Two weeks.

For two weeks, the unit had been trying to track down the unsub, a serial abductor turned killer, to no avail. He's managed to evade capture at every turn—every motel, every highway, every side street. The only thing left to do now was try and lure him out.

That's where you came in.

It had taken some convincing, but you'd eventually agreed to go in as an undercover victim. You fit the victimology almost to a tee, and the team was confident that, given the right circumstances, you could be the key to his capture.

"He'll want to know when you leave, when you come home, when you've got friends over. He'll need to see you," Hotch explained as Morgan bugged you. "Keep your gun hidden. If he sees it, we'll lose him."

"I'll be right out front," said Morgan over your shoulder, "Hotch and Gideon will be around the corner in a surveillance van."

"And don't forget, you're wired, so we'll be with you the whole time," Gideon chimed in.

You nodded, taking a shaky breath in an attempt to gather your racing thoughts as you glanced back at the house they'd staged you at.

"Ready?" Morgan asked.
