The second call

"Nick , Sara let's go into the lab , there are 5 more minutes until the next call ."

"Why don't we trace the signal ?" Warrick asked .

"Because we can't this guy has some sort of machines that make the signal untraceable "

"That idiot…"

"I miss Greg . I am scared. What if the killer lose it and kill him ?"

"No , he will not , he's good at this"

Ring-ring

"Hello"

"Hi, Mr. Grissom . Glad to hear you"

"I can't say that . "

"Your boy here is glad to hear you , trust me . "

"Why the hell do you make this calls ?"

"Why ? I s such a simple answer . I want you to feel powerless , to hear and see that he's hurt and to be impossible to help him . I want to watch you struggle with tears , to look At all of you following every trail , just hoping you'll find him ."

"You crazy son-of…"

"Watch your language , dear Sara , you speaking like that can really upsets me . But now I have a surprise for you all . When you were gone , my buddy put this program in your computer , so that you can watch and see how do I play with your little CSI … "

"What ?"

"Open your computer and activate watchgreg"

Grissom did how he was told . In front of them appeared a room . They heard a voice

"Well , now you can see him ." Mike said .

He moved the camera towards the room and they saw Greg tied to the ceiling in the middle of the room . Catherine almost passed out at the view of Greg . His face was bloody , bruised . He was in his knees . His chest was covered in what that was once a shirt , now was a rag , soaked with blood who dried . On his chest , five bloody trails from a whip . They could see that one of the wounds was deeper . Grissom closed his eyes seeing that . The last blow , the most forceful was received by Greg because of him . They could see that the blood drained over his chest to the waist of his jeans . Mike , who had a mask on his face approached Greg and took young CSI's face in his hand , just to show the blood and the bruises to the team .

They gasped in horror seeing him in that shape . Maybe Greg was a crazy guy , maybe he annoyed them a lot , but he was their little brother and no one can do anything to him , because nobody is allowed to mess with their family . Only them and Hodges , sometimes , could so tease him , but not hurt him…this was an idiot thing .

"Say hello , Greg , you're friends are watching us right now , isn't that great ?" Mike smiled , taking the knife in his hand ."This will make you suffer " he said in Greg' ear .

"Oh my Lord , if they are watching me I should not let them see I'm hurt , that will make this killer's plan to succeed"

The man sliced the knife across his arm , from shoulder to his fingers , deep , painful and very slowly . The blood was dripping on the floor after draining on his hand . Sara felt to her knees , crying .

Greg didn't made a sound . No matter how painful that was , he didn't want to worry them more then they already were .

"Oh , so you are a little here , boy ?" Mike asked .

"Leave him alone , you son of a bitch !" Nick yelled .

"I can't , Nicholas , the fun had just began . Now , please take your seat and enjoy the show , because it'll be longer ." he took again the knife in his hand and cut Greg on his hands , his legs , his chest , his face more deep and slowly every time .

Everybody at the lab yelled for him to stop , to let Greg alone , but he just cut deeper and painful .Until Greg couldn't take it any more .

The sound that came from Greg's mouth was loudly , he shout for all the pain he endured that hour . After that he passed out .

Greg look horrible . He had cuts all over his body , blood everywhere on his body . The view was the worst thing the CSIs have seen in their lives . A nightmare .

"You see how brave he is ? Such a god guy … prepare yourself for tomorrow , when the real fun begin . Until then , bye-bye " the killer said .

The screen became black .

At the lab , after that , no one said a word . They were all quiet , all thinking at what just happened in front of their eyes and they couldn't stop it .They couldn't stand to watch that , how could Greg endure that without a scream ? He was a tough guy , that was for sure .

"Guys " Grissom said softly "we have some things to do "

Then they realized what had just happened and they understood it wasn't a bad dream . No . It was a bad luck . Greg's bad luck .

"We need to take things from where we let them . Nick , you've been to the prison ? "

"No "

"Well , you better go now ; we have 20 hours before the final ."

….

"Well , Mr. Sanchez , who visited Ken Gasgo while he was here ?"

"He had one single visitor … here is the name …Jonathan Wilder ."

"A final question : you still have the tape , from the security camera , with one of their meetings ?"

"Yeah , but I don't know if you can take it…"

"Look , Mr. Sanchez , we think that this Jonathan Wilder kidnapped one of our men ,and he wants to kill him , so you better give me that fuckin' tape , 'kay ?! "

"Alright " the director said entering the store "there you go " he gave it to Nick "please , bring it back after you finish with it , okay ?"

"Okay , I promise"

……

"Grissom , I have the tape with Gasgo's visitor in jail !"

"I hope we are on the right track …"

"Me too."

…

"Hey , Archie , I need you to help me with a face from this tape ."

"Of course . Let see "

"Thank , Archie."

"No problem . I'll give you the face in an hour "

"Okay , let's hope so for Greg's sake ."

……

"Here are the photos of your guy" Archie entered the break room .

"Well , Grissom , this is our guy !" Nick yelled , running in Grissom's office .

"What ?"

"This is Greg's kidnapper !" Nick said , happy .

"How do you know ?"

"When he … cut Greg , I saw this tattoo on his hand . And you see , is on Gasgo's visitor hand too . "

"What the name ??"

"Jonathan Wilder ."

"Jonathan Wilder … here you go ..Lovington Road no. 98"

…..

Everybody rushed to get to that house .

"Police open up !" Brass yelled , breaking the door . It was no one in that house . They saw a letter on the table . Catherine read it .

"I am not that stupid , I knew you'll came . I have a surprise for you : I don't leave here for two months

Love

Jonathan Wilder"

"God , it was a game .We'll never find Greg in time ."

"Yeah , but you remember something ? He said he has a buddy at the lab . One of us is a traitor , if we find out who , then we might be able to locate Greg ."

"Yeah , let's go back to the lab and interrogate every guy in there " Sara demanded .
