The team sat at their desks chit chatting when Garcia came rushing into the room, "we got a case, conference room guys," she breathed out before everyone grabbed their things and headed into the room. They took their normal seats as Garcia passed out case files. "Three cases with the same M.O in the Rochester area, young girls of the age 16, all brutally beaten and throat slit, signs of sexual assault as well," Garcia went over not even looking at the pictures. Nicole looked over the bruises the girls had as everything felt all too familiar, not to mention it was her hometown of Rochester, New York. "He obviously gets off by watching these girls struggle to keep in their emotions, terrified out of their minds, there are no ligature marks meaning they were either too sacred to fight back or they knew the man," Nicole announced as everyone looked over the file, "That sounds like what most likely happened, good observation Nicole, wheels up in 30," Hotch announced as everyone dispersed.

Nicole sighed grabbing her go bag from her desk and heading to the cars. Derek caught up with her, "hey that was a good observation, how did you get that?" He asked as she just looked ahead, "just a lucky guess," she forced a smile before everyone headed to the airstrip. Nicole took her seat next to Naomi as they chatted for a bit. Rossi watched Nicole carefully, he was the only one who knew about what happened to her, as he was basically the father she never had. Upon arrival Nicole swallowed the lump in her throat, she never expected to be back to the place she spent years trying to get away from.

They met with the Sheriff getting the rundown, "Reid, JJ, and Lee, you guys go talk to the families of the three victims, Prentiss, Rossi, and I will go to the recent crime scene, Kim and Morgan, you two head to the corner's office and have a look at the bodies, get anything you can on how these girls relate." Hotch ordered.

Nicole and Morgan headed out having a look at the bodies. Nicole has noticed how they were all like her, mixed Asian, as she looked at the bodies everything came back to her, she pushed the memories away for so long only to have them flood back. Morgan and Kim reported their findings to Hotch, a young deputy decided to say something at the wrong moment, "well you can see what they were wearing the night they were taken." That obviously didn't sit well with the girls, Nicole turned to him and scoffed, "are you serious? You're basically saying they asked for it, how can you be so ignorant? Just because a girl has a body and she has the confidence to show it off, doesn't mean she's asking to be raped and brutally beaten! These girls were 16! You make me sick," Nicole yelled causing everyone's eyes to widen. "You can't speak to me like that," he said, "Nicole, wall away," Rossi reasoned. Nicole rolled her eyes and walked off going out to get some air.

Derek followed her out, "hey," he softly said, gaining her attention. "You got really defensive in there, you okay?" He asked leaning on the raining next to her, she shook her head, "no girl should ever have to go through that, no one for that matter," she stated, "I know, don't hold it against the kid, he doesn't know what he's saying," Nicole scoffed before furrowing her eyebrows at Derek, "are you really trying to justify what that prick said?" She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"No, no I'm just saying he's young and arrogant, I know what you're thinking," he began but she just backed away when he went to touch her. "No Derek, you have no idea what I'm thinking, just leave me alone," Nicole turned and walked off down the street. She couldn't believe the guy she was closest to could say that. Lost in her thoughts she didn't notice the man approaching her from behind. The next thing she knew.....

Everything was black.....
