Grissom and Sara hurried to Brass' office, when they arrived they found him already on the phone.

"Yeah, I know." He said to the person on the other end, "Look, we have positive confirmation, we can't explain the change in MO, but it is definitely Scott Shelby."

There was a pause and finally he nodded, "Okay, thank you." He hung up and turned to them.

"Who was that?" Grissom asked, confused.

"FBI, as soon as they got word that Scott Shelby had been sighted here they called me." He explained, "I told them everything that we knew, they're sending one of their people down, he's the closest we're gonna get to an expert on Scott, he tackled the Origami Killer case last year when Scott was at large."

They both nodded.

"Hopefully he'll be able to help," Sara said in response, we still can't figure out why he changed his MO."

Grissom nodded, "The way things are going, we've got no choice but to wait for him to send that letter."

Brass nodded and, after promising to inform them when their help from the FBI arrived, Sara and Grissom returned home.

Almost as soon as they returned home Sara broke down, Grissom held her and did his best to soothe her.

"This is completely fucked up" Sara managed to choke out, "Our daughter is out there, trapped, scared and slowly dying…And we can't do anything until tomorrow."

Grissom nodded, "I know, I don't like it anymore than you do…But we have no other choice, everyone's doing what they can but…Right now, this is the only sure way we have."

Sara nodded sadly, "Why did he pick us, why Holly, it doesn't make any sense?" Grissom sighed and then explained as best he could, "From what I've read on him, none of Scott's crimes make sense…He never has any personal connections to his victims, he just seems to choose them at random."

Despite knowing that was the only answer it still didn't make Sara feel any better. They spent the night in each others arms, unable to sleep, no matter how hard they tried. Finally the following morning they found themselves waiting anxiously for the mail to arrive. Finally it arrived they grabbed it and looked through; amongst the usual junk mail was a letter, addressed to Sara.

"He's broke from his MO again, he usually send the letter to the father." Grissom noted.

Sara swallowed nervously and then opened the letter, inside was a ticket for one of the lockers in the nearest train station along with a piece of paper that contain a small, typewritten poem.

'When the parents came home from church

All their children were gone

They called and searched for them

They cried and begged

But it was all to no avail

The children have never been seen again'.

Sara shook her head at this, she knew why he had sent the poem, it was to make her feel helpless before she had even begun.

"I'll be right back Gil," She said, interrupting him before he could protest, "I have to go alone, if I don't he'll kill Holly."

Grissom sighed and nodded and Sara quickly pulled on her jacket and left.

As soon as she was in the car Sara began to drive to the nearest train station, her mind was racing.

'I don't get it, Scott usually kidnaps boys and challenges the Father to rescue them, he's obviously been watching us all for some time…If he'd waited a year he probably would've gone for Sam instead…but why Holly, and why now…And why did he challenge me and not Gil.'

Unable to come up with any answer she pushed the thought to the back of her mind and continued driving. She finally arrived at the train station and hurried inside, there were a few people there, going about their business, she ignored them and headed straight for the room where the lockers were, she told the guard she had come to pick something up from the locker and showed him the card, he let her through. She hurried through the lockers and finally found the one she was looking for, she inputted the code on the card and the locker opened. She peered inside before pulling out the contents.

'What's this…a shoebox?" She thought, confused, she opened it and peered at the strange assortment of objects inside, 'Of course, now I see…I've gotta get home.'

Sara quickly closed the lid and hurried back to her car, she drove home quickly determined to act fast.

Meanwhile at the Kennedy household, Ed was on the phone to Catherine, she was just telling him about what had happened. Finally he hung up and sighed before rubbing his eyes with the heels of his hands. Lindsey came over and hugged him.

"Ed?" She was worried when she noticed his pained expression.

He didn't say a word and instead walked with her back to the living room and sat down; their daughters Sharon and Susan were also there.

Finally Ed spoke, "I just heard some bad news…Holly's been kidnapped."

There was stunned silence, Lindsey had covered her mouth in shock, Sharon was staring wide-eyed, unable to believe what she had just heard and, after a moment's silence Susan burst into tears.

"Holly," She sobbed, frightened for her friend, Holly was close to both Kennedy siblings, so close they referred to each other as cousins.

Ed and Lindsey hugged their daughters and sat comforting them as best as they could, wondering what could be done.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
