Prologue:

He looked up at him.

" I'll call you from the car."

Greg left his office and went down the hallway towards the exit.

" Greg? Greg! Where are you going?"

Nick was confused and frantic.

" I'm getting my littler sister back."

He said to himself.

He was going to get her back know matter what. He knew what he had to do...

The Meeting

Greg was staring through his car windshield. He wasn't really looking at anything, but he was thinking. Thinking about looking face to face of the sick man that he's been looking for ten years. He thought for a moment and thenpicked up his cell phone. He remembered he had to call Nick. If he didn't then Nick would want some questions answered and he didn't want him to be involved. He might get hurt. He dialed Nick's number on his phone and waited as it was ringing.

At the lab, Nick was wondering why Greg just left like that, but he had a case to work on and Greg said he would call.

" Probably gone on break or it might be a personal emergency."

He shook it off and went back to work. Immediatly his rang. It had the song, " Christmas in Las Vegas."

That was Nick's favorite song. Nick answered his phone.

" Stokes."

" Hey Nick."

" Greg! Where are you? Are you okay?"

" Yeah, just a little tired, you know since I was supposed to be off almost five hours ago."

" Are you on a break or something?"

Greg thought. " break? No, too risky." He then thought of some other cover up.

" No, Nick I have personal thing to attend to that I forgot.

Don't worry, it's no big. Tell Grissom I 'll be back in an hour. "

" Greg.."

" Please Nick, I need to take care of this."

" Alright, if you say so. All I am saying is we need to get this case rolling."

" Just find some more leads and if you really need help, call."

"Alright, see you in a hour."

" Bye, Nick."

With that, he hung up his phone. As the light turned green he looked at his watch, it was 12:56pm. As he was getting closer to the place his stomach tightened a little more.

Nick was looking for anything at all on Melanie Dillion. On her record, she had no prior arrests, one minor traffic infraction, and no MVAs. Basically, she was a normal college girl. One thing didn't add up, why was she in an abondened dumpster in the middle of the city, not even close to the college? Also, who was T.E? He deceided to get a trace on the paper and CODIS was seaching now for at least and hour. He hoped that there is at least one valuable print on there to go by. If not, well, Nick just didn't want to got there.

" Nick!"

" Yeah Grissom?"

" How's the case?"

" Not exactly a picnic considering nothing adds up and there is barely anything to go by."

" Well, keep trying, there is bound to be something. What about the tire treads?"

" I sent out an APB for a Ford F-150, black,four door . It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

" Have you found the murder weapon?"

" No, that's the thing, we don't know what the weapon looks like. It very unconventional."

" We? Who is working on this case with you?"

" Greg."

" Where is he?"

" He went to take care of something, he said he'd be back in a hour."

" Alright, even though he is out , keep him updated. He neer skips a beat that boy."

" No kidding!" Nick smiled as Grissiom walked away.

He shook his head and kept staring at the CODIS computer.

" Please, little paper, give me something."

He thought and leaned back in his chair.

Greg parked his car in the availble slot and got out of his car. He walked past the street sign which read, 6th and Cass. He turned the corner and looked to see a park. The park had a playground and straight back, there was a fountain somewhat concealed by trees.

"Oh my God!"

He whispered. He stood there for a few moments then slowly, but steadily made his way across the street. He stepped onto the path and walked until he barely saw a figure by the fountain. As he made his way around the playground toward the fountain, he looked to his right and saw little kids playing on the jungle gym, swinging on the swings and twirling themselves on the merry-go-round.

" He wants me to relive it."

He thought as he now was surrounded by trees. He walked closer to the fountain. He looked around, no one else was there. He still saw the children, but the trees made them hard to see. He stepped onto the tile ground that circled the fountain. HE was right there. He was standing there, hooded by a long jacket, black gloves and had black pants and shoes. Greg drew up his strength and stepped forward towards his enemy. He came as close as 20 feet between them. He stopped and waited for the assailant to move.

" Mr. Sanders." The hooded man said.

" Yes. I'm here, where is she?"

" Now, now Gregory, you should be careful what you ask. I know you want answers, but you'll have to be patient."

" Patient? I've been patient for ten years and now you show up and you won't divulge anything to me!"

" When the time comes. You will know everything, but for now I am going to have a little fun."

" What are you talking about? Who are you?"

" if you are dying to know my name is " Jack."

" Jack?"

" Yes, that is the only question I will answer for you. You have to ask yourself one question."

" What?

" Do you have faith?"

" What is that got to do with anything?"

He laughs to himself.

" You ask too many questions Greg. "

Suddenly another figure came up behind him and whacked him on the side of thehead with a bat. Greg fell to the ground and lost consiousness.

When he came to , he couldn't see, couldn't move his arms or legs. He felt he was in a car.

" ooooh!"

He groaned. He felt blood running down the side of his face.

" Awake, Gregory? Glad you could join us."

" Where am I?"

" Too many questions Greg. You're a CSI, figure it out."

" We're in a vehicle, still in city limits, and I am tied and blindfolded."

" There you go."

After what seemed like forever, the vehicle came to a stop. Jack got out and went to Greg's side. He opened the door and bent down toward him.

" Alright! untie him and take off the blindfold."

He said to the other man.

He bent down and untied him and took off the blindfold.

Greg looked down and then looked up and saw the face of Jack.

" How are we doing today?"

" Besides the bash to the head, I feel great."

Greg commeted sarcastically.

Jack smiled and grabbed the back of his head.

" I don't need a fucking smart ass, now if you don't cooperate I will have to kill you and that bitch sister of yours you got me? Got me!"

" Yeah."

Greg managed to get out when Jack pulled on his head it hurt like hell. When he released him he had to put his head down due to the intensity of the pain.

" Okay, listen it is quarter till 2:00 and you don't have much time so I suggest you listen. You have until midnight to find your sister and if you don't or send any cops or CSI's with you, I will personally see it that you and your sister get mutilated beyond all recognition. All I will say is that she ishere in Las Vegas and you have to do the rest and one more thing."

He pulled from his pocket a ribbon and tossed it to him. Greg picked it up and looked at it. It was from the day she disappeared.

" Alright, you have ten hours I suggest you get going."

He motioned to the other man and he took a hold of Greg and threw him out of the vehicle.

Greg hit the pavement and groaned as Jack and his assisstant got in the black truck and sped away...
