Back at the labs Gil Grissom was almost finished putting the glass fragments back together. They lab had quietened down from before. He had four pieces left to put together. He had checked on the fingerprint running through the database but it had still not found a match. He was so focused on putting the glass back together he did not see Conrad Ecklie coming down the corridor and to the open doorway. Grissom continued as Ecklie watched him for a while. He put another two pieces of the glass back into place and moving them round trying for different sides. Grissom then spoke up.

GRISSOM: What is it Ecklie?

ECKLIE: I was wondering if you had any new leads on the kidnapping case?

GRISSOM: Well Ecklie considering I am now the only CSI working on it cause Nick is working on your Mayor's case. It's taking longer to work through the evidence than normal.

ECKLIE: Well where is Catherine?

GRISSOM: Catherine has a family emergency!

ECKLIE: Call her! Get her in here! We need all hands on deck tonight!

GRISSOM: And what will you be doing Ecklie?

ECKLIE: Making sure everyone is doing their work!

GRISSOM: Didn't you used to be a CSI once?

Ecklie smiles a small casual smile and turns. He begins heading back out the doorway. He shouts back to Grissom.

ECKLIE: Get Catherine in here now!

Grissom stops and takes off one of his latex gloves. He takes out his phone walking away from the table and opens his phone pressing two on his speed dial. He put his phone to his ear and waited for Catherine to answer. After two rings there is a click.

GRISSOM: Catherine. I need you in work...

Over the phone Grissom hears a message began to play. His heart sinks.

VOICE: Are you looking for Catherine Willows? Well she is a little tied up right now. Sorry Grissom.

Grissom freezes as the call cuts out. He stands there looking down at the phone. They had got them all. Catherine, Warrick, Greg, Sara and...NICK! Grissom quickly speed dials 5. He puts the phone to his ear. After three rings Nick picks up. Grissom speaks quickly.

STOKES: Yeah Stokes!

GRISSOM: Listen to me carefully Nick you have to get out of there! It's a trap!

Grissom hears the phone cut off. He lost him. He lost Nick too!

CSI CREDITS ROLL OVER THE SCREEN WITH WHO ARE YOU PLAYING.


(Now what's going to happen? Part two of the episode will be after a month break due to writer's strike. I'm joking I wouldn't do that to all you lovely readers. But what of Catherine and poor Nick now? Grissom has no one left, it seems Ecklie may have to get his hands dirty after all. I already have episode two wrote out from years ago.

I would love to hear your thoughts in reviews so please do review my story and follow and favourite the story or myself so you will be ready for the second half of the episode when it comes shortly. Thank you.)
