"I wouldn't scream if I were you..." She tried screaming again but he just covered her mouth with his hand and pushed harder down so no one could hear her. The door was still open and Adam couldn't get to it in time without having her get up. "I told you ... don't scream." It wasn't enough for Erin. She started kicking and screaming again. Adam was getting impatient. He took out his small pocket knife and held it infront of her face. Her eyes grew wide and she started screaming louder.

Catherine had called one of the camps Sara mentioned and enrolled Lindsey in it. Lindsey would be away for 5 months ... up in the moutain states. The owner of the camp told Catherine it would atleast take 2 days for the bus to get Lindsey. Catherine prayed Lindsey wouldn't do anything stupid in the next 2 days. Back at the lab, things weren't getting any easier on finding Erin. Nick and Sara were having the cashier interviewed ... they were having the store processed, and the blood they found in the parking lot sent to Greg.
Lindsey was released from the hospital. The first day that Catherine and Lindsey had to wait, Lindsey was laid back. She didn't try to sneak out ... she didn't try to smoke or drink. She laid there in her room, all day; listening to the radio. Catherine thought that maybe this camp was a bad idea. Maybe Lindsey was changing. That night ... Lindsey had went to sleep early. Catherine stayed up almost night; making sure Lindsey didn't try and leave. When 5 AM hit ... Catherine decided Lindsey wasn't going anywheres. Catherine went to sleep herself and woke up about 10 in the morning. The minute she realized she was awake, she threw the covers off of her and ran to Lindsey's room. She peeked in the door and sighed as she saw Lindsey was still sleeping.
Catherine walked down the stairs and went to grab the phone. Lindsey's eyes flew wide open. She was up almost all night; waiting for Catherine to fall asleep. Lindsey had no idea that she would be going to a correction camp. She didn't know any of this was happening. She threw the covers off, grabbed her bag, and climbed out of the window. She was already dressed and was ready to leave.
"Lindsey ... you wanna go to the lab with ..." Catherine had walked up the stairs and into Lindsey's room. She stopped dead in her tracks when Lindsey wasn't there. She ran to the phone and called Gil.
"Gil! SHE'S GONE!"
"Again!" Catherine couldn't say anything. She just held the phone to her ear and sighed. "I'm coming over ... I'm bringing Jim and the rest ... we're going find her..."
"Okay..." Catherine shut her phone and waited nervously for Gil and the team to get there. In a matter of minutes, Gil and Catherine were in the front seats of the Denali with Sara, Nick, Warrick, Greg, Jim, and half of the Las Vegas Police Department behind them.
"Catherine ... think. Where could she be?" Catherine closed her eyes and thought back to when Lindsey didn't act like this. An idea suddenly popped into her head. When Lindsey was little, Catherine would take Lindsey to the park on her days off. She even remebered when Lindsey begged her to get a scooter, like a little girl who had died in one of Catherine's cases.
"The park..."
"What?"
"The park. Go to the park. That's where she is." They pulled into the park. Catherine could see Lindsey sitting on the same bench as they did a few years ago. She was smoking ... and coughing. Catherine jumped out of the Denali with Gil right behind her and ran to the bench.
"Lindsey..." Lindsey turned her head and sighed. She didn't know half of the police department was waiting for her, so she stood up and threw her ciggerette.
"Okay. You found me! For the fucking 100th time! What do you WANT from me!"
"To stop this..."
"It's not as easy at it looks..." Lindsey went to talk away, but police officers that were standing by, ran to Lindsey and grabbed her.
"WHAT THE HELL!"
"Lindsey..."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING! LET ME GO!"
"I'm sorry..." Catherine put her hand to her mouth and started crying as the LVPD restrained her daughter in hand cuffs.
-------------------
Erin started crying as Adam shut the door and quickly locked it. She tried to get off of the couch but she didn't have enough strength. He made his way to Erin again and held out the knife. Once again, the kicking and screaming started. He lowered the knife to her face and the tears started falling.
"Now, now Erin ... you know I wouldn't hurt you..." He brought his hand to her tigh and lowered the blade to her skin. "...much." She cried and screamed as she felt the blood run down the side of her leg.
------------------
The police officer that had a hold on Lindsey put her in the back of his car and locked the doors. Lindsey kicked and screamed as she heard the door lock. Catherine went to walk to the window but Lindsey screamed.
"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!"
"Lindsey..." Catherine couldn't control her tears. Gil saw what was happening and walked up behind her.
"NO! OH MY GOD! GET AWAY. I hate you... I can't believe you did this to me..." Lindsey was out of breath and started crying. Catherine turned and ran into Gil's arms as Lindsey was taken away to the camp. Sara, Greg, Warrick, and Nick came running from the crowd of people and the first thing they saw was Catherine in Gil's arms. Sara was a little ticked ... but she understood. Lindsey was just put in a cop car ... at the age of 14. Nick, Greg, and Warrick stood there with their heads hung. No one knew what to say or what to do.
-----------------
Adam dropped the knife as Erin used her other leg to kick him. He was mad now.
"Now Erin ... you shouldn't of done that..." She screamed and kicked and tried to get him off of her, but nothing helped. She laid there and tried to act like she was passed out or even dead ... anything to get him off of her. Instead, she felt his hand travel to the button of her skirt. She froze beneath him and silently started crying. She knew what he was going to do. She regretted not listening to Lindsey. Everything that happened to her in her life flashed before her eyes. She remebered when she was younger, her parents would warn her about these kind of things. Now ... they were going to actually happen.
----------------
Greg, Nick, Sara, and Warrick went back to work; trying to find Erin. They went back to the gas station and talked to the cashier themselves.
"Miss ... did you see ... a girl and a man walk into this store about ... 3 in the morning?"
"Um ... yeah. I did. The girl looked a little ... scared. The man ... he looked like he was ... waiting for something."
"Can you tell us what he looked like?"
"Um ... he wore this dark jacket. It was kind of hard to see what he looked like. Um ... he had .. green eyes. Brown hair. Kinda short, kinda long. Almost like yours..." She pointed to Greg's hair and everyone looked at him.
"Thank you..." They were updated on the process of the store. There was a finger print belonging to Adam that was on the counter when he must of knocked off the stuff off of the counter. They quickly made their way back to the lab and scanned the print.
Hours later .. they not only got one match, but 5. Adam had different identies. He had different houses, different adresses, and different phone numbers for each one.
"I bet he brought Erin to one of them..." Sara said softly. They all looked up at each other, called Jim, and they were back on the road again.
"But how do we know which house to go to?" Greg said climbing in the back seat.
"We don't..." Nick said jumping in the driver's seat and taking off to the nearest house.
