Chapter Three

(Kidnapper's House)

Phoenix was laying on her bed. She wasn't feeling well at all. Phoenix knew that her blood sugar was very low and her body was going into shock. She was trying her best to tell the kidnapper she needed insulin, but that hasn't worked or he wasn't listening. Phoenix hoped and prayed that someone would find her and soon. Phoenix sighed and fell asleep.

(CSI Labs)

Danny and Aiden are looking over all the evidence they had so far. Danny placed the hair found at the scene in a small container. He was hoping that this could lead them to the kidnapper. Aiden sighed. She had found several more fingerprints on the school book found in phoenix's room. Aiden was running them through AFIS to see if she could get a hit off of one that didn't belong.

Mac walked into the room. He looked at both Aiden and Danny. He noticed Aiden was a bit frustrated. He walked over and looked at Aiden.

"What do you have?" Mac asked Aiden.

"I found several fingerprints on the math book. Most of them were the victim's, Phoenix Harrison, but there was one that didn't match. I'm running it through AFIS now." Aiden replied.

Danny looked up. "Where's Stella"

"She's looking into Phoenix's extracurricular activities. From what we know already, she's an athlete."

"Wasn't there a sporting event a few weeks ago?" Aiden said.

"Yeah. A Special Olympics regional meet." Danny replied.

Mac nodded. He hoped that Stella had something.

(Phoenix's School)

Stella came into the school office. She looked at the secretary who was sitting behind the desk. The secretary looked up. "May I help you?"

"Yes, I'm looking for the principal, I need to speak with him." Stella said.

The principal came in. "May I help you?" He asked .

Stella turned around and smiled. "I'm Detective Bonasera, crime lab. I'm investigating a kidnapping of one your students, Phoenix Harrison." Stella said.

"Lets go into my office and we can talk about it there." The principal said. Stella nodded and followed him into his office.

(Principal's Office)

Stella looked around the office. Lots of pictures and awards won by the principal.

"So you think its one of our students?" He asked as he walked into the office.

"Actually sir, I know Its one of your students, Phoenix Harrison. One of the other students placed her here at the time before her disappearance." Stella said.

"Ah, Phoenix. I know her very well. She's been sent to my office quite a few times." the principal said.

Stella looked at the man before her. "How come?" She asked.

"She would have these outbursts in class for no reason. She would be sent here to talk to me or her counselor. Sometimes, when it got bad, we would have to contact her foster mother for help." He said.

Stella nodded. "I need a copy of her class schedule and her extra curricular activities if possible."

"I will see what I can do." The principal said as he left the office to get the information that Stella had requested.

(Kidnapper's house)

Phoenix was sitting up in the chair. Her face was a bit pale and she wasn't very hungry for food. the kidnapper opened the door to the house. He noticed Phoenix right away.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" He asked.

"Low blood sugar. Need insulin." She said.

The kidnapper picked up Phoenix. "I need to get you to the hospital." He said.

"Why do you care?" You just want something from me."

"I cant have you die on me."

Phoenix didn't say a word after that. The kidnapper took her to the car and drove her to the hospital.
