Notes: This hasn't been beta read so all mistakes are mine.
The CSI team entered the small house and turned right to go into the living room. Three uniformed officers standing just in front of the center wall. Above the
dark green sofa was scrawled a phrase. The words were written in what appeared to be blood:
'Government is not the one true power in this country.'
"Is that what it looks like?"Nick asked grimly hoping he was wrong.
Brass nodded. "Yes, the message appears to be written in blood. What type well that's your job."
"Nick, Sara go down to the basement."Grissom ordered. "Collect everything even if it doesn't look like it goes with the scene."
The two CSI's nodded and quickly left the room.
"Guess this classifies it as a hate crime."Brass stated as Catherine set her equipment kit down.
Grissom shook his head. "More like a revenge crime. After the Rosslyn shooting West Virginia White Pride was shut down."
"Obviously not shut down enough."Catherine replied sadly as she stared at the message on the wall.
Brass cleared his throat. "I'll leave two uniforms here. We'll canvas the neighbors again."
"Okay."Grissom replied as Brass and one of the officers left the house.
*******
Josh approached Brass as he left the house. "What did you find?"he asked anxiously.
Brass stopped telling the other officer to go ahead to the car. He recognized Lyman from the news and knew kid gloves would have to be used with
this case. "Ms. Moss was held here, Mr. Lyman, but the kidnappers have already moved on. I'm about to talk to the neighbors see if they saw anything."
Josh swallowed hard as he looked past the homicide captain to the house. "How long was she here?"he asked quietly dreading the answer. If they had missed
Donna by minutes....
Brass shook his head. "We don't know yet. That's what Grissom and his team are working on. As soon as they have anything new you'll be the first
to know."
"Thanks."Josh replied as he slumped back against the car. He felt so helpless.
**********
Donna squeezed her eyes shut against the painfully bright sunlight as the sedan's trunk was thrown open. A male arm reached in and roughly grabbed Donna's
left wrist painfully wretching her arm so she was in a sitting position. Before Donna had a chance to catch her breath from the pain the arms pulled her from
the small space. Her legs weren't ready to stand yet so Donna fell hard onto the harsh gravel.
The toe of a boot sharply embedded itself in Donna's right side forcing her to roll onto her back.
Just before darkness overwhelmed her Donna's last thought was to wonder if her kidnappers were going to leave her in this bleak place to die.

Sam checked into a hotel near the airport. He pushed the cardkey into the lock of his room and tossed his suitcase on the floor near the wall. Sam
sat down on the bed for a moment's rest before he reached for the phone.
He needed to find Josh and find out what was going on.
