Wilton Manors, Florida

9:06 PM

The Rainbow Colonnades

267 Freedom Dr.

The Johnson Residence

Kimberly Johnson was happy to finally be home, she thought to herself, as she pulled into the garage of her newly purchased two-story home with her newlywed wife of six days -Megan.

It had been a very difficult day at the law firm where Kimberly worked and the case she was defending was her toughest yet; she had to convince a jury that her client, a teenage girl had NOT ordered the killings of her entire family because they forbid her to see her boyfriend, even though the evidence against her was overwhelming.

Kimberly, could not get the images of the slaughtered family, out her mind and she needed to see Megan's face; smile and greet her, just as she had done every night since they moved into their new home.

A home where the price was a steal, as the developer has just built the single family homes in a in a two block cul de sac, in an effort to further gentrify the area.

Kimberly and Megan, loved their home, as it was located in one of Florida's most highly populated LGBTQIA cities and most of their new neighbors were LGBT, as well. She didn't even let the fact that two gay couples had been murdered in this neighborhood prior to her and Megan moving in. She figured that was another reason why the price of the home was so cheap.

Megan was a little worried but Kimberly had convinced her that there was nothing to worry about, as they had a higher chance of winning the lottery than being murdered in their homes.

She parked into their two car garage but waited until Shake It Off by Taylor Swift had ended. A song she blasted and song along to at the top of her lungs on the drive home.

"Hello?"

Kimberly called out to her wife, as she entered the house through the garage and was in the kitchen.

Kimberly turned on the kitchen light and placed her purse, briefcase and car and house keys on the marble counter.

"Honey? Megan?"

After no one answered back, Kimberly figured Megan had not made it home from her job, as the director of a non-profit that helped the marine life of the Florida seas.

Kimberly decided to run a hot shower and grabbed a wine glass and her favorite bottle of Merlot and headed upstairs, as she tied up her hair.

As she allowed the water to fall from the large shower-head, Kimberly could not shake the bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

That's when she heard the noise.

"Hello?" Megan?"

Kimberly yanked back the shower curtain and the bathroom was empty.

She grabbed the white towel and wrapped it around herself and just as she slowly opened the bathroom door, she was grabbed around the waist-

"Oh my gosh!" shouted Kimberly, as she looked in the face of her beautiful wife.

"Hey baby," said Megan, as she kissed Kimberly on the lips.

"You scared me."

"I'm sorry...I wanted to surprise you in the shower."

Kimberly shook her head. "It's OK. I'm just a little bit jumpy tonight, after the case I'm working on."

"Aww sweetie...I would love to hear about it. Let me grab a wine glass and join you in the shower. Be right back. Don't start without me," teased Megan.

"Well, you better hurry back then."

The couple kissed again and Megan walked away to grab a wine glass and Kimberly threw the towel down on the floor and got back into the shower.

"My mom called today," shouted Kimberly. "She wants us to come for a visit this summer."

"Greeat," shouted back Megan from downstairs.

"I know you and her don't really get along but I really want you to come along?"

Silence

"C'mon, I know what she did at our wedding but she sounded really apologetic."

Silence

"Megan?"

Silence

"Megan, answer me."

Silence

The bad feeling in the pit of Kimberly's stomach had returned.

She slowly walked out the shower and picked up the towel and headed downstairs. "Megan."

Kimberly slowly headed downstairs and could see the wine glass on the floor of the kitchen and the fridge was open.

Kimberly slowly rounded the corner and saw blood and then hand of her wife who was laying on the kitchen floor.

"Oh my God! MEGAN!"

Kimberly ran to her wife and saw all the blood and stab wombs.

Just then she heard footsteps behind her and as she turned around to run, she was grabbed around the waist but this time it was not her wife.

All she could do as she saw the shiny glint of the wide blade was think about the images of her client's slaughtered family and scream.


Saturday

Quantico, Virginia

1:25pm

The team of the FBI profilers known as the Behavior Analyst Unit were filing into the large conference room at their headquarters in Quantico.

The Unit Chief Aaron Hotcher was already in the room along with a female agent that none of the other members of the team recognized.

"Sorry, to pull each of you away from your families and weekend plans but the Field Office in Florida need our help," started Hotch. "This is SSA Kimber Hodge who heads the Hate Crime Unit in Miramar."

Morgan was the first to speak.

"Hate crime? That's not really our specialty."

"I know Agent Morgan and I am aware of the plethora of cases that needs the BAU attention but as your Unit Chief stated, we could really use a hand on this one..."

She clicked the white remote and images flooded the large plasma screen monitor mounted to the wall in front of the team.

"Last night, at around ten pm, newlywed couple Kimberly and Megan Johnson were brutality murdered in their home. The MO was quite brutal. Megan's throat was slit and Kimberly was stabbed so many times, the blade broke off."

The team squirmed in their seat, with Tech Analyst Penelope Gracia partially hiding her face, as she always did when the team presented their cases.

SSA Luke Alvez was the next to speak.

"So you believe, this couple was murdered because they were gay?"

"Oh we know they were," replied agent Hodge, as she again, pressed the button on the remote and more images of two other murdered couples appeared on the screen.

"In the last month, two other couples were murdered, in their homes, in a similar manner. Matt and Jeff Jenkins, were also newlyweds, married for a little under a year and Keith Harbor and Steven Jacobs were recently engaged, both couples were found murdered in the homes, both had been stabbed multiple times, with Keith and Steven being castrated."

"Ouch," remarked Alvez.

SSA David Rossi nodded his head and spoke, "Serial. Now that's our specialty. This Unsub has clear anger issues"

Genius and Doctor SSA Spencer Reid spoke up next, "Wilton Manors is one of the leading cities catering to the LGBT community. It is highly uncommon for hate crimes, such as these to occur in that city, however according to the bureau Anti-LGBTQ hate crimes are up 3 percent nationally. Victims targeted due to their sexual orientation or gender identity compromised over one-thousand four hundred and seventy or nearly seventeen percent of all victims."

"In addition to being young, educated, affluent and proud LGBTQ activist, all of our couples had one other thing in common," said Hotch, as he motioned to agent Hodge to bring up the next slide.

Images of a beautiful Cul de Sac in Wilton Manors flooded the screen.

"Each of our couples had all recently moved into a newly built suburban neighborhood called -The Rainbow Colonnade."

"That is so cool," said Garcia. The pun of the name not being lost.

"So, our Unsub is targeting gay couples that all live in the same Cul de Sac," recapped Morgan.

SSA Emily Prentiss was the next to speak up and teased.

"Anyone else feel, as if we just landed in the Twilight Zone and woke up in a bad episode of Desperate Housewives."

SSA Jennifer Jareau was the next to speak.

"Are we sure these are hate crimes? The fact that all three couples had just recently moved into the same community, is certainly not a coincidence."

"That's what we are going to figure out. Due to the Rainbow Colonnade angle both agent Hodge and I thought it be best if some of us went undercover on this one. Reid and Morgan... JJ and Prentiss both of you will pose as newlywed married couples that move into the neighborhood."

"Awww how sweet," teased Garcia, "Can I be both of your maid of honors."

"I throw the bachelor party," teased Rossi.

Prentiss turns to the blonde haired JJ. "I hope you don't snore," she teased.

"Oh ask Will, I certainly do."

Morgan turned to Reid."Well Pretty Boy, you better have a nice ring for me."

After everyone had their laughs, Hotch continued with the undercover assignments.

"Alvez, you will be going undercover with the construction team that is building and renovating the houses. Agent Hodge will give you each your background covers and we are off to Florida. Let's make sure this Unsub does not claim anymore victims. Wheels up in 30."
