A.N. – Hey like I promised here is chapter 5. I re-posted this chapter because I notice I left an important part out when I posted it a week ago. So I may have changed a line or two and corrected some errors. I want to get something clear. When I use 'He' like that, I'm referring to the kidnaper not Nick or anyone else. I needed to point that out or you were going to get confused, probably. Well in this chapter new characters are going to appear to help this story to develop. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own Julius, Marcus, and Seamus and Marcus little son who will appear in the next chapter.

Chapter V: CSI for… Enemies and Allies


Las Vegas Crime Lab

"Sara I want you to write a list of possible suspects… so we can start from there… " Grissom had not let her explained anything related to hers and Nick's relationship, not because he was angry… but because, he didn't want to expose more of her private life in front of her co-workers… Yeah right, he was angry; he was fuming about the new found relationship. Well he knew she was in a long term relationship with 'Rob', but 'Rob' turn out to be Nick and that was unexpected. Maybe the fact that they not only fooled everyone else but him too, was the reason he was so infuriated, so pissed.

"That's going to take me forever… haven't notice in the past five years… almost six that I have been here… I'm Not a People Person, Grissom…!" she yelled the last part he had been acting like a prick, since he had read the paper.

"I don't care! Just do it…" he snapped back with a stern look, which didn't seem to affect Sara at all.

"Asshole…" Sara whispered under her breath, loud enough for Catherine, Warrick, Sophia, Greg and even Grissom to hear it.

"What did you said…?" Grissom pushed her. Everyone knew what was coming. That's why Catherine was ready to intercept.

"I said you are acting like an…" but she didn't have time to finish, Catherine had stopped her.

"Sara! Come with me… Now!" Catherine made her point clear. Those two were worst than oil and water, at this moment. She stood up from the chair she was seated on and walk to the door, were she waited for Sara to join her. She raised an eyebrow when she notice Sara was not moving at all.

"Fine! I'm coming…" Sara burst from her chair and walk past Catherine.

"Right after you, I don't mind manners…" Catherine said thinking out loud. She wasn't going to push Sara's buttons, but they were pushed already… Maybe after all she was going to need a little help. "Sofia do you mind joining us…?" She knew thing between her and Sofia weren't exactly alright, but Sofia had more patience to deal with Sara.

Sofia looked at Catherine like she had a third nipple. She was about to say something but didn't have a chance.

"…Is for Sara" Catherine informed her.

"If is for her, I'll do it… but, if is for… you know what… don't fucking think about it!" She wanted to make sure Catherine didn't even think about touching the subject referring to Greg's and hers little incident in the Break Room.

"Okay, crystal clear…" Catherine needed her right now, well Sara needed her… and about the 'you know what', like hell she had something to say, especially when she tells Sara about it.

Sofia stood up and walked out, trying to guess in what direction Sara went. Flash, Quicksilver and little Dash were slowpokes compare to Sara when she was pissed, determined, and with her stubbornness set on drive. This was going to be a long chit-chat.


On the Road

The white New Honda Ridgeline pick-up truck only left clouds of dust behind it. It was going so fast that the driver could feel how his 'cargo' on the back moved from side to side ratter hard at times, especially under the conditions of the dirty desert road.

On the back of the truck Nick tried as hard as he could to kick the pick up door open. Earlier he could only see a little dent on it. It appeared it had been made by a crash. Nick used this as advantage and started to kick it. A couple kicks later, in what he though had been just a couple of minutes that had been really and hour and fifteen, he had the door loosen. He knew that at anytime he could open it… but his legs felt so sore… numb in some areas… he wasn't sure he could do it, but Sara's voice, his love for her and the though of their little family together kept him going. And successfully he accomplished his mission, the door was now open.

They were no longer on a dirty road. They seemed to be on a neighborhood a really expensive one, from the looks of it houses. He was looking for the right moment to roll of the truck without been seen. A curve or a turn was the best he could hope for. And he got it. But when he was about to the driver hit the brakes, making his momentum stop. 'Had he noticed I opened the door?' If 'He' had things could get nasty, at least for him. His arms tied to his back and his pretty beat up shape, wasn't going to get him anywhere, not even close to block some hits. But then Nick heard a honk and some shouting about almost causing a crash by their ruthless behavior, at what he can says were teenagers or young people, because he could hear loud rock music playing.

"What do you morons think your doing!" the pick up driver yelled at the driver of the black Volkswagen Jetta that had intersect his way. "Don't you know what a stop sign is for…? To STOP!" 'He' yelled one more at the young man driving and his two friends. They couldn't be more than 20.

"Sorry Sir… this is not a busy neighborhood, not a lot of car travel through here… only the one people that live here…" the young driver ramble while the others laughed at him.

"Just shut up, I don't care what you say… just move out of my way… Now!" the man shouted once more at the young driver.

"Right away Sir…" the young man moved the car. When he entered the street, he looked at the driver of the pick up and mouthed a 'Sorry'. The man looked nervous about something and that made him stop, for some unknown reason he didn't trusted that man and he wanted to make sure he was out of his neighborhood.

