Author's note: I am extremely sorry for how long it has been since I have updated. I hope you enjoy! I couldn't find a good beginning, so this is what I got. Please don't be mad! I was waiting for Christmas break to start. Thanks for the editing and ideas StokesSidle! Really appreciate it! ENJOY!

Back at the lab…

"Hey Nick, how long has it been since Sara left?"

"I don't know Cat. It has been awhile I guess" I replied

"Hey guys. Any word?" Warrick said grabbing a can of soda from the mini fridge.

"Nope." Catherine and me said in unison. Now all we had to do was wait for Greg and the rest of the team (besides Sara and Grissom) would be in the break room.

"Anything?" Greg finally decided to join them! We all laughed. Greg looked around, confused. "What's so funny?"

"Never mind Greg. Inside joke I guess." Warrick said while trying to hold back a laugh.

"No, its not the fact it's an inside joke so he doesn't get it. It's the fact that he doesn't get it because he's mostly blonde!" I explained while bursting into laughter with the rest of the team.

"Ok! Fine, don't tell me." Greg said complaining while sitting down with a cup of his 'special' coffee.

"Ok!" All three of us said at once still laughing pretty hard. We all settled down a good 5 minutes later and were now talking about where they could have gone.

"Ok we know that Sara got a phone call from her neighbor at the beginning of shift and," Catherine started to explain but,

"YEAH! And Grissom went to go get her or something like that then…" Greg interrupted.

"Then he told us he would be right back and to make sure to keep him posted with everything. But neither of them have answered their phone." Warrick input into the subject at hand.

They all sat there quietly in the break room until Catherine's phone went off. "Willows." We were all hoping that it would be Sara or Grissom but, "Oh hey Brass. No we haven't. You? Ok thanks. Yah. Sure. Why not alright, bye." Catherine snapped her phone shut with frustration.

"You okay?" asked Warrick nervously. "NO!" Catherine was pissed off. Not the best time to talk to her and we all knew it. "Sorry Rick, I'm just frustrated."

"More like pissed off with a 'side' of frustration." Greg said while I started to laugh and then Greg joined in but Warrick tried to keep his cool. It wasn't long until he burst in laughter right after u.

"Sorry Cath it slipped." Warrick said smiling so he wouldn't start to laugh again.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Laugh while you can boys, laugh while you still can." Catherine stated while wearing a mischievous and devilish looking grin.

Following Shift…(locker room)

"Hey guys, anyone see Griss?" I asked Catherine while she put her coat away. She was wearing a dark emerald green shirt, which made her hair look extremely light and a pair of dark Levi's with a black shinny belt. She had on, what looked to be, a pair of Pumas. Yes, Pumas.

"Nope, sorry Nicky no word yet." Catherine said as she put on her badge, hooked her gun on to her belt and shut her locker. Catherine walked out leaving me thinking about what was going on and what could be happening to them? Are they together? Are they alive? Did they leave? Who knows what happens behind closed doors.

Break Room…(several hours later)

"Nick!" I jolted awake. I had fallen asleep on the break room couch. "Nick, you alright man? You've been asleep for a while now. You feeling ok?" Warrick asked after I sat up.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just didn't sleep well I guess." I said scrubbing his hand over his face. "Any sleep?" Warrick asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yeah, none. I couldn't close my eyes without awful thoughts of what was going to happen to them you know? Sar's like my best friend and I don't know what I could do without her. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." I started to get tears in my eyes. Sara was the closest thing to my heart. She always made sure i was ok, and I did the same.

"Yeah, I feel yah Nick. Every time I think of what I have and haven't done, Sara is always the one who either kept my decision or changed it to a better one. Same with Griss, he's always been there. Why is this happening to them?" Warrick said. He was worried. You could tell as soon as you heard his voice.

Greg, Catherine, and Brass entered the room but didn't say anything; they just sat down at the table.

They sat around the break room impatiently waiting for the arrival of their coworkers/friends. Dead silence and anxiety was known and felt within the room.

Ecklie walked in and looked around, "WHERE ARE THEY!" he shouted fiercely at the team sitting and waiting for the reassurance that would reveal their friends weren't dead. All they did was blink and stare at nothing.

"We…" I started but was soon cut off from something, no…someone yelling, muffled like they were being covered up with a cloth, distraughtly for help. Where was it coming from? It's not in the lab. It sounded like…. Sara.

Everyone turned to look at were Ecklie was standing with a sleek, mischievous grin but, he was gone and the screams had faded along with him.
