Chapter 10

"Where's Morgan?" said Nick

"I don't know I told you I lost her in there." replied Greg right there as he was holding onto his co-worker "Come on."

Greg brought Nick over to a table and Nick sat down on it. Greg was heaving as he had to carry quite a bit of dead weight. He got out of whatever mess he was in and found Nick sprawled on the floor. They then got out of the labyrinth together. They saw Brass coming over.

"What's going on? Where have you been?" wondered Brass

"No time Brass. Watch over Nick so he doesn't leave. I've got to go." said Greg right there he knows there's too much to inform him now

Greg stood there as he looked at Brass. He ended up leaving the two there and went over to a door opening it entering the staircase. He looked at the two of them right there and he ended up going down the stairs right into the basement taking it step by step but trying to do it at a bit of a run. He finally got to the bottom and pointed at a pile of rocks.

He thought that was really weird that there was a pile of rocks on the side but he just shrugged his shoulders and put it off. He opened the door in front of him and entered into a creepy lab like room. He also saw DB Russell, Julie Finlay and Sara Sidle there.

"Russell, Finn, Sara what are you doing down here?" wondered Greg

"We found Russell down here in a freezer." said Sara looking up

"Where have you been?" asked Finn

"Long story short a labyrinth of mirrors and I think I was trapped. Hard to say because I woke up unscathed." replied Greg

"Well we're trying to bring Russell's body heat back to normal." said Sara

"Where's Morgan?" wondered Finn

"I lost her in the labyrinth." responded Greg right there "I got out with Nick."

"So where is he?" asked Finn

"Upstairs at the masquerade ball sitting down he either twisted his ankle or hurt his foot. I don't know which one. Either way he is having a hard time walking at the moment." replied Greg

"Okay so what do we do about this mysterious woman who keeps on trapping us?" wondered Finn

"We trap her." said Greg

"Do you think that could work?" replied Finn

"I say let's try because this person is going to jail no matter what we do. We're going to catch her either way." said Greg

"I agree with Greg there." said Sara

"So how are we going to do that?" questioned Finn

"We beat her at her own game." answered Greg

"By luring her to where we want her to go." said Sara

"Yes then we're going to get Brass." replied Russell getting up from where he was sitting "I feel better and when we get this woman I will be back to normal. Now let's split up."

"Alright the CSI's are in the house." shouted Finn in an excited mood as she put her arm and hand up in the air

"Don't say that." said Greg to her as he put his hand out to bring her hand and arm down "Ever again."

DB Russell and Sara laughed right there as although they are co-workers they are also like family. But sometimes Finn can go a bit crazy, likes to gossip and knows when she wants something she goes after it. They have seen it done in the past quite a few times. But they know that things are never going to be boring around the crew.

Greg continued to stand there looking at the three of them there. He still can't believe the day he was having. Well to him it was a week that he was having because it has been crazy. He found out his girlfriend Morgan is pregnant, Russell finds out about their relationship and the baby, he helped Morgan look for a dress and now this masquerade ball going out of control. The masquerade ball has become the cherry on top of a sundae to make it even crazier.

But right now all he knows is that he should go out there and get this woman, unmask her and arrest her. Yet also at the same moment he needs to find Morgan at the moment. She could be anywhere in the labyrinth of mirrors as there are still places he hasn't been yet. There are actually many places he hasn't been yet. So he needs to find her and make sure that she is fine.

He will admit to himself that he's concerned for her safety as her boyfriend but he also concerned for his unborn child. He wants to keep his unborn child safe and sound. He doesn't want anything to happen to that child and that it will be unhurt. That's all he wants at the moment. Only Russell knows of it but the others will all find out about everything in time?

He wants time on his side. But the thing is he doesn't even know of it by everything that is going on. He thought that he must need hope. As it's all he has at the moment. But he is going to find Morgan no matter what. He would risk anything for her. That's one of the reasons he knows when you love someone and he loves Morgan that he would go out there and risk himself.

"Alright let's go." said Russell cutting Greg's thoughts and put his hand to his shoulder a little aggressively

"Give a guy some warning next time." responded Greg as they all went out the door and up the stairs and he put his hands up

"Yeah, yeah." muttered Russell

"Boys." said Sara behind them as she rolled her eyes

They went up the stairs together the four of them. They got to the landing and opened the door and went out to see the masquerade ball in full swing and a lot of people having fun. They weren't having fun though they are in a deadly game behind the scenes. They want out and the only way to get out is to catch this notorious woman once and for all.

