Disclaimer: Do not own anything,

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?


Sam, Brass, Lindsey and the other members of Graveyard and swing
shift sat in the waiting room waiting for some word from the doctor.

"Mr. Braun?" The doctor came toward the group. " I'm doctor
Spencer. I'm one of the emergency surgeons on call. I am under the
impression that you are related to one of the two patients that were
brought in tonight.?"

Sam nodded " Yes, I'm here for both of them" he lied

Dr. Spencer smiled " Okay well, have a seat and I will take you
through this." he sighed " Miss Willows suffered from a gunshot
wound to the chest. Unfortunatley when the bullet entered it grazed
her aorta and as we are both aware the aorta is the main vain in in
this condition the most..."

Sam shook his head " Just get to the point!"

"Okay" Dr. Spencer sighed again " Well there is not much we can do
for her at this point. We have removed the bullet but like I said it
has grazed her aorta and so the next few hours will be touch and go.
i can't really say at this point if she is going to make it or not."

"WHAT?" Lindsey screamed from beside Sam " NO she can't die, she has
to be okay, they both need to be okay"

Sam put a hand on his head and sighed " I can't believe this!" he
whispered to himself as he watched Lindsey's reaction

Sam went toward Lindsey " Stay away!" she screamed at him " Don't
touch me, This is all your fault and I hate you!"

Sam stopped and turned back to the Dr. Spencer

"Thank you" he whispered leaving the waiting area.

Brass watched him leave and decided not to stop him

"What about Mr Grissom!" he turned to the Doctor

"Mr. Grissom's case is just as serious. He suffered from a gunshot
that eveidently struck his spine. At first he was clearly able to
move his legs but now we have come to see that he is temporarily
paralyzed, he has no feeling from the waist down. No it may be a
good sign that this did not hit him instantly there maybe hope that
the feeling will come back but at this time we can't really say yes
or no."

Brass was about to interuppt but the doctor insisted on continuing

"He also suffered from several cracked and broken ribs, normally
these would be able to heal themselves with the necessary care but
in most case when ribs are broken they break outward. In this case
when they cracked the went backward and not forward and right now
they are pressing against his heart. Now we need to operate again
but on false or sudden move against the bone and it could rupture
his heart. Becasue this is such as risky operation we need some type
of consent."

Brass made a face " But the only other person related to Gil to give
that consent ifs his mother and she is deaf and at the moment
unreachable.

"Correct!" the doctor smiled " then the other choice would be Miss
Willow who is in no condition to make any decisions. There is only
one other person on Mr. Grissom's list. " he turned to the young
girl beside Brass

"I am assuimg that's you Lindsey Willows?"
