Meanwhile... after school MaKayla was talking with Rhonda when seen Jackson waiting for her.

"Now there is the man of my dreams?" purred MaKayla. "I'll see you tomorrow Rhonda."

"Hello beautiful. Miss me?" he asked as he wrapped her in his arms.

"Mm... always." said MaKayla as she raised herself up on tiptoes and passionately kissed him.

Wild now, Jackson pinned her to the wall and roamed his hands down her body and under her short skirt. Hearing MaKayla's sigh as his fingers slid over her folds he stopped.

"Whoa... we need to stop MaKayla. We're in public and I'm in uniform." said Jackson trying to regain his wits.

"Mm... then let's go home. Mom and dad won't be back till later. I need you to love me with your beautiful thick fingers and tongue." she laughed.

"You are so bad, girl. If your father and my mentor ever found out about us. We'd both be dead."

"Doesn't matter Jackson. I'd still love you, even in death."

Feeling her intense stare, Jackson knew she was telling the truth. She really did love him, as much as he loved her.

"Do you still remember the first night we met?" asked MaKayla.

"How can I ever forget." said Jackson. "You came running into the station to give your uncle Flack hell for telling on you and your girlfriends about the traffic violation. I also remember Flack telling you that if you learned to behave and act, like a young woman your uncles and parents raised you to be, he'd have nothing to complain about."

"That's right. Then you yelled over and said... "give her a break Flack. She's beautiful and if I was the officer that gave her the violation, I'd have gotten her number too." said MaKayla.

"Mhm... then Flack said... "keep your eyes and hands off our little girl. Or you'll deal with all her uncles." said Jackson.

"Oh... but the funniest part was when they made uncle Sheldon talk to you. I still remember you looking at him as you said... "I'm sorry Sheldon but she's so amazingly beautiful. Then he said... "Don't make me put my own nine mil in your black ass." laughed MaKayla.

"Hah... yeah. Sheldon Hawkes has always been my mentor. He helped me alot with my decision to become a cop. He always told me that no matter how high you soar, you can always find another mile in you to soar above the goal you have already reached." said Jackson.

"I know." said MaKayla as watched Jackson's gorgeous brown eyes come to life. Then as they traveled down his heated, strong muscled body and thighs, she felt herself shudder. She knew it was only a matter of time before they finally hit a home run. For every other base had been covered twice over.

"I felt that MaKayla. Let's get you home so I can take care of your needs." he laughed taking her hand.

......................

When they arrived at home MaKayla noticed the front door was slightly ajar. Opening it she called...

"Mom... dad... are you home?" Walking into the dinning room she seen the table and chairs knocked over and blood on the carpet. Running upstairs screaming their name, she seen the damage to the bedroom and more blood. Then she looked up and said...

"Call it in Jackson. My parents have been taken."

While Jackson called it in, MaKayla read the mirrored clues again...

"You have 48hrs to solve this puzzle. If you haven't figured it out by then. The Taylor's die. Here are your clues. First part, you must unscramble the name. It's two words...CASZYECAR. Your second clue is "the person I am doing this for was once a cop. Search hard and work fast. 48hrs and the two detectives die."

.....................

When the team arrived on scene, they found Jackson with MaKayla sitting on the couch.

"Jackson? What are you doing here?" asked Flack.

"I called it in. I seen MaKayla on her way home and gave her a ride. When we got here the door was ajar."

"MaKalya, what's going on, sweetheart?" asked Flack.

"Someone has mom and dad. I came home and found the place in destroyed. There's blood in the dinning room and upstairs in mom and dads room. There is also a puzzle left in red marker on the mirror. Someone is playing a dangerous game and my parents are the prize." she cried.

"Calm down sweetheart. We're going to find them. Jackson take my keys and take MaKayla to my place." said Flack.

"Sure. No problem." said Jackson as he helped her to the car.

Once MaKayla was out of ear shot Flack said...

"We take no other call outs today. This is the only one we are working on. Sheldon... you and Adam take the bedroom. See what you can figure out from that puzzle, and make sure to print the whole room. Leave nothing out. Danny... I want you take the dinning room. I'm going to talk with the neighbors." said Don.

Walking to the next house, Don knocked on the door.

"Hello." answered the elderly lady.

"Hello. I'm detective Don Flack, I'd like to ask you a few questions about the Taylor's."

