Chapter 4
Hey guys! I know that this chapter and update on this story is LONG overdue, but I happened to re-read what I've already written, and decided to continue while I have some free time. I hope you enjoy this chapter and remember, please R&R!
Catherine's P.O.V
Linzi is still asleep beside me; surprising to be honest, considering this is a strange place as she's never been away from Vegas before. I hope the guys find us soon, because I hate that she has to go through this too- she's a wee angel, nobody could have a grudge against her. The scariest thing is that I can't show my true feelings; I have to be brave for her sake. Truth is; I'm terrified. I can't even do anything; I don't have my gun, badge; I'm completely helpless. The only thing I can do is try and comfort my daughter until we hopefully get out of this mess.
Grissom's P.O.V
I can't believe I let this happen on my watch. If I hadn't have been so fascinated by my bug collection, I may have noticed sooner that she had been gone a long time. I pray that we'll find her and Linzi alive or else I'll never forgive myself. We've just landed at Fort Worth PD. There are cops everywhere; I hope they're all helping to find them. I recognize the badge on the woman walking toward me- Captain Eva Oaks. She greets me by shaking my hand, and telling me that we have full usage of all Fort Worth PD's resources. She guides me and Nick into the precinct to see what all they've got so far. I can only pray that their investigation combined with ours is enough to find them.
Nick's P.O.V
Walking through this Precinct is a dead ringer for home. I can tell that Grissom is blaming himself for this even though it's not his fault. I put my hand on his shoulder and he turns to look at me. I give him a comforting smile, as he forcefully gives me one back. We have just entered the layout room, where notes and reports are scattered over the work surface. Eva has started talking to Grissom; telling him everything they know so far, and Grissom explains what we know to as to fill in the blanks. I'm very fond of Cath; she has always been a great friend to me; I hate the thought of her in trouble; especially her and her daughter Linzi. Little Linzi calls me Uncle Nicky; I love that little girl- she has a heart of gold, and why anyone would want to take her, I'll never know.
Grissom, Nick and Captain Oaks's team got together, and began to head to the area where the van had been last scene. They knew that they could be one step closer to finding her.
Catherine had curled up beside Linzi on the mattress. She felt somewhat hopeful. She knew Grissom would never give up on her and Linzi. Then again, she felt terrified, not because she had being kidnapped, but because Linzi had been. She was startled from her thoughts as footsteps got louder and louder. She held Linzi close, as the door swung open, and the figure that brought them here entered the room. He walked toward them, and ripped the blanket of Linzi who just happened to wake up. She screamed as Catherine held her close. She stroked her hair, and whispered that everything would be okay.
The guy told Catherine to pick up Linzi. When she did, he grabbed Catherine's arm and dragged her out of the room. As he was dragging them outside to the van again, Catherine carefully dropped the piece of paper that had been in her pocket, where he wouldn't see it but where it could be seen. The back of the van was opened, and the floor lifted up. Catherine and Linzi were tied up and put into the floor of the van. When the floor was closed on top of them, they were left in darkness. Catherine managed to grab Linzi's hand and whisper to her that everything was going to be okay.
Grissom and Nick pulled up at the end of a dirt road in the forest. They got out and entered the old building in front of them followed by patrol. As Grissom went inside the building, Nick stayed outside, as something on the ground caught his eye. He piece up the white scrap, and noticed the message on it. He ran inside the building where he found Grissom at the end of the hall in a dark room lit faintly by a glow stick. "Mattress is still warm. They were here not long ago." Grissom said without looking up. "I think Catherine might have left this," Nick replied handing Grissom the scrap, "I also found this spray can outside." The scrap showed a picture of a crocodile wearing shades and a picture of a badge below it. Grissom's eyes widened as he looked at Nick. "I know where he's taking her."
