"Who're you working for?" Brass asked from the seat across from Jucosa. He just stared at the table, he hadn't said a word since they arrested him and he wasn't going to start now. Brass sighed and sat foreward taking the photo array from Greg. "If any of these is your employer just point. Who knows you might get off on a deal if you help us find our buddy." Jucosa just looked at the table and when the photos were pushed close he shoved them away shaking his head.
"He'll kill me no matter where I go, free or jail." He said in a monotone.
"Well we're hoping that once he's caught too that he won't be able to bother you." Jucosa shook his head and leaned back in his chair.
"He's got connections." He looked down at the pictures that were once again pushed in front of him.
"He's in there, but I won't say who." Jucosa's raspy voice said and he looked away not saying anything else no matter what they told him.
"Whats he doing here?" Greg said as he left the room. He'd spotted Sam when he had looked away from Jucosa and out of the room. He stood outside the room as Sam walked by on his way to see Catherine. Sam nodded at Greg and looked into the room and nearly stopped. He turned away and kept walking hoping that the young CSI didn't catch that. But Greg did and when he saw him turn the corner and out of his sight he walked back into the room.
"-ee what I mean?" Jucosa was finishing saying as Greg shut the door. Greg sighed and walked over to whisper in Brass's ear.
"Jucosa, just tell us who it is. We would very much like to get our lab tech, and friend back." Jucosa sighed and looked at the paper again. He looked around out the windows to make sure the man wasn't there and he tapped the mans picture and then sat back. "I don't know his name, and he paid me in cash. I already deposited it in the bank." He crossing his arms.
Greg smiled and took the picture array and made his way to Mandy's lab. He stopped outside the door when he heard Nick singing. When Nick walked out he almost collided with Greg but he shook it off.
"Yo, what's up?" Nick asked, his cheeks red from his blush. He hoped no one had heard him singing just then.
"You seen Grissom?" Nick pointed over his shoulder towards the older man's office and Greg nodded taking off. He rounded the corner and nearly ran Grissom over. "Sorry." He apologized and stood back from him. "We need to talk, and I think in your office would be best." He looked around catching sight of Sam and Catherine. Grissom raised an eyebrow but nodded and made his way back to his office. Greg shut the door and Grissom leaned against his desk.
"What is it?" Greg sighed and ran a hand over his face and leaned against the door.
"Well, this may sound weird but I had a dream and I watched the whole thing. Jucosa kidnapping Archie, and the pass off and the room where he is now. I just don't know what building." Greg was rushing his words trying to get it out. "I put this together," he handed the picture array to Grissom, "and it took a little bit to get Jucosa to say so but he pointed out Sam as the man who hired him." He took a breath, having run out from his fast talking. Grissom held up a hand so he wouldn't start talking again.
"Wait, you know what kind of room he's in but not where, you got Jucosa to admit to his employer just by this? None of this will hold up in court." He took off his glasses and looked at Greg seriously.
"Who cares! I just want to get Archie back!" He exclaimed, bringing his hands to his face, covering it trying to push his emotions away so he wouldn't start crying. "He kidnapped a lab tech, a friend of mine, he's some where in a dark room chained to a wall." He slumped a bit and tried but failed to keep the tears from welling up and spilling over his face and hands. He just leaned against the wall and let the tears fall, not making a sound.
"Greg..." Grissom just looked at him not sure what to do. A few moments later and Greg stood up straighter and turned away wiping his tears on his sleeves. "Greg look at me." It took a moment but he did and Grissom saw that he was hiding his emotions, not something he was used to seeing on the young CSI. "You have feelings for him, don't you?" Greg just looked at him for a moment and then he scoffed.
"Ya right. I can't have feelings for him. I don't..." He turned away again and Grissom reached out a hand and placed it on his shoulder.
"It's ok, It's understandable." Greg just shook his head and sighed before turning back to Grissom. "You go and try and figure out where Archie is and do your best. I'm changing this to a team effort considering he is one of ours. Just don't lose your cool in front of the others." Greg nodded and they headed out of the room. "You go find Nick and Sara, I'll go get Catherine and Warrick. Meet me back in my office." Greg started to nod but then he remembered Catherines words on the matter.
"Catherine said she's not going to get involved with this anymore because of Sam." Grissom nodded and went off in search of her anyway. Greg sighed and made his way to Mandy's lab. "Hey Mandy, do you-" He stopped and looked around her lab. Well one less person to find. "Hey Sara, Grissom is putting top priority to my kidnapping case, he wants Nick, you and I to meet up in his office." She opened her mouth to say something but sighed and nodded instead. "Have either of you seen Nick?" They shook their head and he left on the prowl. He walked past Hodges lab stopped and backtracked. "Nick!" He exclaimed walking in.
"Hey Greggo." Nick said turning slightly towards him before turning back to talk to Hodges.
"Nick," the texan turned back to him, "Grissom is putting top priority on my kidnapping case." Hodges tilted his head.
"Why would he do that?" Greg looked around before answering.
"Because... It's Archie." The other man's jaws dropped and Nick nodded.
"Let me, uhm, just let me put all the evidence up and I'll be along." Greg nodded and headed back to Grissoms office.
