Archie suppressed a groan as he felt the little hand of his four year old daughter Kaylee Dawn Johnson-Sanders poke him in the side. "MMM, whatcha want, Kaylee Doll?"

"It's time to get up, Daddy. Papa's made coffee and bweakfast and said for me to wake you," Kaylee explained. Archie let out a sigh as he sat up and rubbed his eyes in an attempt to get the sleep out of them.

"I'm up but you think its fun to wake up your Daddy, do you?" Archie asked his daughter as he began to tickle her.

"Papa, help me," Kaylee cried through her giggles. Greg came into the room and a huge smile came to his face at the sight of his lover and their little girl rolling around on the bed laughing.

"Ok I will help you, Kay," Greg replied as he climbed on the bed and began to tickle Archie, catching him off guard.

"Trader," Archie said as he tried to bat Greg's hands away but Greg could see the smile he was fighting taking over. After a bit they stopped tickling each other and Greg leaned in for a kiss.

"MMM, hey, babe," Archie murmured into his ear.

"Hey yourself, c'mon you gotta get up," Greg said tugging on Archie's hand. Archie just grumbled good naturedly as he got up and followed his entire world into the kitchen. He smiled as he saw Greg lift their daughter up and sit her on the counter. As Archie sat down to have some coffee and eggs he thought back to the last three years. He and Greg had been going out sense right after the lab explosion. Archie had been harboring a crush on Greg for quite a while but he was afraid of Greg's reaction. However, after the explosion he decided to lay all of his cards on the table and he was pleasantly surprised to find out that Greg had a crush on him as well. They had been together for about a year when they started talking about adoption. As if by some stroke of luck one of Greg's good friends from College, Amy who he still talked to frequently was a social worker and had a little girl who had just lost her parents in a car accident. They had flown to San Francisco and met two year old beautiful blonde green eyed Kaylee Dawn and fell in love instantly and she was adopted right then and their.

"Arch you ok?" Greg asked with concern as he stared at his lover who was in deep thought.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm just fine I was just thinking about how we wound up with this little one," Archie explained as he ruffled the little girls hair and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Well we gotta get going, go get your backpack and put your shoes on, Kaylee," Greg said as he got up and with Archie's help cleared the table. Finally after about five more minutes they were on their way to Kaylee's babysitters and the crime lab for what promised to be a night that neither of them would soon forget.

"You be a good little girl, and Daddy and I will be back to pick you up in the morning ok, Kaylee?" Greg asked as he gave her a hug and kiss.

"Ok I love you, Papa," Kaylee said as she returned the hug and kiss. Then she turned to Archie. "Bye bye I love you, Daddy," Kaylee said as she gave him a hug and kiss as well. Archie didn't know why but he hugged her back extra tight. Finally he let her go after telling her that he loved her and she scampered into the house and ran towards the TV.

"You guys be careful and I will see you in the morning," Kaylee's babysitter Angie replied as the guys turned and headed back to the car.

Archie rubbed his blurry eyes. If he had to stare at the videotapes of the parking lot of Target for one more second he was going to go crazy. A hit and run had occurred their leaving the woman who was hit in the parking lot dead and left Archie trying to use the videotapes to get the plates of the car who had hit her. Just as he stood up to head too the break room for a coffee break he heard a commotion in the hall. Archie headed out into the hall to see what was going on.

"Nicky, calm down and tell me what happened!" came Grissom's voice as he stared at Nick.

"Greg was processing the perimeter of the scene when I heard him call out and saw a struggle. Our suspect was standing their with a gun to his head and every time I tried to get him to drop it he just held it against Greg's temple that much harder. He must have known that I had a gun and could have shot him, because he said take out your gun and kick it away. I had no choice, Grissom so I did it. Then he grabbed Greg by the arm and dragged him to the car and threw him in the backseat. I tried to help, Griss. I swear I did," Nick said softly.

"I know you did everything you could the suspect had the gun and the upper hand," Grissom said reassuringly. By this time they had gathered quite an audience. At first no one realized that Archie was in the hall with in hearing distance of the night shift supervisor and Nick. All of a sudden Bobby noticed him and ran forward just as Archie's legs gave out and he began to fall to the ground. The movement caught everyone's attention and Nick ran forward to help his lover catch Archie.

"Hey take it easy, Archie. Just take it easy," Bobby said soothingly as he helped Archie remain standing with Nick's help.

"How did this happen, Nicky?"

"I don't know he just showed up out of no where, man. I am so sorry, Archie."

"It's not your fault you did everything you could I know that," Archie said. Just then Grissom walked up.

"Archie, go home your off this case."

"No I have to be on this case, Grissom, please." Grissom looked at Archie's pleading eyes and then gave a resigned sigh.

"Very well, but if I see you can't handle it your off of it, is that clear?"

"Yes it is, loud and clear. Do we have any surveillance tapes to look at Nicky?"

"Yeah here you go, Arch," Nick said as he handed Archie the tapes. Archie just gave him a nod of thanks before heading back into his lab to start analyzing the tapes in the hope that he would find something that would help rescue his lover and end this nightmare he was living in.

The next time Archie looked at the clock he was surprised to see that it was 7:30 in the morning. He stretched and sighed. Just then Jacqui poked her head in.

"Hey you got anything, Archie?"

