Kara stepped out of the elevator into the lobby.
"You're back" Eric smiled
"Yeah but I think I left that bag in the hummer." She turned back around.
"Wait." He put his hand on her shoulder. "I'll get it for you, I need to go look for something out there anyway."
"Thanks Eric, by the way would you like me to pick up Austin and Patty today?"
Eric used his hand to hold the elevator door open. "I've already called my Mom to have her do it because you need to stay put."
He let go, the door began to slide, Kara dashed forward grabbing a hold of it.
"Why?" She narrowed her eyes at him.
"Because if Ron saris meant what he told you on the phone then we need to start taking precautions so no one else gets abducted."
Kara took a slow deep breath "Ok" she let her hand drop down allowing the door to close.

Ryan and Horatio were busy using the computers attempting to access gps locator signals from Calleigh and Natalia's cellphones.
Ryan sorted through the tangled up cords. Horatio plugged in one of the lines bringing up a map on screen.
Ryan set his phone down connecting it to the line.
"You ready?" Horatio asked him opening up his own phone.
"Yep, let's hope this works."
He pressed a button that dialed both numbers simultaneously.
A signal was acquired, someone had answered the call.
"Hey Red, did that rugrat tell you I said hello?"
"Ron where are my csi's?"
"Here with us haven't you figured this out already?" Ron taunted.
"What exactly is it, that you guys are planning?" Horatio pushed for a response.
"You'll find out in due time Horatio, that is once your whole team disappears from under your nose." Ron continued.
"All of us here want you to get what is coming."
"You all have an issue with me so why don't we leave my team out of it?" Horatio recommended
"Keep him talking." Ryan whispered watching the map trying to narrow on a location.
"Were way past that point, far to late for that; but if you meet our demands, maybe we won't hurt them too badly."
"What are the demands?…Ron…Ron!" They heard a click, Horatio looked to the screen but the signal was lost.
Ryan sighed and braced his hands on the table. "So much for that."

( Outside)
Memmo pulled up in a van, he looked around surveying the area. He quickly noticed Eric over by one of the hummers.
Slowly trying to avoid attention he got out of the car and bent down pretending to inspect it.
He inched closer to Eric and straightened his throat and heightening his voice tone trying to sound different.
"Excuse me sir." Eric turned to see the person trying to gain his attention.
"I think there is something wrong with my tire, could you take a look?"
"Sure." Eric followed him to the nearby van.
"Might be this tire here." Memmo pointed.
Eric got down on his hands and knees facing away from him.
Memmo carefully lifted a gun out of his back pocket.
Eric started to sit up. "It might be the.." He felt something hit the back of his head causing him to black out and fall forward onto the ground.
Memmo made quick work of lifting him up into the van using all of his strength.
He darted his eyes around making sure no one had witnessed what he had just done.
Memmo hopped back into the van and floored the gas pedal to make a clean get away.

Paula have you seen Eric back up here yet?" Kara asked when she approached the reception desk.
"No not yet." Paula shook her head.
"He's been outside a while now, wonder what's taking him so long.."
She whipped around to see Ryan walking by.
"Where are you going?" Kara crossed her arms.
Ryan showed her a few files. "I need to drop these off at the courthouse."
"Alright but if you see Eric outside as him if he plans to come inside any time soon."
She suggested.
Ryan pushed back the sides of his jacket. "He's still out there I already found what we were looking for."
"It's also been twenty five minutes." Kara lowered her head and looked at him above the rim of her glasses.
"I'll see what's keeping him." Ryan tapped the down arrow button for the elevator.

Horatio stood in his office staring out the window when his thoughts steered into a flash back
* "I believe they were talking about retaliation." Joe Lebrock stated. *
Suddenly an idea came to his mind and He dialed Frank. "Hey Frank, let's put out a media alert for Clavo Cruz, Ceasar Soto and Ron Saris." He nodded his head
"Yes any possible sightings we want to be notified."
He put the phone back into his suit jacket then heard Kara's voice outside his office that got his attention.
"Did you find him? He's not?…No I don't think so at least not yet, for all we know he could e in the parking garage…I don't know, I will check with surveillance just try not to be gone long ok? Bye."
Horatio watched as she looked concern putting a hand to her mouth.
(Across town)
Memmo and Joe brought Eric inside and dropped next to the the rest of the group they had so far. Joe tied him up then injected a sedative to keep Eric knocked out.
"Two more then what? Memmo man I'm getting tired of waiting, let me get some time with the pretty lady." Clavo insisted
"This is not about messing around!" Memmo pointed towards them. "They are to be used as leverage against Caine, I'm not going to let you mess up the plan before hand!"
Joe approached Clavo. "Why don't you and your partner go make yourselves useful again to help pass the time, pick up the last man standing."
Clavo took a step back and adjusted his shirt. "Maybe we will!" Clavo snapped his fingers
"Ceasar, lets bounce!"
Ceasar stayed silent pushing himself off the couch and followed Clavo out the door.
Memmo turned to Joe. "How long until you have the girl?"
"Thanks to Ron we can't have any rough expectations, but I'll try and make it quick. Joe picked up a small duffle bag and put it on the table, unzipped it and started packing different things like chloroform, ropes, duct tape, the sleeping sedative and a few weapons.
(The Lab)
Kara rushed into the room and saw Dave waiting for her.
"Hey I got your message, was just about to call you." He bit his lip.
Kara linked her hands together and put them under her chin. "That's not a good look what did you see?'
"Come take a look." He patted the chair beside him.
Kara moved forward and took a seat while Dave replayed the footage.
She noticed Eric had been at the hummer until a stranger got his attention.
"Who is that?" she asked herself pushing her glasses back.
Dave zoomed in on the video.
Eric was seen walking behind the van out of the camera's view.
She leaned forward as the van was shown speeding away. Eric was gone.
"No!" Kara cried out putting both hands on her head.
"I've kind of heard from word getting around, this is really bad isn't it?" Dave asked.
"And getting worse." Kara rose out of the chair "Thank you for looking into this, I have to find Horatio.
(On the Road)
"That's when my Father took care of everything, then we saw Caine and the other dude said something about what he wanted him to tell us but.."
Cesar interrupted Clavo's story.
"Look there's one of their vehicles!" He pointed out.
"Oh yeah! Hope this who we need." Clavo spun the wheel around and went down an alleyway to cut through.
(The lab)
Horatio answered his phone when he noticed Ryan on the caller id.
"Yeah go ahead."
" Horatio just wanted to let you know I'm on my way back and I was able to speak with.." Shots were suddenly heard in the background followed by static.
"Mr Wolfe?…Ryan..Ryan can you hear me?!"
No response only silence was heard.
