Chapter 1:
Nick Stokes pulled his car into the last space in the massive drive way. He turned the car off and the two stared up at the large mansion. "Leave it to Grissom to pick a place like this." Lindsay said.
"It fits the theme." Nick said. Nick had been dating Lindsay Kane for a year and a half and were now engaged for two months. Everyone at the lab thought she was the greatest and ever since Nick met her he had this glow about him. Nick placed his mask on and got out of the car, walking around to the passenger side, as his cape swished from side to side, to help Lindsay out. It was the first time that the lab decided to throw a party for Halloween and everyone from work was there. They had decided to go as Zorro and Elena from The Mask Of Zorro. Nick was wearing black pants, black shoes, a black button up shirt with the top three buttons open, the black Zorro hat, and a black eye mask. Of corse his favorite part of the outfit was the sword he got to carry. Lindsay was wearing a dress that she made to look exactly like the one Catherine Zeta Jones wore at the dinner party. It was deep red, deep blue, and white. It was a Spanish style dress that had lots of ruffles in it. She had taken fashion way back in high school and it took her a month to make the dress. Her hair was normally dark and she tied it in a low bun placing a pin, that looked like a little fan, just above the bun.
She took his arm and the two walked into the house. Grissom had picked a run down mansion for the party, and since no one had lived in it for well over a hundred years it already had a spooky vibe. They walked in and the whole place was pumping with music. They walked around a bit saying hello to other people from the lab, all the while searching for their friends. The first person they saw was Catherine Willows and her boyfriend Tom Woods. Catherine was decked out in a pink genie outfit with her hair high on her head. Tom was dressed as 'Master' from the tv show I Dream of Genie. Lindsay laughed thinking that Catherine would take any excuse to dress in an outfit like that. "Have you heard?" Catherine asked.
"Heard what?" Nick replied.
"Grissom brought a date."
"No way." Warrick said coming up behind them. Warrick was dressed as Batman, right down to the padded chest piece. Lindsay began to laugh when she saw Warrick wearing spandex but laughed even harder when Alicia came out from behind him.
"Shut up Lin." She said, and if she hadn't been wearing a mask you would've been able to see her embarrassment. Alicia James had been dating Warrick for three months now. She was a quiet one and that's what made it so funny. She was dressed in a leather body suit with a whip attached to her hip. She was designed to be Catwoman.
The six people walked around looking for Grissom and his 'date'. They found him along with Sara Sidle and her boyfriend Michael McAndrews. Sara was the most surprising out of all of them, even more than the fact that Grissom had a date. Sara and Michael were wearing all black and Michael had gotten a long black wig that was died red on the bottom. He had on a black t shirt with the sleeves cut off, black jeans and black boots. She was wearing a black tank top and black jeans with black boots. She put bright pink and purple streaks in her hair. She put fake tattoos all over her arms and added a fake nose and lip ring. They had silver chins on their pants and matching spike dog collars and bracelets. "Oh my wow." Lindsay said when they reached the four.
"You like?" Sara said. They both had black makeup on and Sara had blood red lipstick.
"Michael?" Alicia asked.
"Hi." He said in his perky tone. Michael was head of a huge company and he and Sara were exactly alike, they both worked twenty five hours a day and they were both the type of people that never changed out of their business clothes. The six people were stunned and speechless.
"It's not polite to stare." Grissom teased. He was dressed as Dracula, but not your typical one. He had on a suit that looked like it was from the eighteen hundreds, consisting of black, grey, and white. His cape was different from Nick's in that it was an actual cape that a man back then would wear to keep warm. The kind that went midway down and then had a second layer that went to below his shoulders. He completed the look with a black top hat and a pair of fake fangs. His date was introduced as Paula Roberts and she was dressed as Mina, Dracula's wife. She had a dress from the eighteen hundreds that had a corset and empire waist and then flowed out big at the bottom. The sleeves on the dress were tight from her hand up but when it got to her elbow it puffed out.
Everyone had been chatting for ten minutes before Greg showed up with his girlfriend. He was dressed in a white lab coat with one of those mirrors around his head and he made his hair go every which way, which wasn't exactly unusual. Catherine raised an eyebrow. "I'm a mad scientist." Greg said, filling them all in. "And this is Alison Carter." He said introducing his new girlfriend that he met last week. She was dressed in a pair of pink underwear with a sheer pink nighty over top. The nighty had pink feathers on the boob part of it, and she had clear stilettos with matching pink feathers on the toe part of the shoe. "She's my creation." He nodded after he went around and introduced her to everyone.
"A fem-bot." Warrick said smiling.
Lindsay wasn't one to be jealous of anyone but the way Alison kept looking at Nick was making her uncomfortable. "Wanna dance?" She said to him.
"Sure." He said putting hi cup down. "We'll be back." He said to the group as they left for the dance floor.
