Fingerprints.
Shock.
She pushed back harder, feeling his breathe hit her face. The man shoved her hands against the cold brick wall of the Illinois 'Beats' club. His piercing blue eyes bore into her.
She grunted in pain as her attacker hit her across the face. Right when she was going to resort to calling out, he grabbed a cloth out of his pocket.
Her gut instinct knew exactly what it was. The smell of the fresh chloroform reached her nose, burning as it did. The cloth covered her face and she felt the edges of her world fade away from her.
The last thing she saw in the rain soaked alley was the neon bar sign before she faded into complete darkness.

The phone rang in the other room, daring him to move. He was tired, but he knew it was probably important. Shifting to stand up out of bed, Greg padded into his living room.
His cell phone screen was bright in the forced darkness of his apartment. He scooped it off the table and looked at the screen.
Seeing the all too familiar number, he picked up without hesitation.
"Hey Cath." He said groggily, his body yearning for more sleep. He heard her sigh on the other end.
Knowing what she probably needed, he asked, despite her silence.
"You need me to come in for a case?"
His eyes became slightly more adjusted as some mid-day sun peeked in through the thick black curtains.
"Ya... It's a kidnapping." Greg felt his finger twitch. He hated those. "Technically we shouldn't be on the case but I made Ecklie allow it." Catherine said seeming worried.
Greg knew what that meant. He knew that meant they knew the victim. He felt a few drips of fear fall to his heart. The same fear that had consumed him when Sara and Nick had been kidnapped.
Trying to stay calm he responded slightly louder than before.
"Who is it?" But he was greeted by a quiet Catherine. He could her her breath increase.
"Who is it, Catherine?" He asked again, his heart ready to freeze over. And it did.
"Riley Adams."
Her voice turned him to ice. Not Riley. Not her of all people. This couldn't be happening. She was in Illinois right?
A million questions flooded his mind in the millisecond of total shock.
"What?"
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :) If this was an episode it would have gone to the theme song from there. :D I know it sounds stupid, but i can totally see that as an opening scene. Not the thoughts in their heads of course:) Any way... I'll be back with more! :D
