Nick waited as patiently as possible for the warrant to come threw. He
stood in the long hallway as Grissom called in a few favors.
"We have it Nick," Grissom came out of the small office, a piece of paper in hand, "We can search the house." Nick sighed a sigh of relief.
"Let's get moving then," he took the piece of paper from Grissom's hand and folded it, then placed it in his jacket pocket, "We don't have much more time, she could be hurt!" Grissom nodded in agreement as both of their beepers went off in a fit of beeping and vibrations. Nick looked down at his beeper and sighed, "It's only Greg," a lump came up in his throat as he could feel the tears building up.
"We'll call him back in the way to the car," Grissom placed a hand on Nick's shoulder as he noticed the sadness build in Nick's eyes. Nick nodded and pulled out his cell phone, he dialed the number and brought the phone to his ear.
*** Greg sat quietly in his lab as again he took the silence to his advantage. He put his headset on and listened to his music as he thought of Ashton and her situation. He couldn't help but feel guilty, even if there was nothing he could do about it. A tear fell down his cheek as he hit the play button on the walkman. Suddenly he could feel the table vibrate as his cell phone went off. He dropped the head set to the table and picked up the phone, his hands shacking and his fingers missing the buttons. Finally after what felt like hours, Greg managed to hit the button and answer the phone.
"Hello," his voice was shacking and cracked as he spoke.
"Greg.." The voice trailed off and he knew right away who it was, "It's me." He knew who it was and was amazed to hear her voice once again.
"Ash, are you alright?" of course she wasn't, but he couldn't help but ask the question anyway.
"Yup," that was Ashton's way of telling him no, but her captor wouldn't know it. She knew how to use her head in times like this.
"Do you want me to get a hold of your dad?" Yet, another backward response.
"Nope," Ashton knew that she needed to said as little as possible so not to anger her captor.
"Ash, the evidence I gave you, would that bring us to you?"
"Yup,"
"Will it help?"
"Nope,"
"I'm calling your father, hold on." Greg hung up and quickly dialed Nick's number. The line happened to be busy, or the phone was turned off, so Greg did the next best thing, Paged him! **********************
"Nick, god tell me that's you," Greg said as he answered his ringing phone. His voice was still shaky and he was sweating bullets.
"Yes Greg it's me," he replied coldly, his mind elsewhere. He looked at his feet when he realized how he had sounded and quickly apologized, "Sorry man, I'm not myself."
"Ya well, I got some news," Greg picked up the piece of paper that had been on his desk for the last couple of days, "Ashton called me and she's alright but we need to hurry." He started, "The sheet that I gave her will help us find her, your best bet is to go to this guys place and look around, but she's not at the house, hurry man she needs you."
"I've got the warrant and I'm on my way," Nick said, some life in his voice, "Thanks Greg,"
"No problem, now move!" **************************************************************
Okay, I know all of my chapter so far have been really short but I promise you that the next one will be much longer..I have exams and junk this week but after that's all done I'll get to work on that chapter, and it will be good!
