Ransom

It was almost seven o'clock at night and I was on my way home from work. I had this strange feeling as I was walking to my car. It kind of felt like I was being watched or as if somebody was following me.

I turned around and the only other person I saw was my boss, Anne, closing up the store. I smiled and waved goodbye to her. Then just as I was reaching for my keys, my cell phone rang. I pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. It was my mother. She always called after I got out of work to make sure I was fine, and that I wasn't doing anything that I wasn't supposed to do. I answered the phone.

"Hello Mother." I tried to sound surprised.

"Hey Honey! How was work?"

"Boring, and slow as usual. What did you do today?"

She sighed. "I cleaned out the pool, did the laundry, and cleaned your room, which was a pigsty. You should really clean it more often."

"Sorry Mom, but I am busy with things called work. I have to start saving up my money so that it can help me pay for college, so you and Dad don't have to pay for all of it."

"You don't have to do that Sweetie, your Father and I will pay for all of it." She insisted.

"Fine. Okay. Whatever you say. I actually gotta go, I'm about to get into my car and it's chilly outside. I'll see you when I get home." I reached into my purse for my keys with one hand, while still holding my phone.

"Okay. I'll see you then. Drive safe. Bye." I hung up my phone and dropped it into my bag.

Right as I got a hold of my car keys, I was grabbed from behind. I couldn't see anything, the person who had taken me blindfolded me. All I saw was black...pitch black. A lot of questions were running through my head. Was I going to die? Would I be able to see my parents one last time? Why did this person take me and not someone else? Then there was the question that scared me the most. What were they going to do to me?

---------------------------------------------

The next day:

Catherine, Warrick, and Sara were all in the break room eating there lunches. Catherine was eating a turkey club, Warrick was eating a piece of pizza, and Sara was eating a salad. Warrick had just told Catherine a funny joke when Grissom walked in the room. They all turned their heads to look at him.

"What's up?" Sara asked him.

"We've just received a ransom note." Gris replied. He held up a piece of paper, that they guessed was the note. "A girl was kidnaped in her work parking lot, around seven last night. Finish up your lunches quick and meet me in my office ASAP." They all nodded. "And see if you can find out where Nick went to and tell him to meet us in there as well." He walked out of the room and down the hall to his office.

Sara looked at Warrick and Catherine and sighed. "I'll go find him." She packed up her lunch and threw it away, walking out of the room in search for Nick. She had looked in a bunch of rooms, when she saw Greg and Nick looking at something through a microscope.

----------------------------------------------

I must have been knocked out because when I woke up I was in a tiny room. There was one small window, way up high, but it was too high for me to reach. I rubbed my eyes. Why was I so tired? I looked around the room and surveyed my surroundings. It was hard for me to see because it was probably sometime near midnight.

The room I was in was most likely a basement of some sort. There were some cardboard boxes in one of the corners of the room. There was a staircase in the middle of the room that led to a door at the top. I knew from where I was that it was locked.

I brought my legs up to my chest and wrapped my arms around my knees, praying that I would get out of here soon.

-------------------------------------------------

The whole gang walked into Grissom's small office. There was a row of seats in front of his desk, where he was seated. Sara, Catherine, Warrick, and Nick took a seat and looked at him, waiting for him to give them all the details.

"Okay," Grissom began. "We have an 18 year old girl who was kidnaped in her work parking lot, and a ransom note. The note tells us to get one million dollars and transfer it to this bank account." He pointed to the bank account number on the piece of paper. "I really would like to get this perp as soon as possible. According to the FBI, this isn't the first time they've dealt with this guy." He handed the note to Catherine to pass around to the others.
