Nick headed for CSI and saw what looked to be Ecklie's Tahoe heading away from there. "Is that Ecklie's Tahoe?"
"Omg, yes, Nick follow it." Sara said looking at Nick.
Nick made an illegal U-turn and started to follow Ecklie's Tahoe. "Call Warrick and Cath and let them know where we are and in what direction we're headed.."
Sara grabbed her cell again and rang Catheirne.
"Willows."
"Cath, we're heading towards the outskirts of town. Heading towards the place Gil took you the first time he saw you again. He was staring at the stars..." Sara hoped she'd remember.
"OK!... yea.. i know the place... alright... see-ya there.." She told Warrick what Sara had said and they headed in that direction.
"Ok." Sara hung up, "They are coming."
Sara looked behind them, "Ohh no!"
"What? what is it?" Nick said, concentrating too hard on the road to notice.
The siren started to go on and the lights on the cop car behind them flashed into Nick's Tahoe. "Ah, damn.... " Nick grumbled. He pulled over to the side and sighed impatiently.
The officer walked up to the drivers side of the Tahoe and knocked on the window. Sara huffed and folded her arms, bitting her tongue.
Nick rolled down the window. "Yes? Look officer-"
"Do you realize how fast you we're going?" The officer interrupted.
Sara huffed.
"Look.. I know I was speeding sir... but this is an emergency..." Nick complained.
"May I see you liscence and registration?" The officer was starting to get annoyed.
Sara was about to boil over.
"Ugh..." Nick reached in his glove compartment and yanked it out. "Here" He grunted, practically shoving it in his face.
Sara looked at the road ahead, seeing only dust.
"Listen Officer! We're CSIs, ok that gives us nothing over you but we WERE chasing possible suspects in a kidnap case. Maybe you've heard of one of the people who was kidnapped, "Gil Grissom? Friend of YOUR boss?" Sara snapped.
The officer was taken a little by surprise. "Listen Miss... I'm just doing my job..." He turned his attention back to Nick. "It's seems everything is in order and you don't seem intoxicated, so I'm going to let you off with a warning this time, just try not to speed again." He handed back the papers.
Nick nodded to the man. "Thank-you..." He rolled back up the window and pulled back onto the road, careful to drive the speed limit, or at least until they reached the highway.
Sara wiped her eyes, "They've gone..."
Nick glanced over at her. "I know... but at least we know they're out this way... "
Sara sighed, "There's a crossroad up here."
Nick groaned. "Can this get any worse?" He saw the lights flashing ahead. "Think we can beat the train?"
She shrugged staring at the roadside.
Nick saw the train and waited. "Damn...." He mumbled to himself
Ecklie looked back, "That was too close. We have to move them tonight!"
"So should we bring them somewhere farther away from the city... or in closer?"
"Do you know anywhere?"
"Well there's the old coal mine off I-15..." Conrad mused.
"That'll have to do... we have to change car, a van maybe?" Ecklie pondered.
"Yea... it might work... would a rental be too risky?" conrad asked. "Hmm.. it might be... the records can be traced...." He thought to himself.
"Well, we can use a false name..."
"True... ok... "
Ecklie stopped at a garage, "I'll go get the van, you go back get Grissom and Jan ready... meet you in 20!"
Ecklie got out the Tahoe and slammed the door walking to the man in charge.
"Hello there sir... how can i help you today?" the man greeted him.
"I was wondering if you have van's for sale?"
"Actually yes we do... or you can rent or lease... what ever you'd prefer. Can i interest you in a new van or second hand?"
Ecklie thought for a second, "second habd is fine. renting is also good..."
"Alright then..." the man led Ecklie to the second-hand parking lot.
Ecklie saw a black van, just big enough, "This is perfect... How much?"
"That one will be... $15,500 total... so for a rental... $55..." the man estimated.
"That's fine." Ecklie said getting his wallet and his badge, the man eyed the badge and looked a litle questioning at the man before him.
"I'm a criminalist... CSI." He showed the badge.
"Ah.. i see... " the man took the money and handed Ecklie the rental slip.
"Thanks... where should I sign?"
The man pointed to the dotted line at the bottom with the X next to it. Ecklie took the badge out hoping it would be enough ID. He sighed it Gil Grissom.
signed.
He handed it back over, "There you go..."
The man nodded at him. "All right then... Mr. Grissom... this is your copy... " He handed the original paper to him
"Pleasure doing business with you... hope to see you again..." the man smiled and nodded to him.
"Thank you! Good bye." He took the keys and drove to meet Conrad.

Conrad drove up to the place where Gil and Jan were still kept. He climbed out of the Tahoe. He walked up to the door and undid the lock. Gil stood up as the door was unlocked. He was ready for Conrad and Ecklie. Conrad opened the door slowly and peeped inside. Gil was standing ready, he was tired from trying to escape
Conrad walked inside, noticing that neither Gil or Jan were where they once were. He looked around slowly and stopped when he heard a slight shuffling sound. Gil pushed Jan away from Gil and Conrad. He walked towards Conrad ready to hit him. Jan was backed away into one of the corners, watching Gil.
Conrad turned around and saw Gil, untide. "What-"
Gil leaped on Conrad pulling him down to the ground.
Conrad was caught off-guard but quickly regained his composure. He struggled with Gil and swung at him, hitting him square in the jaw. He hit back holding his jaw with one hand and Conrad with the other. A shot went off and Gil fell to the ground. Ecklie was holding his gun and walked into the small cell. "Tut tut Mr. Grissom. Miss Sanders, how did you untie your ropes?"
Gil held his shoulder and groaned a little. Jan ran over to Gil and ripped off the bottom piece of her shirt and tied it over the wound, making a temporary bandage.
Ecklie pulled Jan away from Gil, "Take off your shirt if you want, but not for him!"
Jan glared at Ecklie. "He's bleeding... and I'm going to help him whether you like it or not... "
Ecklie let her. "Conrad get the van ready."

Sara saw the rain start. She looked out the window as Nick pulled up to his appartment.
Nick turned off the ignition and looked over at her. "You gonna be ok?"
Sara shrugged getting out the Tahoe. Nick frowned and got out, catching up to her. He opened the door for her and walked in behind. Sara went to the couch and sat down looking out the window. Nick walked in the kitchen and saw a note that was left by Catherine and Warrick. 'Gone out to get some diner for Lynsey... be back in 15'. Nick nodded at the note and walked back to Sara in the living room. She was lying on the couch crying. Nick sat on the edge of the couch next to her and rubbed her back soothingly. "It's gonna be fine... we'll get them back... "
"Now Ecklie knows we're onto him, he'll kill them Nick!" Sara started to cry more. She buried her head in Nick's chest.
Nick frowned. He really didn't know what to say to make things better, he couldn't promise that Gil and Jan would be alright because he didn't even know himself.
Sara kissed Nick. "Promise you'll never get hurt Nick... please."
Nick smiled weakly at her. "I promise..." he kissed her forehead and stroked her cheek gently.
"I love you." She ran her hand down his arm, a few tears still ran down her cheek.
"I love you too..." he whispered in her ear, and wiped away a few tears with his thumb.
"I hope Gil and Jan are ok."
"Me too..."
