Deputy Director Bailey sighs as he drives through the dark streets of Quantico. The streets are quiet and there's barely anyone around. He'd been at one of his colleagues place, helping to work on the logistics of a case involving a serial killer who is murdering men, dissolving their bodies and leaving behind only their watches with their blood on them.

Normally they'd do this at the BAU office but tonight Bailey really wanted to help, especially considering the recent awkward and difficult tension between himself and the rest of the BAU team. His job is to keep the peace, make sure everything is poltically safe and nothing bad gets out, which of course has been rather difficult as of late.

As Bailey drives, his fingers tap on the steering wheel, his free hand rubbing his eyes. As he looks back at the road, he notices a man waving for help and slows down, stopping by the side of the road to see if the man is alright.

But just as he parks the car, he feels a ripping pain through his side and blood shooting out. Before he even has chance to react, he's in agony...and then everything goes black.
