"Call me on my cell when the Parkers get home and I can pick you up" Catherine said as she stopped Lindsey from jumping out of the viechle

"Mom, I am not a kid, I can walk home, it's not far" Lindsey whined

"No" Catherine replied " You wait for me , Lindsey I mean it, it is not safe for you to be walking the streets after dark"

"Okay Mom" Lindsey called closing the door " Mom" she called through the window " I love you"

Catherine smiled " I love you too" she smiled "and you are still a kid" she smiled

Catherine watched until her daughter had entered the house before she pulled away.


Lindsey looked at her watch and flopped down on the couch in the Parkers living room "7:30" she whispered to herself " Three more hours,I better start my homework"

Lindsey reached under the coffee table and grabbed her back pack

"ohhhh I hate long division" she groaned copying down the first question in her text book.

After only about twenty minutes Lindsey had her math work halfway down and was getting up to grab a snack when the phone rang.

"Hello" Lindsey answered

"Hello" she called again when no one responded. Lindsey was about to hang up when a man spoke

"I'm upstairs with the children, you'd better come up." he whispered and hung up the phone

Lindsey made a face and put the phone on the table beside her and continued her homework when the phone rang again

"Hello" she picked up again

Instead of speaking ,this time the man just laughed

Lindsey got spooked and hung up the phone

"Star six nine" she whispered her self as she got ready to push the three buttons " But that cost's money and the Parkers asked me not to" she continued " so I won't"

Lindsey put the phone down once gain nad tried concentrating on her homework but it was no use she was too freaked out

"Should I check on the kids" she asked herself, " but if I wake them up they will never get back to sleep"

Lindsey closed her notebooks and sat back on the couch and watched the phone.

"Lindsey your being weird" she informed herself " your just nervous"

Lindsey shook off the fear and grabbed the empty plate her snack was on and headed for the kitchen when the phone rang again.

Lindsey slowly walked back toward the couch and stared at the phone

"He....hello"

"I'm upstairs with the children" the man whispered into the phone "you'd better come up"

Lindsey slammed the hung up he phone quickly and dialled a familiar number


Gil looked at his watch as Catherine rushed into the breakroom

"Sorry" she immediatley began apologizing, " Lindsey finished her babysitting course yesterday and yes I know she is only tweleve but the family down the street asked her to babysit until around ten and I had to drop her off and then I had to run a small errand"

"I didn't say anything" Gil smiled and handed her a white slip of paper

"So did anyone see or talk to Nicky or Sara today" Catherine asked plopping down at the table

Gil nodded his head "yeah, Nick is recovering pretty quick they want him to stay a few more days and Sara is being relesed from her lock down, no thanks to Ecklie who thought she needed a few extra days and she says she is ready to come back to work but I don't thinik it is a good idea"

"Gil, she lost one of her good friends, while she sat a few feet away what do you want her to do? Sit at home and feel guilty? Just let her come back, give her something light she will be okay"

Gil nodded again " Yeah well we will see, but for now, Warrick you are flying solo tonight and Catherine you and I have a 420 at the Tangiers"

Warrick got up to leave and stopped "What a minute, where is Greg I thought he was with us until we got our team back"

"Greg, put in some monster overtime the other day so he ot the night off, he was going to some big party with some old college buddies or something"

Warrick made a face and headed off to his crimescene, leaving Catherine and Gil alone

"So I thought about what you said the other night and I-" Gil began

Catherine cut him off " You thought about what I said!! get out" she smirked

Gil made a face " Never mind"

"Oh no, I m' sorry it's just your not really a tell your feelings kind of guy, but I am listening, what do you got?"

"I was just think about what Warrick said the other night about that the thing in ninety-three? Well I looked into it and it came up under a list of Urban Legends"

"Urban Legends?" Catherine smikred " You can't...be...serious" she paused " oh god, it all makes sense, when Sara's friend was killed, went to see her the other night and she was telling me about the scratching she kept hearing, and then you just said about the Urban legends and it all makes sense, that was one of the legends but-" Catherine was interuppted when her cell phone rang.
