lost n gone. (Criminals Minds)

3

Darkness. It's all I saw.

I heard sobbing next to me, but I couldn't turn to see who. I couldn't open my eyes, explaining the darkness I saw, and my body ached.

I forced myself to try to open my eyes, but I couldn't. Frustrated, I let out a groan, shocking whoever was near me. I heard them scamper up and run somewhere, before I started to open my eyes inch by inch. I was met with a dirty gray cement sky, and realized that was just the ceiling of this place.

Suddenly, everything came rushing back to me. The van, the trench coat. Kailee screaming my name... Kailee!

I sat up fast, not caring that I almost fell back down, and fearfullylooked around. We're gonna die. No one knows we are missing, they probably think I've gone to Kailees, and she's gone to mine!

Oh god, I felt sick. What if in that time they realized we were gone, we were already dead?! I felt the bile in my throat and disgustingly swallowed it back down, finally seeing the face I prayed was okay.

"Shh, it's okay Ammy, it's okay!" She spoke in a hushed tone, and I let my tears fall.

What's gonna happen to us?

"Hotch, we got a new case" Agent Jennifer Jareau spoke to Aaron Hotchner in his office, handing over a folder with files in it.

"Okay, gather everyone in the conference room."

J.J nodded and left his office, heading over to the work spaces were her team was.

"Conference in 5, guys." She spoke, before leaving immediately. Agent Derek Morgan look at her funny before looking to his other team member, Doctor Spencer Reid.

"What's up with her?" He asked, and Reid shrugged before getting up and heading to the conference room with him. They were met by Agent Elle Greenway and J.J already there.

Taking there seats, in came Agent Jason Gideon and Hotchner came walking in, and Gideon took a seat while Hotch began speaking.

"Trenton, New Jersey, a case of girls being kidnapped and killed, unsub has already took 3 girls and killed them, and there's 1 other girl reported missing already." He said

"The Unsub most likely stalked his victims to gather information about them, they all connect in some way." J.J spoke up this time, and pulled out the picture of a girl"

"Claire Blakey, 15 years old, was walking home from after school detention, the area she lived in was shady and not to many would be outside to see her get grabbed." She pulled out another photo.

"Jonni Marie, 14, on her way home from the mall, most likely took a quiet route the family said she took with her brothers before, down an ally and that's where he caught her." And another picture of a girl.

"Melissa Martinez, 15, coming back from school this time, walks alone 3 miles before reaching her house, again lives in a shady area of town so nobody really saw her walking ." She placed all photos of the girls on the table, and Hotch grabbed one of them.

"Who lets a 15 year old walk alone 3 miles?!" Elle spoke, while the others just stayed silent. Hotchner shook his head at them before continuing

"He targets teenagers, new freshman's in high school, all brunette until Jonni, she had red hair" he explained.

"Oh, parents stated she was a natural brunette, but bleached and dyed her hair last year and has kept it like that since." J.J spoke.

"So the little pervert goes for girls who are young, brunettes, maybe gets off on the fact they just stared going through womanly changes in there body." Morgan spoke up, shaking his head at the thought.

J.J pulled out the pictures of the bodies from the crime scene and placed them under the photos of each girl the belonged to, other than the one Hotch grabbed, but he put it back down after.

"All the girls had blue eyes, other than Jonni who had brown." Hotch said.

Gideon spoke up next. "All the bodies were stabbed repeatedly, throats slashed and arms slides vertically. Seems like they were roughly handled, bruising around the breast , evidence of sexual assault while they were alive, and regular beatings took place." He said, and everyone looked down in shame.

Reid then spoke, " It seems like he must have had a certain type, There facial structure is somewhat similar, she must have had brown hair, young, athletic apparently."

"He saw something in them to trigger him and make them targets" Derek said, looking around at them.

"Sick bastard...." Elle spoke, looking disgusted.

"Is there anything that links them specifically together? Traits, hobbies, anything?" Hotch asked, and J.J shook her head

"No, they didn't give us much information other than this, but I've scheduled to go speak to the families to find out if hey we're all friends at some point or did anything together." She said, and everyone nodded

"Who's the missing girl they reported J.J?" Gideon asked, and J.J pulled out a photo again.

"Raina Doe, 14 years old, was walking home from the store a block away from her house, father found the bag of groceries when she hadn't returned and he went looking for her." She said, and they shook there heads.

"Alright, wheels up in 10" Hotchner spoke, and they all stood and left to grab their bags.