"Julius man, why are you stopping…" the guy in the passenger seat ask, worried because the man was creepy for sure.

"I don't like him… Marcus" Julius said as he griped the steering wheel harder.

"I say we follow him to make sure his out of here… I don't like a man like that around here… there a lot of young kids and elderly people living in here…" the one in the back seat said.

"Shut up Seamus. Don't be on Julius side… I smell trouble lets get out of here…" Marcus had always been the scare cat of the three brothers, he wasn't curious like his little brother Seamus or brave like his older one Julius. He just liked to be out of harms way.

Nick took the unexpected stop as his chances and roll out, falling hard on the concrete. "…Ahh… shit…" there was not a single cut, injury, and muscle in his body that didn't hurt at this moment. He was in pain but he needed to put him self out of harms way. He rolled under the truck, not to deep, almost parallel with the back tires of the truck. That only took him thirty seconds tops, it needed to be done that fast he didn't knew how much longer 'He' was going to stand there arguing with the kids.

"Is there a problem that you needed to stop?" The pick up driver was about to leave when 'He' notice they had stopped and asked the young man the reason for it.

"No…" the Julius said.

"No? Then why are you stopping…" 'He' asked worried. 'He' thought had blown it in some way. Maybe 'He' had blood somewhere on the car, or on him.

"…Umm… I mean… Yes. You see I'm a little shaken after I almost crashed… so I needed to stop for a while… until my legs calm down a bit…" Julius got that one out of the hat, and it looked like the man bought it.

"Clever idea, you're a menace to the community…" 'He' laughed at the young man and wave off.

As a signal the truck started to move again. Nick prayed 'He' didn't turn right, if 'He' did it was going to leave him expose lying on the road, there was nothing that could cover him. On the other hand, if the 'He' turned left, Nick could use the car driven by the young man, as a shield. So he prayed.

And it paid off. 'He' had turned left. 'Thank God' Nick thought. He looked at the car were the occupants seemed to be fighting about something and had not notice him laying there. He tried to yell at them, but found himself unable to. His throat felt like it had a Boa Constrictor around it. The more he tried to talk, the more it tightens, making it hard to breathe. He was sure he was going to loose consciousness soon.

Seamus look out the window were the truck had been standing moments before and notice the bag or at least that was what it looked like. "Hey guys, shut up… he's gone already, but he left something…" he said pointing at the road.

"What are you talking about…" Julius asked confused.

"What is it… I cannot see from here…" it was true, Marcus couldn't see a thing from the passenger side he could not see Nick.

"Oh my God…! There's a man on the road…" Julius exclaimed and explained. He opened his door, got out and walk to the man where he knelt bedside him. His brothers where trying to get out of the car. Marcus made his way around the car, while Seamus didn't even bother in opening his door he got out through the window.

"Mister all you alright… Mister…?" Julius asked at the same time as he poked the man.

"Hey Marcus, come here… he looks familiar" Seamus asked his brother.

"Let me see… of course he does… he is the man that moved next to us with his wife… Mr. Stokes" Marcus knew the man to well.

"Oh yeah the cop…" Seamus remembered.

"He's not a cop, he's a Crime Scene Investigator…" Marcus corrected his little brother.

"Could you two stop it, and help me to get him to the car… he needs medical attention real fast…" Julius ordered his brother. He knew little about first aids but this man did look to good. He looked like a piece of meat that had been chew then spit out.

Nick opened his eyes and focused them. Big houses, big main front doors entrance, even bigger lawns and driveways, that was what he seen when he opened them. This place reminded him of the neighborhood he and Sara had bought their new home, it seemed strangely familiar. He become aware that he was on a moving car again and he though he had failed. He focused his eyes again and notice one man driving, another bedside the driver and one looking at him with wide eyes at his side. They were not 'Him', so it meant they were help… the help he needed.

"Where are we… I… know this… place…" it took him some time but he was able to speak.

"Want some water…" Marcus asked, Nick nodded. "Mister Stokes… this is 'Sherwood Forest'… you live here, don't you remember…?" asked Marcus. Nick drink the water that taste like heaven and it seemed to help his throat.

"Ohh yeah… I do… know… sorry I'm a little… disoriented… you're Marcus, right?" Nick asked receiving a nod from the young man. He remembered the area he lived there since two months when he moved in with Sara. It seemed like the perfect place to start a family.

"Disoriented… no kidding, you have a huge gash on your forehead… the least your going to be is disoriented…" Seamus joked. He remembered Mr. Stokes thou he hadn't talk to him that much.

"Seamus, be serious" Julius warned. "…um Mr. Stokes, where's your wife…?" Julius asked worried that man had her.

'Oh God Sara' he had forgot, these kids were probably going to take him to the hospital. "She's at work… I think… Could you guys take me there… to make sure she's right…" Nick was worried, as soon as 'He' noticed that he was gone, 'He' was going to go after her.

