Chapter 1: Action and Reaction

As Nick Stokes went to investigate the car that the couple had drove, Warrick questioned them both.

"So, the two of you both were at the Casino? At what time?" Warrick asked. The man and woman looked at each other. (Their names were Mike and Susan.)

"Well...we left around ten." Susan said, hesitantly. "So...I'd say about eleven thirty?" She looked at her boyfriend for support.

"Yea, eleven thirty." Mike answered. He was watching Nick. "Is he going to fix my car?"

"What's wrong with it?" Warrick asked, frowning. Nick finished looking inside the car, and went around towards the back to look at it.

"I'm not sure-" An explosion suddenly went off, blowing Nick away from the car. He landed a few feet away. Warrick, Susan, and Mike were knocked onto their feet and the cops all fell down as well. Warrick scrambled up, and immediatly yelled,

"We need an ambulance!"

"I'm on it!" A rookie cop shouted back, he scrambled up as well, and turned on his cell phone. "Hello...this is..." Whoever he was was lost to Warrick as he arrived at Nick's side. He was unconcious, and looked bad. Warrick got out his own cell phone, and speeddialed Brass.

(The bar thingie won't work, so I'll just do it this way!)

Sara and Catherine were about a hundred and fifty yards away from Warrick and Nick's crime scene. They both were doing another investigation as well. Sara was interviewing the suspect, and Catherine was investigating the suspects car.

"What's your name?" Sara asked the man. He was wearing black jeans, a plain white t-shirt that read, ROCK ON!, and tennis shoes. He looked a bit annoyed, but answered readily,

"My name's Jack Thomas. What's wrong with my car?" He added, looking back at Catherine. She was heading to the front of the car, and was intent on poping the hood open.

"Well..." Sara said, hesitantly. "I'm not sure, but I'm sure we can figure it out easily. A sudden explosion rocked the ground, as the car exploded, sending Catherine flying. She landed a few feet away. Sara and Jack were knocked onto the ground. There were no cops around, however. Jack helped Sara up, who ran towards Catherine. Jack followed.

"Catherine!" She said. Catherine was unconcious, and looked pretty banged up. Sara felt a chill as she looked back at the car. Jack took out his cell phone and started dialing for an ambulance.

(Bar thingie still won't work. Grrrrrrr.)

Grissom was walking down the hallway, when he heard something on the television that caught his attention.

"Two bombs occured today, where the CSI team were working on a case invoveling a murder." The newsperson said. "There were two injured CSI's, but none seriously hurt." Grissom's cell phone rang, and he answered it.

"Hello?" He asked.

"Hello, CSI. How'd you like my work?" A chilling voice asked. Grissom looked around, but no one was the least bit interested in him.

"Who are you?" Grissom asked.

"Just someone who wants my life back. The life that you stole from me. Give me twenty million by tomorrow at the Stone Head Park, and I'll consider shutting off the other bombs." Grissom frowned.

"What time?" The voice chuckled.

"Oh, yes...I suppose at noon would do." It said. Grissom started to ask another question, but the click of a dial tone cut him short. He felt a chill envelope him as he immediatly headed towards Archie's lab.

We're in big trouble. He thought.
