Well that WAS a boost in reviews YAY! Of course it doesn't entirely count since Korona cheated a little bit haha. But that's all right, I still see that loads of people like this story, I know it only has a few more chapters to go and then it'll be done but I'll leave my sincerely speech for the last chapter haha. Anyways...

Sorry not all the characters are always in the chapters, I try to use them all but sometimes I just don't have time or room for another voice, you could say. So sorry if one of the characters you like, like...Warrick or Sara really, aren't talking a whole lot, they're just not my favorites. You understand I hope.

Chapter 18: Rescue Me

He layed on the bed in extreme pain. Not only did his body hurt but now he's pride as well. He could feel blood seeping out of his body and onto the bed. He closed his eyes and hoped for the best. Well hope didn't really favor him that well so he just wallowed in his own pain and agony and completely gave up. He knew everyone cared for him but where were they? He knew it was no use staying awake because he'd just feel the pain and who cares what happens to his sleeping body. They've done everything, they might as well kill him. Greg Sanders lay on the blood soaked bed, letting darkness surround his sight and take him into an uneasy, yet peaceful sleep.

"Where is he!" Nick said to himself, starting to grow really impatient. He had been driving on 182 for about an hour and there were moutains everywhere. He had finally decided to just drive towards one. The tahoe could take it. He drove forever and ever. When he thought that he should go look some place else, he lucked up. Just below a cliff, sat a tiny little shack. It looked like it was a one room building. He decided to stop by the cliff and obviously walk the rest of the way down. It wouldn't be that hardm would it?

"So what should we do with the boy?" Richards asked Crane, as they sat at the table in the shack.

"We might as well just end his suffering. I mean, Gregory isn't going to be saved and I doubt Nicky will be able to find it, right?" Crane explained calmly.

"Yeah, you're right." richards decided.

"Then how about we just shoot him?" Crane suggeted.

"You're the boss." Richards implied.

Nigel and Richards both walk over top of Greg. Nigel has a gun drawn on him. He cocks back the barrel. He starts to put pressure on the trigger...

"Wait!" A sudden shout came. The gun went off.

"What?" Crane asked, looking confused over towards Richards. No Greg wasn't shot, Crane pointed it to the ceiling and let it off in frustration.

"Well, let's make it a little better. Let me poor some water on his face, wake him up then do it?" He asked sinisterly.

"I guess so." Nigel agreed. Richards ran over to the sink, filled a glass full of the water, walked back over towards Greg and poured it on his face. He immediately woke up, choked, then suddenly froze from shock. A gun was right in his face. He felt like he couldn't breathe. He was scared out of his mind. He thought that death would be better but now that it's coming he thought about not being able to get married, have kids, start up a family.

"oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.." Greg thought to himself over and over. His eyes began to water and he closed them tightly. He heard the gun cock, and he flinched at the sound. It was coming.

"Wait!" A voice shouted.

"Now what?" Crane said, looking over towards Richards. He was looking over Crane's shoulder, at the front door.

"Hello Nicky. What a pleasant surprise." Crane greeted their unexpected guest, not taking the gun off of Greg. Greg's eyes shot open and he looked over toward the door.

"Oh god, Nick, it's really you." Greg said, gratefully.

"Crane let him go." Nick ordered, holding his gun firmly towards Crane.

"Now, no need for violence." Crane said, taking his gun arm down. Nick's didn't move. "Why didn't you bring anyone?"

"I thought it was a private party." Nick replied. "Now untie Greg."

"If you really want me to, I guess I could..." Crane toyed with him.

"Damnit, just let him go!" Nick demanded.

"Very well." Crane said. He grabbed keys from his pocket and unchained Greg's wrists, then ankles. Greg hastily got up and stumbled over towards Nick. nick had to catch him because Greg didn't realize how weak he really was. Truthfully he hadn'r eaten since the day he was taken and he had been beat and, used. He jsut fell to the floor, full of tears of joy.

"Nick, thank you so much." Greg thanked him.

"You're okay Greggo. Just hold on." Nick told his friend.

"Sorry Nick but you're not going anywhere." Crane told him. He and Richards had both their guns drawn on the two friends.

"Sorry Nigel but this is over." Nick said. When he said 'over' he said it louder than he needed to.

"And why would you think that?" Crane asked. "We've outnumbered you."

"Not entirely Nigel." Grissom said, coming up from behind them. Crane turned around and there was Brass, Catherine, Sara, Warrick, and about ten other cops. Nigel and Richards dropped their guns. Two officers stepped up and handcuffed the two men.

"How did you know to come?" Greg asked Grissom.

"Nick isn't that stupid, he knew something like this would happen and he needed backup. We were tailing him by about 10 miles. That way if Nigel or an accomplish was looking around, they wouldn't see Nick bringing more people. Once he found the shack, he called us and told us." He told him.

"Oh, good." Greg smiled, passing out. He knew he was in good hands now.

0000

"Hey." Catherine greeted Greg as he woke up.

"How long have I been out?" Greg asked.

"Umm, only about four hours which means go back to sleep. You're in the hospital now. You're safe." Catherine assured him.

"Okay." Greg simply replied, closing his eyes.

"How's he holding up?" Nick asked, walking into the room about five minutes after Greg fell back asleep.

"He's doing good. He seems happy. Or, at least content." Catherine told him. "So what's the story with Crane?"

"He claims that it's only him and the two doctors. Greg told me there was a woman, the, the secretary, but no one's seen her so I guess we have to wair for Greg to wake up to tell us for sure."

"Well, you don't have to wait. I'm wide awake. Now what is it you need?" Greg asked.

"You said that secretary was with them too, right?" Greg nodded his head. "What was her name again?"

"Mrs.Malone. I suppose you're going to ask what happened from the moment I was taken from the lab to now huh?" Greg asked.

"Well, It's procecdure I'm afriad." Catherine said. "You want me to get everyone else in here so you don't have to retell it?"

"Yeah." Catherine walked out of the room to get the other three. They had gone down stairs to get some coffee.

"Greggo, I.." Nick paused catching his breath. "I'm really terribly sorry I didn't save you any sooner. I feel so horrible about it. This shouldn't have happened to you." Nick apologized.

"It's all right. I'm alvie right?" Greg said, trying to cheer him up. he was of course happy to be there but he was still scared. I mean wouldn't you be at least a little bit paranoid after all that?

"Hey Greg." Warrick greeted him, patting him lighty on the shoulder.

Grissom smiled at him and Sara leaned over him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"You know Sara, I wouldn't have a problem with you doing that more often." Greg said grinning.

"Well, glad to know you're back to yourself." Sara replied.

"Well, here's what happened. I looked in the car and I saw..." And Greg told them the whole story. Every now and then you'd hear a small gasp from one of the women or a no way or something from the men. No one wanted to interupt him. When he was finished they were basically speechless.

"Well, we're going to find that girl, I promise you." Grissom said after a long, akward silence.

"Thanks." Greg responded.

"Mr. Grissom. I'm sorry to interupt but I'm afraid I have to. Visiting hours are over but one of you are aloud to stay here, because we know he'd probably like to have company." A doctor told them.

"Yes thankyou." Grissom said.

Well we all know who had the right to stay with Greg. Everyone said their goodbyes and left Nick and Greg in the room alone.

"So, now that we're alone, tell me honestly. How are you?" Nick asked.

"I'm, I'm fine, Nick.." Greg said. He looked at Nick and saw he didn't believe him. "Well, I'm just a little shaken up. I'll be fine." He said honestly.

"Don't worry, " He grabbed Greg's hand in like a good friends clamp, not a slash like way if you know what I mean. "I'll always be right behind you if you need any help. You're my bro." Nick told him.

"Thanks Nick." Greg said.

"Now, would you like some coffee?" nick asked, standing up.

"Yeah that sounds good.Too bad they don't have Blue Hawaiian here." Greg pouted.

"I'll be right back." Nick stated.

Greg began to mind his own business, playing a game on his reunited cell phone. He heard the door open. "That was quick Nick." Greg said to his friend.

"I bet you wish I wish Nick baby." A female voice said threateningly, shuting the door behind her. Greg completely froze.

So how's that haha. I love the cliff hanger like endings, don't you? Well I'll probably have one maybe, doubtedly two more chapters and this story will sadly be over with. I'd hate to end it so abruptly. Hopefully my next stories will be longer. I absolutely love kidnap fics. It's like a passion haha. I'd so round up a posse to kidnap Greg Sanders. Wouldn't a lot of you love to join me? haha. Let's see that awesome boost of reviews again. See ya all later!

To my Dukes of Hazzard pals that will review me, If you go to my profile thing, I've got my idea of a plot, does it sound good. hope you'll like it and the first chapter should be up soon.

Love you all!
