A soaked Derek gives an unidentified body CPR. "Stay with me!" he yells. But who is Derek attempting to revive? "Wait, wait" Derek says breathlessly as he looks around at his surroundings. "Where's Maya? Where's Maya?!" Derek screams out before looking back down at the unidentified body continues to give them CPR. "Come on. Where's Maya?" Derek mumbles to himself while still trying to save the person even though all he's thinking about is Maya...

THREE DAYS EARILER...

"Let's get started" Aaron calls out as him and Rossi enter the room where Garcia is about to present the new case. A woman, who is unidentified, plunged off a roadside cliff in Lake Worth, North Carolina. But the only thing that shocked people about the case was that woman survived the fall. "Local Sheriff found her" Garcia informs and Maya sighs as she flips through the crime scene photos on her tablet. "No one her age was missing from the town?" Derek wonders but the answer was no.

"So why do they need us?" Rossi wonders. Another woman, however, was found three years ago -- and had similar stab wounds. "Raped repeatedly and tortured," Reid observes before the team concludes that the women are victims of the same man.

The team is now on the jet, on their way to Lake Worth, North Carolina to work on the case furthermore. Maya went to retrieve some coffee when Derek had joined her, setting his cup near her which she filled for him. After Maya filled both her and Derek's mug, she set the pot back on the small table and looked over to Derek who was staring at her, and she noticed he seemed to do that a lot. It was like he wanted to ask her something or tell her something but he just... couldn't.

"We should get back to the team" Maya states, snapping Derek out of his trance before taking a sip of her coffee and pushing past him, walking towards the rest of the team who talks about the new case. "No one from town is missing which means he most likely picks his victims up outside Lake Worth" Reid observes as Maya sits herself on top of one of the small tables on the jet.

The 2008 Jane Doe was found in the woods over here, and the most recent victim was found on the south side of the lake that heads out of town" Reid states, showing where on the map the bodies were located. "Then the unsub has to hold the victims somewhere in between those locations" Maya declares as she looks over at the map, laid out in front of Reid.

"How long do we think he held his new victim?" Rossi wonders, looking around at the group. "The bruises are free which means they're fresh so... he couldn't have had them for more than eight days" Maya answers before taking another sip of her coffee to awaken her. "And her body is dehydrated suggesting he wants to keep them weak" Derek says as he reads the hospital notes. "But he underestimated her. When she had the chance, she ran" Hotch states.
