-1Okay I fixed chapter one hadn't realized that already met Alex, it changed now and makes more sense. Now on with chapter two.
Scott Cain sat at his cherry oak desk in his spacious office, a smile played at the corners of his mouth as he closely examined the photo's in front of him, His daughter was so grown up now, she was enfolded in the arms of her beaux Nicholas Stokes both smiling happily, the next one held just his daughter at her own antique desk writing her now, brown hair falling over her eyes, a hand reaching up to tuck it back behind her ear. He frowned at the next one, Alex and Nick were sharing what looked to be a very passionate kiss, then the next one held just Nick at his table reading from a manila folder munching Chinese, the last few made his face turn red with rage, and his eye's dance, they pictured Nick and Alex curled up in bed or on the couch sleepy or watching movies. He tossed them down in disgust and slammed the call button on his intercom.
"Get those two morons in here now." He demanded of the forty something secretary that answer the call, A few minutes later two men stumbled into the office looking scared and shaking.
"Yes boss." One, a tall, slim man, a stick figure really, his hair was a dark brown and his eyes were dull in a stupidly slow kind of way.
"I want the two of you to keep an eye one some one for me Track his every move, where he goes you go, stay on him like flies on a lifeless corpse." Scott instructed.
"You get it boss." The other one, an even taller one .well built, he stood a end taller then his slow witted partner, his dark blond hair already showing gray, replied taking the picture that Scott held out to him. It was of Nick smiling from his Truck and he waved to some one off camera.
"He works at the Las Vegas crime lab, Make sure he doesn't see you, I am not yet ready for him, just tail him no interacting got it?" He questioned the two.
"Got it boss." the two left hurriedly not wanting to provoke their boss any more then he already was.
At that moment Nick was just getting ready to go into work a little early He and Alex had slept most of the day and she was still sleeping when he woke up and came home to get ready for work so he was surprised to hear a knock at the door.
"Hey Alex I was just getting ready to go." He frowned, she stepped inside and closed the door.
"I know I wanted to see you off." She said. Nick smiled and warped her into a hug, and ten stole a kiss.
"I have to go or I'll be late, they spent a few more second together and then Nick left for the Lab, Alex went inside her house to wait for nick to come back home.
Nick sang along enthusiastically to the music on the radio and he pulled into the lab, his tail passed by and parked a way down the street to wait for any movement.
"What are we going to do now?" Gary asked.
"We wait" Don replied and settled back into the seat to do just that.
Scott sat watching the monitors but not seeing what was going on, he was to distracted by the thought of his little mermaid in the arms of that prince charming wanna be. He started formulating a plan to get that little creep away from his daughter, no body was going to touch her but him, he would see to that. First he had to find a way to get him here, drugging him seemed to be the easiest way, but getting a hold of that kind of thing would take time, and time was not something he had a lot of right now, he thought for a while longer and then a smile formed on his face.
"Alice get my old friend Markus on the line for me please." He instructed, when the hone rang he pick it up and spoke enthusiastically.
"Markus I need a favor of you." He started still grinning.
Nick entered the break room to find a very frustrated Catherine, he poured some coffee and joined her at the table. Grissom come in Warrick Sara, and Greg hot on his heels.
"Guy's we have another DB some MO as the other two you two have, were now dealing with a serial killer. We'll now be working as a group any objections?" Grissom asked, silence was his answer.
"Okay then lets get out to the crime scene evidence is getting old and the trial is getting cold." They all left together, taking two SUV's and heading south on the strip. A third SUV pulled away from the curb and followed the first two to a crime scene across town.
The scene was similar to the rest, the girl was posed with her legs straight out and her arms over her chest, he red hair flowing out from her head over the dark green grass, only one thing was different a note lay on top of the body, Grissom picked it up with already gloved hands and frowned.
"Hey Nick It's for you." He held it to the younger CSI, who opened to read what was written inside. They watched as his face went pale and his eye's went wide, without waiting he turned and ran for one of the trucks jumped in and took off in the general direction of his home. He was little more then half way there when his phone rang.
"Nick where the hall are you going!" Grissom voice demanded, nick cringed at the volume, and tone.
"I'm sorry Gris, but I have to check on Alex, if read that note then you know why." Nick replied.
"Nick, You took the note with you." Grissom pointed out Nick looked around the cab and noticed it sitting in the seat and cringed again.
"Uh Sorry I'll bag it and bring to the lab after I check on Alex." He promised and hung up. He screeched to halt outside Alex's house and ran up the steps two at time knocked and called out to her.
"Nick, what wrong?" She asked letting him in Nick checked the house ad finally relaxed.
"You need to come to the Lab with me there's been a serious turn of events with this case I 'm on." Nick explained, he looked so upset that she just grabbed a jacket and went with him.
Back at the lab Nick made Alex as comfortable as possible in the break room and then went to find Grissom and gave him the note, which he read slowly.
Nicholas,
Alex is my little mermaid I will have her if I have to kill to do it.
Signed, prince Eric.
"Oh my god, It's him." Alex spoke from behind Nick who spun to face her, her face was pale and she was shaking hard. Nick walked over and helped to a chair which Warrick had pull over for them.
"It's who?" Catherine asked, Alex looked at nick who sighed and shrugged.
"It's up to you." He smiled.
"My father tried to molest me when I was twelve my Uncle Charlie stopped him, he was in jail, when did he get out?" Alex asked stare around the group.
"We'll look into it, but how came you be sure it's him?" Nick asked holding her hand in his.
"He used to call me His little mermaid when I was a little girl, I had dark red hair and I loved the movie so he started calling me His little mermaid." She explained, tears filled her eyes and ran down her cheeks.
"Oh god nick I think I'm going to be sick." She covered her hand with her mouth as nick led her from the room and towards the bathroom down the hall.
"Well what now?" Sara asked, still a little shocked by all that had just happened.
"We continue with our investigation, one of you started searching for the father and the rest can go over the evidence ." Grissom instructed.
Hallelujah he shaved that thing off his face. And talk about your past coming back to bite you, ouch Kelly Gordon has rotten timing, Nick seemed okay with it but that look on his face was one I haven't seen before, he looked calm yet a bit bothered. I have a funny feeling that their working up to something that will go back to grave danger. Any ways, here's the next chapter enjoy.
