Thanks for the replies!
"It has not been possible to connect your call." Danny mimicked the voice, throwing his phone down in frustration. "Damn it Flack! Can't we go any faster?"
"Calm down Danny, I'm going as fast as I can, this isn't the time to lose your cool." Flack said calmly.
"Four CSIs, no wait, four of our friends are MIA. I think now is a good time to freak out a bit." Danny said picking up his phone again.
"Danny we can't even be sure they are missing. They're in a secluded area, if we can't contact them they won't be able to contact us." Flack told him remaining focused on the road.

"How's your shoulder?" Hawkes asked Mac through the darkness.
"Better, I think. It still hurts but the bleeding seems to have stopped for now. It's stiff though." Mac told him shifting slightly, trying to make himself more comfortable without waking Stella who was lying on the floor, her head resting on his legs. Hawkes laughed as he watched Mac's face, which was now illuminated by the moonlight streaming through the trees. He did sympathises with Mac, he had had the same problem with Lindsay who was sleeping against him. Danny would be jealous if he could see them now.
"Ok, if it starts bleeding again tell me." Hawkes told him.
"Yes doctor." Mac said sighing, he really didn't know what to do next. Should he or Sheldon go looking for a way out or should they all stay here and wait to be found either by search and rescue or by whoever had been in the field with them? He was saved from thinking about it anymore by Lindsay who seemed to be muttering something about strawberry ice cream to Hawkes who, from what he could see looked rather uncomfortable.
"You ok over there Sheldon?" Mac asked laughing to himself.
"Very funny… ouch!" Hawkes groaned as Lindsay started hitting him in a frenzy and screaming at him to go away.
"What's going on?" Stella asked sitting up sleepily.
"I don't know" Hawkes told them trying to calm Lindsay, whose eyes were still closed.
"Lindsay, its ok, its me, Hawkes." He told her while trying to avoid getting hit.
Suddenly Lindsay's eyes flew open and she backed away from him, she looked terrified.
"Lindsay, it's alright." Hawkes told her softly as he approached where she was now sat staring at him.
"What happened to you?" She asked him looking at his face, which was now bleeding where Lindsay had scratched him.
"Erm… Lindsay, what were you dreaming about?" Hawkes asked her.
"Ice cream sundaes, why?" Lindsay asked looking confused.
"Lindsay, you did this." Hawkes told her pointing to his face. "You started screaming and hitting me."
Lindsay's face fell.
"What?" She gasped looking over to Stella and Mac.
"It's true, he couldn't wake you up. You just kept screaming at him to go away." Mac said confirming what Hawkes had already told her.
"Oh my God! Hawkes I'm so sorry!" She told him taking a look at his face.
"It's alright, you didn't know what you were doing." Hawkes assured her, guiding her back to where they had been sitting opposite Mac and Stella.

Half an hour later they were all sat in silence, no one knew what to say so instead they all sat thinking about their current situation until Stella stood up.
"Where you going?" Mac asked.
"I need to pee." She told him grabbing a flashlight and limping into the darkness alone.
