Alison helped Linda pack the bags. Danny was getting some death threats because of a case he had to testify in that week. So he wanted Linda and the kids to stay with their Dad until things die down.

"How long are you staying at Dad's," Alison asked, grabbing the bags for Sean and Jack.

"Oh, I don't know how long are you going to be dating Greg before you get married." Alison rolled her eyes.

"You're as bad as Erin. I don't know. I haven't told him yet." Linda looked over at her.

"What you've been dating for almost a year." Alison closed her eyes, the memories fighting to take control.

"I don't want him to leave. It's a lot having to deal with. I mean, look at my apartment."

"Well, if he is half the man Danny says he is, he won't run," Linda said just as the doorbell went off.

"I hope your right. But I can't blame him if he does." Alison said as Linda opened the door. Alison turned her back to grab the two bags, one in both hands as Linda talked to the man. She stepped out of the house, and the man shut the door behind then.

"I didn't know you would be her Detective Reagan." The man said, seeming slightly fazed by her presence. The hair on the back of her neck stood up. Alison dropped the bags reaching for her gun just as she got hit in the back of the head, knocking her out.

Danny sat at his desk, going over his notes for his testimony.

"Hey, Reagan, your wife decide to drive by herself to your old man's house." Danny tilted her head.

"What are talk'n about." He called back to the officer.

"She never answered the door." Danny stood up to call Linda. She should have answered the door.

Alison was supposed to be over there to help. If he was honest, keep Linda safe until the cops came to pick them up. The phone rang, and a man answered it.

"Hello, detective," the man said.

"Who's this," Danny asked.

"This is your worst nightmare." He said back.

"Come on, put Lin on the phone," Danny said.

"She's not available right now and won't be until you decide not to testify against Salazar in the grand jury hearing." The man said, causing Danny to hold his breath.

"Who is this. Let me speak to my wife right now." Danny demanded.

"She kind of pretty Keep her that way, And amigo don't try to find her or we'll know about it. Oh, and know that I have a spare." The man said.

"If you hurt one hair on her head, I promise you…" Danny said.

"Don't make promises you can't keep your wife's lives depend on it. And your sister's." The phone went dead.

"Hello," Danny said, but there was nothing. He punched the file cabinmate next to him. He took in a deep breath as memories flooded his mind. He needed to act and fast.

Frank and Henry stood in the kitchen, making dinner for Sean and Jack. They came over after school and were just waiting for Danny and Linda.

"Nothing like a grilled cheese sandwich on a chilly night."

Henry said as Frank took the pot of soup off the stove.

"What did you tell the kids when you picked them up?"

Frank asked while he filled the bowls.

"I…" Henry started but was stopped when Danny walked through the back door. His eyes were red, and his breath quick.

"Hey, Where's Sean and Jack?" Frank set the pot down his son's demeanor concerning him.

"In doing homework." He explained his voice even.

"Don't worry. They don't know anything?" Danny had told them about the threats earlier, but they had done their best to keep it from the boys.

"Daddy!" The boy called out running over and giving Danny a hug. Frank couldn't hide the smile at the sight of his son enveloping his boys in an enormous hug.

"Daddy, great-grandpa picked us up with two men in a cop car!" Sean said in excitement. Danny smiled at his youngest.

"Well, I used to have your grandpa's job remember." Henry said, noting the surprised expression on Frank's face. "I thought it would be fun for them." He defended.

"Where's Mom?" Jack asked, looked at the door.

"Um, Mom's going to stay at a spa tonight, boys." Frank looked over at Henry, hearing Danny's words.

Linda was supposed to stay with them.

"It's an early Birthday gift.

That way, it can be a boy's night out.

Just you guys, okay?" Danny smiled over at Henry and Frank, and they returned it.

"Well, when is she coming back?" Jack asked.

"Jack, I have a feeling you know where I hide the video games."

Frank said before Danny had to answer.

"I do, Grandpa." He replied with a smile.

"Well, I'm feeling generous tonight." Frank said looking at his watch. "You got exactly one hour." The two boys didn't bother to say anything. Turning and running to get to them. Danny looked at his Dad and grandfather.

