"This is the 3rd body this month. All killed with a gunshot to the head and all with their chests ripped open. Oakland medical examiner confirmed the first 2 victims were missing their heart, how much you want to bet this one is the same?" Chief Wayne Unser said to his deputy David Hale.
"Yeah if this was a simple execution I would be banging on the door of Clay and his SAMCRO boys but even I know this can't be them. Think it's time we call in the big guns." Hale said.
"I hate to say it but you're right son, make the damn call." Unser said with extreme reluctance as he walked back to his police cruiser knowing he had to give Clay and the boys a heads up.

"Guys we have a case." Aaron Hotchner called out to his team at the Behaviour Analysis Unit in Quantico Virginia.
He waited as they all took their seats and gestured to Garcia to fill them in.
"Charming, California, 3 bodies in a month, all with a gunshot to the head but the freaky part to this is that every one has had their chest ripped open and the heart is missing." she said as she placed photos on the screen for them all to see. "The gunshot would indicate an execution, but add that to the chest being ripped open it looks like we are dealing with someone who gets off on the pain of others." Derek said. "Considering the heart is taken before the gunshot to the head..." Garcia trailed off. "OK so we are dealing with a male, likely between the age of 30 – 35 who blends in with society but has enough rage to mutilate his victims before using a gunshot to make sure their victim is actually dead." Hotchner said. "Looks like we are heading to Charming, wheels up in 30."

Unser pulled into the lot of Teller- Morrow and got out of his cruiser with a grim look on his face and made his way to the group of Son's sat at the bar.
Clay spotted him and noticed the look and sighed as the police chief said "We got another one, I'm in over my head here. Hale has called in some help, behaviour team at FBI. I know you guys been looking but I can't let this continue."
"I get it, not too fond of the feds being up our asses but you gotta do what you gotta do." Clay said in a generous acceptance of extra shit being placed on his doorstep. "We got nothing, asshole not leaving any clues." Clay admitted.

On the jet the BAU were discussing the case, at least what they knew so far. "Victimology appears random, we got 3 victims, 1 Caucasian female, 1 Caucasian male and 1 African American male, nothing in common except for they lived in Charming or one of the surrounding towns." JJ stated.
"Geographically makes no sense either, our female victim lived in a house in the affluent area of town, the white male had no fixed address and the African American victim lived in a town called Lodi." Spencer added.
"OK, Prentiss and Rossi I want you to head to the M.E's office in Oakland, JJ and Spencer I want you at the newest crime scene and Morgan you're with me at the police precinct." Hotchner said assigning the team their jobs.
Garcia then called with an update. "Right so I just checked with local PD, apparently they have a "motorcycle club" in town who on close inspection have rap sheets that go for days, several arrests for violent conduct and concealed weapons. Several arrests, limited charges brought. Some have done jail time but it seems to me that our friendly neighbourhood police chief may be accepting bribes from these guys to look the other way."
"Who the hell are these guys?" Morgan asked.
"They are called the Son's of Anarchy." Garcia replied. "I'll keep digging and let you know what else I find." she continued. "OK thanks Garcia." Hotchner said as he ended the call.
"This just got a little more complicated." he said earning nods from his team. "Slight change of plan, Morgan you and I will set up at the PD and then what do you say we pay the Son's of Anarchy a visit?" Morgan grinned accepting the change and knowing it was going to be an interesting day.
Once the team landed in Oakland Prentiss and Rossi made their way to the M.E's office where they introduced themselves to the lady who said her name was Miranda Wallis. "I don't know what to tell you agents, whoever did this is definitely confused at best." Prentiss looked at Rossi before asking "What do you mean confused?" Miranda sighed before pointing to the newest victim "See the wounds on the chest? They were made with a blade, several deep cuts, down to the bone but there are no defensive wounds. My best guess is that the victim was drugged before the violence began. Same with the other 2 victims. The rib cage was bashed with something, hard enough to shatter the bone and the same blade was used to remove the heart. They finished off with a gunshot to the temple." Rossi cleared his throat and said "That is 2 completely opposite ends of the spectrum. The removal of the heart and the damage caused whilst doing it suggests rage, but it is sloppy, no clear sign of medical training and then there is the gunshot, its clinical, cold like an execution. I think we have enough to start a profile."
JJ and Spencer met up with David Hale at the newest crime scene and introduced themselves. "Don't know what you are hoping to find out here." Hale said to the agents. "From the lack of blood I am confident this is a body dump." JJ said. "Yeah, it looks a little too clean, see the tyre treads leading out of the alley? Tells me that our unsub drove a vehicle down here and dumped the body. We should send the photos of the treads to Garcia see if she can't work some magic." Spencer said agreeing with JJ.
Hotchner and Morgan had finished up at Charming PD and were on their way to introduce themselves to the Son's of Anarchy when Garcia called. "So I think I have a connection between the victims." she said with no preamble at all. "Go ahead Garcia." Hotchner said. "So Jennie Weaver, our first victim was on the committee of something called the Taste of Charming, Wendell Madock was on the streets having moved to Charming from a similar small town in Oregon and the last victim Laroy Wayne was the leader of a gang called the One Niners. The connection is tenuous at best but Gemma Teller- Morrow, wife of Clarence Morrow and head of the Son's of Anarchy is also on the committee of the Taste of Charming, Wendell Madock is her brother who she didn't know about and well I'm sure you can figure out that the One Niners and the Son's of Anarchy have history." she finished. "Thanks baby girl." Morgan said as they ended the call.
"Time to introduce ourselves to the resident "Motorcycle club" then." Morgan said.
