A/N: the end of the whole thing is coming up next chapter

KIDNAPPER PLACE

Liz wakes up finally and tries to sit up but the killer headache she has stops her as she realizes her hands are no longer bound but once she got her vision good she saw was still in the dimly lit room until another man returns kneeling in front of her making sure his friend wasn't going to be there, "I am sorry he's doing this."

She sips the water he offers her, "What's going on with him?"

"My older brother blames your friend for killing the love of his life years ago," the kid told her. "He wants to make him suffer before killing both of you."

She could sense the kid was scared of his brother, "Thank you for helping me at least."

"I have met your friend before and don't see why my brother hates him so much," he could hear someone pulling up to the house. "I have to go but be back when I can."

She watched him leave and the door opened seeing the other man enter once again, "I see your friends aren't as good as you think they are. Have to give them something to see you."

"What the hell is th-" she stopped herself from screaming out when he shot her in the shoulder.

The man leaned over her grinning, "This might help him get the idea to move faster before you bleed to death."

She was fighting to stay awake while trying to recall where she knew him from.

EPPES HOUSE

Don wakes up feeling something was wrong and decides that no use in trying to go back to sleep so he takes a shower then makes coffee noticing that most of his team had crashed there for the night since all of them were asleep around on the couches and floor as his phone starts to ring, "Eppes?"

The man is on the other end, "Well, it's nice to see that yet again I have evaded you and agent Edgerton but this time you will be the one losing someone close to you."

Colby woke up when his arm was shaken to see Don motioning to his phone so he started a trace, "Your girlfriend was the one who opened fired on us-"

"She had every right to after all you were ready to capture both of us."

"But you knew that we were close and sent her to the bank to throw us off you in hopes wouldn't lead us to where you were hiding."

He laughed, "You still have no idea who the hell I am. Look at your email and see what sent you this morning."

Don pulled open his laptop opening his email say Liz was lying on a floor bleeding from a gunshot to her shoulder, "You want me why hurt her?"

"Anyone with eyes could see you only broke up with her over the job and started dating that Robyn in hopes to get over her but have fought your feelings since. She has maybe 12 hours before bleeds to death so better get to finding me and soon."

The line went dead, "Colby?"

"Sorry," he told his friend. "Bouncing the signal over the place and using a burn phone."

Amita walked in sipping some tea, "Question?" Both men looked at her. "How does he know you two still had feelings for each other? Or what caused you to break up?"

"Maybe he works with us somewhere in the building?" Colby asked. "How else would he know?"

"Wake David and Nikki and run the names against the case files to people who work in our office or worked on a case with us over last year."

FBI HEADQUARTERS

Robin Brooks walks onto their floor and heads to where everyone were working on something and notice Don sitting at his desk so she goes over and leans against it waiting for him to realize that she was there but clears her throat causing him to look up from what he was reading, "Been away for the day what you working on?"

He doesn't look up, "Trying to find some lead on who took Liz."

She hands him cup of coffee, "You figure anything out about him?"

"Think may have worked here before."

"I have court rest of the day but maybe can get something to eat later."

Colby watches her leave and turns to face his partner as Nikki walked over to their area, "They have history?"

"Before this?" David nodded. "Liz joined the team first time could tell something was with their past but Robin and Don were dating at the time. She left for a while and broke up so think that's when those two started to get heavy but we only found out few weeks before they broke up with each other."

"So he went from Robin to Liz and back to Robin? That really says something."

Charlie stopped next to them, "May have found out who the caller is."

Don looked up when knock at the door, "You find something?"

They follow him to the conference room where he puts some papers on the boards, "Amita and me were looking into old names from the file against surveillance video prior to the feed being turned off running them against people who have had access to this floor during the time Liz and you dated and recent-"

"How many names you come up with?" David asked.

"6 names but one name seemed to stick in my mind because connected to one of her cases right now Cole Hanson."

Nikki typed the name into her laptop, "He's under investigation right now for suspected drug dealing to kids all over the Los Angeles area and most of the coast."

"He also has about 15 or so aliases and one comes up as an agent, Marcus Thomas."

"I recall him working with us on a few cases," Colby said. "He transferred here on temporary assignment from Tampa."

"We have anything on a location of where he was staying?"

"Adam Street Motel," Nikki wrote down the address, "Not sure how well this is but have to find out."

The ride there was in silence other than talking to the SWAT team, "Nikki watch the back to make sure doesn't get away."

SWAT gets there and when their counting down and they scan the room not seeing someone watching them as an explosion goes off outside knocking out windows in the room, "What the hell?" An officer asked.

David is first to recover and shakes his partner awake, "You good?"

Colby takes his offered hand to stand up, "Where did that come from?"

Don sighed looking outside at the few cars on fire, "A car bomb went off," Ryan said walking through the door with Ian. "Hanson probably had something to do with it. He has some experience with building them that no one caught until I went digging further into his military background as a technician."

"What's the point in doing that though?" Nikki asked.

"To throw us off looking for him at least for few minutes," Don said. "Colby and David help CSU look for anything that may connect him to it. Have to find out where he might be hiding."

KIDNAPPERS PLACE

Liz opens her eyes when the door to the room she was in opened and the young boy once again walked into the room but he stops next to her passing her bottle of water and making sure that her shoulder had actually stopped bleeding when satisfied he sat down frowning at her, "I know he wants to torture you and your friend by doing this."

She was sure the boy was scared of his brother, "Thank you for helping me but why?"

"Cole is the only family I have around Los Angeles but my dad is somewhere on the east coast somewhere."

She ran a hand down her face before he left once again before Cole returned, "Seems that your friends have some good luck but need to remind them."

Don answered his ringing phone, "Eppes?"

"Good to see that you have some better luck than I thought. With my surprise and finding my old hideout."

"What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?"

"I want you to find me before your friend here bleeds to death instead of you."

"Why don't you tell me and can have me instead."

Cole started laughing, "You still have 24 hours left to find me before start finding her body parts across the city," he hung up and turned to her. "Better hope they find you in time."

She watched as he turned a camera on facing her before clicking away at a laptop, "What's-"

"This feed is to help torment your friends back at the FBI some but wont trace the location in time to find you."

FBI HEADQUARTERS

Don walked into the break room to see that Nikki and Robin both were leaning against the counter stop talking once he noticed them and Nikki left the two of them alone but decide to head to his office but the silence was killing both of them as she was the first to say something, "How your team holding up?"

"All diving into finding her," he said sipping his coffee. "So far we have no leads as to where he's hiding."

David knocked on the door before opening it, "We just got a video feed from Hanson and seems its Liz but hold up somewhere."

Amita and Charlie gets off the elevator to see them rushing off to the conference room so they follow, "What did you find?"

"He's taunting us with now sending us a live feed of where ever the hell he has her."

Amita sits down at the table, "I can try to find something that might be embedded in the feed."

"Were trying to trace where its coming from," David said.

Colby continues, "He's bouncing the signal all over the place so having trouble pinpointing his exact location."

They watch as Don leaves the room, "What's going on with Don?" Charlie asked.

"Seems that he's taking all of this really hard and blaming himself for her being kidnapped."

Amita smirks at something, "I found something that seems to be in the background of where he holding her."

David looks to see Don on his phone, "What you find?"

"I looked at the reflection in the window in the room but seems there are a few reflections of buildings in the background that can try to figure out."
