Part 1
"Ok Horatio We found a wallet in the bag so we have an ID on our victim" Detective Hagen said as he made his way towards Horatio showing him a Miami drivers license "Jasmine Blake, 27, she has a car parked at the other side of the park"
"Excuse me?" A woman asked from the other side of the police line, where some of the park's visitors were already gathering, "Did I hear you talk about Jasmine? Jasmine Blake?"
"Yes ma'am, do you know her?" Horatio and Hagen stepped closer to her
"Yeah. She comes here sometimes on Saturdays, we talk while the kids play." She nodded "Where are Kyle and Annie?"
"Kyle and Annie?" Hagen scribbled something in his notebook
"The kids" the woman said urgently "Jasmine is a nanny, she takes care of two kids - Kyle and Annie, they're 10 and 8! You mean they are not here!?"
Horatio exchanged a look with Hagen and them stepped off and headed back to the center of the crime scene "Ok people! Listen up! This is no longer a murder scene - this is a kidnapping! We have two missing kids - a boy and a girl! The first 48 hours are critical , so we're on a clock here! Let's get to work! There are no other cases in Miami today!!!"
He watched as everybody nodded gravely and went back to work then went over to Jamie and pulled her aside.
"Listen James" He kept his voice low "We Have to work fast here, cause you and I both know what happens in about 5 hours from now"
"Yeah" Jamie nodded "the feds roll into town and the shit hits the fan"
Just then they were joined by Calleigh, Erik and Speed and Horatio started giving them all their orders "Speed I want you to stay here and go over everything, pull out the grass if you have to but get me something - anything. And lets broaden the crime scene by another few meters. Erik you take the victim's car - maybe we'll find something there. Calleigh you go with Jamie, she knows what to do."
With a nod they all disbursed to do their work.

Speed finished taking pictures of the victim and watched while Alexx and her people zipped her up in a body bag and loaded her into the coroner's car. He took a deep breath and started looking around. He traced his steps back to the point where they found the bag and looked again - the park was separated into areas by pavement paths that ran through it - one of the paths running right next to the crime scene. He walked over to it and walked a few steps until her finally noticed a marking on the pavement.
"What have you got there Speed?"
Speed looked up and saw John Hagen standing over him, looking over his shoulder "It seems like a footprint" Speed indicated at the imprint on the pavement "looks like blood too"
He placed a ruler next to the imprint for scale and then bent down and used a Q-tip to collect a sample.

"You found anything Delko?" Horatio leaned against the car and looked inside where Erik was hunched over the seats, shining into the upholstery with a flash light
"Nothing yet" Erik replied "A lot of snack wrappings, some kids toys, license and registration, a cell phone, nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe I could get something off the cell phone - see who she's been calling. Do we know who she worked for yet?"
"Yes we just got a name. The Summers family, I'm on my way there now. Keep going, let me know what you find"
*
"So what are we doing here?" Calleigh asked as she and Jamie stood a few feet away from the crime scene and looked at the scene unfold before them. She could see the police officers interviewing possible witnesses to one side as the CSI workers were busy combing the area around where the body used to lay - looking for evidence.
"Well, basically I need someone to bounce ideas off" Jamie smiled sheepishly and looked apologetically at Calleigh "Sorry you had to be the one. I usually do this alone but we're on a time schedule here and I need to organize all the information in my head in a hurry.Sorry you had to baby- sit."
"No it's ok!" Calleigh laughed, "Go ahead! Do your thing!"
"Ok, so we have a nanny with two kids coming to the park on a Saturday morning so the kids could play. And we have a guy who wants to kidnap the children" Jamie started musing out loud and Calleigh could almost see the wheels turning in her head. "So we have two possibilities: One - he knows these kids, he follows them here and grabs them"
"Ok" Calleigh started to run with Jamie's line of thinking "So he's after the ransom, he takes the kids hold them for a couple of days then makes his demands and tries to run off with the cash"
"Yeah, I don't think so" Jamie said gravely "If he's after the quick cash then why this place? I mean it's public, it's broad day light, it's the worst place for a kidnapping! And if he knew their pattern, if he knew their schedule then he would do anything to avoid this place - anything!"
"What are you saying James?" Calleigh asked, getting a sick feeling in the bottom of her stomach.
"I'm saying I don't think this is about ransom"
Jamie suddenly started running towards Speed who was busy tagging some evidence at the other end of the crime scene "Speed! we have to look for a nest!"
