So far Grissom and his team were having zero luck locating nick or his Police tail. Grissom was going more agitated by the minute and everyone had long since learned to duck and cover when they saw him coming down the hall.

"Anything yet?" Grissom asked Cathrine , she had maps spread out in front of her, a marker in her hand.

"No, theres to many places to hi some here, You and Warrick know this guy, is there any where not in Vegas he would take Nicky" Cathrine asked Grissoms eyes lit up and he smiled.

"Cathrine your beautiful, of course he would go to the one place we would never think of the look, the house where he tried to take Nick the first time." Grissom pointed to a small wooded area a mile or two from the lake Cathrine cale dint he location to the air crew, Warrick was with them, and he knew exactly where to look. The passed over th woods several times without seeing anything, and then Warrick caught a glimpse of something moving fast through the dense trees.

:Hey can you go around a gin i think i saw something down there." The pilot obliged, and again caught the smallest glimpse of some thing on the ground.

Nick continued to run dodging trees and trying to keep his feet under him. It had rained a few days ago and the ground in the woods was still muddy where the sun had not yet reach it.

"Do you really think you can get away?" Delaney taunted, Nick pumped his legs harder if he could just get out this stupid woods he could figure out where he was. What was with this nut and the woods, anyways.

"Come on Nicky, why won't you just give up and take it like a man, its going to to happen any way." The voice once again taunted him.

"GO TO HELL!" Nick yelled never breaking his stride. Just little further Nick keep going he can't get you or he would have you by now. The he heard a sound like angels singing, A helicopter was nearby, hopefully looking for him. He had to find a way out of this trees so the could see him. He stopped a minute to look around, and get his bearings. Okay lets see, last time I was in here i went north to go into the trees and south to get out.' He turned south and started to run again.

Delaney tracked Nick with a dart gun, waiting for the right moment to shot him down. He saw nick stop for a briefest moment and then turning a different direction head off again.

"You'll be mine Nick, you can't get out of here." He vowed taking his gun and jogging behind his prey.

Nick felt his heart skip a beat as he finally made it to a clearing the woods, he was just a foot or two from being rescued when he felt something pierce his skin, at the back of his neck. He reached up and pulled a dart out of his flesh, staring at it in confusion for a minute before tossing it and starting off for the clearing again. He only made it a foot before falling to ground, he flipped over into he back and tried to sit up but his strength was gone. The lat thing he saw before blackness was Delaney's grin.

Warrick frowned as he watched the ground, he could have sworn he saw something moving around.

"Maybe it was just an animal." The pilot suggested, Warrick sighed in frustration and signaled the pilot to go to another section of woods.

Delaney watched from his hiding place beside the sleeping Nick, a grin formed on his ugly face as he watched the helicopter fly away.

"looks like its just you and me." Delaney grinned down at the still unconsious man at his feet.