"What's wrong, Danny?" Frank asked.

"They got Linda…" Henry brought his hand to his face and Frank took a step back at the news. "And Alison." Frank closed his eyes, fighting back the emotions.

"What happened." Danny looked down.

"I called Linda, and a man answered the phone telling me that I shouldn't testify if I want to see Linda again. He also mentioned that he had Al, so he has a spare if I tried anything."

Danny said.

"The boys can stay here. You don't need to worry about them."

Frank said, and Danny nodded.

"They were posing as cops. A neighbors security camera caught it all on film. They jumped Alison before she could do anything and drugged Linda.

From what we could tell, it looks like they weren't planning on Alison being there." Danny explained.

"We will get them, Danny." Henry said, grabbing Franks's arm.

"Dad, how do you think she will handle it." Danny asked quietly. Frank took a deep breath.

"We can only pray that she is able to push the fear down, wanting to keep Linda safe." Frank said, shaking his head.

"I hope you're right, but what if she doesn't." Frank closed his eyes, fighting back the emotions.

"She won't make it out of this alive."

Alison opened her eyes and was greeted by a small bathroom.

Looking around, she spotted something that sent chills down her spine. Linda was sitting on the other side of the room. Her eyes were closed, and she wasn't moving. It was too dark for her to be able to tell if she was breathing.

Alison tried to call out to her, but there was a gag on her mouth, much like the one on Linda's. Her hands were bound behind her back, but her legs were free.

She stretched her leg as far as she could and was just able to hit her foot. Linda opened her eyes. They were wide with fear. Alison tapped her foot, trying to reassure her, but it wasn't much good when she was just as scared as her. The door next to Linda opened and a man in a suit bent down next to Linda. He caressed her face and Linda trembled in fear. Alison's blood boiled, and she kicked at him. He stabbed her foot with a knife that he was hiding and spat at her. Alison screamed through the gag shutting her eyes against the pain.

"Don't forget that I don't need two of you." He said, then shut the door, leaving them in darkness.

Frank sat in the coffee shop, waiting for Jamie and Erin.

He wanted to be with Danny looking for Linda and Alison, but he wouldn't be much help. Jamie walked into the shop and gave him a big smile.

"Hey, Dad, what's going on?" He asked.

"Thanks for coming." Frank said, then took a sip of coffee to hide the emotion in his voice.

"Yeah." Jamie said, taking a seat.

"Erin's going to join us." He said, barely looking Jamie in the eyes.

"Oh." Was all Jamie could say.

"Want something to eat." Frank asked.

"No, I'm good. I got to get back." Jamie said as Erin walked into the shop.

"Here, she is." Frank said. Erin walked over but slowed the closer she got to the table.

"Something's Happened." She said, taking a seat. The two looked at Frank for an explanation, and he struggled with the words. Finally, taking a deep breath, he said it.

"They have Linda…and Alison." Erin put her hands to her mouth.

"What about the boy's" was all Jamie could say.

"They're safe. They're with Pop," Frank reassured them

"What are we going to do." Erin asked, fighting back the tears.

"Well, It is um…my considered opinion that if this gets out if the media gets ahold of it. They wont have much of a chance. Alison is well trained, but I just don't know how she will handle this situation." Frank said, fighting back his emotions.

Frank stood in his office, listening to Baker talk about the schedule when he finally stopped her.

"Linda and Alison have been taken." He said plainly.

"I'll clear the schedule, sir." She started to leave when something dawned on him.

"Get Detective CSI Sanders in here." She nodded and walked out. It took about 30 minutes for Greg to get to his office. He came in and gave him a smile that was never quite straight.

"Sir, what can I do for you." He asked. Frank pointed to the seat in front of his desk. Greg took his coat off and sat down.

"I'm going to tell you something that you cannot repeat to anyone. The only reason I am telling you is because I believe you love my daughter." Greg tensed, looking at him.

"Understood." He said.

"Yesterday, Linda was taken in an effort to get Danny not to testify in a case. Alison was with her at the time and was also taken." Greg took a deep breath nodding.

"Are there any leads." Frank smiled.

