------------------------------------------
DINNER THAT NIGHT
Sara
and Grissom were in the kitchen. Sara was watching the food that
Laine had cooked and Grissom thought that Laine would like to spend
time with her father alone. Grissom's phone started ringing he went
into the didning room to be alone.
"Grissom"
it was Nick on the other line. ..."Wait what about Lainee's
dad?"..."OK ya ill tell her."
Grisssom
went back into the kitchen. Lainee was making the salad. He came in
jhe had a look of worry on his face. Sara looked up at him, "What?".
He looked over at Laine. She looked at him she seemed calm like she
knew he wouldnt be able to tell her bad news.
"Lainee
honey, your father well he umm..."
"Died
in a car accident when i was two i know."
"You
do?" He would have thought she would say something. Sara was
trying to stay as calm as possible it wasent working. "Well then
who the hell is in there?!" She looked at Lainee.
"Not
sure some random dude i guess hes an experiment."
"Laine
you dont experiment on people." She looked up at Sara. "Well
other people can experiment on animals , and im not testing anything
on him or something like that im just observing."
"It
doesnt matter if animals and people both deserve their rights but
letting someone you dont know and is obviously mentaly unstable into
our home is not smart. Do you hear me not smart."
"Relax
Sara i get it we'll just say we have to go into the lab and hes gotta
leave."
Grissom
pointed to the pot on the stove." What about the food?"
"Its
salted water." Laine said as she picked up the lid from the pot.
Sara glared at her."Funny its almost as if you planned this."
Laine gave her a bit of a look Sara wasent to sure if Laine was
trying to say that she did or she didnt plan it.
Laine
walked into the other room," Dad we have to go in theres this
case we gotta work on so um im sorry we gotta cut this dinner short."
He seemed a bit disappointed but he put on a smile and stood up,"Its
ok sweetie maybe so other time."
She
gave him a bit of a smile and lead him to the door. She gave him a
hug and he left. Sara walked into the room. She glanced at Laine then
over at Grissom who just walked in. "Gil how are we going to
take care of that child?" Sara was being sarcastic she was
shocked at how this girl was so fearless about everything especially
with what's happened to her.
"Well im going to go to bed" Laine turned and left the room. Sara went over to Grissom he hugged her. She puled back gave him a quick kiss and then she went to get some ice cream and headed off to bed.
----------------------------------
THE NEXT DAY
Grissom
and Sara went into the lab early. Laine was going to come a bit later
she had a geometry test to study for.
Sara
was laying on the couch in the break room she hadnt been able to
sleep the day before so she ended up eating ice cream. Catherine
walked into their room and got herself some coffee.
"So
how was dinner?"
Sara
glared at her.
"what?"
Sara
sat up, "Well apparently Laine's dad isnt her dad."
Catherine
looked confused,"What?"
Sara
shook her head, "Im not even gonna try to explain it, you can
ask Lainee when she gets here."
"Where
is she anyway?"
"She
had to study for a test so shes gonna walk here when shes done."
"OK"
--------------------------
Laine
was walking to the lab. She had her mp3 on full blast and was
listening and singing to 7 years and 50 days. She couldnt hear
anything other than her music and well her own voice-she was somewhat
loud when she started singing...not good...just loud.
She
didnt notice him come up behind her. He wrapped his arm around her
neck and out his hand over her mouth. She couldnt help but think to
herself ,'are you fricken kidding me?! Not again!.'
He puled her into the back of his car. She wasent sure who it was. He was wearing gloves, and grabbed her from behind. the car she was in had no opening to the front of the car so she wasent even able to see the back of his head. It was only 6pm but looked pitch black from in the car. there was 2 small windows and they were both covered.
-----------------------------------
"Where is
she?" Sara was getting worried, Lainee said she'd be there at
5:30 it was now quarter after 6.
"Relax she's probably just getting something from the house." Grissom was just as worried as Sara but he was trying not to show it. He wanted her to stay as calm as she could and let him do the worrying.
---------------------------------
Lainee sat up
sometime when she was in the car she had passed out she was now in a
small room that was completely empty except for the chair she was
tied to.
"Where
the fuck am i?"
"Shh..You
shouldnt say things like that my little Lainee." It was her
experiment-she didnt know his name so thats what she decided to call
him.
He came over and slapped her across the face. Laine was
thinking to herself 'ok so he is super sweet acting like my father
then he slaps me? Stockholm syndrom thats what he's trying to pull!'
"Dude
you're so bad at this."
"What?"
"Trying
to get me to identify with you as my father like come on it doesnt
work that way. It was a good try though but you did it backwards."
"What?"
"You
treat me like crap then its random acts of kindness not the other way
around."
He
looked at her as if she was crazy. She was telling her kidnapper how
to...well kidnap her. Why she would do that he couldnt figure
out.
--------------------------------
Grissom was trying to
calm Sara down in the break room. Henry passed by, "Hey Grissom
you have a letter on your desk or something."
"Thank you Henry." Grissom stood up he motioned to Catherine to come and comfort Sara. He went to his office there was a large brown envelope.
All
he could think was 'not again, she's ok i know she is.'
He
opened the envelope. Inside was Lainee's necklace that she always
wore, it was a long silver chain with a ring on it. There was also a
note, and a polaroid of Lainee in the back of what looked like the
back of a van.
Grissom
picked it all up and brought it into the break room, thankfully the
whole team was there. When he came in the room the all looked at
him.
----------------------------------
Laine was somewhat
bored. Although who could blame her. Her kidnapper didnt know what he
was doing and the room she was in was completly empty. Whenever her
experiment came in she would study him. She didnt really get too
much, well thats mostly cause she already knew this guy inside and
out. Did that totally just sound dirty?
He
would come in every once in a while to see if she was still
breathing. She knew that she would have to give the team some time
but this guy slipped up big time. She didnt exactly know how but she
knew they would find something. In the mean time she was plotting her
escape.
-----------------------------
Sara could see the look
in his eyes,"What? What happened where is she?"
"I
dont know, all we have is this." He held up the picture, letter
and her necklace. Sara had already had tears in her eyes and now they
were streaming down her face. Catherine hugged her and was telling
her it would be ok.
"Sara
honey you should go home get some rest the stress isnt good for you
or the baby."
"Im
not leaving im staying here until we find my daughter." Sara for
the first time called Lainee her daughter. Grissom heard this so
perfeclty in his mind he knew them having this baby and addopting
Laine was perfect for them and he knew that if anything happened to
the baby cause he didnt stop Sara from staying he wouldnt be able to
live with himself." Im not asking you im telling you now go home
and get some rest."
"Grissom
I-" He cut her off.
"You're
going."
-----------------------------
GRISSOM AND SARA'S
PLACE
"Thanks for driving me home Cath."
"No
problem do you need me to stay with you?"
"No
you need to go help the team." Sara looked very upset, but who
could blame her.
"She's
gonna be ok. We're going to do the best we can to find her."
"I know you will." Sara sat down on the couch, and Catherine let herself out. She headed back to the lab.
