Plot Summary

Garrison receives an e-mail from Fred Duncan asking him to come to St. Louis to investigate a potential serial killer who might be specifically stalking mutants. After his arrival in St. Louis and discussion with the lead investigators, he determines that he's going to need help with this challenge. However, one of the victims was an acquaintance of Julian Kellor, who Kane gets to accompany Logan and Kitty down to the city. They meet with the victim's parents, getting information regarding a kidnapping for profit plot and information with which to potentially trap the parties responsible. Meanwhile, Kitty and Logan break into the morgue, trying to glean further details from the body.

Logan and Kane arrange a trap and follow the money drop back to an apartment and successfully hold Steven Westcott for arrest. The apartment has evidence of the victims and the sexual assault against them and Westcott is arrested for their kidnappings and murders. However, when Kitty and Kane come in to speak with him in his cell that night, he reveals that it was an unnamed partner that did most of the actions, including murdering the victims, which Westcott wasn't aware about being part of the plan. He surrenders the location of his only point of contact; a cell phone in a PO Box.

The X-Men retrieve the phone and trace it to an empty for sale home in the suburbs.
