Sorry for the delay, I wanted your excitement to build up for this chapter…but I didn't think I would take this long, so if you hated the wait due to the cliffhanger, then I'm REALLY sorry.

Chapter 13

"Nick! Let's go!" shouted David from the doorway.

Quickly, Nick made up his mind. He turned to David and said, "Take care of everyone. Then, I want you to call Gil Grissom; his number is on my phone. If you can, lead him back here, I'll try to hold them off," yelled Nick as he threw his cellphone over to David and ran towards Greg.

As soon as David caught the phone, he saw what Nick was doing. "Nick! Leave him, let's go!"

"I'm not leaving without my brother!" responded Nick as he tackled Thomas Sanders to the ground.

When Nick turned around, he saw Billy dragging David off. Good, they're safe he thought to himself as he ran to Greg, who was lying on the floor unconscious. "Greg! Greg, man, wake up!"

As Nick tried to shake him awake, Thomas Sanders came back and began to wrestle Nick to the floor. As soon as Thomas has Nick pinned to the ground, he began delivering countless blows to Nick's face and stomach. Oh how long had he been waiting to do this. As he was about to deliver the final blow, he heard someone say, "No one hurts my brother."

As soon as Thomas turned around, he saw Greg, weak as a wounded animal, bring up a fist and slam it across his face. The blow knocked Thomas off and allowed Greg to help Nick up. "Thanks man," thanked Nick.

"Hey, no problem. Let's just get out of here," said Greg weakly as they began to head to the door.

But before they could reach the door, Chad jumped in front of them, blocking them from their escape. When the two men turned around, they saw Thomas blocking the other exit. "Well, well, well, looks like you've got nowhere to run," smiled Thomas.

Nick and Greg glared at him evilly as Chad hit them both on the back of the head and knocked them unconscious. "Throw them back into the cellar," ordered Thomas as he wiped the blood from his lip and went back into the living room.

Chad gladly threw the unconscious forms of the two CSIs and took them back down into the dark basement. They may have lost four of the Stokes, but they could still have some fun with these two, thought Thomas as he sat back down and went back to sleep.

Billy continued to drag David away from their childhood home and towards freedom. After they had caught up with the others, they each began to feel the blow of the events that had just taken place. Jacob was sitting on the ground, holding his head in his hands. Gracie and Laura hugged each other as they cried on one another's shoulders. Billy paced the small area and kicked a nearby rock. But David…David stared at the evil house that was once his home with anger. What Nick had told him continued to play in his mind as he stared at the large building. As he continued to gaze at the large structure, Billy pushed past him and towards the house. "Billy, where are you going?" asked David.

"I'm going to get them back. We can't just leave them!"

"Yes, we can. Nick told us to go find Mr. Grissom."

"I don't care what Nick said. We have to go back for them!"

"You want to go storming into that house and get caught yourself, then be my guest!" shouted David as he turned to the others, "Listen, I know you guys hate to hear this, but we have to leave them behind. Nick and…Greg risked their lives to let us get out of there unharmed. We're their only hope. Mr. Gil Grissom and his team are on their way here at this very moment, but they have no idea where to go. If we want to help them, then we have to leave them behind and find Mr. Grissom. I got Nick's phone, all I have to do is dial him up and tell him to meet us somewhere so we can take them to Nick and Danny. That's the only way we can help them. But, like I said, if you want to go back there and risk getting caught, then go ahead, but I'm going to find Mr. Grissom. That's the only way we can help them now. So, are you with me or against me?"

The speech, made each and every one of them think about it. After giving it some good thought, Jacob stood up and walked up to David. "I'm with you."

As Jacob stood next to him, Gracie and Laura walked up to David. "We're coming to," stated Gracie.

"Anything to help Nick and Greg," finished Laura.

Then, they all turned and looked at Billy. "Well?" asked David.

After taking a deep breath, Billy nodded his head. "Let's go."

David let slip a smile and began to search through Nick's address book.

As Grissom and the team began to enter the city limits of Dallas, he heard his phone ring. Looking at the caller ID, he recognized the number as Nick's. He quickly picked it up and answered, "Hello?"

"Mr. Grissom, this is David Stokes. I'm Nick's older brother."

"What can I do for you?"

"Nick and Greg managed to help me and my four other siblings escape, but Thomas Sanders and Chad Jacobs still have them. Do you know where Rosetta Gardens is?"

"Yes, why?"

"Meet us there in five minutes. From there, we'll take you up to Nick and Greg. We owe them."

"Alright, we'll see you then," replied Grissom as he hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" asked Warrick.

"That was Nick's older brother. Brass, take a left here and start heading towards Rosetta Gardens," ordered Grissom.

Quickly, Brass took a sharp right and made his way towards Rosetta Gardens. As they inched closer to the rendezvous, each person in the car prayed that Nick and Greg were alright.
