Vivian and Samantha walked to the car and put their gloves on, dreading what they knew was there, and as it entered their sight, so did the CSI team.
"Mac, Stella..." said Vivian in a simple greeting.
"Vivian..." they answered in unison, without even thinking about it.
Then Mac shook his head and said "Well, we have called you as soon as we could. The car is undoubtedly Agent Taylor's, and we're going to get the blood analyzed, but there is the 70 chance that it is Agent Taylor's."
"And about the rest," Agent Stella Bonasera continued, "there are serious signs of struggle, but we have found very little. Only some hair, and Agent Taylor's phone, broken on the floor. The kidnapper must have crushed it under his foot."
"It all seems to point out to a big amount of strenght." Vivian said.
"Somehow no, I don't think so." Sam interjected, rubbing her chin. "See, people can become unusually strong when in a rage... or focused."
Then she noticed a long hair, looking like one of the millions she had on her head. "But maybe this," she said, pointing to it, "could help us."
Mac gave her the tweezers and the plastic bag to collect it.
"That Calleigh Rosman was blonde, wasn't she?" Vivian asked, looking intently at the hair.
"Ask Martin. He and Danny went to talk to her." Samantha answered, giving the little plastic bag to Agent Mac Taylor's capable big hands. "It could be a man's, though." she said, not believing it herself.

In the meanwhile, Jack and Martin had got the DOD figured out, mostly because Danny had been with one of them until when he left to go home.
Then they began to discuss the possible suspects, and only one name came to Martin's mind.
"I know it's kind of hurried to say this without anything to support my hypotesis but my witnessing and some suspects, but I'm pretty sure that Calleigh Rosman is the guilty part, in both of our current... cases." He still couldn't shake the thought that, on that blackboard, there could have been his own photo.
"The woman you two interviewed yesterday?" Jack asked. "What makes you think that?"
"Well, she was obsessed with Luke Grillows, and had photos of him and her, and as I could notice photos of his, where he was with other women on whose face was glued Calleigh's." Martin took a deep breath. "And the initial of the kidnapper in the SMS was C."
"But why should she have taken Danny?" Jack said. "Maybe because she found out you suspected her?"
"Well, it's what I believe was the cause." Martin answered quickly, keeping himself from saying Well, duh. "But actually, it was me who theorized about Miss Rosman's guilt."
In the meanwhile, Vivian and Sam had returned, and before Jack could ask, "Anything useful?" Vivian asked Martin "Rosman? You and Danny interviewed Calleigh Rosman?"
Another Well, duh in the making. "Yes. Why?"
Vivian didn't say anything, just went to her computer and searched for a file.
When she found it, she motioned for Martin and the others to come near, and then asked Martin "Was it her?"
Martin shook his head; the woman was tall, raven-haired and a little plump, while Miss Rosman was small, blonde and thin.
"Well, it's understandable. You can't go and interview people who are six feet under." Vivian said.
"You mean...?" Jack asked.
"Yes, I do." Vivian answered. "Jack, don't you remember? And here I thought you ate enough fish."
"What...?" Martin begin to ask, but Samantha begin to answer him immediately.
"Don't worry, Martin, it's a case from before you entered the Squad. Young woman, recent mother, vanished while coming home from work. Her husband was here all the time to check if there were any new leads, he even tried to sleep with his son once in Jack's office. Anyway," Sam cleared her throat, "we found her a week later, in a motel. She had been shot, but the case was never closed. We could need a Lilly Rush here."
"So, if she" Martin pointed to the woman on Vivian's screen, "is Calleigh Rosman, WHO is the woman I and Danny talked to yesterday?"
