Gone!

'Lindsey?' Catherine called just as she got in from work. 'Hey Linds you here?' silence. 'I wish you'd tell me if you're going out' she muttered to herself. Catherine went into the kitchen and dumped her bag on the side before turning round to find a note addressed to her. She smiled assuming it was from Lindsey. However when she opened it she found a poison pen note

'Bring $2 million to your daughters school at midnight tomorrow or else you'll get her back piece by piece'

Catherine was horrified. As she rummaged in her bag for her cell phone, tears started to pour down her cheeks. She flicked through her phone book wondering who to call. She knew that Grissom would probably be best but could she really face him right now. She could call Nick Warrick Sara Greg Jim but she didn't want to call anybody she just wanted her little girl back. Catherine slid down the wall and buried her face into her hands.

Grissom walked into the break room and scanned around. Sara Nick Warrick Greg… 'Where's Catherine' her asked a hint of worry in his voice. 'She hasn't arrived yet' Sara replied. Everyone checked their cells for any messages. Nothing. Grissom dialled Catherine's number. Everyone went silent. In fact it was so quiet that they could hear the ringing tone. After what seemed like forever Catherine picked up but before she could say anything Grissom jumped in. 'Catherine where are you? Are you ok? We're all so worried'

'Grissom?' Catherine said a quiver in her voice.

'Grissom it's Lindsey she's gone'

'Gone what do you mean gone?'

'Grissom I'm scared they said they we're going to kill her'
