He thought that his captor said he was going to burn with the evidence, that he was going to die and that Morgan was too, Oh god where was Morgan, had they killed her, it was his fault if she was dead, he began to hyperventilate. He scanned the room and saw nothing but pitch black, was he blind or was there no windows he couldn't tell, and where was he the place smelled musty and it was damp and worst of all it was silent. Greg moved his arm trying to reach out only to feel the grip of zip ties rip into his skin becoming more intense by the minute, the duct tape was gone that was good or was it; did that mean he was too far away for anyone to hear screams for help?
His body still felt like it had been mauled by a bear, how would he know how that, how could he compare it to that, fine his body felt like he had the crap beat out of him, it was even slightly worse than when the gang of tourist killers had beat him up, what did they call it Fanny smacking, what a weird name. He groaned in pain as he tried to move his upper torso probably from the plethora of kicks to it. Surprisingly the spot where he laid was not a hard ground but rather a cushioned one, he knew this was weird why have him put in a place of freezing temperatures, dampness and darkness but have a cushioned area? He pulled together the courage to try to move again and this time his legs fell off the side of whatever he laid on, was it a bed? he didn't dare try to stand for he was already in too much pain but none of that mattered all he really was thinking of was Morgan.
His question was quickly answered, a bright light flashed on and soon the room was illuminated and cast away all the darkness and that's when he saw it. He was surrounded by three walls of solid stone walls but the four was a glass pane and on the other side was Morgan chained to the bed, he jumped up instantly regretting the decision as a shooting pain surged through his entire body, but he still made it to the wall.
"Morgan!" he yelled greeted with relief when she responded trying to get away from the bed to the glass like him.
"Greg where are we?" she called to him, fear showed in her eyes, those blue ones that he loved.
"I don't know, I'm so sorry Morgan I'm the reason you are here," he looked down to the floor as he grew angry at himself.
"No Greg I.." she began but she was soon interrupted by a booming voice that come over a loud speaker.
"You shouldn't have found the DNA, the clues and none of this would have happened!, Now you will die, slow and painful, you CSIs need to be taught a lesson and it begins here!" and with that the voice was gone and Morgan's chains released and the wall separated.
"Greg!" Morgan ran over to him and hugged him causing him to cringe and her to instantly leap back.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know how bad you were hurt." She said wide eyed and fearful.
"No it's not as bad as it looks I'm just sore," he lied as he held back his screams.
"Greg this isn't your fault, I came back for you because I got nervous, you didn't show and I should have called my dad but I didn't."
"It's not yours either Morgan," They sat in silence as they took in their surroundings, it was creepy and both of them thought of what the voice meant by 'lesson'.
"Greg, my dad and the team will be all over this, they'll find us, I'm confident."
"Me too but let's just hope that they find us alive," he said as he held her close.

Four hours, they had gone missing Four hours ago and not with the Crime lab with extensive damage the team had to find out how to examine evidence. Russell was making calls to the next county over trying to find a space while everyone else entered yet again and went over everything with a fine tooth comb. Sara and Nick walked together following any traces of blood and so far it was leading them in circles.
"Anything?" Nick asked, he was exhausted, he had only gotten maybe at the most three hours of sleep before the call came in about the fire.
"I think so look at this, there is some dirt right next to a droplet of blood," she placed a marker next to it and snapped a few photos.
"Sara, we are going to find them." Nick said trying to reassure her, positivity was all he could think of right now.
"I know Nick we are good at what we do, and I trust that we will but it's the condition in which we will find them that makes me afraid." The mobsters were well known for their torture and if they didn't find what they were looking for they may try those techniques on the two of them.
"Guys get in here quick!" Finns voice came from down the hall in Russell's office, like a good portion of the lab, half of it was scorched but some of it was still okay. Sara, Nick, Hodges, Brass and Russell joined Finn and circled around her findings. It was a safe, like most heavy duty safes it was un harmed from the damaged, and it was a good thing because this particular safe served great purpose. Russell kept any unfinished reports in the safe, at the end of shift any findings were to be typed and place in there, it was a wonderful idea especially for events like these.
"Greg was finishing up, maybe he was able to place his findings in here!" Finn said with hope clear in her voice. All of them grew excited maybe this could lead them in the right direction. Russell made his way to the safe entering the combo, his wife's birthday and lifted the handle opening the vault. He pulled out all the documents and placed them on the remains of his desk, sure enough on the top of the pile was Marco Jelepso file, and in that on the top was the findings of the possible fake death of Hugh Fresco.
"He says that the cops on Hugh's case assumed it was Fresco because of the driver's license, there was no conclusive DNA match or record that it matched Fresco himself."
"Greg found out the Fresco faked his death and that he was the killer?" Sara asked.
"Yes but that's not all, look it says here that he may have found out where the real Hugh Fresco resides and who the victim could be." Nick pointed out.
"We need to check this residence ASAP, we could be lead to them."

Nothing happened to them that night, they just sat waiting and that was torture in itself. They had pushed the beds side by side and laid facing each other holding each other's hands in fear that this could be their last night.
"Greg, do you think there is a afterlife?" She asked looking up at the ceiling.
"As a scientist it's hard to but I'm sure there is a place where all souls go, you?"
"I was raised religiously by my mother, and I do, I think that there is a wonderful place where we will go."
"We will get out Morgan don't worry about that."
"I hope I have so many things I never did," a small crack in her voice made Greg aware that she was going to cry.
"What do you want to do, when we get out." He squeezed her hand tightly.
"I don't know, I've come so close to death with this job especially with the Ellie Brass incident and I've been reevaluating my live, I could have died from that shot but I didn't and I was so happy to be alive and then I had the helicopter take over before that and I was almost killed there and now I'm here and the offer still stands and I feel like those should have been my wake up calls but no, I just play it safe."
"Those were both my fault." Greg murmured.
"No Greg, you didn't cause the psychopaths to do what they did." she looked sternly in his eyes.
"I had you take over my place in the helicopter and as for the undercover thing I didn't fight enough to stop you."
"I'm stubborn Greg, I get it from my dad, I wouldn't have listened, what about you I should have gone with you to the slaughterhouse, to speak to ghosts, you were almost killed and I was terrified."
"We put our lives in danger daily and never change, I guess that as long as we get results and help put murders away we are satisfied and that's what happened with me and this case so when they came in and caught me I wasn't going to spill the beans on where the evidence was." It was quiet again.
"Hang gliding," Morgan said.
"What?"
"You asked me what I want to do when we get out, Hang gliding."
"That's a good one."
"What about you?" He could have said something life threating like she did but why lie, this could be their last time together.
"I want to go on a date with you."
