I sat at my desk replaying the events from last night as they lingered freshly in my mind. Spencer's fingers trailing over my hair... his fingers did more than just trail through my hair-

"I heard we got a bad case today." Garcia startled me as she joined me behind my desk.

I looked over at her and noticed she had a strawberry yogurt in her hand... MY strawberry yogurt that I stashed away in the back of the fridge for when I had low blood sugar.

"Miss Penelope Garcia, where did you get that yogurt?" I jokingly asked turning around in my spinning chair to face her.

She was about to take a bite and came to a hault and sarcastically looked down at me. "Kevin ate my salad... that I specifically labeled with pink glittery tape, so I took your emergency snack. You can't be mad though, cause I made you cupcakes and you know you love m-" she was cut off as Hotch stepped out of his office and called us all to the roundtable room. We all looked around at each other for a moment and made our way inside to our seats.

Garcia walked up to the screen and showed us the victims. The victimology looked similar to something I've seen before and I couldn't seem to place my finger on it. It could also be because I've seen a ton of similar cases in the past... but this felt different.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked over at Spencer. "You okay?" He asked.

I gave him a weak smile and nodded.

"Okay, so our unsub has killed a man on the side of Windy hill rd, and a woman at a gas station thirteen miles away." Garcia said pulling the pictures of their lifeless bodies up on the screen.

"There's no sign of overkill with these victims, and every shot he made was directly through the center of their forehead. The way the bullet tore its way through their epidermis, shows that it was done at close proximity." Spencer said analyzing the pictures.

"The only thing connecting these victims are the forehead shots." Emily looked up and tapped her pen against her lip.

"It looks like we might have an M.O. as well. The letters O and G were written next to our female victim... in blood." Garcia said adding more pictures to the board.

"Was it her blood?" Spencer asked.

"They are still waiting for forensics to match and ID the blood along with the prints." Jj answered for her.

"OG? We have to find out what that stands for. It could be the key to cracking down on our unsub." Morgan added.

"The latest victim, Jillian Arnold, was a 25 year old student at VSU. We need to look into why he would write OG in blood next to her and not our male victim." Garcia continued.

"I know this has nothing to do with the case, but she looks exactly like Kira..." Rossi added looking anxiously between me and the board.

She did look exactly like me... the same makeup look, body type, skin tone, and hair color.

"Local authorities just confirmed that the first victim Larry Graham was driving up north. The tire marks next to his body indicate that the unsub was trying to flee the scene quickly." Hotch added after receiving a text.

"It would make sense. Our unsub probably acted like a hitchhiker or someone in desperate need of help to distract him long enough to kill him and steal his car." Spencer said as he examined the case on his tablet while occasionally making eye contact with the rest of the team.

"We all know the area well, so we have an advantage. Garcia go find the surveillance video at the gas station." Hotch said. "Nelson, Reid and Emily I want you at the second crime scene. Morgan and Rossi go to the first, and Jj and I will go to the morgue and see what we can find out." Hotch said.
