Her heels made a familiar sound on the pavement. On her way she checked a car's window and adjusted her hair. She was walking through a big hall now and saw a man standing, waiting. She approached the man and tapped his shoulder. When he turned around it was Alec. Strange, she hadn't seen him since forever. Alec placed his hand on the small of her back and guided her to a restaurant. She was eating a salad now and laughed because of Cal's jokes, who was sitting in front of her now. When she looked up from her plate, she was alone. She looked around to see where everybody was and felt a hand on her shoulder. A terrible smell reached her nose and she tried to back away, but something was standing behind her. She waved her arms around her, but couldn't find what was holding her back.

Gillian sat up startled, her blouse sticking to her back from sweat. Cautiously she took in her surroundings and leaned back against the wall. She would like to say that it was all just a nightmare, and it had been, but by waking up she fell right into another. She crinkled her nose, because of a smell she couldn't ignore. Her eyes searched the room, only to find that she was sitting on the source of the smell. Now she remembered that last night, when the cold crawled into her spine and calves, she had decided to sit on the mattress. The was not planning on sleeping on the filthy thing, but apparently her body was so exhausted she had had no saying in the matter. Gillian pulled her knees under her chin and sighed. She still couldn't believe that she was kidnapped. Of all the people in the world! She let her thoughts go back to the events that had happened now three days ago.

'Heidi, if Dr. Lightman asks for me, could you tell him I took over Torres's case? I'd rather check this one out myself, it is about the Renolds.'

Heidi smiled up at Gillian and nodded, 'Of course!'

Gillian nodded back and walked across the hall to the exit. Torres had shown her the file of the Renolds case this morning. When they took it, they didn't think it would be this interesting, but now that the events were escalating, Gillian rather checked it out herself.

Out on the streets she looked around for her car, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Before she turned, someone hold an old rag against her nose and the world blackened. The last thing she heard was a whisper in her ear, 'You will do fine as well.'

Gillian still had no idea how her captor managed to grab her in the middle of the day. It only showed his magnificence and she didn't really like to think of him as a master brain, so she just kept it on luck. Recalling the memory wasn't pleasant, but Gillian's experience on the psychological area learned her that she had to, to remember any information about her captor. She now also remembered the last thing she heard, that whisper saying that she would do fine as well. She couldn't figure out what he meant with that. Back in her mind a little voice told her that he probably meant that he planned this abduction all along and because she had taken Torres's place, she was now the one sitting in this damp cellar. The pushed this thought away, she didn't want to go over all the scenario's that could or couldn't have happened. Right now, she shouldn't focus on the way she got here, but on the way she would get out of here.

Cal walked through the corridors, looking into every room he passed by. Everywhere people were busy working, working to find Gillian. Since they found out that she was missing, Cal locked the Lightman Group down and everyone was now searching for Gillian. Not that they had any leads what so ever. All they knew was that Gillian took over the Renolds case and was on her way meeting them, but never arrived. Nobody had seen anything and there were no active camera's on the streets due to a technical failure. They were now busy following up the only think they could do and that was checking on all Gillian's enemies. Locker suggested to investigate Lightman's enemies as well, because one of them could use Gillian to get back on Lightman. Cal was worried this was the matter, if it was a planned abduction. Gillian could be randomly picked, but if it was planned, Gillian wasn't supposed to be there, so it couldn't be about her. All these thought passed Cal's mind, but he couldn't make any sense out of them.

Just when he decided to take a walk and clear his head, both Heidi and Torres came walking towards him. Heidi reached him first, even though Torres was in a big hurry.

'What is it?'Cal shrugged. Torres tried to shove Heidi aside, but cal yelled at her, 'Oi! Leave that women alone, she was about to tell me something, you've got to learn a little patience!'

'But…!' Torres tried

'No, nothing of that sort! Now Heidi, what did you want to tell me.' Heidi watched cautiously at Torres, but Torres was more busy sulking.

'I have a letter addressed to you personally, Dr Lightman. The mailman insisted that I gave it to you right away.'

Lightman accepted the letter and looked over Heidi's shoulder, but the mailman had already exited the building. Cal ripped open the letter and said, 'Thanks, Heidi. Now, what is it Torres, you want to tell me so eagerly?'

'Well, we investigated all the possible enemies, like you said…'

Cal now looked into the envelope and removed the content.

'… and one very possible one escaped a week ago from prison, it's…'

'Martin Walker' Cal said in disgust, looking at the content.

'Yeah, how do you know?'

Cal hold up the things he just removed from the envelope. Torres took them and looked at was she was holing. There were two billets of a hundred dollar and a typed note:
