Chapter 9: No More Warnings

Greg felt so scared and shocked that he actually told someone, especially that someone being Nick. He just sat on his couch, waiting for his friend to come back.

After what seemed like forever of waiting, which if reality it was on about five minutes, Nick emerged from the bathroom. His eyes blood-shot red. "Greggo, why didn't you tell me before?" He asked, sitting next to Greg.

"I was too afraid to." He answered, looking down.

"Greggo, this is serious. Are you for sure it's him?" Nick asked, hoping it wasn't Crane, anyone but him.

"That part confuses me. I went to the correctional facility he's staying at. They said he killed himself." Greg said. He explained the way he killed himself and who took the body.

"Could Crane have killed someone else?" Nick asked.

"That's what I thought but the Doctor ruled out the possibility." Greg explained.

"I've never heard of that coroner who took the body." Nick admitted. Greg nodded his head in agreement. "Do you still have the notes Crane wrote you and the tape?" He asked.

"Yeah." Greg answered.

"Get them and we'll go down to the lab. You'll be safe there." Nick assured Greg. Greg said he'd go and grabbed the notes and tape out of a drawer.

They were so absorbed in their own thoughts that when they began crossing the street, they didn't notice a car driving by. The heard the car nearing...

"Oh shit!" Nick yelled, as he grabbed Greg and they both ran across the street to where Sara was parked.

"Oh my god! Are you two okay?" Sara asked.

"No, not really. Sara we got to get to the lab." Nick told her.

She nodded her head, got into the driverside and started the Tahoe. Nick and Greg filled sara in on their conversation and she was just as shocked as Nick was when he found out, well, maybe not as much but close to it.

When they got to the lab, they made their way to Greg's lab. Greg sat down in his chair and put his head in his hands. Nick sat the tape and notes on the counter top. He read the notes and felt so bad for his friend.

"I'm going to go and get Grissom." Sara stated. She walked briskly out of the room and down the hall.

Nick looked up at Greg and noticed a small scab over his left temple. "Is that where he struck you?" He asked, pointing at Greg's head.

"Yeah." Greg replied. "Check out the tape, it shows the whole thing." Greg suggested to Nick. Nick nodded his head and went over to the television. He put it in the VCR and watched impatiently. Greg chose not to watch it. He was wondering what was taking Sara so long.

Once the tape was over, Nick felt so bad. That sick man came into this building and hurt his friend. "I'm so sorry Greggo." Nick apologized.

"It's all right." He paused. "Where's Sara?" He asked. Until now, Nick didn't notice.

"She should be back by now." Nick said.

"Greg, Nick, shift doesn't start of another hour." Grissom's voice said, as he entered the room, startling the two men.

"Have you seen Sara?" Nick asked.

"No, you two are the first ones here." Grissom told them.

"She went to go find you, we have something to tell you." Nick said.

"What is it?" Grissom asked curiously.

"Well, "Nick started but was cut off by something breaking. "What was that!" He asked what everyone was thinking.

"Greg, stay here, Nick come with me." Grissom said, pulling out his gun from its holster in his belt and they made thier way down the hall.

Greg waited impatiently out in the hall for them to return. He couldn't stand just waiting around, so he began to walk down the hallway. When he was about to walk past a closet, he heard a muffled sound. "What the...?" He asked, he openned the door. "Sara!" He yelled, a little bit surprised. He bent down and removed the gag. "What the hell happened?" He asked her, beginning to reach behind her to untie her hands, he found he couldnt because she was handcuffed.

"I was making my way down the hallway and then, then something hit me." She said. Greg watched her eyes go from him to behind him.

"Sara?" He asked.

"Don't move. Bitch, don't say a word, or I'll kill him." A voice said from behind him. This was the second time he heard those words from behind him. Sara didn't say a word and Greg didn't move. He could feel cold metal on the back of his neck. All of a sudden a rag was shoved into his mouth and over his nose He felt the cold of the metal go away from his neck. Crane then put hisd left arm around Greg's arm and chest, pinning Greg's left arm to his side and shoved the gun into his stomach. He knew what was on it and immediately began to struggle. "Stop or I'll shoot you." The voice told him. Greg ignored his words and tried to get the rag out of his face. He felt the power of the chloroform taking over. He began to get dizzy.

"Griss.." Sara tried to scream, but Nigel stopped her by a forcefull kick in the head. She passed out. He released Greg who was near unconsciousness. He fell to the floor hard. Crane tucked his gun into his belt and grabbed a pair of handcuffs. He took Greg's hands and put them behind his back, cuffing them together tightly. He then pulled out a cloth and tied it around Greg's head, gagging him. Nigel pulled Greg ruffly to his feet, slammed the closet door and stuck a piece of paper on the closet door. He dragged Greg down the hallway to the back of the building. Greg knew Nigel was pissed that Greg had trouble walking, but all he could think about was what was going to happen to him.

Greg knew he was going to pass out at any moment. He was roughly thrown into the backseat of a car and watched Nigel Get into the driver's seat. He looked into the passengers seat and saw someone sitting there, someone familiar. Before he could figure out who it was, he finally lost the battle and went unconscious.

"What was that!" Nick asked. He and Grissom heard a door slam. They both ran down the hall they had just came from. As they ran by doors, Nick noticed a white square on one of the doors. He paused which made Grissom run right into him.

"Nick?" He asked. Nick pointed to the door.

Looking at the note, it read:

He's mine now Nick. We'll keep in touch. You might want to help your friend behind this door. Don't call the police.

"Oh shit!" Nick stated. He knew by now Nigel was long gone. He openned the door to see an unconscious Sara laying down. Grissom helped Sara but Nick ws freaking out. He took off down the hall looking for any exit. He thought about the back door and when he stepped outside, he saw the end of a car turning around the corner.

Well there we go for my latest chapter. Was it too rushed? I felt like it was but I wanted to finish it. I'll try to update soon! I found a little mistake:

In Chapter 4, I put there were 3 pieces of paper in his pocket, there should only be two. Sorry about that.

R&R