"Not to their location." Frank said, Greg, looking at that stack of files.

"Are these for the case." Frank nodded. "Can I help? I'm good at looking at evidence, and there is no way I can go home after this." Frank smiled.

"I hoped you would say that." Greg grabbed a file then looked up at Frank.

"Sir, I don't know what happened to Alison, but I know it wasn't good. How do you think she is going to handle this." He said Frank took a deep breath.

"As terrible as it is to say this, she is probably doing better because Linda is there. She will feel like she has to protect her and won't have time this think about her past."

Frank said plainly.

"But, they only need one." Greg said his voice catching slightly. "Sir, they aren't going to pick Alison." Frank looked out the window. His lip was quivering slightly.

"No, they're not."

Frank and Greg got to the scene before Danny. There was a report of a car fire with two bodies in it.

"Sir, let me look." Greg said, and Frank nodded. Greg ran over to the car, taking a deep breath and looked. Two unfamiliar faces greeted him. He dropped to his knees, feeling light-headed then stood back up, walking over to Frank.

"It's not them." Frank nodded.

Danny pulled up, and Frank and Greg went to intercept him.

"It's not them." Frank said Danny tried to push past him, but Greg held him still. It was easy since Greg was taller than him.

"It's not them. Are you alright?" Greg asked Danny seeing the color drain from his friend's face. He nodded, and the three walked over to the car.

Frank gave Danny the details.

Greg and Frank walked into the house where Erin and Henry were going over the phone records.

"How's Danny." Erin asked.

"I sent him back to the station to get some sleep." Frank said.

"What about you." Henry asked Greg.

"I won't sleep until I have Alison back safe and sound."

Greg said, sitting down to look at the phone records.

"Greg, Erin had an idea of something that went over my head."

Henry said Greg looked at Erin.

"I thought that we might be able to look at where two phones were purchased. He might have bought a second one." Erin said Greg nodded in agreement.

"Look, you're already thinking like a CSI." He said, making them all smile.

Alison slowly moved her hands up and down on the pipe she was tied to. Linda had finally been able to fall asleep. Alison had to get her out of here. She bulled her hands as hard as she could ripping her bonds. She crawled over to Linda, touching her gently. Linda jolted, pulling back. Alison held her hand up, motioning her to be quiet. Linda nodded, and Alison got the tape off of her.

She got to her feet but couldn't put any weight on her foot that had been stabbed earlier. Linda helped steady her, and they made it over to the window.

The two of them were able to get the window open. Just then, there was the sound of footsteps coming toward them. Alison leaned against the door to help barricade the door.

"Go." She said to Linda. Linda hesitated for a moment.

"What about you." Linda said after getting out the window onto the fire escape.

"I cant walked now. Go." Linda hesitated for a moment then was gone. The door was easily push open. Alison backed into the corner, closing her eyes.

Linda made her way down the fire escape. Her heart was pounding. Just as she hit the street, she heard Alison scream. Linda wanted to go back and help, but getting help was the best way to do it. She rounded the corner and found a small shop. Linda opened the door and ran up to the older man behind the counter.

"I need help. People are after me. At that moment, Linda saw one of the men run up the street.

"Get behind the counter." The man said, motioning her to move quickly. Linda did as she was told and hid behind a curtain just, and the door opened.

"Can I help you." The old man asked. Linda heard a gun co.

"I'm looking for a woman now where is she." Linda held her breath at the words.

"I saw a woman run toward the main street. She wasn't going fast; you could probably catch her if you hurry." Linda waited a horribly long moment when the door opened and closed again. The old man pulled back the curtain, handing her a phone. She looked at it for a moment, trying to decide who to call finally she dialed the number.

"Commissioner's office." The woman, on the other end, said.

"This is Linda Regan, the…." She was cut off by the phone transfer.

"Linda, where are you." Frank said, not wasting any time. Linda gave the address and described the building that Alison was still being held.

"Please hurry Frank. They still have Alison."

Greg and Danny were pouring over evidence looking for any sign as to where they were being held. The phone on the side of his desk rang. Danny answered it listening for a moment he snapped his finger at Greg, motioning him to follow him.

