Grissom sat at his desk in a daze he was starring at picture in his hand. It was a picture of his family. The family that he had waited so long to finally call his own and now he had lost them.

He felt go guilty. How could he have been so stupid? These men had taken Lindsey from right under his nose, while he slept in the next room and now Catherine he was four feet away from her and she still was taken from him. How could he let this happen? He was trained in self-defense and he could not even use it to defend himself or anyone else. Grissom's thoughts were broken when Brass came to see him.

"Brass anything new?" Grissom said with high hopes

He could tell by Jim's face that either they had nothing or something bad had happened and they were to late.

"Well"

Brass sat down across from him.

"Well Rich Hamming, who we id when his prints came up in the system, got sloppy when he took Lindsey from her room, his prints were on the kitchen door, Lindsey's bedroom door and even you're bedroom door. This man knew where he was going when he got in the house, so he either had been there before or had a layout from someone who had. Sara and Nick are just running his information to see if we can find out who his accomplices may be and if they got sloppy too."

Grissom looked at Brass and then got on his computer. Since he had discovered this thing called email him and Catherine had long chats about her past even though he knew most of it. And he remembered hearing that name before. He knew it was a waste of space to save all her emails but he felt he had a reason to keep them and at that moment he was glad that he had.

He pulled up an email and smiled

"Right here Brass, look at this." He read aloud:

Rich Hamming was famous for trafficking drugs, if Eddie needed at hit or a stash Rich was our man. When I ended up getting off of drugs Rich was always around trying to intimidate me, telling Eddie that I was no good for him anymore, but Eddie told him to take a walk when he found out he had a thing for me and he was just jealous of Ed. and one day he just stopped coming around. Eddie promised me we would never deal with him again…for anything."

Grissom stopped reading and looked at Brass

"So I guess this is the main guy, I mean, this kind of proves it, Eddie borrowed money from him and he hated Eddie for not letting him have her and he was pissed at Catherine for not wanting to be with him.

It all makes sense, this has to be our guy, what better way to get back at Catherine then by killing her husband so there is no one to stand in his way when he makes his move for her. Taking Lindsey was just the bait"

Brass stopped Grissom

"Whoa. Slow down do you here yourself, we don't even know if Eddie's death had anything to do with this, if there even connected, and why would he wait all these years? I think you are jumping the gun Gil right now we focus on Catherine and Lindsey and getting them back safe. Maybe try calling her cell again"

Grissom shook his head

"No I think that call her phone again would be way to risky, I mean if she ha the ringer on then they probably have the phone but if they don't have it then we need to wait and see if Cath will call."

Brass shook his head yes, agreeing with Grissom.

And at that moment Warrick walked in the office joining the two.

"Rich Hamming wanted for drug trafficking, prostitution, murder, rape, the whole nine yards, there is nothing illegal that this guy has not done. He has broken more laws then anyone I swear he s dangerous." He handed Grissom some pictures.

Grissom clapped a hand over his mouth. He had seen crime scene photos before and he had seen more dead bodies then anyone at the lab. But this bothered him. He sat and listened as Warrick explained the firs picture.

"That women Rachel Pars. One of many girlfriends of Rich's her body was found two months ago. Cops say she was badly beaten, as you can see. They also said that 65% of the bones in her body had been broken, her throat was slashed." He paused " Twice because the first time and I quote they did it wrong, they said that there was so much trauma to her body and that she had been raped more then a dozen times" Warrick paused while Grissom looked at the other pictures

"What about all the other's?"

"The same thing basically, all those women, were either girlfriends or ex girlfriends, and the men

Either boyfriends of the women or ex boyfriends."

Grissom gave the pictures back to Warrick

"We need to find her Bra-" Grissom was cut off when his cell phone rang

"Grissom?"

"Hello? I can barely hear you who is this?"

"Daddy……… it's……….. Lindsey………." The phone cut in and out

"Lindsey, Lindsey baby is your mom there with you? Lindsey?

"I have to go Daddy, don't hang up the phone please!"

Grissom stayed on the line assuming that someone was with them and she had to hide the phone.

Grissom listened to the other line with a horrified look on his face.

He could hear someone screaming, was it Lindsey or was it Catherine, the he heard to screaming voices and he knew it was both of them.

He could hear Lindsey screaming for someone to stop, and he could hear Catherine screaming for someone to stop. Questions ran through his mind; Stop what? What was happening?

Grissom had a bad feeling when he heard a man scream, "Get back here!

He heard Catherine telling Lindsey to run.

Everything went quiet on the line as the screaming faded in to the distance and the phone cut out.
