Three soccer stars are abducted and the unsub plays games while the B.A.U. desperately tries to narrow down the suspects.

In North Mammon, a close small town, a man abducts three girls who return from the boys football pep rally, and tells them to chose which of them will be killed. Girls soccer player Polly Chambers' mother gets Quantico agent Judy Homefeldt to convince the team to take the case and local Sheriff Yates to officially invite them, but on arrival he states the girls aren't even officially missing, as the mother is an unreliable depression patient. The elaborate preparation, including soothing messages to the parents mentioning Friday, convince the team it's the work of a local, who plausibly plans something relating to the football game, a long-awaited finale. This leaves various suspects to be eliminated, and it looks like the kidnapper planted false forensic material to incriminate innocent men. When Brooke gets sick, the other two decide to sacrifice her- they are given hammers to kill her, then released near the police...—KGF Vissers

A "friend of a friend" of J.J.'s, Judy Homefeldt makes a desperate plea to J.J. to help her find Polly Homefeldt, Brooke Chambers and Kelly Seymour who are Judy's daughter and Polly's best friends living in North Mammon, Pennsylvania. The three are high school seniors, just about to graduate, soccer stars and model students. Judy swears the threesome have been missing for five days, yet the authorities were not convinced that the girls were missing until they discover that the girls left two word-for-word identical and oddly worded telephone messages with their respective parents. Even with this evidence, the local police are still skeptical about the girls being abducted, but based on the telephone messages, the BAU believe that something will happen to the girls in two days, the night of a big championship high school football game. High school football has always been an all consuming passion of the town. The case is difficult for the BAU with which to proceed since North Mammon is a small town where everyone knows everyone, and knowing that one of their own is an abductor would lead to a witch hunt and vigilante-ism. As the case proceeds, the relations of North Mammon residents shows itself not to be as congenial as the residents would like to believe. Meanwhile, the girls are indeed being held against their will, their unknown male captor telling them that they must choose between the three who will die. The girls, who are being deprived of food and water, may end up being easy prey in the unsub's game.—Huggo
