Chapter 10

" Any last words before I kill you?" Robert asked.

" Ya, go to hell you stupid son of a bitch!" Mandy said in return. Robert dropped his gun and cornered her.

" One more smart reaction from you and you won't talk at all."

" Does this mean your going to pull out all my baby teeth?" Mandy asked in a mocking tone.

" Shut-up, you know I have better idea." Robert said as he picked up the phone.

Back at the lab the pager went off. " Mr. Stokes Telephone on line one." Nick dashed to the phone.

" Hello?" He said.

" Hi Stokes now listen to me where are you?"

" In the break room." He said unaware of the voice.

" Good is anyone with you?"

" Ya."

" Put the phone on speaker." As Nick did that the crew listened closely. " I thought you'd like to hear this."

" Dad!" Mandy said. Everyone in the room went silent.

" So you know how she's doing she'll tell you. So Mandy how do you feel?"

" Like an abandon house." She replied. " By the way Robert could you fix the rope straight across my leg it's sore."

" I like to see you suffer. So tell your dad are you having fun?"

" Circus, Circus." Mandy replied.

" Goodbye Stokes and crew." Then the phone ringer went off.

" That son of a bitch, well can we track down the place on the phone?"

" It was a cell phone." Warrick replied. As the team sat there Grissom was thinking then stopped.

" Nick you got a clever kid." Everyone looked at Grissom. " Think about the conversation." Everyone did. " Remember what Mandy." Everyone did.

" What she said didn't make any sense." Catherine said as she thought about it.

" Well what she meant was she's in an abandon house straight across from Circus Circus." Everyone thought about it and it made perfect sense now that Grissom interpreted it. As the team approached the abandon house they didn't make much noise but went separate ways. Warrick and Brass went downstairs while Catherine and Grissom took the living room. Nick and Sara went upstairs and searched the rooms. As both of them approached the so called master bedroom Nick put his finger around the trigger.

" Freeze!" Both of them yelled as the opened the door. Robert turned around and saw Both Nick and Sara.

" Put the gun down you son of a bitch." Nick said. Robert smiled and put the gun toward Mandy's head." If you so pull that trigger, god help me with whatever I do to you."

" You know Stokes my brother told me a lot about you. A nice person and all but you know with what you just said how am I supposed to believe it?" As Robert talked to Nick, Mandy thought it was now or never and without Robert looking Mandy managed to get up and send him to the ground. Roberts gun went off the rest of the team ran up the stairs. Sara had Robert gun pinned as Brass made the finally arrest.

" Let's see what should I charge you with." Brass said. " Well let's see, kidnaping which is 5 years, rape which is life ya I guess your covered." Brass hauled him away as Nick ran to Mandy's aide.

" Oh, oh please don't ever do that again." He said.

That night everyone went to dinner. " Is it all over with?" Lindsay asked. Everyone nodded.

" Oh look at the food!" Greg said as there meal came up to them. As everyone finished there dinner everyone went to dance. Grissom and Catherine danced together,, Warrick danced with his girlfriend, Greg and his girlfriend teamed up and Brass with his date. Nick and Sara danced while Mandy and Lindsay sat out and finished there meal.

Secula looked at the people dance and spotted Nick and Sara...........
