Chapter 4- Missing

Calleigh and Natalia gather in the layout room, to discuss the evidence from the Payton case where a young women was stabbed in her own home. The fiancée is currently the prime suspect, but the CSIs don't have enough evidence to prove he committed the crime.

Studying the crime scene photos for the fourth time, Calleigh lets out a frustrated sigh. "Natalia, maybe we should revisit the crime scene, maybe we missed something". The platinum blonde suggests. Frowning, Natalia nods her head in agreement placing the crime scene photos back into the case file. Silently, the pair exit the layout room, headed for the parking garage.

15 minutes later, the pair are speeding down the freeway with the windows rolled down, and the wind blowing in their hair. Natalia shifts in the passenger seat slightly, the silence starting to bother her.

Breaking the ice, the brunette asks, "So what do you think of Deanna"?

With her green eyes still on the road, Calleigh answers, "I like her, she seems nice kind of quiet though".

Silently agreeing, Natalia nods her head gazing out the passenger side window, the hummer blanketed in a comfortable silence.

Pulling into the driveway of a medium sized one story stucco home, Calleigh killed the engine, climbing out of the driver's seat. Natalia climbed out of the passenger seat, slamming her door shut. The two women met up in the back of the hummer, retrieving their CSI kits from the trunk.

The blonde started up the drive, Natalia trailing closely behind. Calleigh unlocked the front door with the master key, and stepped into the living room, the brunette mimicking her. The quiet home still smelled like death, the place a young life ended at the hands of another.

The platinum blonde ballistics expert sat her kit down, opened it and retrieved her gloves putting them on. Natalia doing the same.

"You take the living room, I'll take the kitchen". Calleigh said, already wandering toward the house's small kitchen.

"Alright". Natalia answers, her warm brown eyes taking in the living area. The walls were painted a light brown color, the carpet was white. A plasma screen TV rested on the wall above the fireplace. Pictures of the couple and their family and friends hung on the wall.

Sadness coursed through the brunette's body, she didn't understand why someone would want to end another's life. She walks over to the fireplace, her flashlight on. Kneeling down to examine an unknown substance close to the fireplace, Natalia doesn't hear the man creeping up behind her. The stranger hits her on the head with the object in his hands, knocking her out cold.

Carefully, the intruder drags the unconscious brunette to the front door, picking her up, he carries her out to the waiting van. Tossing her into the back of the black colored van carelessly, he slams the door shut, a small smile creeping onto his shaved face. Walking back up the driveway, the figure enters the crime scene again, making sure to be quiet.

"Good thing, the neighborhood was deserted when I dragged the brunette into the van". He thought as he made his way into the hallway leading into the kitchen. Pulling the gun tucked into his trousers out, the abductor creeps into the kitchen. Calleigh has her back to the stranger, using her flashlight the blonde continues her hunt for missing evidence. She has no clue what's going on, or what's going to happen.

"Hey Natalia you find anything"? She asks, waiting for the brunette's reply. Seeing the perfect opportunity, the abductor creeps up behind the blonde, putting the gun to her head. The platinum blonde freezes, dropping the flashlight. Feeling the cold metal against her head, she started to panic. The fear coursed through her body.

"Move". The abductor says. Calleigh follows the instructions given, heading toward the hallway.

"Make any sudden movement, and I promise you I will blow your brains out, then kill your friend". The brunette abductor whispers into her ear, his voice deadly.

Calleigh swallows, wondering what was going to happen to her and Natalia.

Eric paces back and forth in the break room, his cell phone in his hand. He was starting to get worried about Calleigh and Natalia. They hadn't come back from the Payton crime scene, and the women weren't answering their cell phones. Finally tired of waiting, he goes to find Horatio.

Eric walks into Horatio's office, a worried expression on his face. Deanna and Horatio look over at him. Upon seeing his worried expression the redhead asks, "Is everything alright Eric"?

Eric shakes his head. "Cal and Nat aren't answering their phones and they aren't back from the Payton scene they told me they were revisiting". He answers.

A shiver goes down Deanna's spine after hearing his words. "Let's go check out the scene". She says.

Horatio nods, and rises from his office chair leading the group into the hallway. Ryan strolls down the other end of the hallway, the note Deanna received in his hand. "Hey H, I've been studying this note". He announces walking over to the group.

Eric interrupts before any words are exchanged. "Not now Wolfe, Cal and Nat haven't returned from their crime scene and we're worried. We're going to go check out the scene, wanna come with"?

Wolfe agrees to come along, and the group of four head out to the parking garage, while fear and panic course through Deanna's body. Two CSI's are missing and the abductor doesn't play nice………
