'Has anyone seen Cath?' asked Grissom, walking into the break room and looking around.
'Not since last shift' replied Nick. 'She was pretty tired, maybe she overslept.'
'I've called her, but she's not answering her home phone, cell or pager' Grissom told him.
'Maybe we should go round to her place?' spoke up Warrick Brown.
'Ok, Warrick, you and I will go round to Catherine's' said Grissom. 'Nick – go and find Sara and let her know what's going on, I think I saw her heading towards ballistics.'
'Ok boss' said Nick, walking out.
Half an hour later, Grissom and Warrick pulled up outside Catherine's home.
'Her Tahoe's still here' Warrick said noticing the vehicle parked in the driveway. 'Could be that Nick was right, she just overslept.'
'Lets hope so' answered Grissom. They walked up to the door and found it to be unlocked and ajar. Both men drew their guns, unsure of what they would find ahead of them. Finding nothing in the ground floor, they headed upstairs. Grissom entered Catherine's room first.
'Oh god!' he cried. Warrick came running through.
'What is it?' he asked, stopping when he noticed the broken glass and the messed up bed. He moved to pick up a piece of cloth from the bed, remembering at the last moment to put on his gloves. He recognised the smell straight away.
'Griss...it's chloroform'. Grissom drew in a deep breath.
'Call Nick and Sara, we all need to process the scene now.'
Nick had finally found Sara, not in ballistics but in DNA talking to Greg. He walked in the door to the lab and was greeted by a high five from Greg.
'Well done Nicky my man!' he said and added, 'mind you, I always thought that Sara would choose the Gregmeister but I guess that you were the next best thing!'
'Sara! You told him?' exclaimed Nick. Sara Sidle smiled and gave her new boyfriend a kiss on the cheek.
'Sorry Nicky, guess I couldn't resist!' Nick laughed. At that moment his cell rang.
'Stokes...yeah...really?!...God, we'll be right there.' He ended the call.
'What's up?' asked Sara. 'That sounded bad'.
'They think Cath's been kidnapped!' answered Nick.
'Kidnapped...why? Oh my god, what can we do?' Sara looked very pale. Over time she and Catherine had bonded and become close.
'Grissom wants us at the scene' replied Nick. He looked concerned for Sara as he knew about her and Catherine's good friendship. 'Greg – we'll send over any trace evidence as soon as we can, it's top priority, understand?'
'Over course' Greg replied. He watched Nick and Sara exit his lab and prayed that Catherine would be ok.
