"Catherine?" Grissom had answered his phone after it woke him up.

"Gil! Please help!" She cried on the other end. All defences dropped and Grissom was instantly trying to comfort her.

"Catherine? Where are you? What's going on?"

"He's got Lyndsey! (Not sure how u spell her name, I always spell it how mine is.)

"Who?" Catherine?"

"That doesn't matter now Gil." The voice was high pitched, altered by helium. "You've got ten minutes before I kill someone. Three to choose from. And after the first, you have five minutes before I kill the next and another five till I kill the last." A laugh bubbled out. "So hurry." And the phone went dead.

Grissom was instantly up and running for his car, grabbing his phone on the way out. He lived twenty minutes away from Catherine; Nick was closer, as was Greg.

"Hello?" came a tired voice.

"Greg? Get to Catherine's and be armed. Ring the others on the way over, I'm ringing Nick."

"Is she okay?"

"We only have ten minutes before she's dead, hurry!" He said before he hung up and rang Nick. He dropped his phone in his lap as he swerved to avoid an on coming car.

Picking up the phone again and putting his foot down he rang Nick.

"Grissom, what's happened?" 'Caller ID' he thought before ordering Nick to get over to Catherine's.


Nick pulled up outside Catherine's house and spotted Greg's car parked outside. He got out and ran to the broken door, barely held on by the hinges.

"Nick!" Came Greg's voice.

"Greg?" he ran into the living room to find Greg over the body of Catherine. "Is she…?"

"She's alive. Call and ambulance."

"Grissom already called for one." And right on cue one pulled up outside.

"Check Bobby." Greg ordered, pressing down on the stab wound on Catherine's stomach.

"Dead." Nick gulped.

The paramedics swept in and went to Greg to take over. One of them checked Bobby, pronounced him dead and then moved back to Catherine.

"She's stable, lets get her out!" one of the shouted, lifting her onto a trolley and wheeling it outside.

"Lyndsey?" Nick called, looking into her room and finding the door closed. He pulled his weapon free and nodded for Greg to open the door. He did so and quickly found Lyndsey in a ball on the floor crying.

"Lyndsey." Greg whispered.

"Greg?" she asked, and then threw herself into his stomach crying onto his shoulder.

"She's still alive." Greg told her, hugging her tightly with the back of his hands, trying not to touch her with his bloody hands. But she just clung on tighter.

"Nick, can you take her, till I…" he nodded to his bloody palms.

"No please don't!" Lyndsey cried.

"Here." Nick passed a clean towel, which he wiped his hands on.

"Thanks. Lyndsey, lets follow after your mum." He took her hand with his dry, but slightly stained one and led her carefully out the back door so she wouldn't go through the living room. "Nick, would you wait here till the others arrive?"

Nick nodded and helped him put Lyndsey up front and then watched him drive off.


"What's going on?" Grissom asked, spotting Nick in the front door while the police taped off the area.

"Bobby's dead, Catherine's just hanging in there. Greg's taken Lyndsey to see her." Nick explained, waving Sara over as she ran from her car after picking up Dr Robbins to meet his Coroner team at the scene.

"Brass is here." Nick added as they gathered before him.

They all entered the building to investigate what had happened.

"Sara, will you go over to the hospital to get a statement from Greg and Lyndsey, and Catherine if she wakes up." Grissom asked.

"Sure." She answered heading back out to go to the hospital.

"Maybe we can finally get a name." Brass suggested.

"I hope so." Grissom answered, as he looked over at the corpse of Bobby the lab tech. He had been stabbed numerous times in the stomach and had bled out quickly. "I hope so."
