They grabbed the woman's body and placed her in the back of their car, getting ready to drive out into the Forest. Two hours it took them, and for two hours they felt a sense of relief. No way they would know it's them. They arrive at the front of the forest, surrounded by rangers. The rangers speak to them "Can we see your license? What is your business here at this time?" They answered "I'm here for the star gazing event being held tonight, I've brought the flyer with me". They were certainly prepared. With a quick check inside from the driver's window and a check of the license, they were let inside. 

Tuesday October 12, 2021 10:50pm. Olympic National Park.

Parking where the other cars were, they grabbed the poorly bagged body and carried it out of the car and deeper in the land. Taking out their ropes, gloves, mask, and goggles, they took out the body and started tying the limbs with rope. They threw a rope over a tree branch, lifting the body in the air with dangling rope from each limb, soon tying those to other parts of the tree. 

There they viewed their work. Skin teared and pulled outward, held by broken ribs. In a daze from what they've done, they threw their gloves on the ground somewhere nearby and walked back towards the parked cars. They looked at their watch and whispered "11:07, I still have 23 minutes", grabbed a bag full of snacks, and walked towards the destined location of the star gazing event. When arriving at the scene they're welcomed by all the other visitors, as they all start to discuss their knowledge on the stars above, eating snacks, drinking booze, and having fun. 

Wednesday October 13, 2021 2:23am. Olympic National Park. 

A young couple decide they want to get away from the campsite to have some of their own fun. Let's name them Allison and Chase. The man names Chase informs the others "Allison isn't feeling a bit too well, I'm gonna go on and take her back to the sleeping site". Cue Allison holding her head and swaying, holding onto Chase's arm. Everyone bids them a goodbye as they leave. They take a turn through the woods though and start to get frisky with each other. Tops are off and lips are dancing against each other until they feel something drip onto their head. Too dark to see Chase pulls out his phone and enables his flashlight. They both had never felt such fear run through them, staggering breath as if they had just climbed a mountain. The shock was too much, neither could run and fell in disbelief at the body above them, and a not a minute too soon Allison had let out a scream of terror.

"Salem you need to stop putting that much sugar in your coffee, you'll never go to sleep", "And what if that's the point Rivai?" As she continued to stir the sugar in. As she sips her sweet caffeinated beverage Hera walks in. "Leave the kid alone" as Hera just pats Salem on the back and heads to her office. Florian laughs as Rivaille rolls his eyes at his colleagues and walks into his own office to work on his files. Ciarán came through the doors and went straight to his desk to work peacefully.. until Nikolai and Kurai both walked in arguing. "I just don't see why you had to get the same sandwich as me Kurai, you never do so why today?" "What? I can't try something new once in a while?" "Oh, like having new girlfriends every now and then?". Annoyed with their stupid argument Rivaille came out of his office and yelled "either both of you shut the fuck up and wait for Bia and Zagreus to come in with a new case or you can both get your asses out of your head and out of here". Everyone let out a small chuckle as the two were quick to shut up. 

In only 5 minutes later Bia and Zagreus walked in with a file in hand and called everyone for a meet. "3 ladies, ages apart, and no relation with each other have been found hanging and tied to trees at least 2 weeks apart" as Bia started to flick through the pictures shared on the screen. Zagreus spoke up with disgust "Are they... ripped open?" Salem corrected him quickly "Actually, if you pay closer attention to the way their ribs are positioned and cracked open and spread like wings, this is a method known as the 'Blood Eagle'." "What the actual fuck is a 'Blood Eagle'?" "Well Nikolai, it's a torture method that involves separating the victim's ribs from their spine, pulling their bones and skin outward to make "wings" and removing their lungs. It is a way for the victim to reclaim lost honor". Nikolai stared at her for a quick few seconds before replying "you need to get an actual fucking hobby bro". 

Hera quickly stopped the oncoming argument, "alright, that's enough. Blood Eagle... why such method? What motive would our unsub have?" Ciarán hummed before replying "well, from the looks of it, it doesn't seem the unsub had any sexual motives towards the women, seeing that there are no other injuries that were found". Zagreus spoke up "seeing that all the victims are women, it's highly possible that our unsub is a male, but it's often rare that we have one that doesn't have any sexual urges to his victims". Staring at the reports and bios of the Women, Rivaille quickly spoke up "There's something interesting though". Everyone looked at him as he continued to talk, "All of these women either had kids and were going to have a kid, and they were known in their areas to be mistreated". Puzzled by the connection, Bia butted in "so you mean, the unsub knew these women were struggling?", getting a nod from Rivaille to confirm her suspicions. Right as Kurai was about to ask a question, Rivaille gets a phone call.

"We need to get to Washington, NOW. There's been another victim"
