The Past Returns
Chapter 7: Nervousness
Sorry it's been so long but I've had writers block and I lost the story. But I found it! At least the seventh chapter is up now! It's still short. I'll try to make the next chapter longer and have it up soon. I hope.

The next day during work Kayla was jumpy and nervous. Warrick, Grissom, and Catherine were the ones who noticed the most. She sat in the lounge having thumb wars with herself. She wanted to say something but she also didn't want Nick and Greg to die. Jack probably had that in mind, though.
"Hey, Kayla," Warrick said as he entered the lounge.
Kayla jumped a little before looking at him, "Hi."
"Something wrong? You've been jumpy all day."
"No. I'm fine."
Warrick was about to leave but asked, "Have you seen Nick or Greg. They haven't shown up for work today. And they're not answering their phones."
Kayla stiffened, eyes now wide. She looked away before muttering, "No, I haven't."
Warrick looked at her weirdly for a moment before exiting. Kayla put her head on her hands and let out a heavy sigh. She didn't want to be a part of it… or him. The only reason Jack wanted Nick and Greg was because he thought he was wrongfully put in jail. He's been making Kayla's life miserable since the day she was born and he still is.
Greg and Nick began to groan. Their heads were pounding from the alcohol and Jack's hit.
"What happened?" Greg groggily asked.
Nick took a look around, "I don't know. Where are we?"
The door to the bedroom opened and in walked Jack. Nick and Greg glared at him.
"Welcome to my home which will now be known as your hellhole." Jack chuckled as he approached them.
"What do you want?" Nick's voice was full of bravado.
"My revenge… what else?" he answered.
"Revenge? For what?" Greg's voice shook.
"For making me rot in jail for all those worthless years. Sure I killed my wife and those other six women. But I wasn't done yet. There are still a few people I need to get rid of. Now that I've got out of jail, I can finish what I started. Since you two were the ones who put me away, you'll have to pay."
Jack evilly chuckled before leaving. The two CSIs began to tug at the ropes that bound them.
"Kayla!" Catherine called down the hall.
'So close!' Kayla yelled in her head. 'So close to leaving without being questioned again!'
Kayla spun around with a fake smile, "Yes?"
"Have you seen Nick or Greg?"
"No. Why is everyone asking me that?"
"You were the last one with them."
"Not True. They never met up with me at the bar."
"Well, we need your help to go look for them."
"Sorry but I can't. My dad's in town and he's very ill. I promised him I'd come straight home after my shift."
Before Catherine could reply, Kayla was down at her locker. She was out to her car before anyone knew it.
'I can't hide this much longer.' She told herself as she stared at the rearview mirror. 'They'll find out sooner or later.'
