Warrick let out a sigh as he put his bag in the overhead compartment and then got comfortable in the aisle seat. He noticed that there was a mom and her little girl sitting next to him. "Hi Mister what's your name?" the little girl asked.

"Warrick, what's yours?"

"Lily and I'm four years old."

"Stop bothering the nice man, sweetheart. I'm sure he has other things to do rather than talk to a little girl," her mother gently admonished.

"Don't worry about it I have a daughter who's about her age.

"What's her name?" Lily asked.

"Ella," Warrick replied.

"My name's Katy. If she gets too much just tell her to stop," Lily's mom said as she gave him a small smile. Warrick just smiled back. "Are you going to Miami for business or pleasure?" Katy asked.

"Business I'm a CSI for the LVPD and am going to the conference in Miami," Warrick replied.

"That's what my Uncle Eric is too," Lily piped up.

"That's why we're going to Miami to visit my brother Eric. My husband couldn't go because he had a deadline at work to meet," Katy explained.

"Do you mean Eric Delko?" Warrick asked. Katy nodded with a curious look on her face. "One time one of our cases brought me and one of my co-workers to Miami and I met him."

"Oh I see well it is a small world after all. I'm hoping to see my sister Marisol as well especially sense Eric will have to attend that conference. I have to go to the bathroom, what about you, angel?" Katy asked turning to Lily.

"Nope not me, Mommy."

"I'll watch her while you go," Warrick offered.

"Thanks I won't be long you be good for Warrick, angel."

"I will don't worry, Mommy." Katy just nodded and stood up but stumbled and would have fallen if Warrick hadn't put out his hand and steadied her. Warrick turned to the little girl sitting next to the window who was coloring in a Dora the Explorer coloring book.

"You like Dora?"

"Yes I do."

"So does my daughter." Katy smiled as she came back and Warrick stood up to let her in. Warrick and her daughter were talking and generally having fun. Not long after the plain took off Lily was sound asleep and Warrick leaned back and let his thoughts wander back to five years ago. He and Sara had only been dating for two months when Sara informed him that she was one month pregnant. They were both scared but overjoyed. They got married two months later and Ella Margaret Brown was born six months later on August 5th. Warrick dozed off with a smile on his face as thoughts of his wife, daughter, and their unborn child flashed through his mind.

Grissom was sitting in the break room enjoying the calmness of the lab right before shift. All of a sudden he heard a knock on his door frame. He looked up to see Catherine standing in the doorway.

"Hey Cath, what can I do for you?"

"I was just wondering if you've seen Sara? It's not like her to not be here so close to shift."

"Well you know how she gets when she's with Linds and Ella, I wouldn't worry."

"Your right well I will see you in a bit I'm going to get some coffee," Catherine replied as she turned and headed down the hall. Just then Grissom's phone rang.

"Grissom."

"Griss, its Nick." Grissom could tell that something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Nick?"

"It's Sara she's been kidnapped Ella is unharmed but Lindsey was hurt. I'm at their house right now with Brass."

"Stay their we will be their soon. We don't have any cases tonight so this will be top priority."

"Ok but just hurry Griss."

"I will," Grissom said as he hung up his phone and headed out of his office with a heavy heart.

Catherine was surprised to walk into the break room and to see that Greg was the only one in the room.

"Hey Greg you seen Nick or Sara?"

"Nope it is weird that their both not here," Greg commented thoughtfully. Catherine was about to say something else when Grissom walked into the room and she saw the look on his face.

"What's wrong, Griss?" Greg asked.

"We only have one case tonight and it is high priority," Grissom said solemnly.

"What is it, Gil?" Catherine asked.

"A kidnapping it's Sara she was taken. Ella was unharmed but Lindsey was hurt. Nick and Brass are at Sara and Warrick's."

"Lindsey oh my gosh how badly? Sara oh no someone has to call Warrick!" Catherine cried.

"That was all I was told now get your kits and meet me in the garage," Grissom said as he turned and headed out of the room. Catherine let out a frightened sob and a few tears slid down her cheeks. Greg noticed and pulled her in for a hug.

"C'mon Shh its ok Cath. I promise it will be ok," Greg said soothingly.

"Thanks a lot, sweetie."

"No problem now let's get going and find our girl, ok?" Catherine just nodded and they ran to catch up with Grissom.

Nick breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the Tahoe's pull up in front of the house. Catherine was out of the Tahoe before it had come to a complete stop. She took off running to the house. Nick saw her flying towards him and put out his arms, catching her and stopping her forward progress.

"Let me go. I need to see my daughter. Let me go, Nicky!" Nick gently shook her shoulders.

"Catherine hold on. We need to let the guys in to start processing. I promise that Lindsey isn't injured very badly," Nick said softly. Catherine visibly relaxed and caught sight of Ella who was standing as close to Nick as she could. She knelt down next to her.

"Hey Ella, do you know what happened, sweetheart?"

"No not really. Alls I know is that Mommy was took and Lindsey was sleeping on the floor with blood on her head and I couldn't get her waked up," Ella said as her bottom lip began to tremble and she looked up at Nick fearfully.