"Thanks, Dad." Danny said then hung the phone up. "Linda got away and gave Dad a call giving an address." They got into the car strapping on their gear.

"What about Alison." Greg asked as they got closer to the location.

"She is still with them." Danny said, Greg took a deep breath and nodded. They got to the location and pulled up in front of a shop.

The door to the shop opened, and Linda ran up to Danny, hugging him.

"Linda, are you alright." Danny said, holding her close.

"Yes…yes go get Alison." She said through tears. Danny motioned a paramedic over handing her off.

"We will get her. Stay with them." Danny and Greg ran up to the front of the house, pulling their guns.

Danny made the call, and they all enter the house. Danny went down a set of stairs toward the basement, and Greg went up. Just as Danny was about to make it to the bottom, someone grabbed his foot, causing him to trip. The man dove for the gun, but Danny pushed him out of the way. Rolling to his feet, pointing his gun at the man.

"Alison…Alison," Danny called. Greg and Jackie came down the stairs. Jackie went over and cuffed the guy. Danny ran toward a room where he could hear muffled screams. He pushed the door open and spotted Alison tied to a bed.

She started to cry, but with the tape, over her mouth, she began to convulse.

"Hey…Hey, kid, I'm here wait." Danny said, taking the tape off her mouth.

"Danny, did you find Linda." She asked her voice raspy.

"Yeah, that's how we found you." He untied her hands. He wanted to pull her into his arms but stopped himself. She, in turn, wrapped her arms around him. He relaxed slightly, not having hugged her like this in years.

"I'm sorry I didn't protect her." Alison said in his ear. He pulled back, looking at her.

"You have nothing to be sorry about. We got them, and now let get you two home." There was a knock on the door, and Danny knew by the look on Alison's face that it was Greg.

"We got everyone, Danny. We can take Ally out if she's alright to move." Greg said, keeping his voice low as though he didn't want to spook her. Danny stood up.

"I'm going to go check on Linda. Greg, will you help Alison out." Danny said winking at Alison. He grabbed Greg's arm right as he left, lowering his voice. "Don't push her." He said then left the two alone. Alison held out her hand for him to help her to her feet. Greg shook his head, bending over.

"May I carry you out." He asked softly, not wanting to hurt her. She glanced down at her foot, which he now saw was bleeding.

"That might be best." He scooped her up with little effort. Alison letting out a small gasp when she caught her foot on the door frame.

"Sorry." Greg said, changing his grip. Alison wrapped her arms around his neck, making it easier for him to walk up the stairs.

"Don't be sorry, please, I can't handle any more sorry people."

She said, her voice curt. "My family will be sorry. My coworkers will be sorry. Everyone will be sorry this happened. I can't have you, sorry." She said, leaning her head on his shoulder. Her breath brushing his neck.

"Then consider it done. No more sorry. Just know I love you. and I'm here to listen." She closed her eyes, smiling.

"I love you too.

They all sat down at the table to eat dinner.

"Where is Aunt Alison." Sean asked.

"I'm right here." Alison said, slowly making her way into the dining room. She moved slowly with a pair of crutches for her foot. At the sight of her, Jamie ran over and helped her to her seat.

"What are you doing down here you should be recovering." Erin said, Sean, Jack, and Nicky seemed focused on the crutches. Noticing this, she smiled.

"Are you kidding me dinner with the family is the best kind of medicine." She hugged Nicky.

"I'm glad you're alright." Nicky whispered.

"Me too," She said. "Where are Danny and Linda." Alison asked her Dad.

"They must be running late." He explained.

"I miss Mommy and Daddy." Sean said. Henry put his hand on his shoulder.

"You have been a real trooper, you too, Jack." The back door opened.

"Hey, we're here." Danny called out.

"Mommy." The boy's called out. Linda ran over to them, giving them hugs.

"There they are." Frank said to them. Danny and Greg walked in. Alison had been released earlier since she hadn't been drugged like Linda was. She was on antibiotics for her foot. Frank had made sure she got out as early as possible. Jamie had picked her up since Danny was busy with Linda, and Greg had to help Jackie clear the scene. He walked over to her, not hugging her but standing close to her.

