Pairings: Josh/Donna, possibly Nick/Donna, Grissom/Sara

Summary: During a vacation to Las Vegas Donna Moss disappears. Can the CSI team find her in time?
Spoilers: general, WW--season three--Simon reference
Notes: This hasn't been beta read so all mistakes are mine
Donna slowly awoke and she instantly became disoriented. The only thing that registered was the intense pain her body was in. She had no idea where she was
or what had happened. As the pain ebbed the memories slowly returned.
Vacation in Vegas.....one week of fun and sun.
Hotel room.....men grabbing them from behind as they entered the room.
Long knifes.....screams.....
Donna squeezed her eyes shut as Beth's terrified face appeared in her mind's eye. She had tried to help her friend but the men had been too strong. As tears
flowed Donna struggled to remember why the men attacked them. But try as she might Donna couldn't remember them saying anything not even asking
for money.
A shudder flowed through Donna and she leaned back against the wall. If they had only told them what they wanted she and Beth would've given it to them. But
then Donna realized she was looking at this rationally while her attackers clearly weren't.
Donna glanced at the drab faded yellow door and wondered bleakly if her captors were coming back or if they had left her here to die.

Grissom paused just as Catherine left to get Josh Lyman. "Catherine?"
"Yeah?"Willows asked as she turned back to face her boss.
"Did you and Brass get any hits off the security tapes?"Grissom inquired.
Catherine shook her head. "Not yet. Brass's officers are still looking through them."
Gil nodded. "Okay. Let everybody know this case is high priority."
"Will do."Catherine acknowleged as she went to meet the Deputy Chief of Staff.

"Any word from Josh?"President Jed Bartlet asked as he stepped into the Oval office. The senior staff had just exited after concluding the morning staff meeting.
Chief of Staff Leo McGarry shook his head sadly. "No, but give him a little time he just landed a half hour ago."
"Have the Press gotten a hold of it?"Bartlet inquired as he sat down.
Leo sat down in one of the visitor's chairs. "No, so far only the local Vegas media has wind of it. They're covering the murder but so far the police have managed
to keep Donna's disappearance and her identity under wraps. CJ's keeping a close eye on it."
"Good."Bartlet affrimed as he leaned back. "The last thing they need is to deal with a media frenzy. Tell the Vegas police that whatever they need in the search
I'll get them."
"I will, Mr. President."Leo stated as he stood. "I have a meeting with Toby on the thing but I'll let you know as soon as there's anything new."
"Thanks Leo."

Josh paused in his pacing as a blonde haired woman approached from one of the hallways toward the rear of the reception area.
"Mr. Lyman, my name is Catherine Willows."The woman stated as she extended her right hand with a kind smile. "If you'll follow me my boss can brief you."
"Josh, please."Josh replied as he shook her hand and then as she started to walk he fell in step with her. "Have you found Donna?"
Catherine shook her head. "Not yet but we do have every availiable person working on this."
Just then they reached Gil Grissom's open office door and Catherine stepped aside so Josh could enter first.
Gil rose from his chair and leaned over the desk extending his hand. "Mr. Lyman, my name is Gil Grissom. Please have a seat."
Josh sat down in the chair oppisite Grissom while Catherine sat down in the chair next to him. "Please, call me Josh."
Grissom nodded as he sat back in his chair as he said. "Josh, I know you just got off a plane so I'll....."
"All my boss was able to tell me was that Donna's friend had been murdered and that she was missing."Josh stated as he stood not caring at the moment
if he was interupting. "I've read the crime stats, Mr. Grissom, what are the odds that she's still alive?"
"I don't go by odds."Grissom replied as he met Lyman's gaze. "I assure you my team and I will do everything possible to find your friend."
