JJ pov...

We head to the round table for Garcia to go over the new case. We have three female victims who were tortured and raped before their throats were slit killing them. The unsub is leaving the body's wrapped in a sheet on bench's in different parks so that they are found, he dumped each body a week apart with the last one two days ago meaning we have to work fast to avoid a new victim.

Hotch, Reid, Rossi, Morgan, Blake and I grab our go bags and get on the plane to head to Maine. Hotch gives us our jobs for when we land.

Spence sits next to me and asks "are you alright?"
I smile and say "why would I be"
He says "it's just you seemed off in the briefing and I was worried"
I say "everything is fine don't worry"

We land and I head with Hotch to the station to talk to the local police and start setting up the board.
Hotch talks to some officers while I put the information on the board. As I place the photos of the victims of the victims up I compare it to what I went through over a month ago when Cruz and I were tortured in the basement.
The job is my life but I can't help think what would it be like if I weren't here, all the things we see and what I have experienced who really knows how we change from what we do.

When everyone gets here we over over the information and victimology. We work on the profile before giving a preliminary profile to the officers so we can start working on catching the unsub.

We get a report of a great new missing person Abby Mitchell who fits in the victim profile. I look at the victims photos next to each other and think they all all in their thirties, have long blond or brown hair and have a partner.

We get Garcia to track their movements to see where they cross paths and we find out that all of them had broken down cars and called the same service. It is run by one person, Marty Reynolds who is in his mid fourties and matches the profile.

We get a location of his house and head out to the location. We head in and find one person being held, Morgan and Blake stay with her while the rest of us split up to find the unsub. I walk into one room and see Marty packing his stuff. I get him to stop and put his hands up.
I go over and arrest him and tell him his rights. He says "you know I watched you since you arrived and thought you would be a good target then realised you have already been through this and it was more fun to watch you struggle"
I tell him to shut up before taking him out to the others where the local police take custody.
I go over to the team and Blake says "Abby had only minor injuries, she is being taken to hospital just to be checked over"
I smile thinking it's good that she is safe now. Hotch says "lets get our stuff and head home"
