CSI: LAST CHANCE
CHAPTER 1
Chapter 1 of my next CSI story, almost a year has passed since the birth of Susan Kennedy, the family are happy and it looks like nothing could go wrong, however things are about to change.
Dsiclaimer: I don't own CSI or it's characters.
It was a happy day for the Kennedy family, Sharon was now five, Susan nearly a year old. Sharon was currently watching TV while Lindsey fed Susan, Ed was reading the newspaper. It had soon transpired that Susan had inherited Ed's blindness however this did nothing to deter her curiosity. Ed sighed and Lindsey looked over at him.
"Something wrong?"
"Those conservatives, not all of them, just the one's that take things to far, stirring up trouble again".
Lindsey shook her head, while she had no intention to become directly involved in politics she knew Ed did and supported him in his efforts.
"They'll always be trouble, that's just the way some people are".
"Yeah I know, I just wish they would stop all the delusions about the President and all that, gets on my nerves".
"Tell me about it".
Once they were finished they walked through into the living room where Sharon was on the sofa watching TV. Sharon looked up and smiled as her family walked in.
"Hi Mommy, Daddy".
Hey sweetie".
At the sound of her sister's voice Susan smiled and waved over in her direction.
"Sharon".
Sharon smiled, recently Susan had managed to pronounce her r's and could now say Sharon's name properly.
"Hi Susan".
Lindsey sat down on the sofa next to her eldest daughter and Sharon took Susan's outstretched hand making her little sister laugh happily. Before Ed could sit down there was a knock at the door, he went to answer it.
Ed went to the door and answered it.
"Yes?"
"Mr. Kennedy, we're with the electric company, we're here to check the metre".
"Oh right, down in the basement, just down there".
"Thanks you".
Ed closed the door after them and walked back into the living room as they headed down to the basement. Lindsey looked up as he walked in.
"Who was it?"
"Electric company, here to check the meter".
"Oh right, okay".
Ed then sat down with his family as they continued to watch TV. A couple of minutes later he heard the footsteps of the men coming up the stairs, he stood up, as did Lindsey and went out into the hall. The men had just come up from the basement.
"Everything okay?"
The man who had spoken at the door spoke again, his voice sounded familiar to Ed somehow.
"Everything's fine thank you…"
There was a slight pause and then suddenly, to Lindsey's horror the men all drew weapons, one of them carrying a gun, Ed heard the sounds of the gun and realized what was wrong as the man spoke again.
"Now don't move".
"What's going on, who are you people".
The man walked up, the gun held at the ready, his three colleagues also walked up, one was also armed with a gun, the other two with knives.
"Shut up, or we'll hurt you, understand".
"What do you want?"
The leader of the group glared at Lindsey.
"I said shut up, we're calling the shots here, put that brat in her crib, now".
Luckily Susan was asleep and unaware of what was happening. Lindsey did as she was ordered, one of the men making sure she did it and bringing her back, then the men forced both of them into the living where Sharon was.
Sharon looked up and froze, terrified, when she saw her parents and the armed intruders.
"Mommy, Daddy?"
The lead man glared.
"Shut that brat up".
"Sharon it's okay, just don't say anything, do as they tell you and everything will be fine".
Sharon nodded fearfully. The men then led Ed and Lindsey to stand in front of the couch, facing it.
"Okay brat, on your feet, come stand next to your parents, facing the same way".
Trembling Sharon did as she was told and stood next to her parents, the lead man then signalled to his colleagues and they each approached one of the family. Before long Ed, Lindsey and Sharon were sitting on the couch, their hands tied behind their backs, their legs tied together, Sharon was shaking with fear while Ed and Lindsey, although terrified tried to be strong for their daughter's sake. Ed glared at the man in charge.
"Who are you people?"
The lead man sighed and shook his head, he then spoke, looking at Lindsey to gauge her reaction as he revealed who they were.
"We are the avengers of Beatriz Salazar".
Lindsey's eyes widened in terror, Salazar, the female Mexican drug lord who had kidnapped her years ago and tortured her. Salazar was the reason Lindsey was missing the upper par of her left ear, and now these men, who must've been part of her group, had come in revenge for Salazar's death.
"Why are you…?"
"Quiet, we'll deal with you in time girl, don't worry the kids are safe, we're not that depraved".
Lindsey swallowed in fear, they intended to kill her, the man then continued.
"You're allowed to live for now, we need you and your family as bait, to lure in your mother".
Lindsey now realized what was going on, they would try and lure her mother into a trap and then kill her, they would then kill her but leave Sharon and Susan alone.
"What's gonna happen to Ed?"
"You're husband's survival depends on how well he cooperates".
Ed glared at the leader who then pulled out a phone and then smirked.
"Time make our demands, we'll go through to the kitchen and phone the girls' mother. Untie the boy's legs, bring him through, we'll use him to make our demands".
"What?"
The man's colleagues untied Ed's legs, stood him up and forced him to walk into the kitchen with the leader, who was now about to call Catherine.