"Welcome back." Erin said to Linda. Greg sat next to Alison.

"Sorry, I'm late. I'm glad you're alright." He gently touched the back of her head she smiled.

"Me too, did you get everything sorted out." Greg grabbed her hand.

"Yeah, Messer and Lindsay are finishing up. Everyone wanted me to tell you to get better soon."

Alison smiled.

"Hey, if we wait any longer, the fish and chips are going to get cold." Henry called out, making the family laugh. Greg gently grabbed her hand, making her blush.

"Mommy, Grandpa, let us stay up until midnight playing videogames," Sean said.

"What," Linda said, trying to hide the smile on her face.

"Hey, what did I tell you." Henry said.

"Whatever happens with Grandpa stays with Grandpa." Jack replied. Frank cleared his throat.

"I would like to say something. Uh, I don't want to get corny. But I would just like to say that uh I feel very lucky to have you all here. And I know your mother and your grandmother would feel the same way. I know people don't make time for things like this, but I'm glad we do. Family is what makes you strong. Linda, I'm glad you had a good time at the spa." Alison whipped a tear from her eye.

"Why, thank you." Was all Linda could say.

"I thought Linda, you might want to say grace."

Alison sat on the couch, her foot on a pillow. Greg walked in, sitting next to her.

"I what you to know that I was really scared when your Dad told me you were missing." Alison's mouth twitched into an almost smile.

"Well, we're all home now. Everything will go back to the way it was."

"Yeah, it will be nice to have our normal lives back." She let out a dark laugh at his words and he closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath he turned looking at her. "You don't have to tell me I can wait until you are ready." Alison took a deep breath.

"What if I'm never ready." Greg brushed a hair out of her face.

"Then that's your choice. I know you Alison and I love you. But I don't what you to tell me out of obligation I want you to trust me. No matter what, I'll be here." She gave a small nod then pointed at a photo album on the shelf.

"Go get that." Greg did what she told him sitting back down next to her. She flipped to a picture. It was her and her family. He had seen one like it on her des. "This is the last picture we all had together. My Mom died a few months later and then…it happened." She looked around then finding that they were alone continued slowly. Her voice full of emotions. "I was attending MIT. I had gone to a party in Manhattan on a Friday night. My siblings had always given me a hard time about how I was missing out on the college experience. I was home for the weekend, and there was a party some of my friends were going to.

So I went. But I didn't drink anything or do anything crazy. On my way home, he got me." Alison closed her eyes. Her body starting to tremble.

"You don't have to continue." Greg said, noticing the water forming in her eyes. Alison shook her head.

"No, I'm fine. He held me for six long horrible months. He hooked me up to a heart monitor. He wanted me to watch myself die slowly. That continued until one day, he pulled out a gun and shot me.

He left me to die. I would have died if I hadn't been found. The last thing I would have heard would have been the beeping of that machine." Greg whipped his eyes, looking at her.

"That's why you have a problem with hospitals." She gave a small nod. "It's the sound I can't listen to heart monitors. All I can remember is watching my life slowly slipping away." Greg looked at the picture she was smiling. It was a different smile than the one she had now. It was innocent that man had taken it away for her.

"That must be hard." Alison looked over at him, her eyes wide.

"No, the hard part is that he's still out there, and he killed six other women." A chill ran down his spine.

"Are there any leads." Alison looked away.

"No, my file is the bottom one of Mac's pile." Greg closed his eyes. Mac, like many of the Detectives at the labs, kept a stack of open cases that had stuck with them but gone cold. If one got a lead, it was moved to the top. The fact that hers was at the bottom showed how long it had been.

Greg looked down at her shaking hand.

Gently reaching over, grabbing it, and kissing the back of it. "You can read my file if you want. I give everyone permission to if they want the details. You just have to ask Mac." Greg turned, so he was facing her.

"I don't need to." Alison gave a small nod.

"Thank you." Greg shook his head.

"Don't thank me. I just wish I could help." Alison kissed him.

"Don't treat me any differently, and that's help enough."
