Chapter 13 abduction

Catherine latched the door behind her and raced toward the window.

She reached her arms above her head to reach the window but realized
reaching it would be harder then she thought and she had very little
time.

Catherine let out a large breath and jumped upward trying to reach
the ledge.

On her third attempt she grabbed the legde and prayed she had
enough upper body strenght to pull herself up and open the window.

After a few moments Brass walked out of his office to go after Sam.

"Sam!" he called openeing his office door and racing in to the
corridor "Sam!"

Sam turned to him " I have to go to her!"

Brass walked toward him " You can't you don't know where they are"

Sam nodded " Maybe I do!"

Brass raised his eyebrow " You can't go alone wait for me!" and he
turned to go to his office.

When Brass came back out Sam was nowhere in sight

Brass walked quickly toward the break room to find Sara and Warrick
swaping information on the case.

"Hey did you see Sam come through here?"

Warrick nodded and looked over at Sara

"Yeah, He just went out, I assumed he was leaving but I was
wondering why the recenlty dead man was driving his car around town
when he should be well... not driving his car around.?"

Brass didn't wait for her to finish nad raced toward the parking lot
to see Sam's vehicle pull out.

Feeling like Sam knew more about the case then he let on, Brass
climbed into his car and followed him.

Catherine pulled her upper body forward and was able to hold on
enough to slide open the window and knock out the screen. After
losing her hold her hands slipped and she fell from the window landing
in her back.

It took her a second to shake off the pain shooting up her spine but
she got back on her feet and before reaching for the window again
she glanced at the door when the door knob started to jiggle and
pounding came from the other side.

"open the door Catherine!" Harrison yelled to her from the other
side of the door.

"You left your boyfriend out here and if you don't open the door, I
won't be responsible for what happens to him."

Catherine hands began to shake and her body began to tremble when
she heard the horrible sounds of a body being kicked.

Catherine ran to the door and was ready to open it when she heard
Gil call to her.

"Don't open it" he begged her " Cath don't open the door."

Catherine backed away from the door until once again Gil yelled out
in excruciating pain when Harrison kicked him in the side.

"Come on Catherine he's going to die out here and it will be all
your fault"

Catherine's mind was racing and she was stumped on what to do. If
she left Gil she might never see him again. But if she did go to
help him, it could risk both their lives.

Catherine didn't want to do it, She loved him and she needed to go
back no matter what he said.

She walked slowly toward the door and reached for the handle, but
stopped short when she heard his breathing right outside the door.

"I know you're right there" he called to her " Why do you think you
can escape? I know every hiding place and every inch of this place,
You really think I don't have a way of getting in there to you?"

As her body trembled she turned from the door when she heard the
lock unlatch.

Catherine raced to the window and jumped for the ledge and was
successful on her first atempt. She pulled herself up and was half
way out of the window when Harriosn grabbed her leg and began
pulling her back.

"NO!" Catherine screamed " LET GO!" she yelled as she began to kick
her feet wildly " Let go!"

Catherine continued to kick her feet and caught Harrison square in
the motuh and he fell backward giving her ample time to pull her
self forward.

On the outside of the house Catherine's body slammed forward and
into the gravel and dirt and she slowly got up and looked around her.

Catherine had no idea where she was. She was surround by trees and
darkness, but when she heard Harrison calling to her from the back
of the house her first instinct was to run!
