Here is the next chapter!
"Good morning Horatio." Rick said as he strode through the lab.
"Rick what can I do for you?" Horatio asked.
"I am looking for CSI Wolfe." Rick said.
"As am I. He didn't answer his call out this morning."
"Right have you phoned him yet?"
"Yes and he didn't answer."
"I think it's time to pay him a visit then." Rick said.
"I'm sure he's just late Rick."
"Horatio!" Alexx called as she ran through the lab. "Ryan's in danger!"
"Dr Woods isn't it?" Rick said. "What has happened?"
"Ryan phoned me about half an hour ago. He sounded really panicked."
"What did he say Alexx?" Horatio asked.
"He said something about Russians and a van and ski masks."
"Sounds like a kidnapping." Rick said; playing his part perfectly.
"We need to get out and do something!" Alexx gasped.
"Mr. Wolfe hasn't been missing for 24 hours yet. He isn't a missing person." Horatio said. Alexx looked at Horatio; her eyes burning with fury.
"Horatio are you out of you frickin' mind!" She screamed. "He's missing! Now you get out there and search for him!"
"I must agree with Dr Woods on this one." Rick said. "This is a missing police officer. I know you have cases to handle so..."
"There's been a kidnapping." Frank butted in; as he joined the trio. "49 Maple Leaf Drive."
"That's Ryan's home." Alexx said.
"I understand you have cases Horatio but I'll need a CSI and the free use of your lab so that we can work out what happened here."
"Fine." Horatio huffed. "You can take Miss Boa Vista."
"Thank you Horatio. I'll run this investigation with sergeant Tripp and we'll find your CSI."
"So be it." Horatio said as he sulked off. Rick, Alexx and Frank all smiled at each other.
"Time to get to work." Rick said before going to find Natalia.
"Something defiantly happened here." Natalia said as she knelt down at the side of the smashed, glass coffee table. "I hope Ryan's okay." She whispered.
"What have you found?" Rick asked when Natalia lifted a speck of blood off of the carpet.
"Blood." She said. "I'll run it back at the lab but chances are its Ryan's."
"I need you to run all of the blood you lift." Rick said. Natalia nodded and started taking photos of the crime scene. She lifted a hair off of the arm of the sofa and bagged it before working on the door.
"The door looks like it was kicked in and I have gravitational blood drops leading outside and up to the curb."
"Probably where the getaway vehicle was parked." Frank said. "I've talked to a few witnesses they say that there were two men wearing ski masks. One drove the van here while the other had already arrived and was waiting for him. I have a few numbers off of the plates so I'll run them. There were shouts and bangs from inside the house before they dragged Ryan outside and threw him in the van."
"Okay I think we're done here for now so we'll get everything back to the lab to process." Rick said.
"What have you got off of Dr Woods's phone?" Rick asked when he entered the AV lab.
"Well she was defiantly called by Ryan but his cell is not registering anywhere in the state or even in the country. In fact it's not registering at all." Dave Benton replied.
"Okay so apart from that?"
"Nothing."
"Right I think it's time I had a chat with our Dr Woods." Rick said before leaving the lab.
"I'm meant to b interrogating you." Rick said as he frowned at Alexx.
"How are we doing?" Alexx asked as she folded her arms and sat back in the chair.
"Good we have found the call but we can't trace Ryan's cell." Rick said.
"And?" Alexx asked raising her eyebrow.
"We have a suspect." Rick replied.
"And who would that be?" Alexx asked. Rick suddenly slammed his hands down on the table.
"You." He snarled before winking.
"What do you think you're doing?" Eric shouted as he stormed into the interrogation room. Alexx hung her head and started to cry.
"Interrogating a suspect." Rick snarled.
"Alexx!" Calleigh gasped as she ran towards the M.E.
"A suspect for what?" Eric asked.
"A suspect in the kidnapping of Ryan Wolfe." Rick snarled.
"What?" Calleigh gasped. "I spoke to him before he left the lab last night."
"Well then I'll be speaking to you too." Rick said.
"Dr Woods I'll ask you again. Do you know Sergey Alexandrov?"
"What have the Russians got to do with this?" Eric asked.
"Sergey Alexandrov's blood was found in Mr. Wolfe's apartment along with a hair belonging to Dr Woods." Rick said.
"I don't know any Russians." Alexx whispered.
"There that's all I needed." Rick said. Alexx ran out of the interrogation room and towards the bathrooms. She was closely followed by Calleigh.
"What the hell are you doing?" Eric snarled.
"Solving a kidnapping and getting your friend back to you." Rick said.
"Wolfe is not my friend." Eric said. "He hid evidence in a murder investigation."
"Do you know why?" Eric tensed.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that you and your girlfriend aren't the only ones being targeted by the Russians. Why don't you try tracking Wolfe's hummer for the night before last? See where he went." Eric paled and Rick stalked off.
Okay so there is the next chapter. So Russian blood was found in the apartment... :o) Please Review!
