"Which suggests that we are looking for someone who might work in a blue collar job which requires man power" Richard added upon what John had said

"Meaning we must focus most of our attention to places such as construction firms,local mines and other jobs which require a lot of man power"  Donovan said

"But Donovan if i may ask, what makes you think this man is a local?" Casey asked as she bit the tip of her pen

"Well the sightings of the bodies suggests that he somewhere within a few miles of the Central Business District because according to statistics killers dump or hide bodies within a 14 miles radius of where they live not further than that, its in very rare cases where a body is dumped far away meaning that our killer is a local" Donovan replied

"Those are very bright ideas guys but not to mean to burst your bubble but why are we referring to only one unsub  here, what makes us so sure its one person who has done this? Because lets be rational here guys the first girl was a school student and the second one was a young adult working class then the final girl was a prostitute, these people are very different people there isn't anything which links them together because if we look at statistics serial killers have a certain pattern they follow we all know that don't we" Fitz said as he looked at John

"In as much as it hurts to admit but Fitz is right because we have no evidence which points to one person" John said agreeing with Fitz

"No no but lets look at the case of the Puppet master  if you all recall he killed randomly which caused the police to find difficulty in finding him because they thought they were different people so if we want o be a step ahead of this guy or guys  we have to look at this or these cases from three angles, the first that it is one person, the second that they are different people then the last one that he or she is not alone I rest my case" Gerald said as took a seat at the back, he had been late for the briefing

" oh well now this brings us back to the drawing board doesn't it?" John said running his fingers through his hair

"Not quite actually because look at this Mary's body showed no bruise to prove any signs of struggle meaning she went with the unsub willingly then Getrude well she was a prostitute she also went freely but was later strangled, so what we can link between these two is that the unsub did not forcefully take these women so maybe these two might share a killer" Fitz said biting his lower lip

"I beg to differ" Sanchez said and everyone turned to her, she had been so quiet that no one noticed she was even in the room. She cleared her throat as a sign that she was continuing "i found water on Getrude's vagina, of which water is a fluid which is not secreted by the vagina. Seeing this i searched further and noticed that the unsub had sex with Getrude and thoroughly washed her vagina because i could not find a trace of foreign DNA afterwards he strangled her. So this means the killer might be different because Mary was suffocated with a poisonous gas while Getrude was strangled, these are two very different methods of killing so i would stand with the theory of back to the drawing board" she said and waited for a response

Fitz just nodded in agreement and everyone looked back at John who held the marker. He slowly rubbed his forehead then cleared his throat
"Okay so back to the drawing board, so we are going to divide ourselves into three groups and each group will work on one of the angles. We will have two members from the main team in each group and Fitz be situated in each team" he said

"I would like it better if you are overseeing the three groups ill be in one of them" Fitz said and John nodded

"Well you are all dismissed" John said and went to catch up with Fitz and the others who had been absent.

Meanwhile Augustine Sala sat on his bed in the small motel room he had rented after he had been kicked out of his previous apartment due to poor handling of property. He stared straight out the window into the room which was in the opposite building. He could see a woman the same age as Mary who was busy stripping for a man who held a bottle of brandy and was sniffing cocaine. Clenching his right fist he stood up and closed the curtains
"Damnit" he said to himself as he felt the urge to go and punish them for the sinful life they were living. He then went to the bathroom washed his face and came back and lay on his bed. As he lay there he began reliving the moments when he killed the four people he had killed (damnit man i did not want to kill you but you fought for a liar, a cheat) he thought as he remembered fighting with Tony how he had nearly lost the fight. He felt a sense of guilt for taking the young man's life but there was nothing he could do the kid left him no choice. Augustine Sala was an American citizen by citizenship, he was originally an Ethiopian who had been adopted by American parents. He was a heavily built man with a bald head and was a very well educated man who had majored in law and crime. Augustine slowly dozed off as he relived these events and finally fell asleep.