"Man, I don't think that's a good idea… your pretty beat up… you should see a doctor first…" Julius said

"He's going to go after her… and she's pregnant… I don't want them to get harmed…"

"Got it man... move it Julius, they need him…" Marcus might be 21 years old but he was more mature than his brothers. The circumstances of life had made him experience fatherhood earlier. He was raising his two year old boy alone; his wife had died in labor.

Julius asked where she work, Nick told him she worked in the same place he did 'The Las Vegas Crime Lab'. Then Seamus made a joke about Nick dating a co-worker and the places they could use to get 'some' to make it more exciting without getting caught at work. Nick smiled briefly, even to smile hurt. Seamus noticed this and remained silence for the rest of the ride for their own sakes.


Back on the Road

'He' had been driving for half an hour into the woods when he finally arrived to the spot he was looking for. 'He' turned off the engine and proceeded to get out of the car. When he was rounding the pick-up he noticed the back door was down, open.

"Fuck!" 'He' yelled realizing somewhere he had screwed up. 'He' searched franticly the back of the truck for his cargo and found none.

"Fuck… fuck… fuck!" 'He' kept yelling in frustration.

"You think you're clever, but you won get to far…" 'He' jumped on the driver side, shut his door, started the engine and droved out of the woods like there was a fire nearby.

"I'm gonna getcha… I'm gonna getcha…" 'He' said laughing like a maniac.


Las Vegas Crime Lab – Roof Top

Sara was lean over the edge of the roof looking at the view, not a scenic one but she wasn't going to complain. She came here because she needed some air and this area was the best one to do so. She hadn't notice she wasn't alone anymore, Catherine and Sofia where there too.

"Hey, you better not jump off… I don't want to process a scene today, less if is yours…" Sofia joked carefully. She wanted to change the mood a bit, not get it worse.

"Don't worry I may be a stubborn bitch, but I'm not suicidal material" Sara joked back. While Sofia let go of a breath, she didn't even knew she had hold.

"Sara you better get that list ready or Grissom is gonna whip your ass…" Catherine saw the effect Sofia's joke had tried one of her own.

"Cath, fuck off!" Sara didn't think twice to respond. If Catherine wasn't in the same mood as Grissom, she could just get lost.

"Hey back off, I was just kidding…" Catherine was taken back by Sara's reaction. "How come you can joke and I can't" she asked Sofia. Who seemed like she didn't care to answer that question any time soon. 'She probably still mad at me' Cath thought.

"Sorry, is probably the hormones…" Sara smiled. The saddest smile either Sofia or Catherine had seen on her. There was a long silence after that, until Catherine finally spoke.

"So how far long are you…" Catherine asked Sara carefully enough not wanting to get snap at again.

Sara noticed a black Jetta entering the Crime Lab Parking Lot in a hurry. But she thought it was someone that was late for they shift. Thou it looked familiar.

"Ten weeks. Two and a half months…" she smile when she though of the baby growing inside of her. Nick's and hers and maybe Nick wasn't going to be as fortunate as her to see it growing. That scared her… She wasn't ready to raise a kid on her own… She needed Nick by her side, always by her side. 'He better come home safe or I'll kick his ass' she though as tears began to fall from her eyes.

Sofia and Cath exchange worried glances moved closer to Sara and developed her in a huge.

"I'm not ready to have a baby on my own…" Sara said in between sobs.

"Hey what have I told you… He's going to come back okay… He will never leave you two alone, never…" Sofia whispered to her friend reassuring her and looked unsure at Catherine.

"This is Nick we're talking about. He will come through the door at any minute…" Catherine almost believed herself, but she knew he could be dead by now. They haven't received a ransom call or anything related that made them believe the kidnaper needed him alive.

'Sara!'

Okay now she was loosing the little sanity she had left. She could swear she had heard Nick voice.

"Now I'm going crazy… I hear him…" she said laughing a bit.

'Sara!'

'Miss Sidle!'

'What the hell' Catherine heard something too and by the look in Sofia's face she did as well.

"Okay we're now officially insane…" Sofia joke it was probably someone checking on them.

"Miss Sidle!"

This time it was louder, but Sara was positive it wasn't Nick voice. She looked down at the parking lot and noticed a familiar young man… 'Marcus, what he's doing here?'

"Miss Sidle… over here!" Marcus yelled again.

"Marcus what are you doing…?" Sara asked confused yelling back at him from the roof top. He was waving at her like crazy and had something that looked like blood on him, at least that's what she could guess it was.

"Who's that kid, a possible suspect?" Sofia asked.

"No… he's my neighbor, Macus…" Sara replied.

"Well he sure has blood on him…" Catherine pointed out.

"He's coming in…" he yelled back at her.

"Who? …What are you talking about, Marc?" if she was confused before she was beyond it, now.

"Nick… he's coming in… he's alive… he is… Hey, hey let me go… get off me…" Marcus was struggling with two cops that were trying to handcuff him.

"Hey let him go…" Sara yelled trying to stop the cops but it was useless… "Damn it" she run to the roof door that lead to the Crime Lab and down the stairs. With Sofia and Catherine close by worried about the way she run to get down.
