I went home with Aaron Hotchner that night happy and safe, no one had been shot today, no cases needed to be solved it was a day of pure bliss. Of course I enjoyed my first night with Aaron Hotchner, I welcomed it like warm sunlight in winter. However good things never last long and the next day we had a case, a case that no one wanted to have.

"Well there's good news it's here in Virginia, that's the only good news you get the rest is all bad. Horribly bad. The victims range in age, color, height, gender you name it. However this unsub changes his victims. He cuts them, I mean like skins them and then places those skins on his other victims but it's not just flesh, he switches hair eyes, um certain body parts." Garcia says and then shivers.

"And it's never in the same place either so far it has been 2 males: Brian Foster and Jacob Reynolds from Iowa. A female from Georgia named Casey Smith. A little girl from Arkansas her name was Sally Henderson she's the youngest at age 8. There's five more but I can send you those files so they're easier for you. At each crime scene he draws this."

She then shows us a picture of a red circle but inside this circle is an upside down star and inside of that there is a drawing of satan himself.

"Is that blood?" Reid asks and Farcia nods.

"Well that's weird." I say.

"Um yeah." She says and I shake my head.

"No no not that I mean that's weird but I was talking about something else."

"What?" Morgan asks.

"Well the report shows that they weren't missing any blood save from maybe you know when they were cut."

"Yeah and?"

"Well then who's blood is on the wall I mean that's a lot of blood and to leave it at each of the crime scenes...how does he get it?"

Everyone goes back to staring at the files and then Hotch looks up.

"Why is this one here in Virginia?"

"Cause they found another victim." Garcia says pulling up a photo of a middle aged person.

"Alright Morgan you and I will head to the morge, JJ take Abby and you two talk to the family we need them calm, Reid stay here with Rossi and look for a connection between our victims."

We all nod and four of us stand up to leave the building.
