I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again

Sara was now struggling with her captors. Jonson, Oscar and Charlotte had tied her up. They knew that this woman was very strong and tough and also knew that they had no other option but to tie her up.

But Sara had other plans. She was not going to let anybody tie her up. She smiled slightly as she thought of Grissom... without permission that is. She was tough as nails especially when she was pissed off and being lured to Frisco to a bogus lab was pissing her off. She wanted to go back to Vegas and nothing was going to stop her. She was in her 'room' where she had the barest of necessities. Some clothes and a bed and dresser but that was all. She had no money or ID (that was all taken from her) and no telephone. She knew she had to get away, she heard her captors coming up the stairs.

"I gotta jump" she said to herself as she looked out the window. "I have no choice but to jump." She was on the second storey of the house and it was quite a distance down. The footsteps were getting louder and louder. She took deep breath and opened the window. She looked down and shook her head.

"I'm not going to jump, it's a death sentence" instead she climbed out the window and onto the roof. She knew she had to be very careful. So after she climbed out, she shut the window again. She walked carefully along the roof to where it met another home's roof. She jumped to that other roof and made her way across it.

Back at her captors home they unlocked the door and found Sara gone.

"Where the hell did she go?" Oscar demanded.

Charlotte pointed. "Out the window"

Oscar gave his wife a slap across the face. "You were supposed to lock that window you dumb bitch" he said. Jonson (her father remember) shook his head.

"You are so useless Charlotte, why are we even helping you get back at this Sidle woman"

Charlotte said nothing and sighed as both her husband and father looked at her with disappointment.

Meanwhile, Sara had climbed down a ladder that a neighbour had left against his roof. She had climbed across three roofs before she finally was able to climb down.

She then ran. She had no money or ID, but she knew San Francisco well enough to run to the nearest Police station.

At the sight of the disheveled woman the clerk at the desk looked up. "What can we do for you miss"

"My name is Sara Sidle, I had been kidnapped by some crazy men and women.. It's a very long story. I need to call my friends in Vegas"

No sooner was she given a phone to make the call then her captors entered the police station.

"Sara honey put down the phone, we are here to get you now" said Oscar.

"Get away from me you asshole! Do not touch me. These are the people who were holding me against my will, arrest them!!!" she said.

"I think you had better just go with your boyfriend Ms. Sidle, he has come to help you and you need to just listen to him"

"What are you talking about? This guy is not my boyfriend! He is married to some girl named Charlotte!"

The clerk rolled his eyes. "You are right Oscar, you knew what she'd say. How is it that a man knows what their bad little girlfriends would say!"

Sara knew she was in hell again. She stood her ground and yelled for more help, this time a couple of police men came to her aid.

"I need you to arrest that man Oscar and his wife Charlotte Jonson and her father .. don't know his first name but he's know as Jonson.

"Calm down little lady. We'll take you into the briefing room" he said while Oscar, Jonson and Charlotte fumed angrily at not getting their captive back.

"I need to call Gil Grissom at the Vegas Crime lab, I need to tell him that I need him to help me" Sara had let down her guard and was crying openly now.

"Is this man your boyfriend or husband or what?" the cop prompted.

"He is my superior at the Vegas Lab! I want him to come and get me and take me out of this hell hole!" she said.

The cop got on the phone with LVPD but when he came back to Sara he reported to her the news. "He's gone away for the week in search of someone. That's all they would tell me."

"Call Conrad Ecklie then, he will know where Grissom is!"

The cop shook his head. "Give it up Sara, they are busy now, they have stuff of their own to deal with at work and you are now part of the Frisco team"

Eventually Oscar, Charlotte and Jonson had left the police station. They were actually told to leave, but they didn't go far. Sara left the police station, unarmed and with no money and a virtual target unbeknownst to her. (she had been told that her would-be captors had left)

She headed down the street to a café and just before she entered a hand clamped over her face and she was instantly knocked unconscious by chlorophorm. She then was dragged into a vehicle and driven away.

Gil Grissom and crew had been sitting in that same café, everyone had been at their table at the far end of the café… except Greg Sanders, he had been on his way back from the men's room when he had seen that vision of loveliness – Sara sidle about to open the door. Then all hell broke loose and she was grabbed from behind. Greg had ran towards the door and saw the car peel out of the parking lot…but not before he saw the license plate.

When Greg went back to the table he was out of breath and crying.

"Calm down Greggo, what are you so upset about, you just went for a leak!" Nick said jokingly.

"Shut the hell up Stokes, that was not funny, I saw Sara. She was about to come in to this café! I saw those goons that took her again!"

Grissom paled and then went an angry red colour "Did you get a license number?"

"Yes I did."

"This means War guys, these guys are endangering the life of the best woman in my life, Lets go back to the hotel and make a plan of action."

They all piled into the vehicles, but Greg, still angry at Nick for that humourless joke refused to sit in the same vehicle with him so Nick went with Catherine.

Sara meanwhile was in a room, tied up and unconscious. She was also bruised and battered and in a bad state.