"That's very good you're very brave. What did you do when all of this happened?" Catherine asked as Nick picked Ella back up and settled her in his arms.

"I hid in the closet," Ella mumbled into Nick's shoulder. Catherine raised her eye brows in a questioning manner.

"She hid in her closet," Nick clarified. While this was going Grissom and Greg had walked into the house and started processing.

"This looks like where the perp knocked Sara down," Greg said as he pointed to a patch of blood that was next to the hallway and next to Sara's purse which had been tipped over.

"Keep looking and see what else you can find," Grissom instructed as he walked over to where Jim was standing next to Lindsey who was being checked out by the EMTS.

"How is she, Jim?"

"She's ok she has a concussion and is unconscious. She also has a couple of broken ribs and it looks like she has some skin and blood under her right hand. She was holding that at an angle as if she was protecting evidence," Brass finished with a small smile. Grissom just chuckled.

"Well I guess she paid more attention to evidence collecting and what her mother told her than we thought. Are you going to the hospital with her?"

"Yes and I think Ella should come and get checked out. I know she isn't harmed but I think she is suffering from shock. All though I have a feeling that Nicky will have to come with her. She hasn't left his side sense he got here," Brass explained. Both men stood back as the EMTS lifted the stretcher with the young teen on it and began to walk towards the door with Brass and Grissom following close behind. Grissom turned at the door and addressed Greg.

"Greg, keep processing I will be back to give you a hand in a moment. Catherine and Nick are going to the hospital with Ella and Lindsey."

"Ok, Griss."

Catherine had her eyes on the front door and ran over to her daughter the moment she saw the stretcher come through the door.

"Lindsey can you hear me, baby? It's Mom, sweetie."

"She's unconscious and has a mild concussion and a couple of broken ribs the EMT explained.

"Are you going to Desert Palms?" Jim asked. The EMT just nodded.

"Nick, I think Ella should get checked out mainly for shock," Grissom said.

"Yeah I do to," Nick said softly as he leaned down to talk to Ella.

"We're going to go to the hospital, ok angel?" Ella just nodded and clung tighter to Nick. Nick followed Catherine into the ambulance and headed for the hospital with Ella on his lap.

"Does Warrick know what's going on, Nicky?" Catherine asked. Nick drew in a sharp breath.

"I can't believe that I didn't do that," Nick exclaimed as he reached for his cell phone and called Warrick's phone. Unfortunately he must not have landed yet because his phone was still off.

"Hey Warrick its Nick. Call me whenever you get this ok, man? No matter what time it is," Nick said as he hung up his phone and stared down at Lindsey who was beginning to regain consciousness.

Warrick woke up due to a terrifying dream he was having. Someone had come into his home kidnapped Sara, scared Ella and hurt Lindsey. Katy looked worriedly at the young man next to her. He was thrashing around and saying "No don't hurt Sara, please." Katy reached over and gently placed her hand on his arm.

"Warrick wake up it's only a dream," Katy said softly. Warrick opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. "Are you ok, Warrick?"

"Yeah just a bad dream."

"You wanna talk about it," she asked gently.

"I dreamed that someone had attacked Sara frightened Ella and harmed one of my best friends daughter who is an honorary niece of mine. She's Ella's babysitter," Warrick explained shakily.

"I'm sure that everything is ok," Katy reassured him quickly.

"Yeah you're probably right," Warrick agreed as he turned his attention to the attendant who was waiting for his drink request.

Sara's head was pounding and she felt light headed. She could tell that she was in a car and the lack of sounds alerted Sara to the fact that she was in the desert somewhere. All of a sudden the car stopped and she was grabbed roughly by the arm and propelled towards a building. Sara struggled and kicked her attacker. Momentarily stunned he loosened his grip on her and she ran. Unfortunately for Sara she forgot their was another attacker and he grabbed her and penned her to the ground. Sara grimaced at the sound of her cell phone being crushed as she was wrestled to the ground. She kicked and hit but he tied her hands and ankles together and then blind folded her. "Get up you filthy bitch," snarled one of the attackers as he drug her to the building and threw her into the building head first causing her to lose her footing and hit the ground hard hitting her head on the way down. Her attackers laughed and began pulling off her clothes.

"No please don't do this," Sara pleaded. One of the men slapped her across the face causing her to see stars while the other man climbed on top of her and began to violate her. At first she fought but finally she just lie still after being kicked and hit repeatedly and let the tears of anger and fear stream down her face. Her only distraction was thinking of her daughter and Lindsey and praying that they were all right and unharmed. Once the attacker was done he got up and headed towards the door with the other attacker.

"Who are you guys?" Sara asked as she tried to sit up but had to bite back a moan of pain.

"All in due time you will know who we are, all in due time." Sara shuttered at the malice in his voice as the door slammed leaving her in her own private hell. Sara curled up in a ball and let the sobs take over as she thought about her family and how frightened her little girl must be and she hoped and prayed that Catherine wouldn't hate her for putting Lindsey in danger. Finally the sobs stopped and she fell into a wrestles sleep.
