Walking into the conference room a few hours later I see we're the last to show up.

"Glad you're here time to get started." JJ says and we take a seat.

"So there have been a rash of killing over the past two weeks. All of them kids and all of them aged 11 years old. This is where it gets bad." She says putting pictures of five boys on the screen.

I gasp and feel sick so I head to the trash can and throw up. Looking back up I see everyone is staring at me.

"You gonna be ok to do this?" Aaron asks resting a hand on my back.

"She's gonna have to be." JJ says and we stare at her.

"Well this was at the last scene." She says pulling up a note.

"Let's play a game Abby Hotchner, I know you failed do you like my work. You stole everything from me i will make you relive this over and over. You can't stop me unless you play my game. So what do you say wanna play?" Spencer reads and then looks at me.

JJ looks slightly worried and I study the photo of the boys. "They were all killed the same way." I whisper.

"You do not have to do this." Morgan says but I shake my head.

"If I don't there'll be more look at them they even were made to dress like Jack, I refuse to let this continue. I'll play."

"Abby..." Aaron starts.

"No Ill play." I tell him and he nods.

"Well stop this." He says and I nod.

My phone on the table rings and I look to Garcia. "How long do I have to keep them talking?" I ask.

"20 seconds." She say and I nod. When she signals she's ready I hit the button and wait.

"Who is this?" I ask calmly after a moment.

"Hello Abby." Ravens voice says and my eyes go wide.

"Raven." I say and I hear her laugh.

"Took you long enough but I figure the California air has your mind clouded."

"You're the one killing these kids?" I ask and she laughs.

"Are you gonna play my game?" She asks.

"Yes." I tell her.

"Good." I hear just before there's a click and the line goes dead.

"Tell me you got something." I ask Garcia.

"I'm sorry but she had it bouncing off of everything." She daughter and I sigh.

"It's fine I'm now in her game." I say just as my phone goes off.

'10th and Downing Street don't tell your team you're the only one allowed to play no rules.' It says.

"Time to go." I say and Aaron looks at me.

"Abby be careful." He says staring straight in my eyes and I smile.

"I'll be fine Aaron." I tell him kissing him quickly and then waving to the others. "See ya on the other side."

They look scared but I know I can't stop, the only question running through my head is: what games will she have me play?
