1Nick and Sara were in the break room with the team. They were just waiting on Brass. He came in about ten minutes later.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Brass asked.

"We were driving and our car broke down. So we started walking and a car stopped. Offered us a ride. We didn't really have a choice. We didn't have our phones and we were miles away from a gas station we passed." Sara explained.

"So let me get this straight. You hitch hiked?" Brass asked.

"Well...yes...no. We didn't do it intentionally and we didn't stick our thumbs out." Sara said.

"Right. Go on." Brass was writing everything down.

"Right. So after I told Nick it was a bad idea," Nick glared at her. "We got into the car. About twenty minutes or so into the ride, the door locks clicked. The guy locked the doors. He was talking about stuff. Introducing himself, then asking us if anyone ever told us how we shouldn't get into strange cars or something like that. Then he held a knife to Nicks' throat." Sara stopped talking there. So Nick picked up.

"He was saying how he was sorry. Sara pointed her gun at him and he was telling her to shoot him. I quickly unlocked the doors and we jumped out and ran to a gas station." Nick finished.

"Do you remember his name?" Brass asked.

"No. I'm sorry. I don't." Nick admitted ashamed.

"John Ryder I believe." Sara answered.

"Ok. I'll put a look out. I'm glad you two are ok." Brass left.

"That must have been scary." Greg said to them.

"It was. I hope they find him. He was such a creep." Sara stood up. "Whatever happened to the case me and Nick had?"

"Day shift will handle it. Go home and rest." Grissom sent everyone home.

Sara was at home but she couldn't sleep. She was watching TV when her puppy started barking.

"What is it Apollo? You have to go out?" Sara got up and brought him outside. She came back in five minutes later. Her house phone rang. She answered it.

"Hello?...Hello?" She could only hear someone breathing so she was about to hang up but the person said something.

"They won't find me. This isn't over." It was a man's voice that was deep. Sara slammed the phone down and just sat on her couch. Her puppy laid across her lap. She picked up her phone to call Nick or Brass, but when she picked it up there was no dial tone. She was scared so she just took Apollo and went into her room and locked the door. She fell asleep an hour later. It was a couple hours later. Sara left and went to a cell phone store to get a new charger.

"Hello, how can I help you?" A man asked.

"I need a cell phone charger. Verizon. The Dare." She said.

"That's a nice phone." The employee complimented.

"Thanks. I like it." She bought her new charger and went home. She charged her phone once she got there. She had a message on her house phone.

'Hey Sar, it's Nick. Call me when you get this ok? Alright bye.'

She called him back.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Hey Nicky. You called?" She asked.

"Yeah, hey listen, I got a weird call last night..." He started but she interrupted.

"Say no more. I did too. Then my phone line was cut." She told him.

"Yeah mine too. That's why I'm using my cell. Thanks for calling me back. I was worried about you." He admitted.

"I'm fine. And thanks for your concern. I had to go out and buy a new charger." She said.

"Oh right. I want to see your puppy. What's his name?" He asked.

"Apollo." She told him while she was making herself some coffee. "You can come over now or later, whichever you want."

"Well I'm in the neighborhood." He told her.

"Really? Wow, what did you come across town for Nicky?" She smirked.

"Oh a couple things here and there." He tried to not to give her the real reason.

"Oh come on. That's BS and you know it. Tell me!" She whined.

"Fine. When you didn't answer I got worried so I decided to drive over. Happy?" He asked.

"Very. Ring when you get here. I'll let you in." She hung up and ten minutes later Nick was there. She let him up.

" Hi. So where is Apollo?" He asked excitedly.

Sara whistled and a puppy came out.

"Apollo." She said.

"He's cute." Nick stayed for about two hours just playing with the puppy and talking to Sara. "Well I'll see you at work?"

"Yeah. Tonight should be fun." She said sarcastically.

"Hey Sar? Do you think they'll catch him?" He asked worriedly.

"Hey, we have some of the best detectives and CSIs' helping out. We'll get him." She smiled.

"That's a pleasant thought. Thanks Sar. Talk to you later." He said. Then he gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Then he left. Sara sighed then smiled.
