just a bit too much, it's like the weight of the world on my shoulders. But I guess everyone in college feels like that."

"Yeah, I guess," Zack replied. "Hey this is going to sound weird, but would you like to go out for something to eat this evening?"

"I'm not sure."

"It might be enough to get you out of your slump." Zack urged as Carina debated the idea over in her head.

"I guess it couldn't hurt to," Carina smiled.

"Okay how about I come and pick you up then?" Zack asked with a smile. Carina nodded her head and wrote down her address onto a piece of paper.

"I live on campus, that's my apartment number."

"You live alone?"

"Yeah, my parents died in a car accident two weeks ago. I don't have anyone else."

"Maybe I can help you," Zack replied placing the paper into his book.

Maggie Reece stood in front of the police officers all sitting in their chairs and waiting for the profile and news. Detective Adams stood in the back of the room, obviously the most anxious of them all.

"Thank you for coming," Maggie said as they began taking out pen and paper, ready to try and solve this case.

"We are looking for a young, white male, possibly late teens or early twenties who attends University either posing as a student or who is one."

"He appears friendly on the surface and tries to get close to his victims and judging by the wounds on the victims sustained and the locations they were dumped it would appear that he did feel a connection with them." Reid continued.

"We believe that he uses the victim's key cards to access doors late at night to dump the bodies at their various locations and he may use an alias to get someone's trust. We are looking for a young may who may have had something happen to him which makes him compelled to kill again."

"From what we have observed it would appear that his escalation in kills has increased over the first two weeks and he may be searching for his next victim. For this reason, all of the Universities in the local area need to be made aware of people who may pose as students but not appear on registers or rosters." Reid concluded.

"This man uses arouse with his victims and gains their trust and kills them," Maggie continued. "From this pattern so far, it would appear that he kills them in the afternoon and the accesses the University late at night, campuses need to be vigilant and have extra security personnel working the buildings. We have also identified one University that we believe will be his next target and have had a technical analyst advise them of extra security procedures that must be taken at all entrances to stop his access. That's all," Maggie finished as the officers began to leave the room and go out on patrol.
