Chapter 9

Mandy continued to cry then Robert came out. " That was great." He said wiping his mouth.

" You stupid son of a bitch!" Mandy yelled back.

" You know what I'm going to end your misery once and for all would you like that?"

" Do I have a choice?"

" No!" He laughed.

Nick and the rest of the team were out looking for Mandy. Secula put her hand on Nick's shoulder as they were driving to Jen's house. Sara looked at Secula and then at Nick. Sara recently dumped Hank because she had feelings for someone, someone that might not like her at all. Secula turned toward Sara. Sara looked out the window. " Will find Mandy." Secula said in a reassuring voice. Although Secula always thought that Nick and her would get married and have a family but one beat the other and she was a little hurt by that but it didn't mean she wasn't going to try. As the team pulled up to The house. Ecklie and Jen were waiting outside.

" I don't know who could have done this." Ecklie said. Nick got really pissed.

" Your son of a bitch brother did it. He kidnaped her, raped her and for all we know killed her!"

" You're the son of a bitch Stokes! Why you wouldn't be able to tell if a hooker was quitting or not. What is it with you and hookers a cheap thrill?"

" You know I would like to ask you the same question or better yet your fiancee."

" If your admitting she's a hooker then you laid two hookers the only difference is one got pregnant."

" Stop it!"Jen said. " I wasn't a hooker okay I never was. Mandy got upset because I'd experiment with guys and neglect her and speaking of Mandy were the hell is she?" Nick stared at Ecklie then walked inside to her room. Everyone else in the team looked at Ecklie with disgust. Warrick wanted to spit at him but that would have made him a jerk to. As the team went into Mandy's room the noticed that there was no sign of struggle so it happened else were. Grissom took the living room while Catherine and Warrick took the basement. Nick sat down on Mandy's bed with Jessica and Sara by his side.

" You know what Ecklie's right." Nick said.

" No he's not." Sara said, " You're one of the best CSIs, I mean you were published in Crime Stoppers alright and compared to Ecklie innocent people went to jail while murders walked." Nick liked Sara, maybe even more than he thought. Sara had this convincing voice that put people who were down back up. Nick then turned toward Secula. Secula was that one person that you just couldn't call back after a date and Nick realized that no matter how much dates he went on with her it just wasn't there. " Well I guess we should start working." Nick said. As the team started to work the realized that whatever happened to Mandy happened outside since clearly there was no evidence inside. As Grissom looked at the front step he noticed a tiny blot of blood.

" Catherine, get this back to Greg, A.S.A.P." As Catherine left in the Tahoe, Grissom and the remaining CSIs followed the blood drops.

" Looks like the car was parked at the curb." Warrick called as he picked up the last sample of blood. " If we find the car will find the blood." Nick looked at everyone then thought.

" When I found Mandy at the woods there was a Tahoe, I didn't get the licence plate but it's worth a shot to look." As the team packed up the realized they were a little closer to finding Mandy.

Back at the Lab Greg had just finished taking the blood sample. " This indeed belongs to Mandy." Greg said. " But the samples you gave me are very little."

" Wait I'm not getting you?" Warrick said.

" Well the blood sample is like a nic, from shaving possibly or a small cut from a knife nothing threatening."

" Thanks Greg." Nick said.

" Hey I'm worried about her to man we all are." Greg said.

" Ya and I appreciate it but what I don't appreciate is why Ecklie won't consider the odds." Sara stopped and perked up.

" Maybe he knows and is trying to protect his brother. Why don't we pay another visit to his resident and a visit to his brother.

" Please!" Mandy begged as the gun was held to her head. " Please don't shoot!"
