Sara parked her car in the driveway and quickly got out, hurrying inside. Once inside she was surprised to see not only Grissom but Ed, Lindsey, Sharon and Susan too.
"When did you guys here?" She asked, Ed looked up, "We heard what happened and came over right away….Sara…"
She shook her head, "I have to do this, it's the only way."
They nodded and Sara walked over to the kitchen table and sat down, setting the shoebox in front of her, she opened it and emptied the contents onto the table. The contents were strange, five different origami figures, a gun, a cell phone and what looked like a cell phone memory card. Hands trembling Sara picked up the cell phone and plugged the memory card into the base. The phone issued a burst of static and then showed a live video that gripped Sara's heart with fear. It showed Holly, trapped in a well somewhere, the well was slowly filling up with rainwater, Holly was unable to climb out due to the large grate that covered the well, held in place by a padlock. She looked cold, soaking wet and terrified. Sara's eyes filled with tears and Sharon and Susan, who were nearest, hugged her, both were also crying.
"Don't give up Aunt Sara," Sharon said, Sara nodded and watched as the video faded out.
After the video faded words appeared on the screen, Sara read them out loud.
"Five origami figures, five trials; complete each trial to reveal the address. Each trial is dangerous, some deadly…Do you love your child enough to go through them all."
Finally a blank hangman display appeared, showing the number of letters of the address. Sara guessed that as she completed each trial she would fill in various letters until she had the whole address.
"Sara?" She looked up, surprised.
Grissom was standing next to her, Ed and Lindsey were both trying to control their tears and comfort their daughters at the same time.
"I have to do this alone Gil, it has to be me, that's what he wants," She didn't need to explain any further, they both knew Holly's life depended on Sara now.
Seeing her determination Grissom nodded and stepped back. Sara put the phone down and looked again at the origami figures; she then noticed they were all numbered. She picked up the first one, a figure in the shape of a bear, she unfolded it and opened the paper out and read the writing on it.
'Are you prepared to show courage in order to save your child?'
Below that it gave an address, as well as instructions to take the phone with her. She sighed and put the phone and Origami paper in her pocket, she then saw a ticket for a garage drop out of the figure, she pocketed that too. She knew the address was a garage and that it was within walking distance.
"I'll be right back," She said breathlessly before standing and hurrying back outside.
Sharon sniffled and looked up.
"Where's Aunt Sara going?" She asked, Grissom sighed and explained, "The man who kidnapped Holly is making her do these tasks."
Both girls looked confused, Susan was the one to voice their confusion however, "Why?"
""If she does all of them, she'll be able to find and save Holly."
Ed nodded, "All we can do is pray she'll succeed."
Just then the phone rang, Grissom answered it.
"Yeah," It was Brass, "Gil, the man the FBI sent has just arrived, can you come down?"
Grissom agreed and, after talking to Ed and Lindsey, who headed home with their daughters, he drove to the station. Grissom finally walked into Brass' office and found him with the FBI Agent. The man was approximately thirty-five with short neat brown hair and green eyes. He was dressed in dark suit pants, a white shirt, charcoal grey tie; a grey suit jacket and black polished shoes. He stood up and held out his hand, Grissom shook it.
"Mr. Grissom, I'm Agent Norman Jayden, I'm with the FBI."
Grissom nodded and, introductions over, both men sat down.
"So, I understand Scott has struck again," Jayden stated, getting to the point, "But he's made some changes, is that right."
Grissom nodded and explained what happened, finally, after a long pause Jayden spoke.
"Okay, looks like apart from kidnapping a girl and challenging the Mother, he's not changed anything else." He summarized, "I should warn you right now, these trials are dangerous and carrying a high risk of injury. The second and third are impossible to accomplish without sustaining injuries."
Grissom nodded, "What should I do?"
"The best thing you can do, is ease your wife's pain, if she's injured, help her treat her injuries, oh, call her, if she has difficulty tell her she can call me for advice."
Grissom nodded in agreement, everything was now riding on Sara completing the trials.
