A/N: So, here it is! The long awaited Criminal Minds fanfiction! I don't really have any other news, so I'm going to get right to the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds or the adorkable Dr. Reid. I am not an FBI agent, just a paranoid fan who thinks there are killers stalking her everywhere. Thank you!

"Reid?" came Derek Morgan's husky voice.
Spencer Reid set down the psychology book that he had been reading and looked up at Morgan. "Yes?"
"Hotch wants us to meet in the conference room."
"New case?" asked Reid, shutting his book and standing up. Morgan nodded.
"Yeah, and it doesn't look pretty," Morgan murmured.
"It can't be any worse than the other cases we've solved," Reid commented quietly. Morgan shrugged.
The two walked into the conference room and took their seats. As soon as they had, JJ began to speak, presenting the case to them.
"We've been contacted by the Nevada PD. There has been three abductions and three murders and they can't catch the victim. The body of the most recent victim was found yesterday, an hour from the Nursing Home that she was abducted from."
The picture of her body appeared on the T.V. It was extremely mangled and bloodied.
"Betty Ann Warner, 82 years old, was a patient in the Nevada Nursing Home. No one noticed she was missing until the nurse went to give her medication and found her room empty."
"Wait a minue," Morgan interrupted. "You're telling me that our unsub just took this woman out of a highly trafficked Nursing Home without anyone seeing her?"
"The Nevada PD looked into the Nursing Home's log and discovered that Betty Ann Warner had been checked out by a man named Erik Kellen checked her out to go on a picnic at Angel Park, where her body was later discovered." JJ finished.
"He most likely used a false identity and claimed to be a friend or a member of her church," began Reid. "That's the common ruse for serial killers who target senior citizens."
"The second victim is Ruby Erickson, 75, a patient from a mental facility nearby. She had an extreme case of Alzheimer's doubled with extreme hallucinations. She went missing and her body turned up later in a wildlife reserve."
"This guy is intelligent. He knows how to lure a victim as well as cover his tracks," Emily Prentiss thought out loud.
"The third victim is Goldie Peterson, 85 years old, a patient who received homecare. Her nurse went to visit her home to assist her last week and found her house empty. She placed a call to 911. The Nevada PD searched and found her body in a nearby forest."
"Does the fact that this guy preys on senior citizens tell us that he's impotent or just has something against the elderly, possibly stemming from his grandparents?" mused Rossi.
No one answered his question.
"There is one last thing. At each disposal site, the unsub left a message. It was carved into trees and then highlighted with what appears to be blood of the victim." The next slide on the T.V. appeared. Prentiss covered her mouth in horror.
"Oh my God," she whispered. Hotch began reading them out loud.
"The first one was found at Goldie Peterson's disposal site: 'Who makes himself a sheep will be eaten by the wolves'."
"A proverb. This guy appears to be well-read," Reid declared.
"The second was found at Ruby Erickson's disposal site: 'Now the hungry lion roars, and the wolf behowls the moon'," Hotch read.
"A quote from A Midsummer-Night's Dream by William Shakespeare," Reid spoke up, his face troubled.
"The last one was found at Betty Ann Warner's disposal site: 'For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack'," Hotch finished.
"Rudyard Kipling," Reid murmured. "All of the quotes have a connection to wolves. Maybe this guy thinks he's taking out the weaker members of society, like a wolf pack leader who is ridding his pack of the weak wolves," Reid thought out loud.
"It's possible," said Rossi. "We're flying down there now. See you all in the jet in fifteen."
Reid was packing his books into his book bag when his cell phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and checked the caller I.D. It read "Bennington Sanitarium".
"Hello?" he answered his phone. A female voice sounded on the other line.
"Dr. Spencer Reid?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" he asked. The woman's voice seemed shaky.
"This morning I was going to deliver your letter to your mother. I walked into her room to find that it was empty. I had security check the whole building. Diana Reid is missing."
