Gil paced back and forth in his office. Thoughts of worry raced through his mind. "What are they doing to her .. Why would someone want to hurt her? Who would even think of taking Catherine."

The worst part of this whole thing was that there were no leads, the video tape that had been left for him had been wiped clean and the tire track were just like any other tire, nothing made then different from the ones on his vehicle. Not being bale to do anything but the worrying he had been doing all night Gil got in his Tahoe and drove back to Catherine house, which was at the moment a crime scene.

Gil walked through the house and sat on the end of Catherine's bed. The words from the tape ran through his mind. Gil tired from waiting all night fell back on Catherine's bed and closed his eyes.

An hour later he was waked by a voice he thought was Catherine's whispering in his ear. When he opened his eyes his suspicions were confirmed. Catherine was standing over him, also with her was a man holding a gun at her head. The man pulled Gil up by his arm. " Walk" he snapped " Or your girl is going to get it." Gil walked slowly outside and to the van that was parked in the driveway. After getting shoved into the back of the van Catherine came flying in behind him. When Gil saw her ace he noticed the black eye that she had. " Are you alright?" he asked her he nudged over to her and took her in his arms. " Gil I'm scared" Gil wrapped his arms around her and guided her head to his chest. " Don't worry about anything, I won't let anyone hurt you." "Did they say anything to you .. Why they are doing this." Catherine shook her head no. " No but I know who it is.. It is Warren Bakers from the case we are working on. He killed those people Gil" Catherine began to show panic in her tone " What does he want with us, what are they going to do with us."

Gil tightened his grip on Catherine trying to give her a feeling of safety. " I don't know but you and I.. We are going to get out of here."

Gil and Catherine sat arm in arm until the door of the van slid opened and startled them. The man that had the gun reached his arm into the van and pulled Catherine out of Gil's arms and into a building. The man who was driving then led Gil into the building and into an empty room with a video camera and slammed the door shut locking him in. Gil immediately started banging on the door.

Moments later a man walked into the room and without saying a word turned on the video camera.

"Why did you bring us here?" Gil stood up and asked him demandingly. The man did not answer his question instead he asked his own. "Why do you think I brought you here?"

Gil began to walk over to him when the man stopped him. "Two of my most violent assistants are in the next room with the most beautiful women they have seen in a very long time. If you want them to hurt her in an in humane way I suggest you keep walking toward me, but if you want them to spare her the pain you should stop where you are and sit back down." The man then turned the video camera and a bright light on that was shinning directly in Gil's face.

"For the record state your name please." The man said. Gil refused. Why don't you tell me you're name?" was Gil's only reply. The man smiled at him "Fine, if it makes you feel any better but after I answer you, I am going to ask you some questions and everytime you refused to answer me, my friends in the other room are going to take it out on you know who!" The man sat down on a chair behind the camera. "You know my name is Warren Bakers, do you want my life story to?"

Suddenly Gil heard screams coming from the other room. "What's happening what are they doing to her?" Gil asked jumping to his feet. "Ignore the screams she will be fine, she just needs to learn some manners that's all. Now back to the interview. I brought you here because you seem to have a problem with feelings, you abuse your feelings and you take them for granted. Do you know what I am talking about Mr. Grissom." Warren smiled at him. ' I brought you two here so you could finally be together and with a little help from the one they call Cupid all you're dreams will come true."

"Now we can make this easy on her or hard on her so.. State you're name for the record."

Not wanting to cause any trouble Gil spoke to the video camera and told him his name. "Have you ever been in love Mr. Grissom? And if so with whom and for how long." Gil answered all questions and waited for the next thing Warren had to say. " Now Mr. Grissom if you have nay last romantic or touch words for the love of your life it maybe your only chance on getting out of here alive."

In the next room Catherine was making the same video.

When Warren was finished with Gil he got up and walked out of the room. Almost seconds later he came back but he was not alone. Warren came back with Catherine and pushed her into the room. " I have her video tape if you would like to see it" he walked over to Gil and pushed her into him. " You two are adorable together, just like Romeo and Juliet, You know that sorry don't you Mr.Grissom, I believe you are quite the Shakespearian" Warren pause before putting in the video. " The question is are you ready to die for the one you love?"

Gil grabbed Catherine and took her into his arms. Warren looked at the two and laughed " You can't protect her anymore, you have been trying to protect her for quite some time now. I must say I was not at all pleased that you were not really there for her after her husband's death, I always expected more form you. I am certain she did as well." Catherine made a face " How long have you been watching us?"

Warren laughed again " I have been watching you" he looked over at Gil " Since your friend Brass had me arrested, years back when you thought I kidnapped all those people. I was about to give up when I saw the way you to looked at each other and I knew I had to work my magic, I gave you awhile to come to your senses but you have taken too long,.. Years actually., You kept acting like your love was forbidden."

Gil snapped back at Warren. " What do you even know about love." Warren stood up from his chair and walked over to Gil. " What do I know about love? Let me tell you something" he yelled " I was in love once, with this beautiful amazing women and she thought she was to good for me. I gave her everything and she left me for some jerk, even though I told her how I felt, I vowed to myself then that I would help all the unfortunate souls who were afraid to love again, who were afraid to share their feelings."

Catherine cut him off " Like Katie and Paul?" Warren walked over to Catherine and pulled her out of Gil's arms and slammed her against the wall. Gil stood up to stop him when Warren pulled out a knife. "Stay where you are Mr. Grissom, I am not going to hurt her. Warren focused back on Catherine " Katie had known Paul for so long and it took her three years to tell him." Catherine struggled to get out of his grip. " Why did you kill them? What did it prove?" Warren leaned in close to Catherine " It did not prove anything, they were wasting my time and their own, if they were not going to be together in this life, they could be together in their next life." Catherine tried to pull away again when Warren threw her back down "Who are you to decide whether someone should live or die, or when they should tell the person they love how they feel, you are not helping anyone, and you are not cupid or Shakespeare or whatever, your just a psychotic mad man who needs a reason to hate everyone that has something that he could never have."

Warren bent down and pulled Catherine up again and with one hand backhanded her across the face.

"Keep her in line" Warren yelled at Gil. Catherine put her hand on her know burning up face.

Warren then walked over to the Video camera and turned on a TV, pressing play on the video Gil's tape started to play.

Gil and Catherine sat and watched each other's videotapes that were meant to profess their love for one another. Warren then came back in the room and took the videos. " Your friends are going to want to watch these before they find your bodies." he smiled and walked back out of the room.
