Hello everyone. Thanks for the reviews. I'm really sorry for the cliff hanger I couldn't help myself.

This was a hard chapter to write with all of the action (oops did I give a hint?) hopefully it makes sense.

Now on with the story.

Brass got up from his position and jumped into the car. The engine roared when he did a u-turn. He stopped just quick enough for Warrick to jump in.

Brass turned on the siren and police lights, and hit the gas. Warrick had the sense to buckle his seatbelt and hold on. Both men were trying to keep on eye on the van. Brass grabbed his radio and began to speak.

"This Alpha Charlie-10, in pursuit of a 2005 Black GMC van, Nevada license plate Bravo, Echo, Charlie 636, they are northbound on 101st street. They just passed Commons."

"Roger that Alpha Charlie-10, we have units on the way." Brass heard through the radio.

"Dispatch please be advised that the suspects are armed and dangerous. Proceed with caution, the suspects have a hostage in the vehicle."

"Roger. All units responding to 10-13 at 1005 101st Street please be advised that suspects have a hostage in the vehicle. Proceed with extreme caution." The dispatcher repeated.

The van was slowly pulling away from the Taurus. Brass went faster.

When Nick came out of the convenience store he bumped into two big guys. It was innocent enough; he apologized, and tried to step to the side to get by. He knew something was wrong when they grabbed him and began to drag him over to the van parked in front of the store.

"What the hell are you doing...let go of me!" Nick screamed and struggled.

His screams fell on deaf ears. He looked across the street to find Brass and Warrick heading his way, he had gotten their attention. He jumped when gunfire erupted from the front window of the van. He saw Warrick and Brass take cover behind the Taurus.

Before Nick could say another word two more guys grabbed him from inside the van. He was quickly thrown to the floor and hands were firmly secured behind his back. He felt them remove his gun from his holster. They grabbed him from under his armpits, turned him around and slammed him against the side of the van.

Nick grimaced, then looked up at his abductors. He was surrounded. He fell over into the guy sitting to his right, when the van took a wide turn. He was roughly pushed back into place. It was obvious that they were still trying to elude Brass.

Nick finally got up the courage to speak. "Who the hell are you guys? Do you realize kidnapping a cop is a serious crime?"

"Gag him!" Nick heard from the front of the van.

Nick tried to move away, which caused the guys in the back to laugh. One of the men grabbed Nick by the shoulders, while the second one placed the gag into Nick's mouth. Nick stared daggers at them. He turned his head towards the front of the van when he heard the same voice speak up.

"I'm sorry Nick." Nick looked at him with shock, 'How did this guy know his name?'

"But we can't have you distracting our driver when we are trying to elude your friends." Brent said from the passenger seat in the front of the van.

Nick struggled with his bindings, but couldn't get loose. He closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath. He hoped beyond all hope that Brass and Warrick would be able to rescue him.

'What have I gotten myself into now?' He thought to himself as the van sped down the road.

Brass and Warrick were still in pursuit of the van; they were just about to come into an intersection when a Cadillac came into view cutting them off. Brass fought to control the car as he slammed on the brakes. This caused a chain effect; there was no way to get around all the cars that now littered the intersection.

Brass jumped out of his car and watched the van sped down the street. He reached into his and car grabbed his radio.

"Dispatch, this is Alpha-Charlie-10, suspect vehicle is now heading East on Energy Pass Road. I have a multi-vehicle accident at the intersection of 101st and Energy Pass Road. I am unable to continue pursuit." He said frustrated as he chucked his radio back in the car.

"Roger Alpha-Charlie 10."

Brass looked around the scene for Warrick, assuming that he would be helping the injured. When he didn't see him, he bent down to look into the car. What he saw choked him up.

Warrick just sat there looking out of the window. A lump formed in Brass's throat when he saw a single tear fall down Warwick's left cheek. Brass swallowed the lump back down his throat and spoke.

"Warrick … we will find him." He said with determination.

"We failed him Brass." Warrick said as stepped out of the car. He fumbled looking for his phone. "I have to call Grissom, and tell him what happened."

Brass walked up to Warrick and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Warrick, I will call Grissom. It was my responsibility to watch you guys. I'm at fault. Why don't you go and see if EMS needs an extra hand."

Warrick slid his phone back on his belt and walked away.

Brass took a deep breath as he grabbed his phone and dialed Grissom's number. He could feel his heart beating faster. Giving someone bad news was never good, especially when you were the person responsible.

