Chapter 1 - Kidnap and Arrest
There were sounds of sirens wailing through the big city of Las Vegas as Captain Jim Brass and a group of police men were in front of a regular suburban house. Behind Jim Brass were two people not just any two people but CSI's; Dr. Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle of Night Shift the Clark County, Nevada CSI forensics team. Brass started banging on the door while saying, "This is the Police, we have a search warrant so open up!" Since no one had answered the door Brass rammed the door open. "We know you're in here Mr. Grey!" "It seems as if no one is here sir." A police man answered. "Well, search the place men he couldn't have gotten far." When the police man had left Brass said to Sara and Grissom, "Jeez, we can barely ever get any good help these days." But Grissom wasn't listening to him for he heard something else. "Do you guys hear that?" He asked. "Sounds like cracking noises from under us." Sara said. Brass then signalled two policemen to go downstairs with him. When they were just outside the door to the basement room, Brass kicked the door open and shouted "Las Vegas Police! You are under arrest put your hands up!" The two policemen behind Brass held their guns up aimed at a man who had a whip at hand. The man dropped the whip and raised his hands up. Officers can you escort this man out of here." Brass said. The Police men then cuffed the man (Mr. Grey) and then headed out.
Grissom and Sara then joined Brass downstairs but when they saw what was at the far side of the wall, the three were shocked. Sara shouted, "Get some paramedics! Now!" They had seen a nasty sight. A girl of around seventeen was chained to the wall; her clothes were soaked with blood. Her face had a scar going diagonally down from her forehead past her right eye and down to her chin. She had black hair with brown highlights; her eyes were of an onyx colour. Grissom walked up to the girl and said "It's going to be ok we're going to get you down from there." In a hoarse tone the girl muttered "The key…. It's on the desk." Grissom went towards the desk and spotted the key. He gave the key to Sara and Sara started to unlock the chains. When she had unlocked all the chains the girl fell from the wall luckily Grissom had caught her. "Thank You" she whispered before she past out. Grissom then carried her out of the house bridal style followed by Sara. Grissom then placed her on a stretcher from there the paramedics took over and were on their way to the hospital. "Poor kid," Brass said "Grissom did you get her name?" "No, but I'll get it once she wakes up." Grissom answered. "Should I do it or do you want to do it Griss?" Sara asked. "I'll do it," Grissom replied "Sara you head back to the lab I'll paged you when I find out what her name it." So then Sara headed back for the lab and Grissom headed for the hospital.
A few hours later, at the hospital Grissom was sitting on a chair next to the hospital bed of the girl. Even though it was only a few minutes Grissom felt as if it were as long as hours waiting for the girl to wake up. He started pacing from left to right in the room. The girl started to stir. She blinked a few times. She sat up straight and saw Grissom. She asked "Where am I?" Grissom stopped pacing and looked at her and replied "It good to see that you're awake and to answer your question we're at the hospital but I have a question for you." He walked to the chair and sat down while saying "So what's your name?" The girl just started pulling her knees towards her chest and answered in a small voice "My name is Mariah, Mariah Lee." "It's nice to meet you Mariah, do you mind if I asked you more question?" "No, Sir" "You can call me Grissom." "No, I don't mind Mr. Grissom." She answered. "Do you have any parents?" "I do but,I don't know whether they are alive or not Mr. Grissom, Mr. Grey kidnapped me when I was six years old." "I'm sorry about that Mariah" "Don't be it's not your fault that I got kidnapped," Mariah said with a miniscule smile on her face but it faded when continued "But now that I'm free from him I have no where to go." "Well until we find your parents Mariah you can stay with us." Grissom said. "Who's us?" She asked "When I mean us I mean CSI's." "Ok."
After that a doctor came in a said "Dr. Grissom, the child here can go now if you want to take her but she has to apply this cream and change her bandages every day other than that she needs to wear an eyepatch on her right eye, it needs rest, we already did the bandages for today so don't forget to change them later," The doctor held up a bag with rolls of bandages and a tube of cream. Grissom then took the bag and said to Mariah "I'll wait for you outside." He then left the room. "Your clothes and the eyepatch are in the washroom child we washed them for you already." The doctor said. "Thank You" Mariah said while heading to the wash room. Later she came out with her eyepatch on and all dressed in her clothes; A black hoodie, a pair of jeans and sneakers. "Do you have any belongings you want to get back at the house Mariah?" Grissom asked. "I would like to get a few things please." Mariah said to Grissom. They then headed for a black SUV. Grissom started the engines and steered his way to the house.
Half an hour later, they came to the front of the house. Grissom and Mariah walked out of the SUV and walked to the house but before Mariah touched the door handle she stopped "Is something wrong?" Grissom asked. "Mr. Grey usually puts a booby trap on the door whenever I come in, he said that it was all part of my training." "Don't worry it's safe, we checked the door when we came here to arrest him before and what do you mean by training?" Grissom asked. "Can I tell you about that after we get my things, please?" Mariah said. Grissom being a softie on the inside when it comes to kids said "Ok, Mariah." She opened the door, walked in and then walked upstairs to her room. Her room was very small it was about the size of two regular sized beds pushed together but the ceiling was very high up. It must have been at least three metres going up! Two parallel sides of the walls were shelves, the other two walls were just walls. (--') From underneath her bed she grabbed a back pack and then started climbing up the wall (Not like Spiderman ppl!) How? She used her legs to push one side of the wall and her back on the other. She slowly climbed up and grabbed the objects of the shelves; four shirts, five pair of pants, underwear, daily essentials (toothbrush, toothpaste etc.) one pair of PJs, a can hold twenty-four CDs case, a walkman, a sketchbook, pencil case, a book titled The Thief Lord, an A4 sized notepad and a small black box. Inside the box it contained a locket. Inside the locket was the only picture she had of her parents. Suddenly Grissom came in and said "Mariah are you in here?" "Up here Mr. Grissom." Mariah said while slowly climbing back down. Grissom looked up and then said in shock "Mariah, what in the world are you doing!" "I'm getting my things Mr. Grissom you're not mad at me are you?" she said while she landed on the floor. "I'm not angry, I was just surprised to see you up there!" "I'm sorry but it's just a habit, I do this all the time because Mr. Grey told me to do this, he said that it was good exercise." "Oh," Grissom said bluntly "You ready to go now?" "Yes." Mariah answered in her small yet faint voice.
The two went out of the house and headed for the black SUV. Grissom sat down on the driver's seat while Mariah was next to him at the front passenger seat. They both fastened their seat belts but before Grissom started the car Mariah asked, "Mr. Grissom can I ask you a question?" "Sure" Grissom asked wondering what it would be. She then said very slowly in a shy way while twiddling her finger "Are your co-workers just as nice as you are?" Grissom looked at the petite girl and answered "Most of them are just as nice or nicer than I am." Grissom answered honestly as he thought of Conrad Ecklie (That dude is definitely not a cool guy --) "That's good to know." Mariah said quietly. Grissom then thought about what the girl said and thought as he started the car. "Poor Girl, I hope she gets along with everyone."
