"Get away from me!", Tara screamed in fright when the man who had kidnapped her came through a door. He shouted at herand beat her with a club while he laughed at her pain. He hit her head a few times, causing her to fall, and once she finally fell down to the gound in the most vulnerable position, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at her face and threatened her with a smirk.
"I am going to kill you. Slowly, and painfully. I will watch you bleed to death as you cry out in pain. BUT NO ONE WILL HEAR YOU, BITCH!"
"No, no don't!", she whimpered meekly, scared literallyto death. She saw his grimacing face, andtried to take note of it in case she made it out alive, but it was hard with her eyes blurry from tears as she fought to stay calm enough to reason with him. But it was to late. She shivered and covered her face with her cold, clammy hands as she curled up on the floor into a fetal position and cried as hard as anyone ever cried, begging for her life. The last thing Tara heard was a gunshot ringing in her ears.
"Hey guys. Where's Tara?", Greg asked cheerfully as he pranced into the morgue.
Catherine looked up and replied, "I don't know. She hasn't answered her phone at home for a few hours. Grissom is going over to her house to bring her in."
"Oh. Okay. Well, let me know when she get's back!", Greg said with a smile as he walked back out of the morgue. Catherine winced. She had lied to Greg.
Grissom had recieved a letter earlier that day from who they think might be a kidnapper. Inside the note was a URL. Grissom sent the letter to Sara to be printed, while he went to the URL given.
YOU CAN'T HELP HER NOW. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TRY AND STOP ME, BUT SHE IS MINE, NOW AND FOREVER.. SHE CAN'T BE SAVED NOW, IT'S TOO LATE FOR HER.. THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE HER IN PERSON WILL BE IN THE MORGUE, COLD, STIFF, LYING ON THE SLAB. BUT, YOU MAY HAVE THE PRIVILEDGE OF WATCHING HER DIE, ALONE, WITH NO ONE TO HELP HER...was the message across the computer screeen.
Underneath it was a hyperlink. Grissom pressed it and saw a live video tape of the most horrific scene playing out right in front of him. He sent the link to Archie and ran over to the AV Lab to see what Archie could do with it. When Grissom left the computer room, he left the web page open on the monitor. Greg came in to talk to him, and his white coffee mug filled with steaming Blue Hawiian coffee came crashing down onto the dark grey carpet, shattering to peices. Greg saw the screen, with a video tape of Tara, nude, lying in a pool of crimson blood with a gunshot wound in her abdomen.
"GRISSOM!", he shouted, as he raced down the hall, stopping frantically at every single room to check for him. When he finally got to the AV lab and saw Grissom looking at the video with Archie, he was so out of breath, all he could get out was,"Tara ... blood ... help her ... hurry", and he looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"Greg? What's going on?", Grissom said as he turned to look at Greg.
"Tara! She's dying, we gotta help her! C'mon!", Greg said grabbing Grissom's arm, as if he was about to drag him out of the room.
