She didn't much of what happened because it happened so quick, she had been waiting for an hour for Greg and when she had finally decided that he had stood her up she left in a huff. However on the car ride she realized that Greg wasn't that type of friend, especially after she had told her about her past blind dates; she then decided that she would check on him thinking maybe he made a break in the case about Hugh Fresco's mysterious disappearance. Little to her knowledge she would now be in danger with her friend Greg.
She entered the crime lab catching an eerie feeling as she turned the flashlight on her phone to see through the blanket of darkness that cloaked the lab. This was unusual, usually a guard stood place before all the worker's of the dayshift arrived at five but there was no on behind the desk.
"Greg?" she called listening as it echoed through the ghost- like lab, he didn't answer but she knew that he had to be here, his car was still in the parking lot. She walked down the halls calling for him only to have no response. She began to feel discouraged, maybe his car wasn't starting so he called for a ride but then she saw it, she saw a pair of feet as the rest of the person was hidden by the wall. She cautiously crept closer and just as she turned the corner she left a hard hit to the back of her head and as she fell to the ground she let unconscious consume her.

He had heard her enter the lab, heard the calls for him and with every call he wanted to yell to her to run but the hand over his mouth was preventing that. His body ached, no ached was an understatement, no Greg Sander's was in horrific pain and his body screamed with pain as every cut, burn and bruise radiated through him. He listened as one of the men whispered to the other to eliminate the problem, what did that mean were they going to kill her; a panic attack was in the making's before the leader told them to bring her to him, that was worse he would never want her to go through what he had. It felt like a life time as he heard her call out or him but then it went silent and soon one of the henchmen dragged an unconscious Morgan next to Greg, he looked reassured by the rise and fall of her chest that she was alive. A section of her golden locks had turned crimson.
"Let her go!, don't hurt her anymore," Greg pleaded as the man took his hand off his mouth.
"Shut up!, she should have not been so noisy and you should not have gone snooping on this murder, now both of you have to burn with the evidence, Vinnie tie them up!" Greg had duct tape placed over his mouth and he watched as the same happened to Morgan and then came the zip ties.
When Greg was in college he learned about zip ties and how often they are used in crimes, but out of this lesson; Greg learned how to escape them and as the men tightened them on his wrists, he flexed them.
"You know you shouldn't have gone digging Greg," Vinnie said as he pushed into one of Greg's broken ribs causing him to let out a muffled scream from behind the duct tape.
"Alright Mark, light it up.

This was unbelievable, as morning shift looked at their workspace ablaze in the early sunrise they were shocked. Amongst them where Russell and Finn, they had been called by Brass, they knew that Greg and Morgan where in there and they knew that if they didn't put out the flames soon… no one wanted to even think it. Soon Nick and Sara arrived and then Hodges and Archie and they all watched as the firefighters fought against the flames of what seemed to be a chaotic mix of a grease and gasoline fire, it was proving to be difficult.
"Has anyone talked to Ecklie?" Finn asked the group as she bit her lower lip.
"Yeah, he is on his way he is just as afraid as us especially because Morgan is in there."
"How is Morgan still in there, she left with me, we walked out together!" Hodges was kicking himself, he was going to ask Morgan to dinner, he and Elisabetta had just broken up and he knew his heart was beating for Morgan.
"Come on she would have gone back to make sure Greg was okay, those two are made for each other!" Sara said much to Hodges annoyance.
"I think Greg had something, some break in the case he left a very brief message saying he left something of top priority on my desk."
"Wait look!" The firefighters had managed some how to put the flames out and now the sunset illuminated the scene as smoke lingered in the air. The team tried to get close only to have one of the firemen hold them off.
"It's not safe."
"But there are two of our people in there you have to get them out!" Sara demanded, Nick placed his arm around her trying to keep her calm even though he himself was aggravated.
The waited for what seemed like hours for the place deemed safe and that's is when Sara, Nick, and Finn to go find Greg and Morgan. Russell sat back with Ecklie who was trying to push himself to the building.
"Okay so the Firemen said that they couldn't find anyone but they were only able to search a quarter of the place before their chief called them out."
"Morgan, Greg call out if you can call me !" Nick tried but received no answer. The fire had damaged a good portion of the lab, black outlines were plastered the walls were the flames had licked at the walls, the whole place smelled of burnt plastic; it was a miracle that the place had not blown up with all the possible chemical combinations that where spread out through all the lab.
"Oh my god, guys look at this," Sara felt fear rise in her, her gut churned and she felt like she may be sick. The others crowded around the wall that Sara had summoned them too and soon they saw the blood hand print that was preserved on the wall they felt exactly like Sara. A million different things went through their minds.
Was that Greg's or Morgan's blood, where are they, how much blood was there, are they alive, will they find them in time? Finn picked up her Camera and snapped a shot, and from her kit that was in her car she took a sample and moved forward.
Conrad felt like his team was taking forever for news but no news was good news right? Wrong, no news was the worst, the anticipation builds up inside you and as it slowly consumes every ounce of hope you have it devours your sanity. Russell and Hodges kept an eye on their friend as they also hoped for news, It finally came when the team exited the building. Conrad read their faces, they were masked slightly but from what he could tell he saw fear and sorrow in them. He leapt from his seated position and bolted towards them.
"Where are they, why isn't anyone bringing Morgan out," he sounded mean but they knew that he was just scared for his little girl.
"Conrad, they aren't in there." Nick relayed the findings and for an instant Ecklie felt relief but that was soon shot down when he realized that there was a but coming on.
"But what Nick?" This time Russell asked and it was Finn who answered
"There was blood, and a good amount, I'm not sure if it's just one of theirs or both but all I know is that they are losing it and I think it was the mobsters who did it, we have to find them and quick."

Morgan felt her head pounding, it felt like someone had smashed a hammer on it, she raised her arm to place her hand on her head only for it to be stopped by a strong force. She tried to focus in the dark room, it was cold and damp and as she soon found out this was her prison.
