TO CSIFAN who reviewed this comment:

Great fic. I hope that you'll continue very soon. I'm kind of confused about one thing. How is Catherine able to jump up and struggle with this guy, then go over and tie Gil up if her ankle is broken (chapter 2). Did you change your mind about that?

Sorry if I confused you I am glad you brought it up. I guess I could change that but then, put yourself in this situation of the characters.. If someone you loved that was being attacked there is an adrenaline rush that takes over you and you do what you have to..

But for you I changed some stuff.

Her ankle is still broken but you have to re-read chapter 4 (ambush)

Case #4: Terror streak

Disclaimer: Do not own them, you know this and I know this

Catherine helped Gil with his bleeding nose and managed to untie his hands.

"So" Gil stood up " that's Paul Winters from the case you just worked?"

Catherine nodded her head "yeah, that's him alright." she paused when Gil started walking around the room.

"What are you looking for Gil?"

Gil made a face " anything I can use to protect you from him."

Catherine shook her head " what's the point" she whispered as tears swelled in her eyes " we won't get out of here, not alive anyway."

Gil who was unsuccessful in his search returned to her side. "Don't think like that, we don't even know why he brought us here or what his intentions really are. Besides, someone had to have found our tahoe by now, I bet Brass and the others are on the case, and they will find us in no time."

Catherine made a face " you know why he brought us here, stop pretending"

Gil pulled her close to him and held her tight " don't worry about what he did to those other women, think about what the others are going to say when we walk into the lab tomorrow, because they will find us." he paused and kissed her forehead " I am not going to let that monster hurt you not like that, not ever"

"That is so sweet" Paul Winters commented as he came back into the room with rope in hand " you two make a very cute couple, the best couple yet I think."

Paul walked toward the two and bent down in front of them. "I see you got your girl to untie you, normally this would tick me off, but like I was saying you two are special." he paused and grabbed Catherine and pulled her away from Gil.

" You and I" he began when Gil jumped to his feet to stop him. Paul pulled out a small switch blade, "stay there Gris," he snapped as she wrapped an arm around Catherine's body and held the knife over her throat.

"The three of us are going to have a great time together." he leaned in close to Catherine's ear. "You smell so good" he kissed her neck and then pushed her back toward Gil.

He then threw the rope at Gil "tie her hands behind her back please" he said in a calm tone. "Now"

Gil refused " not a chance in hell" he snapped.

Paul charged at him, not giving Gil enough time to react and punched him again "fine" he paused " Catherine sweetheart tie him up"

Catherine did the same as Gil and refused. Paul shook his head and grabbed Gil and began kicking him. Gil began to fight back and grabbed his foot.

Paul fell forward and landed on Gil and Catherine jumped on his back, ignoring the shooting pain that ran from her ankle halfway up her leg

"Get off of him" she screamed "get off"

Paul managed to fling her off his back and smacked her in the face. He then turned to Gil and put a foot on his neck and began choking him. "He's going to die Cat" he laughed " you better get over here and tie him up."

Catherine glanced from Paul to Gil and then back again and tried eagerly to stand once more.

"I can't" she began to sob "my ankle"

Paul shook his head "too bad, I really wanted him to be around for the show"

She tried to stand once again when she heard Gil groan.

Catherine struggled to get to her feet and grabbed the rope " okay" she snapped, " I'll do it"

"Make sure it's tight" Paul snapped, " If they aren't and I have to redo it, you will be sorry you wasted my time."

Catherine slowly made her way over to Gil as fast as she could on an injured ankle.

"Hurry up" Paul snapped "you did not seem to sore when you ambushed me"

Catherine reached Gil "I'm sorry" she whispered quietly to him as she bound his hands together behind his back.

"Now his feet" Paul requested "I don't want any interruptions when the fun begins" he smiled wickedly.

Catherine glared at Paul when she finished

" See" he smiled " was that so hard?" he walked over to Gil " you are going to make things ten times worse if you keep up the tough guy act."

Paul smiled a him and looked over at Catherine

" Your turn." Paul walked over to Catherine who was slowly backing away

" Don't make this any harder on your self honey." Paul grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward.

Catherine began to fight and hit him and tried to pull away.

Paul threw her to the ground and straddled her. Gil tried to get up but couldn't he began to yell at him

"Get off of her Paul" he yelled. But Paul ignored him "Paul" he tried again " get off her" Gil struggled and pulled at his ropes but could not get them loose. He then tried inching toward them on his back and stomach but it was no use.

Catherine tried to fight him off and ended up scratching his face. "Don't fight me Cat, it's not an option"

Paul in reaction to the scratch grabbed her hair and slammed her head back down on the cement Catherine screamed out in pain as her vision began to blur.

On impact Catherine stopped fighting as she went into a state of shock from the blow to her head.

Paul gripped her hands and tied them together he then lifted her up and threw her over his shoulder and carried her to a far corner in the room, dropped her on the small cot and bound her hands to the bed post.

"There" he smiled at Catherine who's head was spinning

Paul touched the scratch on his face " oh" he paused " I'm bleeding, I better clean this up."

Paul turned and walked out of the room and again the two csi's were left in the dark.
