I do not own CSI
"Get over there!" Logan yelled.
Carmen stumbled and fell over a chair in the empty warehouse. Her eyes stung and tears ran down her face. She hastily wiped them away, not wanting to look weak under Logan's gaze. Silently, Carmen sat down in the chair. Logan smiled evilly.
"You shouldn't have made a fool of me in my Father's bar." Logan circled her like a shark. "Don't mess where you shouldn't."
"It's not my fault. If the Red Armageddon didn't want me you wouldn't have looked like a spoiled brat."
"You little—"
"Mr. Perry!" Another man snapped, stopping Logan in his tracks. "You can do what you want with her after she's done what we want."
Logan stalked out of the room. Carmen curled up in a corner of the room, thinking about Jason. She used her fingers to brush through her tangled, dirty hair. There was nothing more she wanted to do than see Jason again.
(Jason)
"Here's what we do," Jason announced to a SWAT team. "Parker set up lots of traps on the first floor. The only way we could deactivate them would be on the second level, where Parker does all his planning and business stuff."
Nick watched Jason. He too was going along. They all were in the back of a van on their way to the warehouse Jason claimed was where they were keeping Carmen Vern. Jason acted sincere. It was still almost too good to be true.
When Jason was done explaining how they were going to infiltrate he sat leaning against the side of the van. He took out of his pocket a small box. Jason opened it and admired the ring inside it. Nick had to admit it was pretty, but suspicious. Jason saw Nick watching him.
"That's a nice looking ring," Nick started off, already judging him.
"I didn't steal it, if that's what you're thinking."
"Aren't you a little young to get engaged?"
"This is just a promise ring. I know right now isn't a good time to settle down—not with my past unsettled. But one day I'll be with her."
"Who?"
"Carmen."
Nick just about had a stroke. You could imagine the look on his face when he heard that. Things were getting too weird. Maybe he should have stayed at home. It was a little late. They were already at the warehouse.
