'Look for Lindsey six feet down under in Texas'

'Shit' she thought 'he's got Lindsey!'

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#

'O God' she thought as she dialled Nick's now familiar number, 'if I hadn't been arguing with Grissom...' But Nick answering the phone broke her thoughts

"Hello?" he answered sleepily

"Nick?"

"Sara?" Her voice sounded shrill with hysteria, "What's wrong?"

"He's taken Lindsey Nick! He's going to kill her"

"What?" he said fully awake now

"There was a note by the phone and she's not anywhere"

"What does the note say?"

"'Look for Lindsey six feet down under in Texas'"

"I'll meet you at the lab. Bring the note. I'll call Griss and Warrick and you can call Greg and Kathleen" he responded before hanging up.

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@

Greg and Kathleen had just found a table when Greg's cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Greg. It's Sara. Listen we need you back at the lab now"

"What? Why?"

"The sicko's taken Lindsey"

"Ok. I'll be there" he was about to hang up when Sara spoke again

"Oh, do you have Kathleen's number? I told Nick I'd call her"

"No need. She's with me. We'll see you at the Lab" He hung up and looked across the table at Kathleen who was looking at him expectantly

"We've got to get back," he said "Some sicko's got Lindsey"

@##@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#

(At the Lab. Sara, Nick and Warrick are waiting for Kathleen and a helicopter to arrive. Grissom is having a heated conversation with Brass)

"Look Brass. She's been gone for over an hour. He could have done anything to her!"

"Yes and you are emotionally involved with this case. And Catherine needs you here"

Their conversation ended when Sara put her head around the door

"The choppers here. Do we wait for Kathleen?"

Brass looked over at Grissom and seeing that he wasn't going to answer said:

"No leave now. Lindsey's been missing long enough as it is"

Sara nodded and left the room

@#@#@#@#@@#@#@@#@#@#@#

When Kathleen and Greg arrived at the lab half an hour later they met with a very irritable looking Grissom.

"Where have you been?" he demanded

"Relax Mr. Boss man. We got stuck in traffic" Greg stated, "Where are the others?"

"They've already left" Grissom replied, "Kathleen you'll be working in the lab with Greg for the next few days"

Kathleen gave him a small smile and nod of recognition before following Greg to the lab

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#

About an hour later...

"I don't think she'd in Texas" Kathleen said to no one in particular, "It's to obvious"

"Yeah" Greg agreed not fully listening, "Your from the land of the Koala bears aren't you?"

"Technically, Their not bears Greg"

"Whatever, would you say that technically you're from Down Under"?

There was a pause as Kathleen thought about what Greg had just said.

"Hello?"

"Greg, I love you," exclaimed Kathleen cupping his face in her hands and planting a kiss on his cheek before running out of the DNA lab

"What did I say?" Greg called after her

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@

Kathleen came catapulting around straight into Grissom

"I know where Lindsey is!"

For future reference: What are paddocks called in America? Are they still called paddocks or something else? Please let me know so I can get it right.
