Chapter 7 is up!! ENJOY!!!

The door swung open with a clash and jerked Sara and Catherine out of their sleep. They sat bolt upright on their beds and the two men stood there, staring at them and laughing.
"Let's go, girls." One of them growled, and grabbed them, shoving them out of the rooms. They stumbled down the dark hallway, being shoved by the men along the way. Then, Sara managed to fall and scrape her arm along the wall, leaving behind some blood and skin, in the blood she wrote,
"Mvng, new lctn."
Catherine helped her up, and then they continued down the long hallway, that seemed to last forever. Finally there was a crack of light up ahead, and Catherine realized that the two men would be disoriented by the light, and she intended to take full advantage of that. She tensed as she walked, ready to bolt through the door. The men reached the door and swung it open. Catherine blinked at the blinding light for a fleeting moment and then dashed through the door, dragging Sara with her. Sara realized at once what she was trying to do, and ran after her.
They both ran blindly through the hallway, and then a man stepped in front of them. Catherine veered away from him, but Sara stopped short. She recognized him.
"Ke, Keith," Sara gasped, and Keith grinned at her, saying,
"Been a long time, huh Sara?"
"Sara, RUN!" Catherine screamed, and Keith tensed, until Sara shook her head and he relaxed.
Then, Sara bolted past him, following Catherine. They ran down the hall and through a door that led outside. They found a few guns outside, hidden behind a bush and grabbed them, making sure that they were loaded. A few shots rang out from behind them, so they bolted into the forest nearby, running as fast as they could towards the sounds of cars, which could only mean one thing.
A road, which meant help.

Meanwhile, Warrick and Grissom were headed out to check out one of the houses of the people who were suspects in Sara and Catherine's kidnapping. They had gone without Brass because no one really thought anyone would be there, so far all of the houses that they had checked were empty, they were expecting anything else. They sped along the highway, with Warrick driving. They began to pass a forest, and knew that they were getting close to the house.
Suddenly, Grissom happened to glance towards the forest and said urgently,
"Warrick, look!" Warrick did, and saw two women running through the forest. Without thinking he jerked the wheel to the left and Grissom flipped the lights on, so a cop wouldn't pull them over and someone wouldn't hit them. Warrick slid to a stop and leapt out, followed by Grissom. They ran over to the two women, who kept running from them. Warrick took a chance and called,
"Catherine!" One of them turned and it was indeed Catherine.
"Cat." Warrick whispered and ran towards her. She dashed towards him and when they met Catherine threw her arms around his shoulders and he wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her into the air for a moment. Grissom ran past them and called,
"Sara!" The other woman turned and it indeed Sara.
"Sara." Grissom whispered and Sara ran towards him. He held firm and she slammed into him, almost knocking him to the ground. She clung to him, whispering,
"Sorry."
"No. Don't be sorry. Just don't be." Grissom said, his voice almost breaking. She buried her face in his shoulder and said, her voice muffled,
"Gil." His arms tightened around her waist and he whispered,
"You're okay now, sweetheart, you're safe."
"I know." Sara whispered. She felt so safe in his arms, like nothing could ever, ever hurt her again. She raised her head up and saw three figures moving through the woods towards them. She reluctantly tore away from Grissom and ran toward Warrick and Catherine, who were the closest to the three figures.
"GET DOWN!" She screamed at them, grabbing their collars and pulling them to the ground. They got down and hid behind some trees. Sara felt hands sliding around her waist, and then those hands turned into arms that wrapped around her waist that jerked her behind a tree. She curled instinctively against the chest she knew to be Grissom's, and he held her tight.
Just then, Sara remembered that she had a gun, and she pulled it out from her belt, Grissom doing the same. They gestured to Warrick and Catherine, who also pulled their guns as they heard the three men getting closer. Then, Sara and Catherine heard a chilling voice say,
"Come out come out where ever you are, girls!" It was the voice of the man Sara had called Keith. Both women shivered, and Warrick and Grissom tightened their grips on their arms. The three men got closer, and all four CSI's knew that they were going to have to come out of hiding soon enough, or be found and killed. They exchanged glances, and then took deep breaths. Sara whispered to Gil,
"Stay behind here and call for backup, me, Catherine and Warrick'll jump out, they'll think they're even numbered, then you jump out, and they'll be outnumbered."
"But.."
"No! Just do it, I promise, I'll be fine." Sara said, kissing his cheek. Before he could protest, she, Catherine and Warrick jumped out, bringing their guns up to level with the other three men. By the men's scowls, they weren't happy with their numbers being even.
Grissom called for backup and then jumped out, with his gun. Their scowls got more pronounced, they really weren't happy with being outnumbered. The only one that stayed calm was Keith, who had his gun pointed directly at Sara. Grissom really didn't' like that, so he subtly stepped between him and Sara, making Keith raise his eyebrows at him. Warrick stepped in front of Catherine, and they all stood off, waiting for the right moment to strike.