"Oh they are such a lovely couple. Their daughter is such a sweetheart. Though with you being a detective you should know them already." she said.

"I do ma'am. By chance did you see anyone in or around the Taylor's home this morning?" asked Don.

"No... the only thing I noticed was the Pest Control van in their backyard. I couldn't figure out why it would be against their back door. Most pest control people come through your front door." she said.

"Did you happen to see who was driving? Or do you remember what they looked like?" asked Don.

"I'm afraid not. You see my son calls me at 9:45 every morning. Are the Taylor's okay?" she asked.

"We hope so ma'am. Thanks for your help." Don said as headed back to the Taylor's. Walking in the door he heard Danny...

"Lots of activity in here Don. Several prints and blood splatter. Let's hope that Mac got in a few good ones and left us some DNA." said Danny.

Nodding his agreement Don headed upstairs to check on Sheldon and Adam.

"What did you guys find?" asked Don.

"Same as Danny. Lots of prints, blood, and torn clothing. Though I won't know for sure if it belongs to Mac, Stella or the suspect," said Sheldon. We also have two clues the suspects left us. One is a word that we are still trying to unscramble, the second is a reason as to why Mac was taken."

"Which is?" asked Don.

"It seems this is a game of revenge for an ex-cop." said Sheldon.

"An ex-cop? Christ which one?" asked Don.

"That's for us to figure out. We have 48hrs, or Mac and Stella die." said Sheldon as Don's cell phone went off.

"Flack."

"Ah yes. detective Don Flack. It's been a long time since you got involved with Mac against someone who means something to me. Someone who has now become part of my life. Anyway... I won't keep you long. I just wanted to let you know that I will call back in 48hrs. If you haven't figured out who I am. Then the CSI family loses two of its members. However... if you can figure out the puzzle? I'll be under arrest and I'll tell you where you can find them. "

"Why should I believe you'll let them live, even if we figure out your clues?" asked Don.

"Cause the person I'm doing this for is a man of his word. He believed in the brotherhood oath that was made up long ago. Cop protects cop. Except somewhere along the way you forgot that Donald. But that's okay. Cause the Taylor's are paying for their involvement. What a guilt to live with, knowing that you could have stopped this all those years ago. Oh yes... he remembers the guilt on your face so well. Anyway... you'll be hearing from me soon. Click, as the line went dead.

"Who was it Don?" asked Sheldon.

"I don't know. It was the suspect that has Mac and Stella. We need to get this stuff back to the lab. Time's wasting." said Don.

"What are you leaving out Don? Tell us?" said Danny.

"Whoever is doing this, mentioned that he was seeking revenge for someone close to him. He also said that I could have stopped this from happening long ago. Now let's go. We've wasted enough time." said Don as they headed back to the lab.

.....................

Back at the storage facility Hector yelled...

"Lance go check on the Taylor's. Take these two powerbars with you. Toss them through the window. As for you two. Take that van and drive it into the water. Quickly before they trace it."

Once Hector was alone with Rhonda she said...

"Hector are you sure your father would want you to do this?"

"Are you questioning me?" asked Hector.

"No. Not at all. It's just your father harbors no guilt toward Don or Mac. He understood that they were doing their job. Your father lied about you being his son, he hid evidence to protect you. I really don't think he did all that, to have you become vindictive against others. The lady detective is pregnant. She needs proper food, not powerbars." said Rhonda.

"Listen to me Rhonda. It's not going to matter. They will be dead in 48hrs anyway." said Hector.

"What? You didn't say anything about killing them. You said this was just a bit of revenge. You promised to let them go." panicked Rhonda.

"Did I? Hm... I guess I forgot to mention I changed my mind." said Hector.

"Christ... this is too much for me. I'm sorry. I go too school with MaKayla. There is no way I can hide the guilt I'd feel. Count me out." said Rhonda as she tried to leave.

*Bang*

Running from the storage bin, Lance seen Rhonda dead with a bullet through her chest.

"What the hell ya' doin' man? This wasn't s' pose to go down. Fuck man, you're nuts. I want no part of Crazy Aces anymore. C-Dog should have never let you take over. I'm outta here." said Lance running for the door.

Taking aim with his gun, Hector couldn't get the bullet to expel from the chamber. Leaving Lance able to escape.