"I will go over to Brass and tell him what's going on and see how Nick is doing. He probably wants some company." said Sara right there

"Greg, Finn you guys set up the trap." said Russell as he turned around facing his lower level co-workers who are also his friends

"What about Morgan? I need to find her." responded Greg

"I will do that." said Russell

"Okay let's go." said Greg grabbing Finn and dragging her off to the side as Russell stood there looking at them

"Uh this is going to be interesting." muttered Russell


Greg and Finn went back through the stairs and went up many flights of stairs and went past the level Finn was at earlier trapped in her deadly part. She could still imagine everything with the terror and anticipation riding right through her. She then went up another set of stairs and got to the top level. They then saw a door and went right through it.

"Okay do you want to stay here and I will go all the way down to get all sorts of stuff to get this woman." said Greg

"Yeah sure I can find a spot where we can trap her." said Finn

"Perfect." responded Greg

He got out of her hair and went back down a few flights of stairs and opened a door going through. He looked around and started observing what was even there. He then turned and went through a room and found what he was looking for. He went over to get what he needs.


Russell walked over to a curtain and put it to the side and saw the labyrinth of mirrors all around. He knows that Greg and Nick were in there earlier and the whole thing was crazy. Now it's his turn to go in here to find Morgan wherever she even is at the moment. He wonders how she is even doing at the moment because well she has been gone for a long time. Russell was getting both worried and concerned. He doesn't even compare to how Greg is probably feeling right now as he knows the truth.

But Russell knows that this whole thing is going to end pretty quickly here and that he is going to get out of this labyrinth. He is going to get Morgan and get out of here. As fate has not spoken yet and fate is usually what brings you to the good and bad times.

Russell went through mirrors and walked around the place and looked all around in circles. He was starting to get a little dizzy and he was also feeling a little nauseous as well. But he is holding his own ground as he put his hand to his stomach and continued on with no complaining. He usually doesn't complain and he's going to continue with that reputation.

"Alright let's go. Continue on." whispered Russell as he thinks that he is getting disoriented and continued walking "Hey pretty butterfly. Follow the butterfly."

He was talking like a little kid as he saw a pink and purple butterfly and started on walking on following the butterfly. He was giggling uncontrollably and pointing at it. He then started on running at a pace as the butterfly turned and he kept on chasing it.

"No don't go." said Russell still giggling "Butterfly, pretty, pretty butterfly."

Russell turned again and the butterfly disappeared and he went back to normal. He stopped giggling and became an authority figure once again. He doesn't even know what happened. It's like something took over him as this whole labyrinth was to weird and making people go crazy. He straightened his tux jacket and craned his neck for a moment. He then walked on hoping he could make sure he can find his way back.

"Russell." Said Morgan coming over and saw Russell and ran over to him

"Morgan. How are you?" wondered Russell

"Fine but that was crazy I almost didn't get out of the room." responded Morgan

"It wasn't like some hallucination." replied Russell

"No I literally was in a room. Where's Greg?" said Morgan really quick

"He's fine. He's with Finn setting a trap for this elusive masked female." said Russell

"Oh thank god. I can't take any of this much longer." muttered Morgan

"None of us can." said Russell to her right there "Now let's go."

"Let's." responded Morgan

The two of them ended up going through the labyrinth together now trying to get out. Morgan kept looking around not believing she was still in there after being stuck here for so long. She just wants to get out of it as she's had enough of the whole thing. It took a while but they found the curtain and went through it and got back to the masquerade ball.

They stood there when the female in the black feathered dress, black mask and red hair came out and looked at them. Sara and Brass came over to them and surrounded the woman right there. She then started on running away going another direction when Greg and Finn blocked her right there.

"It's over." said Greg

"Just give up." said Finn right there

She put her hands to the side and took out a small remote and pushed a button. It went total blackness in the room leaving everyone confused. It then came back on and the female was gone and running on out of the building. All of them ended up running after her and went out of the building and crossed the street. Brass went in and got the woman and went over to the others.

"Unfortunately I don't have my handcuffs." said Brass

"Well let's see who this is." said Sara right there

Brass took the mask off to reveal the young woman to have naturally curly red hair, sky blue eyes and a small birth mark by the eyes. She stood there struggling trying to get free as she looked at all of them right there.

"Britney." said Finn right there

"You know her?" said Russell, Greg and Sara

"Yeah she is totally crazy and we went to the same school together. Has always been crazy. I heard she went to a mental institution and broke out." said Finn

"She was in a mental institution." said Greg right there as he was pointing at her

"Yeah she has schizophrenia. Well she was crazy before diagnosed." said Finn right there "She developed it after her mother died in a tragic accident. But she also had a hostile childhood with her father."

"Well I will call that mental institution and tell them we have her and what has happened. They can deal with it then." said Brass right there

"Well let's go and party." said Sara putting her arms out

Brass brought Britney to the police department while the others turned around and headed into the masquerade ball. They were going to finish the masquerade ball in peace, go home and get some sleep. It was one hell of a night that they will never forget.
