CHAPTER 8 - Hide And Seek - Imogen Heap
Nick walked into the break room to find Sara pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"Hey did you find anything?" She asked.
"No." He said sadly. "We're at a dead end."
"So nothing came up with the names?" She asked.
"Not a thing." Nick said sighing. "These guys are good."
"Maybe not good enough." Sara said a smile growing on her face.
"What are you thinking?" Nick asked.
"Logan's dad said that they had a lot of places that the did busyness right?"
"Right." Nick said still not getting it.
"So we get him to start taking us to these places. Yeah it might take us a while but we may get somewhere." Sara said.
"It's worth a shot." Nick said.
"I'll go get Mr. Hall, you tell Grissom and Brass." Sara said.
"Okay, meet you in the parking lot?" Nick asked.
"Sure." Sara said as they both headed their separate ways.
Sara found Mr. Hall sitting in the reception area. His head in his hands.
"Mr. Hall?" Sara said walking up to him.
He looked up. "Please call me Charlie. Did you find anything?"
"I'm sorry, but no." Sara said. "But you said that you knew of some places that they could have him?"
"Yeah. Why?" Charlie asked.
"Well we'd like you to take us there. It may take us a while, but we'll do anything we can right now." Sara said.
"Okay, when are you going?" He asked.
"Well right now." Sara said.
"Thank you so much Miss Sidle." Charlie said as they started walking towards the parking lot.
Sara only smiled, not really knowing what to say.
A few moments later Grissom, Nick and Brass came out.
"Okay so where's the first place?" Brass asked.
Charlie gave them the address. Brass called for a uniform to meet them there.
Grissom, Sara, Nick and Charlie all rode together while Brass led the way.
They headed into to the older part of Vegas. There where a lot of old run down places.
Finally Brass pulled off to the side of the rode.
"That's it." Charlie said.
They all got out and headed across the street. Brass knocked on the door. When no one answered he had the officer open it. The door swung open easily, creaking as it did.
Sara got a bad feeling that something was not right.
Brass and the officer lead the way followed by Nick, Sara, Charlie and Grissom.
They searched the entire house but found nothing. It looked as though it hadn't been used in a couple years.
"Okay," Brass said putting his gun away. "Where to next."
The next two places they went to, they found nothing. As they pulled up to an old where house, Sara noticed a teddy bear in the garbage.
When Brass opened the metal door, they where met with a horrid smell.
"Decomp." Nick said quietly.
Grissom nodded.
As the others headed in one direction, something caught Sara's attention out of the corner of her eye. It was a door that as moving slightly in the wind. As she drew closer the smell became worse.
As she slowly pushed the door open with her foot, the sight before her made her gasp.
She closed her eye's to stop the tears.
"Um Griss." She said softly, trying to keep her voice calm.
Grissom immediately went to her side. Followed by Nick, Charlie and Brass.
"Damn it!" Nick said turning away and walking out of the wear house. Brass sighed and called it in.
"I'll go get my kit." Grissom said softly, leaving Sara and Charlie.
Sara didn't move. She couldn't. She didn't even blink. She just stood there looking at the tiny body in front of her.
Slowly Charlie walked over to it. Tears falling from his eyes.
The boy's back was turned towards them.
"I'm so sorry." Sara whispered to him as he knelt down next to the body. "I'm so sorry." She said again.
As Charlie looked at the boys face his expression changed.
He looked up at Sara.
"This isn't my son. This isn't Logan."
