"I knew there had to be something here."Sara muttered as she carefully plucked a piece of thread from one of the
smaller pieces of rope.
"Hey."Nick greeted as the entered the lab."What'd you find?"
"Piece of thread."Sara replied as she put the thread into a small plastic bag. "Could be from a shirt."
"I'll take it over to Greg."Nick offered as he reached over to take the evidence bag.
"Thanks."Sara replied as she looked at his tired expression with concern. "Did you get any sleep?"
Nick shook his head. "Got about ten minutes so I took a shower instead, changed and came back."
"You haven't heard then."
Nick had started walking toward the door but turned back. "Heard what?"
"We might finally have a break in the Moss case. Warrick found a fingerprint on the Anderson body and Brass
got a description from a witness."
"That's great news."Nick replied with a smile. "I'll get this over to Greg and hopefully we can add one more
piece to the puzzle."

"Mr.Lyman?"Grissom asked as he gently shook Josh's shoulder."Josh?"
Josh opened his eyes slowly. "Mr. Grissom? Something happen?"
Grissom nodded as he sat down on the corner of the desk oppisite Josh's cott. "Yes and I promised to keep
you updated."
Josh swallowed hard as he sat up. "Did you find Donna?"
"Not yet."Grissom replied. "But I think we are getting close. We might have a lead on the person who took her.
We're waiting for the fingerprint database to come back with a match."
"How long will that take?"Josh asked as he stood. More than anything he wanted to be out on the street looking
for Donna. It was killing him that he wasn't able to be doing that. They had no idea where to start. No idea
if she was even still in Las Vegas.
"Could take minutes could take hours."Grissom replied."It depends if the person is in the system or not."
"And if you get a match how do you go about looking for Donna?"Josh asked as he began to pace."We don't even
know if she's still in the state or not."
Grissom stood. "We start by looking at credit card statements, phone records. Everybody leaves a paper trail. Also
Captain Brass is running the convience store clerk's description through the Feds face recognition software. It may
match up with our fingerprint or it could be another person entirely who's not involved with this."
"Yeah just another nutcase stockpiling ammo."Josh stated bitterly.
"I have to get back to the lab."Grissom said as he moved toward the door. "You and Mr. Seaborn can wait in my office."
"Thank you."Josh replied as he followed the older man out of the room.

".....at this hour there is still no new leads or word of a ransom note in the kidnapping of White House staffer,
Donnatella Moss. The Bartlet administration has been very quiet only confirming that Moss is missing.
As soon as more information becomes available we will break in to regular programming. Now to Terry Irvin who is
standing by with stock market news...."
Toby Ziegler reached for the remote on his desk and snapped off the tv in disgust. He fought the urge to throw the
device across the room. It might help him feel better but it wouldn't solve anything. Instead Toby sat the remote
back down on his desk and leaned back in his chair closing his eyes.
Despite his best efforts Toby's thoughts drifted back to that night at Rosslyn. He had been the one to find Josh after
the shooting. In the waiting room Toby had been the one to tell Donna that Josh had been shot. For the rest of his
years he'd never forget the look on her face.
A knock on his door forced Toby to open his eyes. "Yeah?"
"Senator Collins is here."Ginger reported her voice quiet.
Toby nodded and straightened in his chair. "Give me two minutes then send her in."
"Okay."Ginger replied she stepped halfway out the doorway before turning back. "Any word on Donna?"
"No."Toby replied sadly.
Ginger nodded before she turned and walked back into the bullpen.
