(Off plane in Brisbane, Australia)

"I didn't remember that Aeroplane food tasted so bad." Moaned Warrick after the group came out of customs.

"Yeah Man. Where's the nearest McDonalds... You do have McDonalds don't you?" Nick added speaking in a slightly worried tone Kathleen

"Of course. We have everything in BrisVegas.

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

"Alright, the chopper leaves in an hour we should have just enough time to get into the city for something to eat and a look around before we go" Kathleen stated

"Wait" Sara said, "Where exactly is Lindsey?"

"Mt Lindsey, Texas, Queensland. If we get a chopper to Stanthorpe, it's only a half hour drive to Mt Lindsey" said Kathleen hailing a taxi "The city McDonalds please"

They arrived 20 minutes later and Nick and Warrick set about ordering meals. Sara was on her cell to Grissom and Kathleen was assisting Warrick and Nick.

Sara's conversation

"Hey Griss...Yeah it was Ok if you don't include Warrick and Nick moaning the whole time...Any change in Cath...Well I suppose that's an improvement...Yeah I will...Yep bye"

Over McDonalds...

"So where did you work here?" Warrick questioned Kathleen

"I worked in the lab here in Brisbane and then at the lab at the Gold Coast" she answered looking at her watch, "we should be going now"

"What? We've still got another half hour till the chopper leaves"

"Peak hour Nicky, adds an extra 5-10 minutes"

Outside the McDonalds they hailed another taxi and arrive back at the airport with 5 minutes to spare. After weaving their way through the crowds they boarded the chopper and were soon high over the city.

'Hold on Lindsey' Sara thought 'We're coming'

Grissom sat next to Catherine in the startlingly white hospital room lost in his thoughts. Catherine had trusted him with Lindsey and she had been kidnapped in a very roundabout way his fault. They didn't know for certain where she was or if she was hurt. He hadn't even had chance to apologise to her. He hadn't meant to talk to her like that. But having just found out himself, it helped him to accept the truth. He had arranged for Catherine's house to be remodelled for her to make life easier and work was to start as soon as she awoke. He didn't know what his life would be like if Catherine wasn't in it. He had never even gotten chance to tell her how he felt. When she woke up, he vowed to himself he would tell her how he felt. 'Please Catherine...Wake up'.

Lindsey looked around her surroundings. She was tired and her head hurt. Nothing looked familiar. It was hot and dry and dusty. It also smelt funny. She realised she wasn't at home anymore. She started to walk but stopped when she saw something large coming towards her. She started to run screaming. "Uncle Nick, Uncle Warrick, Sara, Uncle Greg, Uncle Grissom, Mummy help me.... Mummy, MUMMY!" she screamed again starting to sob

In a hospital thousands of kilometres away Catherine Willows opened her eyes.
