I'm not going to spend a lot of time on the first victim. I just want to get to the point.
In the night of Las Vegas, a young woman was murdered in her own home. Next to her body was a miniature of the crime scene. D.B Russell and his team arrived to the scene, not knowing what was behind the door. Brass walks up to the team and explains what happened.
Brass: The victim's name is Lucy Johnson. 23 years old and works as a cocktail waitress at the Tangiers. Her friend over there couldn't get here to answer her phone, so she called 911. The police had to break in. The weird thing is there's a miniature of the crime scene in her bedroom.
D.B: A what?
Brass: A miniature of the scene. Six years ago four people were murdered by the miniature killer aka Natalie Davis. After she killed them, she would leave a miniature of the scene.
Sara hearing this took off to the Tahoe and got in. Nick and Greg took off after her to comfort her.
Nick: Sara it's going to be okay. Natalie is still in prison she is not going to hurt you.
Sara: You don't know that Nick. I don't think I can work this case with these memories resurfacing.
Greg: I'll talk to D.B to get you off this case.
Greg went in search of D.B who was already in the vic's bedroom. He walked over to him who was studying the miniature.
D.B: Is Sara okay?
Greg: She wants off the case.
D.B: Why?
Greg: Sara was kidnapped by Natalie, pinned under a car and left out in the desert to die.
D.B: Ok, why don't you take Sara home? Tell her she will have the rest of the week off. Under the certain circumstances, I don't want her to break down because of the miniature.
Greg left the bedroom and went outside to take Sara home. When they got to the townhouse, Sara thanked Greg and went inside. Sara expected to meet Hank at the door but for some reason he wasn't at the door. Sara went for her gun but before she could react, a cloth covered her mouth and nose. She started to struggle but within seconds, she blacked out.
Back at the crime scene, Greg and Nick were going around the perimeter. Morgan and Finn were inside with D.B processing the bedroom.
Finn: No blood spatters of any kind.
Morgan: Well that means she could have been poisoned. I don't see any ligature marks on her neck either.
Finn: The killer could have strangled her with his bare hands.
After a lot of digging and interviewing, the ex-boyfriend confessed to killing Lucy because she refused to let him back into her life, but insisted he had nothing to do with the miniature.
Sara woke up with a splitting headache. She looked around and saw that she was in a basement. She was naked, bruised, and beaten, she figured that she was raped and beaten when she was unconscious. In the corner of the basement was a mattress with a blanket. She took the blanket from the mattress and covered herself up. Above her, she could hear footsteps. They were getting closer until they stopped at the door. The door opened and her kidnapper was coming down the stairs.
Kidnapper: I see that you're awake. I've been enjoying raping you; care for another round?
Sara: What do you want from me?
Kidnapper: I want you to suffer for getting my foster sister arrested and sent to prison.
Sara: You're Natalie's foster brother?
Kidnapper: Yes I am.
The kidnapper grabbed Sara, threw her on the mattress and tied her wrists to the wall with rope. He removed the blanket from her body, took off his pants and underwear and slammed his penis into her opening. He was being really rough, slamming himself into her over and over again, pulling on her hair and slapping her face. When he was done, he put his pants and underwear back on, untied her wrists and threw the blanket onto her bruised, beaten body. He went upstairs, turned off the lights, and left her to cry.
At the lab, D.B took a phone number out of his desk drawer and dialed the number. The phone began to ring and a tire sounding voice answered the phone.
Grissom: Hello?
D.B: Is this Gil Grissom?
Grissom: Yes it is and may I ask whose calling?
D.B: This is D.B Russell from the Las Vegas Crime Lab. I'm calling in regards about your wife Sara.
Grissom: Is Sara okay?
D.B: No she's not. She's missing.
Grissom: Missing, what do you mean she's missing?
D.B: No one has seen or heard from her in a week. I had two CSIs go to your townhouse and when they got there, the place was a mess. They also found a miniature of the scene and they also were able to locate your dog Hank, who was tied up in the backyard.
Grissom: I will be on the next flight to Vegas.
With that, they both hung up. D.B went to the break room to tell the team what's going to happen.
D.B: Okay, here's the deal. Gil Grissom is coming to Vegas on the next flight from Peru. He is going to be helping us find his wife. Nick and Greg, you go back to the townhouse and process everything. I want to know what happened. Morgan and Finn, you go process that miniature every square inch of that thing. I will hook up with Brass to do a suspect list from Sara's previous cases since Natalie is still in prison.
Grissom was a mess, he was afraid for his wife, his beautiful, young wife. The last time he saw his wife was a month ago. They were starting to talk about having a family, but with their ages, and their work keeping them apart, they didn't think it would ever happen. If he ever lost his wife, he would not know what to do. It took him a lifetime to find the right girl to fall in love with and marry. After the family talk, Grissom looked at different job positions after he was done with Peru. He found a job that was perfect for him; a job at WLVU in their entomology department.
He called the university and he was hired for the job. He told them after his time is Peru was up he was going to call them to work out a schedule. That meant he was going to be at home with his wife, Hank, and finally try for a family.
In the basement Sara lay on the cold floor, with tears staining her cheeks. She was sore and hungry and she was missing her husband. In her head, she thought that she may never see him again or able to try for a family. Did he even know that she was missing? Did the team know? What about Brass and the rest of the department? Her kidnapper left hours ago, so Sara tried to find a way out. When she found none, she went to lie on the mattress on fell asleep.
The next morning, Grissom made it to the lab. The moment he step foot in the lab, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at him with sad looks on their faces. He walked to D.B's office and knocked on the door.
D.B: Come in.
Grissom: Do you have any idea who kidnapped my wife?
D.B: No we don't. We will find your wife I promise you we will.
