CHAPTER 4: RANSOM

*Miami*

"Do you have anything, Natalia," Horatio asked walking in to where she was working.

"No. Whoever these guys are, they know what they're doing," she responded.

"Ok…," he said before being cut off by his cell phone ringing. "Caine." "

I need $1 million for each of your CSIs by noon on July 7th or else you risk their death. Send the money to the Roaring 20s on the 13400 block of Old Blanco Road or else you will never even find their bodies. Don't forget," the voice on the other end before hanging up.

"Who was that," Natalia asked when Horatio hung up.

"I don't know," he replied before walking out of the room. She just started shaking her head with a sigh as she went back to her work.

*New York*

"What do you think happened," Stella asked very concerned. Everybody was still in shock that Lindsay was missing. Nobody was able to find anything that would give a clue as to who did it or where he took Lindsay. No fibers. No prints of any kind. Nothing. Nothing to go on. All anyone knew was she had been missing for 7 ½ hours. The guy could have taken her anywhere and done anything to her. For all they knew, she could be dead.

Mac's phone rang. "Taylor." He fell silent. After a few minutes, he hung up and said, "That was the kidnappers. They want $1 million by Monday, July 7th at a place in San Antonio called the Roaring 20s. They said if we don't pay up, we'll never even find her body. Stella, you're going to come down with me. Don, you're going to be in charge."

"Where would you get the money? You only have a week to get it, get down there, find the place, and get her back," questioned Payton, one of the labs Medical Examiners.

"I don't know yet, but I'll figure something out," replied Mac as he left the room.

*Las Vegas*

"There isn't anything to go on," stated Nick Stokes to Grissom who was walking on interrogation. He had asked Lindsay a lot of questions about the disappearance of her mom early that morning.

"That's the problem," replied Grissom. He was cut off from saying the rest when his cell phone rang. "Grissom," he said before falling silent and coming to a stop.

"What was that all about," Nick asked when Grissom hung up.

"The kidnappers want a ransom," was all Grissom told him.

"How much?"

"1 mil," replied Grissom who continued to walk on.
