Yippee, I'm over my writer's block!
Chapter Seventeen
Police cars with flashing red and blue lights had already filled the parking lot of the apartment complex when the CSI team arrived. Grissom looked up at the crime scene tape that was blocking the area around Lilly's apartment. He shook his head sadly, before the night was over he would have to call Tom and Vivian and tell them their daughter was missing. Needless to say, Grissom was not looking forward to that call.
The team climbed the steps to Lilly's apartment and walked through the open door. The place was a mess. Cushions had been pulled off the couch, plants had been tipped over, their dirt spilling all over the floor; and books were thrown everywhere. Grissom turned to Brass who had come in with them.
"Tell day shift that they can take anything else that comes up, I want my whole team on this one." He said.
"You got it Gil." Brass said with a quick nod of his head.
"Let's get to work." Grissom said snapping on a pair of latex gloves.
~*~*~
Sharp pain coursed through Lilly's body as the fog around her mind cleared. Her body ached and she groaned as she tried to move her sore muscles. Pain crept up her arms and when Lilly tried to move them she couldn't, they had been tied by some sort of rope and were pulled up above her head. Lilly forced her eyes open, but the room, if it was a room, around her was pitch black.
"What's happening?" her mind screamed, "Oh God protect me please." Her mind was too clouded for her to remember what had happened to land her in this mysterious place. So Lilly lay stiff and frightened, too afraid to move a muscle. A door squeaked open somewhere above her, and she heard footsteps coming down a staircase. Her breathing quickened as her heart began to pound furiously in her chest.
Lilly could hear another's breathing and she felt a warm hand caress her arm, then her face. Lilly whimpered softly in fright.
"Shh," the mysterious person said in a soft whisper, "I promise I won't hurt you." The hand trailed down her face, then her neck, and finally rested above her heart. And it was at that moment Lilly realized she was naked! Anger overcame her fear.
"Don't touch me you filthy pervert!" she yelled boldly, "I swear I will kill you with my bare hands."
"That's what I like about you Lilly." The voice said, "you're never afraid to speak your mind."
"How do you know my name?" Lilly seethed.
"I've been watching you Lilly."
"You're a freak!" Lilly yelled.
"No my dear, I'm in love." With that her capture forced his mouth on her. Lilly gasped in fear and surprise and her capture took the opportunity to force his tongue into her mouth. She struggled against his hold, but only succeeded in chafing her wrists with the ropes. She tried to force him off of her, but whoever the mystery man was, he was too strong for her to fight.
~*~*~
The CSI team searched Lilly's apartment thoroughly for clues. Everything was a mess and it was hard to make sense of the chaos. Finally, after hours of searching, they had come up with a handful of evidence.
"We'll take this back to the lab and see what we can find." Catherine said as she and Nick loaded up her SUV with their equipment and the evidence.
"Good," Grissom said, "call me the second you find anything."
"We will." Catherine said. She glanced up at the apartment that had been closed off with police tape and sighed; "I just hope Lilly's okay, wherever she is."
~*~*~
Lilly stifled a cry as she lay there, her captor taking liberties with her. She prayed to God that he would stop, but his hands continued to roam and his lips continued to kiss her body.
"Please Lord," She cried out in her mind, "Deliver me from this. Protect me oh God." Tears fell freely from her eyes, and Lilly felt shame flooding her. There had to be something that she could do, or could have done, to stop him. She only wished that he would show his face, but at the same time she was thankful for the darkness that hid her from his eyes. Lilly closed her eyes tightly, wishing away the feel of his hands. Then, with one heart wrenching and painful thrust, he took away her innocence. Lilly screamed, tears pouring down her face, her heart pounding in her chest, and her shame even greater than before.
~*~*~
Catherine and Nick walked into the trace lab where Greg sat with a wide smile on his face.
"Isn't it a beautiful day?" the lab tech asked with a grin.
"You haven't heard, have you?" Catherine asked with a frown.
"Heard what?" Greg asked.
"Lilly's missing." Nick said sadly. Greg's face paled and his smile quickly fell.
"That...that can't be. I just...I just saw her a ...a few hours ago." Greg stuttered.
"You saw Lilly?" Catherine asked, "When?"
"I don't know...about two." Greg said.
"You know this places you as a suspect Greg." Catherine said.
"WHAT?" Greg exclaimed, "I wouldn't do anything to hurt Lilly and you all know that!"
"It's protocol Greg." Nick said with a sympathetic glance.
"I'll question Greg," Catherine said turning to Nick, "You work on this evidence then call to check in with Grissom when you're done."
"Okay." Nick said with a nod.
"Com on Greg." Catherine said leading Greg out of the room.
~*~*~
Greg couldn't believe it; he had just seen Lilly not four hours ago. Now she was missing and he was being interrogated!
"Greg I need you to answer me honestly." Catherine said as she sat down opposite him at the small metal table.
"Yeah okay." He replied his mind elsewhere.
"When did you last see Lilly?"
"I went over to her apartment at about midnight, after my shift was over. We'd been fighting the past couple weeks and I was sick of it and went over to apologize."
~*~Flashback~*~
"Come on in." Lilly said as they broke apart from the kiss, "It's freezing out here." Greg followed her in and took the towel that she offered him.
"Lilly I'm sorry I was such a jerk to you." Greg said as he dried his hair.
"No I'm sorry Greg, I shouldn't have acted like I did." Lilly said sitting down on the couch. Greg sat beside her and took her hand in his, marveling at the softness of her skin. He traced circles on the back of her hand with his thumb. He picked her hand up and placed his lips on it, kissing it softly. Lilly gently pulled her hand from his grip and brushed it across his still damp cheek.
"I'm just glad that we can put it behind us." She said looking in his eyes.
"Me too." Greg said with a soft smile. They leaned closer and captured each other's lips in a soft kiss.
"I like doing that." Lilly laughed.
"I must agree with you on that." Greg said joining in her laughter.
"So what now?" he asked.
"I guess we tell Uncle Gil and everyone else."
"Guess so, just promise me that Grissom won't try to kill me."
"I promise." Lilly smiled teasingly, "now no more talking."
"Okay." Greg said, leaning into to meet Lilly's lips in a passionate kiss.
~*~End Falshback~*~
"I left at about two." Greg said looking up at Catherine.
"Okay," Catherine said, "Did you see anything suspicious around the complex as you were leaving?"
"Catherine, I had just been making out with the woman I love, do you really think I'd be noticing anything right then?" Greg asked causing Catherine to chuckle.
"I guess not, but I had to ask Greg. I'll let you go, but we might have questions later."
"Alright." Greg said standing up. He turned as he reached the door, "Catherine, promise me you'll tell me when you find out anything."
"I promise Greg." Catherine said with a sympathetic smile.
"Thanks." Greg said before walking out of the room.
~*~*~
"Hey Catherine." Nick called as he chased Catherine down the hall.
"What's up?" Catherine asked when Nick reached her.
"I just called Grissom, Warrick found some video cameras hidden in Lilly's apartment. Apparently whoever abducted her had been watching her for awhile."
~*~*~
There you go everyone. Before I ask for you all to review and everything, I'd first like to say that I pray that none of you who read this story have ever been raped. I myself never have been and I hope that I never will be. My heart goes out to all the victims of rape and sexual abuse of any kind. Because I've never been in that situation, I can only guess at what's going through Lilly's head, so if things seem a bit off, I apologize.
Now if you'll please tell me what you thought of this story and if you liked it or not. I'm sorry I haven't updated for awhile, but like I said in the last chapter, I had MAJOR writer's block, but I'm over it now and ready to write. Please review. Thanks.
