     Klaus sighed, having left Stefan's side only for a moment to discuss the vampire's next plan of action with his brother and Marcel. A few rogue witches had looked into the Hybrid's past and discovered his few weak spots- one of those being Stefan Salvatore. In an attempt to hurt Klaus, they'd lured him into Ne Orleans and tortured him for a couple days before the news spread and got back to Klaus. With little struggle, Klaus was able to save Stefan and kill his captors. He'd brought his old friend back to safety, sitting by his side as he waited for the damage to heal.

"Oh sorry, I didn't see you. Umm.. Did you say anything, I was ah.. I was a bit wrapped up in my own mind."

The longer Mark stared at the case file the more questions he had. Four victims, exsanguinated, ripped apart then put back together like the pieces of a broken doll. It didn't make sense. There were no tool marks to explain how the bodies were pulled apart, from what the coroner could determine the bones were snapped like a child snaps a twig. The victims showed no cuts or puncture wounds beyond one deep bite usually around the throat. It seemed the unsub was a bitter, though he was having trouble figuring out why.

What did the unsub get out of bitting the victims? Did it have to do with the blood loss? The fact that they were a bitter worked in getting them DNA, but the only hits they got were what alerted them to the other cases. That's not including the ones that the analyst were looking for across the country that matched the M.O. So far they only had the four victims across two different states for sure, and three other possibles so far.
