Summary: On an outing at the mall with Lindsey, Catherine is abducted leaving only one witness. Her daughter. Gil is called to investigate, the case, . Why was Catherine abducted and what does it have to do with Sam Braun?


Gil watched as Lindsey as she sat across from him at the break room table reading a magazine.

Everyday she looked more and more like her mother " Lindsey?" he began only to be interuppted by his cell phone.

"Grissom." he called into the phone

"Mr Grissom, I take it you got my video tape, I hope the messgae got across" Harrison called into the phone " I hope you realize for Catherine's sake what your up against"

"'What do you want" Where's Catherine?" he yelled

Immidiatley Lindsey jumped to her feet and ran to his side " Is that my mom?"

Gil shook his hand at her to keep it down and focused back on the call at hand.

"Mr Grissom, I won't waste anymore of your time, you know where Sam Braun works, you know where to find him and hey, your the investigator, I am sure you can finish him off and make it look like an accident, without leaving any evidence behind, All I want is for him to be dead by noon tomorrwo afternoon, not a moment before. And Gil I will be watching, closer then you think, and if you screw up or try anything, Catherine will be starring in another video and I gaurantee that it will be worse then the first."

Gil called in to the phone at him but he had hung up before Gil could reply.

"DAMIT " Gil yelled slamming the phone down

Lindsey starred at him tears forming in her eyes " Uncle Gil is my mom..-"

"NO" He told her "don't think like that, your mom is fine I promised I would bring her home and that's what I am going to do, She is going to be here for christmas and you'll get to tell her you are sorry and how much you love her and you'll never have to worry or be afraid ever again."

Lindsey hugged him " thank you"

Gil smiled " No problem, you know I love you and your mom and I only want the best, for both of you"


Catherine sat curled up in a ball against the wall on the cold cement floor, her body trembling, fearing the return of her captor.

Harrison returned to the room, making Catherine jump to her feet to be ready for his next move

"Relax" Harrison snapped " I just thought you should know that I talked to Gil and told him what to do and if he pulls through and does what I ask then maybe just maybe I will reconsider gefting rid of you of course it will his decison in the end"

Catherine did not respond to him and kept her eyes on the floor

"Don't be scared sweetheart" he said placing his hand on her face, " Everything that happend, happend for a reason, don't blame yourself for what happened and don't blame yourself for what's to come"

Catherine looked up at him, her eyes full of fear at his last words " Of whats to come," echoed in her head and she felt her eyes tearing up as Harrison left the room and left her in the dark.
