Thanks to:
KellBell: Sorry for the wait, but with the site down, and work, and a weido summer cold, I haven't been able to update. Well here it is!
undacoveragent9: Yes, I agree, Nick is too cute! I will keep him safe (ish).
Dragonmyst: OOPS!!! Thank you so much for spotting that! I will fix it as soon as the chance arises… Totally my bad on that part!!! Thanks for the reply!
Sprinkles143: YES! Evil Hank will eventually be going down. That is a promise
A Bloom: LOL! It's all good. You don't have to like Nick. That's totally a personal choice. Thanks for the awesome replies!
CSIaddict: Hey Jax!! Thanks for replying and yes, Good Charlotte totally rock.
Shondie: The wheels are in motion and Brass has been informed about the situation. I don't think it's going to be Sara to take Hank down, but rather the boys in blue.
MissyJane: Thanks! Glad you like it.
The Confused One: I am thinking of having one more almost completely G/C chapter. It will probably be right after they get out of Hank's evil clutches.
cRaZyPiXiE: Me too! Good Charlotte are awesome!
Corporal Cupcake: Thanks so much!! Totally appreciated the review :o)
Lynn: Hank is definitely a weird character, and his game is going to be exposed soon. I think… These chapters aren't always planned… I normally have no idea where they are going to lead. :o)
A/N: This chapter will be songless for two reasons. 1) I wanted to get this chapter posted. 2) I couldn't find anything that really fit it… so rather than having an ill-fitting song, I chose to skip that part just this once.
Also, sorry it's kinda short…. I have been a little blocked on where to go next.
Chapter 10
~ Nick and Sara~
"Nick, let's get over to Grissom's and Catherine's. They said they were already at the lab, but it's kind of early for them to be there… I think Hank has them." She looked up at Nick, her eyes wide with fear. "What if he has hurt them, Nick?? What if he…" Sara began rocking herself back and forth, trying to ward off the chills that were running down her spine. "Nick, please. We have to help them."
Nick nodded. "All right. Let's go. We'll start at their house, and then go from there."
Sara smiled at Nick. "Thank you." She reached for his hand, and he gladly gave it to her, helping her up from the couch.
He enveloped her in a hug. "It's okay, Sara. I promise that everything will be all right."
Sara sighed and pulled out of the embrace. "Don't make promises that you can't keep, Nick." She grabbed her jacket and exited the apartment, waiting for Nick to follow suit. He grabbed his own jacket and rushed out to meet her.
~ Catherine and Grissom~
Catherine stared at Grissom, her eyes drooping. "I can't seem to stay awake, Gil." She said, putting her head on his shoulder.
"Then put your head on my shoulder here and rest for a while. Hank isn't coming back tonight." He said softly.
"You don't know that Gil. I'm worried about Sara." She confessed. "I don't know what Hank is planning, but it isn't good."
"Nick will take care of her, Catherine. I know he will." Grissom longed to reach out and hold Catherine, and cursed silently at the rope that bound his wrists and legs. "Brass is going to have to figure something out sooner or later, right? I mean, Hank won't be able to keep us anywhere for too long."
Catherine nodded. She closed her eyes and was asleep, the day having taken it's toll on her.
~ Nick and Sara~
Sara grabbed her cellular phone from her hip as Nick pulled onto the road. The voice on the other end was tense.
"Brass."
"It's Sara."
"What do you need?"
"Did your hear from Gris or Catherine?"
"No. It's their day off."
Sara frowned. "That sonofa-"
"What's going on?"
"He has them. That sonofabitch has them!" Sara nearly shouted.
"And who is this sonofabitch that you keep referring to?"
"Hank." Sara spat out.
"Why in the world would he kidnap Grissom and Catherine."
"To get back at me." She stated bluntly.
Brass refrained from laughing on the other end. "Is that all the evidence you have?"
"No. He sent me a picture of them, with their faces marked off with an x."
"I'll send some men out right away. We'll find them Sara."
"Brass, you don't understand what he's like. He's very violent. VERY unstable."
"We can handle it. In the meantime, you stay away from him."
"No can do Brass. I can't promise that Nick or myself will keep our hands off of him."
"Just be careful." Brass hung up on that word.
Sara turned to Nick. "Brass is sending people out to search for them."
"Good." Nick said, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. Give me strength to not kill this man when we find him…
~Catherine and Grissom~
Catherine woke with a start as the door swung open, hitting the wall. "Good to see that my two little captives have not escaped. Especially now that I have brought a playmate for you." Hank grinned, and walked out the door, returning momentarily, with Warrick in tow.
Catherine gasped. How did he ever manage to subdue Warrick? He must have used drugs or something…
Hank tossed Warrick to the ground beside Catherine and Grissom. "Have fun!" Hank walked out of the room, his maniacal laughter following him.
"Warrick? Are you feeling all right?"
"I'm fine Gris."
"What happened? How did Hank manage to kidnap you?"
"I kind of let him." Warrick said, shrugging.
"You what?!" Catherine exclaimed. "Why would you do that?"
"Because he will eventually be going after Nick and Sara and I don't want anything to happen to either of them. It helps to have more of us here that can help them, don't you think?"
Catherine nodded. "It makes sense, I guess."
~~ Nick and Sara ~~
Sara's phone rang, and she grabbed it off its holster. "Sidle."
"The total count of CSI's is three… That's three down, two to go…" Hank laughed in the background as he hang up the phone.
Sara sighed and leaned back against the seat. "He's got Warrick now, too."
Nick looked over at her. "Brass will catch him. Don't worry."
"I'm not waiting for that. I think I know where they are, and we have got to get them out of his clutches."
"Sara, don't you understand that he is drawing you to him?" Nick stated the obvious.
"Yes, I know. We'll call Brass and they can meet us there. But I am got my friends into this, I will get my friends out of it." Sara crossed her arms over her chest. Her mind was made up. Nothing was going to change it.
A/N: Like it? Don't like it? Either way, I want to know! Thanks for R&Ring!
