"What took you so damn long?" Lindsey said slamming the door and looking back at Shani, who had about 2 cases of Smirnoff on the side of her.
"Ms. Sober back there just had to stop and get some Smirnoff..."
"You're impossible..." Lindsey looked back and took the empty bottles out of Shani's hand and threw them out the window. Erin backed up the car and started heading for the strip.
"So where we goin' tonight, girls!" Erin lowered the radio and looked back at her friends.
"Just turn up the damn radio and drive!" Erin rolled her eyes and looked at Lindsey.
"I don't care ... anywheres..."
Catherine and Gil walked into the lab and headed for Gil's office. Greg, Nick, Sara, and Warrick all came running from the break room to see Catheirne.
"Where's Lindsey?" Sara said slowly. Catherine sighed, looked down, then looked back up.
"She's gone..."
"WHAT!" Greg dropped his case folder and his eyes widdened.
"But ... how?" Nick said softly.
"I ... Gil called me ... about that Adam guy ... he warned me that he was somewheres in the area... so I went to go get Lindsey and leave ... just in case ... I went to go get her out of her room ... and she was gone..." Catherine said sadly. Everyone was silent. No one moved. Warrick shook his head and started walking back to the break room. There had to be something they could do to get Lindsey back. Nick and Sara went their seperate ways to gather more information on Adam. Greg just stood there ... stunned. His little sister was gone ... and he had no idea where she was.
Lindsey kept looking into the mirror to make sure no one was following them. Erin noticed she was tense.
"Linds?"
"He's following us..."
"Who?"
"That man ... in the black truck."
"Lindsey ... you're freaking out..."
"No! I mean it! He's been following us for the past 10 minutes!"
"Chill the fuck out! This is the strip ... people get jammed in here sometimes ..."
"Yeah well ... pull into that gas station and watch when he follows us..."
"Yeah. I need some more Smirnoff anyways..." Shani said throwing out her last emtpy bottle.
"I think you've had enough already..."
"Oh shut the hell up and go get me some more..."
"I don't know who the hell you think you're talking to but ... I'm not paying for it ... so hand over the money ..."
"Oh alright. Damn." Shani reached in her pocket and handed Erin a 10 dollar bill. Erin pulled into a close gas station and parked the car infront of the doors. The black truck followed them and parked right on the side of them.
"Linds ... you want anything?"
"You're not going in that store, are you?"
"Well ... yeah..."
"Hurry your ass up!" Shani said calling from the back seat.
"Shut the hell up, would you?" Lindsey said yelling back at Shani. Shani looked out the window and crossed her arms. "You can't go in that store ... he's here."
"Lindsey ... you're freaking out ... I'm going in ... coming out ... and I'll be fine, okay?" Erin opened the door, but it was too late for Lindsey to convence her to stay. Lindsey quickly rolled up all the windows and locked the doors as Erin entered the store. A few seconds later, the man in the black truck had gotten out and walked inside the store, too. Lindsey held her breath and watched Erin's every move.
Erin walked to the back of the store, where they kept the beer and looked for the kind of drink they all liked. She opened the door when she spotted the case and noticed a man standing behind her in the reflection of the glass. She pretended she didn't see anyone and walked straight on ... turning down a different isle. The man browsed through the isles before going to follow Erin to the front of the store. Erin was wearing a short skirt ... a black shirt, and her hair was in pickie tails. She had blonde hair with blue and black highlights here and there. Chains hanging from her skirt and black skateboarding shoes on her feet.
Warrick ran to Gil's office. He found Catherine sitting on his couch, un-able to move or speak. Gil was sitting at his desk, trying to read up on this Adam guy.
"You guys ... we got a hit. Mr. Adam ... charged with rape and first-degree murder. He follows people around in his truck ... and when he see's someone he's likes, he goes after them." Gil turned to Catherine and saw she was crying. He got up and kneeled infront of her.
"Catherine ... I need you to tell me when's the last time you saw Lindsey... what was she doing, who was she with, all that.." Catherine managed to nodd her head and looked up.
"I ... we had just gotten home ... you called me and told me about Adam ... I set my gun and went to get dressed ... I heard something out my window ...that's when I got scared and called you back. Lindsey had went to take a shower ... I went to sleep. Then ... the next thing I know, you're calling me back and telling me he's somewheres around my house and Lindsey's not there..."
"Who ... who was she with before you took her home?"
"Um .. Erin. Erin and Shani ... I think." Gil nodded and looked at Warrick. He was already half way out the door when he got the names of the girls Lindsey was with before all of this happened.
"Don't worry, Cath ... she's fine. We'll find her." Gil calmed her down and rubbed her back.
Erin waited nervously as the cahsier rang up the beer. She could tell this guy was up to something ... maybe Lindsey was right. She should have listened ... she should have stayed ...
"That'll be 6.50..." Erin jumped at the voice ... and quickly handed her the 10 dollar bill.
"Keep the change..." Erin went to walk out of the door, but the man had pushed something over the counter, causing the cashier to bend down and pick it up. Lindsey was digging through the car when she dropped something on the floor of the car. She bent down to pick it up, Shani still looking out the window of the backseat.
Adam came up behind Erin ... wrapped a cloth around her mouth and dragged her out of the store. She dropped the beer. The chasier was still on the floor when she heard the beer drop.
"You okay there?" She said calling out frome behind the counter. Lindsey popped up and looked through the windows of the store ... she didn't see Erin ... or Adam. She looked to the side of her ... the truck was still there. Where was Erin? Lindsey thought about getting down and making sure Erin was still in the store ... but she decided to wait a few minutes.
Adam had forced Erin into the truck without a sound ... it was dark outside, and the color of his truck helped make his kid nap unknown. The tinted windows helped ... no one could see in them. No one knew if he was in there or not. Lindsey waited another 5 minutes and decided to get down. She went to open the door, but something caught her eye. There was a pocket knife laying on the floor of the car. She put it in her pocket and shut the door. She walked inside the store to find the case of beer everywhere ... no Adam and no Erin.
Lindsey's breathing incresed ... she turned around and looked at the black truck. She looked at the car and saw Shani was now passed out ... clinging to an empty bottle of beer. Lindsey slowly walked down the store ... making sure Erin was looking for some food ...
Adam had shoved Erin in the back seat and locked all the doors. He tied her hands together and she was soon passed out. Un-able to move or speak for herself. He climbed out of the truck again ... knowing Lindsey was in the store looking for Erin ... he went through the front of the store and stood there; watching Lindsey walk up and down the isles. Lindsey was on the last isle when she was back to the front of the store. She stood face to face with the same man who had just taken her friend.
