From the back of his mind, where his sixth sense lays, came a faint, distant, weak voice. He was forced to strain so he can hear the voice that sounded more like an echo than anything else. The echo, which was so quite yet so deafening, kept repeating the words over and over again in the exhausted mind. Muffled words tried to force him back to his senses, which suddenly disappeared before his intense feelings that seemed to wash his body. From what he could catch, he thought that the words were: Should've expected it coming. Though it was the best solution for their situation, Nick Stokes found it unacceptable. The CSI knew that everything would be solved quickly if they followed the plan that Gil Grissom had made, but his mind --stubbornly-- kept repeating the words over, over and over again after the older man told him his plan.
All that whirled in his head the second Grissom's plan left his mouth. Out of reflex, Nick found himself retorting, "What?!"
His mind kept working and his brain didn't dare to stop going full speed; studying what Gil had said just a few moments ago. As Stokes got deeper into his study, he started to doubt his reasons for making such a fuss about the whole thing, but the sudden feelings prevented his senses from working.
Grissom turned to the source of the familiar voice, he could barely make out the younger man's shape in the dark. "You've heard me, Nick." He said, a little bit harsher than he intended to, but he knew that they didn't have time for arguments while there was --likely-- a killer somewhere in the school wanting to put an end for their lives. Just like a hunter, the unknown man was waiting for his prey. Grissom knew better than letting panic control their actions. They must think, and that was what they had done and the conclusion was a plan.
"But.." Nick said with hesitation, but for some reason his mind was now telling him to shut his yap, and he complied. For now he was going to listen to his senses. Somehow, he wondered, they make a lot of sense.
Pushing his thoughts aside for now, he nodded grimly; his doubts about the plan hadn't left him completely yet, but he would go on with it anyhow. "Let's do it," he declared his approval.
It was simple, actually it was SO simple that a four-year-old kid can execute it without any problems. The so-called plan was consisted of three major steps with no details needed: The First Step was to split up (which Nick refused totally in the beginning without being able to voice his disapproval). Step Two, was to check the school for an exit, --though the chances were slim, there was still a possibility-- if they could detect one, they would try to find the power source. The last step was to stay alive. Nick stopped at the third step.
Now, he thought, that's a toughy. According to what information they had for now, they were trapped in a big school with the criminal who step them up within the walls of the governmental building and they were about to divide into two groups. Not to forget that the criminal in question was, probably, armed while they stood bare handed. He pondered the problem in his head for a moment. Nope, not a toughy at all.
He sighed miserably, all what he wanted was to enjoy his day off by sleeping his full, and look where it ended. Trapped with not only his life, but his and his friends', also, on the line. Oh man, he moaned inwardly, what have he done in his life to deserve this? And also on his day off, he sighed again. Life's so unfair.
The others weren't feeling any better, the last case's affects hadn't left them yet. After the long case, they found themselves wanting to exchange anything for a day of rest. It left them weary with exhaustion that settled deep inside not letting go. Even their life's blood, known as coffee for some people, didn't help them much. Eventually, they took the day off to get some much-needed rest since it was apparent that they won't be much of a use in their state.
Now, every thought of sleep and a warm bed fled, their situation taking their priority now. Their dealing to the disaster that they found themselves in would solve their sleeping problem. Either they find this man, get back home and sleep, or he'd find them and they would sleep and never get up. It all counted on how they will act, so they had to clear thier heads and concentrate on the task at hand.
"No stupid risks," Grissom directed their attention back to the plan, "If you cross roads with him, don't try to take him down, you got no weapons to protect yourselves. If you don't find anything useful after two hours, come back here. We'll arrange another plan."
They all nodded wordlessly, determination evident on their faces and can be felt in the air surrounding them. They squared their shoulders and took deep breaths preparing themselves to what they are going to face.
"Okay, we'll divide into two groups as planned," Grissom said, "Nick, Sarah and Warrick group one while Catherine and I will be group two. Remember, after two hours, we meet back here. Is it clear?"
A chorus of "Yes" replied his question. He saw them move to the door and stop there, taking a few moments more to steel themselves.
"C'mon, guys." Warrick said opening the door quietly.
"Let's move it!" Was what Nick said before they left the classroom into the dark hall, beginning their search party.
