Gil Grissom was sitting in his office working on paperwork with Sofia Curtis across from him. There concentration was broken and they were startled by the ringing of the phone. Grissom answered it. "Grissom."

"Gil, its Jim…." Brass said sullenly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's Catherine ­ She's been kidnapped."

"What? When…. Where?

"We aren't sure. There was a note left saying she was taken. Day shift is working it."

"Oh my god. Where's Lindsey?"

"Calm down. Lindsey's okay. Well as okay as can be expected when her mother's been taken. She was with Nancy at the time."

"That's good. I want one of my people working this case."

"But ­"

"No buts. No conflict of interest, this is Catherine and I want one of our guys working on this."

"Alright. Sara, but that's it. Just Sara."

"Fine, just Sara. Just please ­ find her." He said very softly.

"We'll do our best Gil."

Grissom hung up with Jim and placed his head in his hands.

"Something wrong?" the blonde across from him asked.

"Its uh, Catherine. She was kidnapped."

"Oh my goodness. Are we working this now?"

"No dayshift." He answered with a hint of disappointment. "but Sara's helping."

"I'm sorry Grissom. We have nothing but an unknown print on the paper. We're at a dead end and we've been working this case for a week. We've checked every millimeter of Catherine's house and office. There's nothing more we can do. It's a dead end." Sara told her supervisor.

"Sara, there has to be something. ANYTHING!"

"There isn't Grissom. We have to throw in the towel. Maybe we'll have more evidence if and when we find her."

"You're talking about it like she's dead."

"Well there's a very good possibility she is! You have to think realistically Grissom. She's gone…. And if she is alive, she probably isn't coming back."

"That's not very optimistic."

"Well you know better then anyone in this job, we shouldn't be optimistic. I know she's your friend Gil. She's everyone's. We all miss her, but we have to accept the facts. We have no evidence, we have no suspects. We have to close the case."

He sighed heavily. "You're right. I have to face reality. All we have is a print and nothing else. We have nothing to go off of."

"I'm so sorry." She said in a whisper.