"Hey, Jacqui, no not a thing, What about you?"

"No but I'm still running prints. Don't worry we'll find him, sweetie."

"Thanks, I'm trying to keep believing that," Archie said as he drew in a shaky breath.

"I know but you have to believe it. I'll take care of Kaylee if you need me to?"

"Oh my gosh I forgot to call Angie and tell her that we won't be picking her up and that I need her to keep watching her," Archie exclaimed as he reached for his phone.

"Doesn't she have preschool today?"

"No the teacher is on vacation this week."

"Well if you want I'll watch her when I'm done with my shift.

"Ok thanks, Jacqui."

"No problem," Jacqui replied as she patted him on the shoulder then walked out. After Jacqui left Archie punched in Angie's number and waited for her to pick up. When she did he could hear that Kaylee and her two four year old twin girls Liz and Leah were wide awake.

"Hey Angie, it's me Archie."

"Hey Arch, what's up?"

"Well I'm calling you to tell you that we need you to watch Kaylee at least for a while longer."

"Sure no problem, but why?" Archie stared at the phone trying to figure out how to tell her.

"Greg's been kidnapped and I have to stay and look at the surveillance tapes.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, sweetie. I'll watch her as long as you need me to. I'm sure that some of the girl's clothes will fit her."

"Thanks and Angie?" Archie asked.

"Yeah?"

"Just tell her that we had to work late, ok? I don't want her to know that he's missing," Archie said as his voice cracked at the end.

"Sure I understand. I have to go give them breakfast, but keep me posted, ok Archie?"

"Will do, and thanks Angie."

"Don't worry about it, talk to you later," Angie said as she hung up and headed into the kitchen to fix her daughters and her young charge breakfast.

"Can we go outside, Mommy?" Liz asked after they had finished breakfast.

"Sure but put on your coats, Girls."

"Where's Daddy and Papa?" Kaylee asked.

"They had to work late so you get to stay with me for a little while longer," Angie answered.

"Ok c'mon Liz, Leah," Kaylee cried as she grabbed her coat and took off outside into the backyard. Angie smiled as she watched them head towards the play ground equipment. Once she knew that they were safe she began to wash the breakfast dishes. After playing on the swings and slide for a bit the girls met in front of the sand box.

"Let's play Hide-and-go-seek," Kaylee suggested. The girls nodded in agreement.

"You and Leah hide first," Liz instructed. Kaylee and Leah nodded as Liz turned and covered her eyes and began to count as the other two girls found places to hide. Kaylee was hidden in some bushes when she felt someone grab her.

"Be quiet and I won't hurt you, little girl," came a harsh voice in her ear. Kaylee wanted to scream but the man had placed a hand over her mouth and dragged her towards his car and threw her into the backseat next to an unconscious figure. Kaylee's eyes widened at the sight of her Papa in the car next to her but she remembered the mans warning and remained silent. However, she put her hand on his arm and shook him in an attempt to wake him up. They drove for about ten minutes before they stopped and the mean man jerked them out of the car and Greg woke up and panicked at the sight of his daughter in the arms of his kidnapper.

"Let her go do whatever you want with me, but let her go, please."

"Papa," Kaylee called as the mans grip tightened on her.

"It's ok I'm here, baby," Greg said reassuringly. Once they were settled in a dark basement the horrible camera that had been tormenting Greg sense he got their was back in his face.

"Say hello to your friends, and say hello to your Daddy," the man said as he turned the camera towards Kaylee.

"Daddy!" Kaylee cried as tears streamed down her cheeks. The man let out an evil laugh as he backhanded both Greg and Kaylee then turned the camera off and left the room leaving Greg to consoll his frightened daughter. He pulled her into his arms.

"Shh, it's ok, baby girl," Greg said soothingly as he rubbed her back in an attempt to calm her down.

Back at the crime lab a videotape had arrived and everyone was gathered in the a/v lab. Archie swore as he put the tape in and saw Greg sitting in the basement of a house with blood on the side of his head.

"You want your little CSI and boyfriend back? Well you'll only get him back if you can figure out who I am in four hours and meet the demands I have." Then the tape went black after they got a glimpse of the mans face. All of a sudden the tape came back on and Archie gasped.

"Oh god tell me that's not Kaylee Dawn, please." Unfortunately though it was his little girl.

"Say hello to your friends, and say hello to your Daddy," the kidnapper said as he turned the camera from Greg to Kaylee.

"Daddy!" Kaylee cried. Archie watched in horror as the man turned and backhanded Greg and Kaylee then turned the camera off. Archie jumped out of his chair and pushed past everyone. He headed for the fire exit and leaned against the wall. As soon as the door had closed behind him he started to shake and he did his best to fight back the tears. All of a sudden he heard the door open behind him and Nick walked out after propping the door open with a rock.

"Hey, Archie. You ok, man?"

"No I am not! What in the hell would make you ask such a stupid question, Nicky?" Archie snarled as he got in Nick's personal space.

"Archie Michael Johnson! You need to calm down now!" Bobby said as he walked out and pulled Archie away from Nick's face.

"Oh god I'm sorry Nick this is all too much I have to find something to save Greg and my little girl."

"No problem I just thought I would tell you that Jacqui got a match on a fingerprint."

"Who is it?" Archie asked.

"Well it's…"