It had been three hours since they arrived and Lindsay was now dancing with Greg. I Turn To You by Mel C came on and the two moved to it. The techno blared through the speakers as the bass shook the room and the strobe light continued its dance across the mass of bodies that danced around the room. She and Greg thrashing around together to the pulse of the music. Nick hated techno and Greg loved it. She could go either way, if it had a beat to move to she liked it, but if it was fifteen minutes long and only had three words it would grate on her nerves. The song ended and So Emotional came on. Greg and Lindsay went off to look for their dates and Lindsay stopped when she saw Nick. She didn't care when he danced with Catherine, she didn't make a fuss when he danced with Sara, and she didn't say a word when he danced with Alicia. Mostly because she wasn't possessive. He could talk, hang out, and dance with other women because at the end of the night he came home to her. But she didn't like this Alison girl, she got bad vibes from her ever sine the moment she laid eyes on her. Not to mention that this bimbo was digging her ass into her fiance's crotch. She watched for a minute as Alison turned around and danced with him face to face. Nick was just dancing not realizing what she was doing was intentional. She placed her hands above her head dancing as her short nighty lifted even higher. She ran her hands back down on his chest and Lindsay saw his face change from a feeling the music face to an uncomfortable expression. Her hands moved lower and when they reached his crotch he jumped away grabbing her hands and putting them away from his body.
Lindsay couldn't take it and she marched over. She may have been wearing a dress but she could still kick her ass. The song was coming to an end when she came up to them. "He's spoken for." She said calmly but with attitude. Warrick and Alicia who were dancing next to them stopped when they saw the commotion.
"I didn't ask if he was." She said back with an attitude of her own.
Nick knew that if Lindsay was pushed far enough she would go all the way. "C'mon babe, let's go get a drink." He said.
Lindsay didn't want to make a scene. "Stay away from him." She said before walking away. Alison gave Lindsay her own look and then walked away to find Greg.
It was rounding midnight when people began to leave and by two o'clock everyone except for Nick, Lindsay, Greg, Alison, Sara, Michael, Grissom, Paula, Warrick, Alicia, Catherine, and Tom. The DJ had packed up his equipment and headed out, and the group decided to stick around and help Grissom clean up. Lindsay changed into a pair of Nick's track pants and a t shirt of his, that he had in the trunk of his car, so that she wouldn't get her dress dirty. Catherine had removed her head dress, Nick lost the cape, hat, and mask, along with Grissom who removed his hat and cape. Each person took a large garbage bag and went around collecting cups and such. Grissom, Nick, Michael, and Tom were folding up the chairs and tables that were being collected later that morning. Catherine looked a round as she and Lindsay filled their garbage bags. "Where's Warrick?" Lindsay and Sara looked up as well.
"And Alicia?" Lindsay asked.
"They went upstairs an hour ago." Sara filled them in wiggling her eyebrows.
The other two giggled and went back to cleaning. Lindsay looked over and noticed that Nick didn't have a bimbo chasing him around. "Where's that hoe?" Lindsay asked, wanting to keep an eye on her.
"Someone's bitter." Catherine said.
"I wanna keep my eye on her." She said looking around.
"Knowing that horney little lab rat, she's upstairs with him." Sara joked.
"What's so funny?" Nick said coming over and giving Lindsay a kiss.
"Hey Griss." Lindsay said as the guys came over to take out the full bags of garbage. "Are there beds here?" She wondered, since the house had been abandoned.
"Yeah. This was the entry room so it was the only room with out furniture." He said. "Although I don't know how sanitary it would be." He said.
"Did you have plans in mind?" Nick asked nibbling on the side of her neck when everyone went back to work.
"I didn't before." She said turning around and placing her hands around his neck. He bent down and kissed her as his hands traveled down and cupped her ass. She pushed away. "Not in front of everyone." She said taking his hand and leading him to the stairs, smiling seductively. He smiled himself as he followed her up the old creaky stairs.
Twenty minutes later Nick came out of the room deciding to look for Warrick and Greg, while Lindsay went downstairs to resume cleaning. "You in here buddy?" He said opening the first door. The room was dark and empty. He moved down the long corridor to the next room. He knocked first and when no one answered he opened the door a bit. "War?" He questioned. No answer still so he opened the door all the way and peeked in.
The guys brought the bags to the curb, and Catherine and Sara were going around the floor with brooms. Lindsay took the hand brush and pan and began sweeping up one of the piles. Everyone stopped what they were doing when they heard Nick let out a scream. Lindsay was the first to the stairs taking them two at a time. She ran down the hall when she saw Nick come stumbling out from one of the rooms. "What happened?" She asked frantically.
Nick couldn't say a word, he just pointed to the door he came from. Lindsay was about to enter when Tom put himself first. He walked into the dark room closely followed by Lindsay and Grissom, the others stayed in the hall with Nick. They went over to the bed and saw a pole sticking up from the middle of it. Tom pulled back the sheet and ran out into the hall to throw up. Lindsay almost passed out at the sight in front of her, she turned around and Grissom caught her as she buried herself into his chest as he walked her out. There in the bed was Warrick and Alicia. Someone had rammed a spear through Alicia who was on top of Warrick, causing them both to be pinned against each other on the bed.
They walked out into the hall and Grissom closed the door. Greg and Alison came running up to them from the other end of the hall. "What happened?" He asked frantic.
"We heard someone scream." Alison filled in.
"We have to get out of here." Grissom said as Michael and Sara helped Nick and he helped Lindsay down the stairs. Catherine lent herself to Tom, with Greg's help, as the all went into the entrance room. Grissom and Lindsay were the first to the door. He reached a hand out, not remembering closing the door. He turned the handle, but it refused to budge. He giggled it harder until the handle fell off in his hand. "C'mon there's a door in the kitchen." He said. Lindsay said she could handle herself so he let her walk. The reached the kitchen in the back of the house and Grissom tried the knob there. "Damn it." He cursed. As soon as he said it A boom of thunder and a crack of lightening echoed through the house and the next thing they knew the power went out.
