Cases, Lies, and a Lead...

Greg kept walking in circles. It had been an hour since the violent meeting with Jack and his assistant. He didn't know what to do, if he went back to the lab, then he would put himself and more importantly his friends and his sister in danger. He was getting more and more frustrated by the minute. He stopped and was now back at the same park wher the meeting happened. He looked around and found no trace of his car.

" The bastard must of took it." He thought angrily to himself. He looked around where his SUV was parked and saw tire treads and a piece of paper right between them. He picked up the paper and unfolded it to reveal two words,

"GO HOME!"

It must a hint from Jack, but that is starnge, why would Jack help him? He was sure Jack wanted his sister dead and him also if he had the oppurtunity. He went on the only lead he had. He breathed a slow deep breath and headed to the direction of his house.

At the Crime Lab

" Any luck on theAPB Nick?" Grissom asked.

" Nada, not even a close one, some many people drive them in this town."

" Well, keep going, I am going to check on Sara's case and let me know when Greg is here."

" I will,"

" He was supposed to back well over and hour ago.I wonder what is keeping him?"

" Who knows." Nick said and went back to work.

" Sara?" Grissom said as he walked in.

" Grissom, hi! How are you?"

" Fine , can't complain, how is the case?"

" Okay, I fed the black hair Greg found through CODIS and is still searching. She looks like a college kid and looked healthy before she got into this mess."

" Well, let me know about CODIS and page me if you find anything else."

" You got it!"

Grissom nodded and made his way back to his office. He sat down and looked at the schedule in front of him. Since Catherine left for vacation things have been busy around here. Right before he checked on Nick's case he went to check on a page he got from Warrick moments earlier. Warrick told Grissom, Ratskin was part of this mob that got together and placed reasonable bets. Based on what happened to Ratskin his luck must have ran out. Someone that was part of the mob that was competing with Ratskin's mob must've poisoned him and thought the mob would break apart. One thing is for sure, they had to find this guy before he kills off the rest of the mob and gets his reward money.

Greg opened his door to find the house completly dark , except fo the droplets of light coming in from the closed blinds. He looked for the lightswithced and switched it up and to his suprise he saw Jack.

" How was the first hour? Brutal?"

" How did you get here?"

" My truck, it is in the back I didn't want your neighbor's to be suspicious."

" What do you wnat?"

' Well, I thought it over and I figured well , 10 hours is pretty long of a time to find one person..."

" What? Are you gonna kill her now?"

" No, of course not, I thought I would spare you the theatrics of running around Las Vegas the whole day and give you a fresh oppurtunity. "

Jack looked up at the clock.

" Hmmm.." He said amusingly. " I thought your CSI friends would be worried sick about you now, it's almost been two hours since you left."

" Well, it looks like I don't have a choice going back there do I?"

He laughed, " Smart Gregory, but here listen, I am going to tell you where your sister is and I will give you half the time to find her."

" Five Hours?"

" Actually four hours,since you did waste an hour getting back to the park to find my little note."

Greg was fuming.

" Alright enough chit-chat Your sister is held in a old house on Lexington.

" Lexington? That's on the outside of town! You said she was in the city!"

" So what? I lied. I did that to confuse you and to make sure you double back to the park.

Greg lunged toward Jack just to be caught faced to face with a barrel of a gun.

" Gregory, I suggest you move away slowly."

He gasped and moved backward.

"Now then."

As if nothing as happened.

" Since you don't have a car, I suggest you get moving and ther will be a nice suprise for you when you arrive."

" What?"

" You'll see." He laughed and as he left he said,

" Be sure to make it or she won't."

The back door slammed shut and Gre g fell to his knees. he couldn't make it to Lexington in four hours. it took two good hours to get there without traffic. He coldn't get help and with no car he was stuck. He then opend his eyes, whta weas he doing ? He had to get there no matter what. He could make it. he had to save his litlle sister. He grabbed his gubn from his side drawer in his living room. He went outside and North to Lexington determined as ever.

" Hey I got a hit!

Nick said so loud that Archie ran in.

" What's up? You found a match?"

" Yeah, look there it is! Our Ford F-150 four door registered to a Tobey Everett.

" Tobey Everett?"

Nick shook his head and checked the database. He ran the name ' Tobey Everett' in the search engine.

" Damn! No priors and not even a damn parking ticket!"

" Is there an address."

He ran and ended up with the word "FILE NOT FOUND:ERROR!"

" What does that mean?"

" I don't know. His file might not be registered with the department."

Nick sighed heavy and grunted inpatiently.

" Unless we get an address this guy is on the loose!"
