OK Thanks for the reviews and I do hate to keep people waiting
Chapter 2
Sofia, who had been the driver, took off her crash helmet very carefully, then removed the fireproof balaclava underneath it, after exiting the car. All of her hair would be contained in that balaclava. Looking around there was no one else in sight so she ran off to get the second vehicle, an ambulance.
She had on a paramedic uniform so with her lights flashing she felt no qualms about 'assisting' at the scene. She ripped open the passenger side door and helped the unconscious Sara onto a gurney and placed her inside the ambulance, bandaged a small cut on the side of her head and climbed into the driver's seat and sped off.
Grissom looked around him when he woke and couldn't find Sara, her door was open but she couldn't have wandered far. Maybe she went to get help. At least he thought that until he saw blood on the window. He got out hi s cell and dialed Jim Brass.
"Jim car accident, on my way home, Sara's gone and I'm pinned in the car and I need help," he said, his voiced filled with pain and anguish.
"Ok Gil, be there in five, I'll bring the team, hang in there," he replied
The team was in the break room when Jim came in. "Grab your stuff, car accident to attend, all of you, Grissom's car, and Sara is gone." The team scrambled.
Sofia had looked back to where Sara was, she was still out cold and safely strapped down, so she continued her drive up to the house. Now she had Sara, and Grissom didn't. They would look everywhere for her, knowing she was injured, they'd check all the hospitals, medical clinics, they would scour the face of the earth to find her but by then Sara must realize that only Sofia loved her.
They pulled up at the house and Sofia wheeled Sara inside and lifted her off the gurney and carried her down to the basement, leaving her lying on the cot, she would use restraints later if required, but she didn't want to. Because Sara had been wearing her seatbelt she wasn't injured apart from the cut on her head, which was easily fixed.
Back at the scene Brass had spoken to several people in the neighbourhood who said they had seen an ambulance leaving the scene with the passenger in it, but with only one paramedic. The team checked the car over for anything incriminating and then went to the other car to try and find evidence, it all came back nothing.
Next they tried every hospital in Vegas, again nothing, not even anyone close to Sara's description. Then they tried all the medical centres within a 10 mile radius and only came up with one person matching Sara's description. Her name was Molly Considine, 32, and she went there because she was pregnant.
The team ran out of leads.
"This is so frustrating, the car was unregistered, the previous owner deceased, car paid for in cash from a wrecking yard, no prints, no hairs, no fibres, nothing. This person either knows us and how good we are, or they are just very neat," said Catherine.
"No one is that neat and doesn't leave a paper trail," replied Nick."There is one thing we can assume though, and I think we must for now until the evidence proves us wrong, this person knows us, hit Grissom's car on purpose to get Sara, and maybe we know them. Another reason this makes sense is because someone knew where they were, the route they took home so that kind of narrows the field."
"Couldn't it be a stalker?" asked Greg.
"No, I seriously doubt that, it doesn't fit any MO of any previous stalkers we've ever heard of and whoever it was didn't want to kill anyone. If it was a stalker they wouldn't have killing Sara," Catherine countered.
"So it had to be someone we know," replied Nick, confirming his prior statement.
"Could be way out there Nick, but I don't see any options right now, run who we usually have on shift with us, then check out who isn't here and why, at least it's a start," said Catherine cautiously, knowing that no one would appreciate this delving into private matters.
Later on the whereabouts of everyone in the lab was confirmed, but Catherine wasn't satisfied and asked Jim Brass to review his staff listing. He came back with one name: Sofia Curtis.
"You can't honestly believe Sofia did this can you Cath?" Jim asked her, with worry drawn all over his face.
"I don't know, but I suggest you find her quickly or she'll be our number one suspect, and although we have no evidence against her, she still needs an alibi," Catherine countered.
Jim put out an APB on Sofia's car and Sofia herself.
