Once the plane reached cruising altitude Sam reached for the phone on the back of the seat in front of him. The Captain had already announced that
barring any weather problems they would land in Las Vegas ahead of schedule.
But Sam knew that with what Josh was going through that wasn't nearly soon enough.
Sam leaned back in his seat and dialed Josh's cell phone number. Part of him wasn't surprised to receive his friend's voice mail. Sam ran a weary hand over
his face as he left a message.
'Josh, it's Sam. I just got back into town and Leo told me what happened. I turned around and took the first flight I could to Vegas. I should be there by
three at the latest.
Hang in there.....Donna is one of the strongest people I know. She'll come home."

The CSI team arrived at 426 Paradise road and piled out of the vechicles.
As Brass approached Grissom turned back to the car where Josh stood. "Get back in the car and stay there. As soon as we know anything I'll tell you."
Part of Josh wanted to protest but he knew getting on Grissom's bad side was not a way to help Donna. "Okay."
As Nick and Sara came to stand at Catherine's right Brass asked Grissom. "Who's your friend?"
"Josh Lyman, White House Deputy Chief of Staff. He's Donna Moss's boss."Gil replied as he took off his sunglasses. "What do we have?"
Brass nodded and gestured that the quartet move away from Lyman. "Moss isn't here."he reported in a low voice. "But she was here and there's something
in the living room that you should see."
"How'd you hear about this?"Nick asked as he glanced at the house.
"This used to be a fairly major drug house. It's on Vice's watch list. Somebody saw activity and went to take a look. She was held in the basement there's
blood in the basement and frayed ropes."Brass replied as they turned and walked toward the house.
"You said something was in the living room?"Sara asked as she shifted her evidence kit to her right hand.
Brass nodded. "Yeah, kidnappers left a message."

CJ walked to the press podium for the scheduled late morning briefing. So far there hadn't been any questions about Donna's disappearnce but CJ knew
it was only a matter of time. She had wanted to say something at the first briefing in the theory that get all information out there as possible to get Donna
home sooner. But Toby had vetoed it saying that they didn't want to risk Donna's safety by having a press frenzy. They had decided if the press
asked the questions she would answer them but otherwise Donna's disappearnce would not be brought up.
CJ glanced out at the group of reporters and forced a smile. "Good morning. First those traveling with the President to New Zealand next week see Carol
for your travel packages. The schedule I gave you yesterday for the trip is the official one and so far there has been no changes. But we all know how that
goes."
"CJ!"
"CJ!"
"First Patrick, then Tracy."CJ replied as she pointed out reporters who had raised hands.
Patrick stood notebook in hand. "CJ, it's hit the wires that Josh Lyman's assistant has gone missing in Vegas can you confirm?"
CJ nodded. "Yes. Her name is Donna Moss she's been Josh's assistant for the past three years. She was on vacation with a friend in Vegas when their hotel
room was broken into. Donna's friend was killed, name is being with held until police notify the next of kin. There's been no ransom demand."
"Are the police approaching it as a robbery?"Patrick asked as he jotted information down.
"They haven't released that information yet. As soon as there's any information I'll pass it along."CJ replied as she glanced at a black woman. "Tracy?"
"CJ, what's the status on the H.R. 5007?"
