Donna jumped as the door to the shack slammed open and banged against the wall. She blinked several times to focus
her eyes. She must have dozed off or slipped unconscience. Donna hoped it was the former.
"Again I ask why we're still here."Mr. Pony Tail asked as he walked in and dropped four shopping bags on the floor almost
at Donna's feet.
"We've covered that already."the leader replied as he moved to examine the bags. "Did you get everything?"
"Got what I could. That place wasn't exactly a surplus of ammo."
"It'll do."The leader replied as he stood.
"Why ain't we just leavin' her here?"One of the others spoke up as he pushed himself away from the wall. "She'll die
within a few days without food and water. They know by now that we have her. We'd still get our message out. There's
no need for more blood to be spilled."
"Did I ever give the impression that this plan was up for discussion?!"The leader shouted causing the men to snap
to attention. "We will do it this way because this is our destiny. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Sir!"
"Now let's get to work setting up camp."

Danny Concanon slid into a booth in a small resturant a few blocks from the White House. The street lights
were just coming on.
Danny studied the Press Secratary with concern. CJ was pale, deep circles under her eyes and the bowl of soup in
front of her looked untouched.
"I can send it back to the chef if it's not good enough."
"Danny."CJ replied waringly as she pushed the soup bowl aside. "Thanks for coming."
"Anytime. You okay?"
CJ shook her head. "No, and I need a favor."
The waitress arrived and Danny ordered an iced tea. He waited until the woman left before asking. "What do you
need?"
"You have a few friends at CNN, right?"
Danny nodded as the waitress returned with his iced tea. "Yeah, why?"
"Do you need anything else?"The waitress asked.
CJ shook her head. "No, thank you."
After the woman left CJ continued. "They're not dropping Donna's story no matter what I tried. If the people that
have her get spooked by a news copter she's dead."
Danny pulled out his cell phone. "I'll see what I can do. How's Josh holding up?"
CJ shook her head sadly. "He's a wreck. He's in Vegas now working with the police trying to find her."
"Are they sure the WVWP has her?"Danny asked he had heard rumors.
CJ turned to look out the window. "Yes. Secret Service received a fax claiming responsibility. The house where Donna was
being held they found a message written in blood on the living rooom wall."
Danny's face paled. "Was it Donna's?"
"No, animal blood."
Danny set the phone on the table. "Was the message anit-Bartlet?"
"No, it was anti-government."
CJ didn't go into details about the message and Danny didn't press her. He knew how hard it was for her to
call in a favor. Especially with their history.
"They'll find her, CJ.She'll be okay."Danny stated hoping he sounded reassuring. "Donna's too stubborn to let a
little thing like a kidnapping stop her."
CJ pulled her gaze from the window."I hope you're right, Danny. I really do. But I have a bad feeling
about this. They've wanted to hurt us since Rosslyn and I'm afraid they may have found a way."
*******
Josh trudged into the building that housed CSI's lab and offices. His head was drooped slightly, hands shoved deep in
his pants pockets. Josh could feel the exhaustion seeping into every bone and muscle in his body. But he couldn't
give into sleep yet.
As they approached the security station Grissom authorized Sam's visitor pass and handed it to him.
"Thanks."Sam acknowledged as he clipped it to his shirt.
Grissom nodded and looked over at Josh as they began walking again."I'll have a cott set up in one of the
empty offices so you can get some rest."
Josh shook his head. "We've been over this. I'm not resting until Donna is safe."
Grissom stopped. "The human body can only go so long without rest. If you care about Donna as much as you say you
do you'll let your body rest. Josh, you won't be any good to her or us if you collaspe from exhaustion."
"I want to be there if something happens."Josh protested.
"You will be."Sam promised. "I'll wake you as soon as we know anything.Just grab a few hours sleep."
"Okay."Josh relented.
