FBI Headquarters

Nikki had been in Frederick, MD all day at the scene of the latest PS victim, a 15-year-old singing phenom that was due to start an advanced program at Julliard in the fall semester. They found her body, minus one index finger that was already accounted for, and no undergarments on her body or at her home. This is one ballsy unsub to go the extra step of breaking into the victim’s homes to prove a point, or serve his obsession Nikki thought. Regardless, it was incredibly reckless and hopefully he would slip up and give them the break they needed because from the condition of this latest victim, he is upping the torture and destruction he reigns down on his victims. The body was barely recognizable as human.

Nikki was making some notes on the computer when Simon’s email notification went off (she had updated it to the theme from Jaws). She opened the email and read:

“Dear Butterfly,

I am glad you are well, but this Snatcher guy is getting on my last nerve. 8 billion people to mess with and he picks you? I guess everyone has to die sometime, he is just making sure that comes sooner rather than later. I am of the opinion that PS is a greater threat, since he has chosen to target you, than Bernard is but if you feel like you have things in hand I will stay to my mission. I have been working on something and it is taking a lot of time to flesh out but I think once I tweak some things it will work out and we will be able to track Bernard.

Can you send me the exact locations of where each Snatcher victim was found? I am going to use the same tool that I created for Bernard, if it works. The more location information I have the stronger the chance that I will be able to find something.

Please take care of yourself Butterfly, I couldn’t stand if something happened to you.

Love,

Simon”

Nikki went and asked SAC McShay if she could release the vic’s locations for the PS killer and while he initially argued against it, Nikki was able to convince him that regardless of the source that the help comes from, young women were being slaughtered by a monster that has come back after all of this time with an even more voracious appetite. He begrudgingly agreed in the end and Nikki compiled the information and sent it on to Simon.
