"Who's there?!" Brass shouted down the hall. There was no reply. Brass was about to yell again when a figure started to walk towards the group.
"Well I can't believe I'm seeing this." The man said as he continued to walk closer to the group.
"Stop right there!" Grissom yelled grabbing his gun. Sara moved behind him. Brass moved on the other side of Grissom to block the kids that were on the floor. The man stop just before the light reviled his face.
"Hahahaha, well bumble bee you haven't changed." The man snickered. Grissom felt Sara stiffen up.
"Never thought you see me again did you?" He said walking into the light relieving his face. He had a deep scar on the right side of his face. You could see that he man had gone through a lot of damage in his life. He had dark brown hair and the deepest of brown eyes that appeared black at a distance. There was no warmth in those eyes, pain, sorrow and vengeance. Grissom was afraid for Sara. Sara gasped as she recognized him.
"You're…suuupoosed to beee deeaad." She stuttered out. The team was shocked. They never saw Sara so shaken up. The group looked at the scene playing and Mia was terrified. Her parents didn't know that he was alive and that he was the leader of the gang that was out to get them.
"Yeah I know, but you know what when a job isn't done right you do it yourself right. Let's just say some of the people I work with are idiots." He said as he looked down at Mia at the floor. Mia locked eyes and he smirked. Grissom fallowed his vision and saw what he was doing and he wasn't going to have that happen. He stepped into the line of vision causing the man to look at him.
"Just who are you and what do you want?" Grissom said in a very intense voice.
"Well Gil now that you mention it. I would like to take my daughter back and kill that spoiled brat that is my grandchild." He said with no emotion at all. The group was stunned. 'This is Sara's father!?' Sara stared at the man and then looked at Grissom. Gil had not moved and had not changed facial expressions.
"So here's the deal, either you give them to me or I'll take them." The man replied moving closer to Grissom and Sara.
"Don't move!" Brass yells bring his fire arm up higher.
"You'll get them over my dead body!" Grissom said moving Sara further behind him. Sara looked at Grissom with surprise.
"Ok if that's what you wish." He said shrugging his shoulders. Mia knew what was going to happen. She jumped up and yelled, "GET DOWN!!!!" she pulled Grissom and Sara back down to the floor. Everyone took cover once again. But Mia wasn't going to stick around and get shot again. She pulled on Grissom's arm and told him to fallow. The others saw and fallowed as well. Jesse moved to Mia side as the moved helping her as much as possible. The team went along the floor out of site to the man. Mia was able to open the door to Grissom's office and got everyone in side.
"Is everyone ok?" She asked. Grissom helped Sara up and Brass.
"Yeah we're ok over here." Said Jasmine as she helped Warrick and Catherine up.
"And we are just dandy over here." Greg said helping Tyler up.
"Ok so after today I'm picking new friends! Seriously Mia how many times do you get shot at a day?" Grissom looked at Mia as she just smiled. Tyler laughed and then looked out the window.
"So what's the plan now boss?" Tyler looked at Mia as Jesse moved her to a chair to sit and rest.
"Well we have to get out of here. To hell with that old man if he thinks I'm going anywhere with him." She said as she hissed sitting down.
"Well then, we need a way out," Catherine was interrupted by Staci and Jasmine both saying at the sometime, "and some fire power!" Everyone looked at them like they were nuts.
"They do that from time to time. Staci sometimes just synchronizes with the other girls. It sometimes sounds like they are twins." Tyler explained.
"Well we can't just sit and wait for him to find us so let's get going." Sara said roaming Grissom's office.
"And what exactly are you looking for Sara?" Nick asked puzzled.
"Well fire power and a way out of course. It's not like we aren't in a lab with combustible items Nick. Use your imagination and we can easily get out of here. If I'm right this guy knows nothing about science. Hell he wouldn't help me with simple math. We have a chance so let's get started." She said throwing a book at Nick that read, Things That Go Boom in a Lab. Nick looked up at Grissom as he read the title.
"What, so I have a book for those that can't read at my level. SUE ME!" Grissom said as everyone chuckled.
"Ok you guys enough chit chatting we have a job to do and let's do it!" Jasmine yelled. Grissom looked back at Mia and saw she was in some serious pain. He went over to her and made her look at him.
"Mia are you ok? Look at me." She opened her eyes and then fell back asleep. Grissom picked her up and placed her on the coach in the back of the room. She was going in and out of consciousness. Grissom couldn't stand it.
"Gil I don't think she has much time left we have to go." Brass said looking at his pall as he looked at a child that was going to be his pride and joy. Sara came up behind him with a spare blanket. She placed it over Mia and looked at Grissom.
"He's right we have to go." Grissom didn't look up he stared at Mia. Sara got down on her knees and took his face in her hands. She directed him to meet her gaze.
"Honey, we have to go. If we want to save her life, and trust me he will never give up, we have to go now and get out of here. Jesse will stay with her. Nothing will happen with him here." Jesse nodded as Grissom looked at him.
"Grissom I'll make sure of it." Nick said standing by his son. Grissom nodded his head and got up and said, "Let's go."
