He watched people pass by in the rain. There was one girl but she was soaking wet and had no shoes on.  Plus she walked too fast for him to catch up to her.

Then another one walked by. She was taking her time and enjoying the rain. He walked up behind her and dragged her back into the alley.

"I don't believe that woman was a coroner." Spencer said as they left Hefferstien's.

"She had a gun on her." Derek said.

"What? I never saw one."

"It was tucked into the back of her pants. Couldn't have been anything bigger than a .22. I saw it when she took off the lab coat."

"Oh." Spencer said, "She didn't strike me as the kind to carry."

"Who knows?" Derek shrugged. There was so much you couldn't tell about people, but Reid took his question seriously.

"Well, Garcia would know. We do have her name, supposing it's her real one."

"He is chasing that first high he felt." Reid stated.

"Which he won't get again." JJ came over.

"That's what worries me. His cooling period is waning five victims in two weeks. There was only a day between Deliah and Bree. It's been two. He probably has another victim. We need to get the profile out and tell the public," Aaron Hotchner stated.

"Well then let's do it."
