Catherine was sat on the floor when Warrick pulled up running from his car still getting dressed. He looked far from his usual calm self.

"What's happened" he shouted having heard something had happened to Sara that was the last information he had got and form the fact Cath was white a sheet sat on the floor it wasn't good. He looked at Grissom who simply stood staring at her car as if he could se her there, Warrick noticed his eyes were red and he looked to be fighting back tears.

"It's happening again," said Nick quietly "someone's taken Sara"

Warrick looked there on the car was her vest and camera he knew exactly what it looked like.

Surprisingly Greg was the calmest of the group. "So it's a copy cat," he said as Grissom turned to him. "I mean it was all over the news wouldn't be hard to get details, makes it harder for us to find them I mean the only thing that's different is their motive if they use the same technique then there's not going to be much new evidence"

Grissom looked at Greg in a way he never had before he looked proud.

"Sara taught me that" he said half smiling as Grissom nodded smiling back.

"Ok we need to process every inch of this scene. Brass get onto highway protrol round here see if they've seen anything and a want a statement of that officer"

"Sure" replied Brass who had come with Catherine when he heard what happened "you want me to get the traffic camera form the adjoining roads, not much traffic they may have picked something up," he said as Grissom nodded.

"I'll take the car with Greg" said Catherine walking over.

"Are you sure your up to it"? Asked Grissom

"It's Sara I'm up to it," replied Catherine patting his shoulder "we'll find her Gil" she said looking into his eyes he had to turn away to wipe away the single tear that fell down his face.

Now was not the time to start showing emotion Sara needed him. It suddenly occurred to him how ironic it was and he smiled, Sara had been waiting years to have him show some emotion towards her and now he was he wasn't here to see. He'd never realised how much it would hurt not to have her around he mostly taken it for granted that she'd still be there when as Catherine put it he got his head out the microscope. Well it was certainly out of it now all he could picture was Sara's smile when he asked her to breakfast. He'd asked both her and Greg but Greg was busy and when she found it was just the two of them her smile had beamed the entire time. He wanted to see her smile like that again and he wanted to be the one to make her.

Catherine was finding at hard processing the car, not because she couldn't find anything but because everything reminded her of Sara and she could see form the look in Greg's eyes he was having the same trouble.

"How many mints does she need?" he questioned trying to break the air as he pulled her glove compartment open only for several pacts of mints and latex gloves to fall out.

"Decomp's best way to get the taste out your mouth" smiled Cath "as for the gloves I imagine Sara wears them for fun, keeps the germs away. Maybe that's why she doesn't get sick" she suggested while spraying the drivers seat with lumenal.

"Well there's no blood, that's good," shouted Catherine

"But someone's still got her. I mean I didn't………he probably used chloroform" said Nick while taking pictures of Sara's footprints on the floor.

"They stop" he called form quite near the tree.

"Well from here you can tell that's not a fresh body," said Warrick looking up "she probably realised that something wasn't right"

"I've got another set of prints," said Nick taking pictures.

"Well these are different and deeper than the rest and smudged maybe knocked her out they got smudged as he lifted her up," said Warrick as Nick took pictures. "Second sets about a size ten, no distinctive patterns"

"Grissom" came the assistant coroner's voice as he approached he brought a ladder and gurney with him which the body was placed on once it was cut down.

"Thank you" said Grissom as they body was taken away.

"Well there was no impression's on the ground form ladders which makes me wonder who he got up there" said Nick taking pictures of the rope.

"Looks clear," said Grissom bending down. "Been rubbed out probably with his feet there's displaced dirt in patches probably couldn't remove his footprints the same once he had ..Sara….he wouldn't' be able to tell when she would wake up" he said starring at the ground.

"Greg check the tree," instructed Grissom. Greg passed the rope down to Catherine who put it in an evidence bag.

"White, look's like the type you use to tie up your boat" said Catherine looking at the rope.

"With lake mead there's a load of shops that sell that stuff.

"As untraceable as a white fibre, nothing unless you have the same piece to match it too" said Grissom as Nick finished taking photos and Greg climbed down from the ladder the coroner had left.

"Lets get back, maybe we can find something to go on," said Grissom as they trudged slowly back to their cars.