Gil Grissom sat at his desk. He was still working on his folders for the coming audit. The pile was a lot lower than it was at the beginning of the shift. A few more hours and he should be finished. He glanced up when he heard his fish singing. Catherine Willows stood in the doorway. Grissom smiled.

"Finished already?"

Catherine walked in and sat down. "Nope just needed a break. I should be finished by end of shift."

"Same here, I have a few more hours worth of work, then." Grissom's cell phone rang. He looked at the display. "It's Brass." He said to Catherine.

"Grissom."

"Gil, Nick's gone." Brass started.

"What! What do you mean Nick's gone?" Catherine sat up and leaned in closer to Grissom. "Did he take off without telling you?"

Brass grimaced at Grissom's response he took another deep breath. "No Gil he didn't take off, he was grabbed by someone just outside the convenience store that we stopped at."

"He was grabbed…Brass please tell me that you are joking." Grissom said as he struggled with his emotions.

Catherine got up from her seat and started pacing, waiting for Grissom to tell her the bad news.

"No joke Gil I'm afraid Nick really has been kidnapped again." Brass barely replied.

"We need you guys out here. Nick was grabbed at 1005 101st Street. Warrick and I are just down the street from there on 101st and Energy Pass Road at a multi-vehicle accident.

"We'll be there in fifteen minutes." Grissom closed his cell phone and leaned back into his seat. He slowly looked up at Catherine.

"Nick's been kidnapped again. Brass needs us out there. I'll notify Ecklie. Could you please get Sara and Greg, and I'll meet you outside in five minutes."

Catherine ran out the door before Grissom could finish. She was in shock. It has only been a year since Nick was taken from a crime scene and buried alive. They made it just in time, another few minutes and Nick would have been out of air. It seemed that Nick had nine lives; she only hoped that he wasn't using the last one.

Nick took a quick look at his abductors as they raced down the street. He heard the guy in the front talking on a radio.

"Yea we are coming up on Energy Pass now, be ready."

Nick wondered what he was talking about. His question was soon answered when he heard the sound of screeching tires and crashing cars. The siren that had been three car lengths behind was getting farther and farther away.

Now Nick knew what they meant. The person on the other side of the radio created a diversion to cover their escape. His only hope of a rescue was now quickly fading away.

They drove for a few minutes longer, when the van made a sharp turn. Nick's attempt at not falling over again failed. This time the guys just let him lay there. Within minutes the van came to an abrupt halt.

Suddenly the back doors of the van opened. There stood three more men and they all looked like linebackers. The men in the van jumped out of the back doors. They turned around and roughly pulled Nick out of the car.

Nick glanced around trying to get his bearings. He was in an alley. Where this alley was, he had no idea. Parked in the alley were a black stretch limo and a Red Ford Expedition. He struggled as he was led to the Expedition. He suddenly heard a voice from behind him. He was forced to face the voice, the whole time attempting to get free.

Brent was ecstatic he was finally face to face with the leverage he needed to free his brother from prison. His well-orchestrated plan went perfectly. He was able to grab Stokes right under that cop's nose. Yes, he was having a great night, and it was going to get better.

He noticed Nick struggling to get free. 'Why doesn't he realize that there's no way to escape?' he thought to himself.

He could no longer contain himself. As Nick struggled it made Brent angrier and angrier. He finally spoke.

"You can either go conscious or unconscious Nick. I would suggest you stop struggling, but we couldn't care less. There's no way out of here for you." Brent said with an evil smile.

Nick took in his words and stopped struggling. At least if he was conscious he could see where they were taking him.

"That's a good boy." Brent said taking out a handkerchief. Nick eyed him, wondering what Brent was up to.

"I'm afraid we will need to blindfold you. We wouldn't want you to see where you are going. That would ruin the surprise." Brent said as he moved in closer to Nick.

He held the handkerchief out to the man on Nick's left, and gave instructions.

"Put this on him after you have him in the Expedition. When you get to the location leave him blindfolded. Make sure that he's secure and he's to have two guards at all times. Do I make myself clear?" Brent said firmly.

"Yes sir." They replied in unison.

They turned around and headed for the Expedition with Nick in tow. They opened the back door and helped Nick up since his hands were tied. One of the men got in after him. He pulled Nick closer to him and tied the blindfold around Nick's head. Nick was then forced down to the floor. Where he sat tied up, gagged and blindfolded.

'This couldn't get any worse.' he thought to himself.

Ta Da that's chapter 6. I hoped you enjoyed it. Please review, review, and review. Thanks! See ya next chapter.
