Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle stood over the body of the young lady, Gil pulled in a deep breath then let it out slowly. "She is the third one this month," Gil said.

Sara shook her head, "No ID on the body. Dave, we are gonna need."

"Prints, DNA and dental impressions," Dave Phillips, assistant coroner said, smiling at Sara. Dave loaded the body in the coroner's van and drove away.

Gil watched him then smiled at Sara, "I think he has the hots for you."

Sara tenderly touched Gil's arm, "Are you jealous dear?"

Gil smiled, "Not at all my love." Gil and Sara had been seeing each other for over a year now and so far no one had figured it out - they were all right with that, after all, their personal life was just that - personal.

Back at the lab Sara was going over the evidence that she and Gil had gathered, Gil was in autopsy with Dr. Robbins.

"Our "Jane Doe" is no longer a Jane Doe," Sara said, walking into the autopsy room, "Her name is Janice Hill."

"Janice Hill?" Gil said, "That name sounds familiar."

Sara opened a folder, "It should, she was the second of our six missing ladies."

"And the third to come across my table," Doc said, "All three were suffocated. And all three were know prostitutes."

"Is that all they have in common?" Gil asked.

"I'll go back over my records and get back with you," Robbins said.

Gil shook his head, "Three prostitutes and three new to the city."

"What's going on here?" Sara wondered.

Gil and Sara sat in his office going over paperwork, "Mary Jenkins, Heather Morris and Kerry Thomas all told their parents that they were offered jobs here in Vegas," Sara said, leafing through some folders, "And they all disappeared shortly after arrival."

"The only thing anyone can remember is that they each got into a dark colored van," Gil added.

An hour later Doc called Grissom and Sara and said he wanted to see them, Gil told him they were in his office, "I found something."

"What?" Sara asked.

Doc said, "At first I didn't think anything of it but now - well now I'm not so sure."

"About?" Gil asked.

"All three ladies had given birth shortly before they were killed."

Gil and Sara looked at each other. "Each lady was reported missing at least a year before their body was found," Gil said.

"And none of them were pregnant when they went missing," Sara added.

"What's going on?" Gil asked, "And where are the babies?"

Jim stuck his head into the room, "A woman found the body of a newborn in a trash can."

"I got it," Sara said, grabbing her kit and following Brass.

Gil wanted to say "I love you, be safe" but he didn't dare, not with others within ear shot. "Take Greg with you," Gil said. Sara nodded and walked away.

"Where's Greg?" Sara asked Catherine.

"He's dropping off some stuff with Archie," Catherine answered.

Sara wrote an address and handed it to Catherine, "Have him meet me when he's done." Catherine nodded.

At the scene Sara once more ran into Dave, "What do we have?"

"Newborn, can't be more then a few hours old," Dave said, "I'll know more when I'm done." Dave left.

As Sara started to process the scene she heard someone screaming for help, looking up she seen a man trying to force a young woman into a van. Sara dropped what she was doing and ran to help.

"LVPD," Sara yelled drawing her weapon, "Let the girl go."

The man released the woman, "She's my daughter," he said, "I found her with a boy and …"

That was the last thing Sara heard before a sharp pain in her head caused her to lose consciousness.

"Why did you do that?" the man said to a second man, "She's a cop."

"Shut up and throw her in the van," the second man said, "Along with this one." The second man had grabbed the young lady as she started to run.

Greg arrived at the scene, he seen Sara's kit and car but no Sara. Quickly he called Grissom, "I don't know what's going on." Within minutes Grissom and the rest of the team, along with Jim and two other officers were at the scene.

"Where were you?" Grissom asked the officer who was assigned to stay with Sara.

"I answered an officer involved shooting," he said, " Miss Sidle told me to go. She said she was just gonna snap some pics and leave."

Jim stepped between the officer and Gil, "You have been told NEVER leave the scene before the CSI's do."

Nick found the blood on the ground near some tire tracks, "Grissom."

Gil walked to where Nick was, the blood could not be a good sign.

"I have a swab," Nick said, "I'll take it back to the lab and compare it to Sara's DNA sample."

"Greg," Grissom said, "Finish here." Grissom's phone rang, it was Robbins. "I have to go," Gil said, "Catherine go over this with a fine tooth comb, we have to find out what happened."

All the way to the morgue Gil cursed himself for not telling Sara he loved her before she left. What if something had happened to her? His words of love should have been the last thing she heard from him.

At the morgue doc said, "The infant was a stillborn but that is not why I called you." Doc showed Gil the DNA results, the baby was the child of one of the missing ladies.

"What the hell is going on?" Gil asked.

Sara woke, she was chained to a bed and her shirt was covered in blood, she too wondered what was going on. Sara quickly closed her eyes when she heard the sound of male voices. One of them poked her, but Sara didn't move.

"How hard did you hit her?" voice one said.

"Don't know," voice two replied, "What ya think Mr. King is gonna say?"

"He's gonna be pissed," voice one answered, "We can't use her, she's to old, maybe we should just kill her."

"Let Mr. King make that decision," voice two said, as they walked away. "Shouldn't a stuck her noise in our business," Sara heard one of them mumble.

Grogginess and pain caused Sara to sleep again, a short time later the gentle touch of a startled Sara, "It's alright. My name is Mary."

Sara opened her eyes and looked into a familiar face, but where had she seen it? Mary offered Sara a glass of water, "If you don't fight him, Mr. King will not hurt you."

"Where are we?" Sara asked.

"I'm not sure," Mary answered, "None of us are allowed to go outside and all the windows are covered."

Sara managed to sit up, her head spinning, "What's going on? Why are we here?"

** I know, I am always putting poor Sara in jeopardy but who else would Gil fight so hard for? I hope you all enjoy this story, I don't see it going much over 2 or 3 chapters, but with me you never know. **
