As promised here's a longer chapter. I had a snow day today so I decided to upload another chapter since you guys have been so good to me! :) Enjoy!

Rikki was walking back to the car. "Ok, I have the perfect place. An old police station, we're going to New Jersey. Drive." Lindsay was confused. New Jersey?

There was breaking news in every news station, policemen and CSIs investigating, working over time—for Lindsay.

Danny and Adam have been in the A/V lab for hours. Tracking Lindsay's broken phone, no luck there.

Mac walks in with Stella by his side, "Any luck?" Danny didn't realize their presence as he kept his eyes glued to the NYC map on the computer screen. However, Adam heard their boss, "Not at all. We can't get a signal from her phone," he explained, "We tried to track Rikki's phone, no help either." He sighed and looked at the screen hoping for some signal to come up. Mac looked at Danny.

"How are you hanging on?" Mac asked, "You've been here for too many hours. Go get some sleep. We will call you if we know anything." Mac placed a hand on Danny's shoulder and patted him comfortingly, "Go home."

Danny didn't turn to look at his boss, he just shook his head. "I can't Mac. If I go home I'll go insane. I feel so useless." He put his hands on his face, "I can't do anything from here, nothing!"

Stella frowned and put her hand on his other shoulder, "Danny, we're doing everything we can. You're not useless, believe me. Lindsay is fine, I'm sure, she's a fighter"

"And she's from Montana, remember?" Mac smiled as he remembered the time when Lindsay tackled a suspect against a car on her first day as a New York CSI.

"I know," he said and sighed, "What I don't know is what Rikki is capable of. I don't—"

Danny was interrupted by Flack clearing his throat as he was standing by the door, "I got a location of Lindsay's car," Danny turned himself around to look at Flack with wide eyes. "It was empty."

All their hope faded because of three words, 'it was empty.' Danny punched the keyboard in frustration.

"Where was it found?" Mac asked

"Near the I-95, it was dumped there" Flack answered, "We left it there for you guys to investigate it."

"I-95?" Danny asked, "New Jersey turnpike?"

"You got it" Flack responded.

"New Jersey?" Danny's optimism came back, "Boom, we finally got a lead!"

The three CSIs got up and walked to the current 'crime scene.' As Mac said—every piece of evidence counts.

Lindsay and Rikki finally arrived at their destination, the abandoned police station. The location sent shivers down her spine.

Lindsay read the circular sign that was on one of the broken fences, 'City of Highland Park: department of public safety.' If she wasn't being held hostage, she would've laughed at the sign, how ironic.

Lindsay was looking all around her as they walked inside the building, it seemed like it was taken from a horror movie scene. There were broken chairs, rusty jail cells, ripped files with names of suspects, burnt pictures.

Lindsay swallowed as she felt Rikki grab her arm.

The CSI team arrived at the Interstate, "Here it is." Flack said as the group got out of their SUVs and walked towards the vacant car.

Danny was looking at the car and its surroundings. "Tire treads; they swapped cars," Danny said as he pointed to the cement, "I'll take a sample of the burnt tire, also an impregnation of the tire on the cement." Mac nodded as he got his latex gloves on and opened the SUVs door.

Mac eyed the police radio, "The wires were cut, no wonder Adam couldn't get a connection with Lindsay."

"Mac," Stella called from a few feet away of the SUV, "Take a look at this"

Mac got out of the SUV and Danny followed him, "Lindsay's phone" Danny said as he took it in his hands as if it was a precious artifact, "crushed."

"Her pager is also," Stella said taking pictures of it before giving it to Mac. He frowned and looked at the cars driving on the busy interstate, "we need to find her soon."

Rikki grabbed a rusty chair and made Lindsay sit on it, "Now let's finish this shall we?" Rikki grabbed handcuffs and put them around Lindsay's wrists, "I got these from your car, very helpful. A little more sophisticated than the old and usual transparent adhesive tape."

All the stress was making Lindsay feel woozy; she took a deep breath and began to think, quickly. Rikki grabbed a gun from the rusty and broken table; it looked like it'd collapse at any moment. She pointed it at Lindsay, "My son died this way. Danny took my son's life away, and I shall take yours the same way"

Lindsay widened her eyes, "Danny took your son's life away?"

This is the reason why she wants to kill me? Because she thinks Danny killed her son? Lindsay thought. Just by thinking it, it was infuriating her more.

"Danny did all he could to make justice!" Lindsay tried to keep her voice down, but couldn't. "All he did was think of you and your son! Nothing else, you can't possibly blame Danny for Ruben's death!"

Rikki gave her a sarcastic laugh, "He thought of my son? Please. He was too busy with his love life. He would've never done anything for him. He sent me to jail when I tried to kill the bastard that killed my son!" She yelled and aimed the gun straight to Lindsay's head.

"You must be joking. He wasn't the one that sent you to jail. And you stole an officer's gun! That's the law, not his choice. What love life? If you're meaning me, you are completely wrong; he pushed me away when this happened. All what Danny wanted is to kill the man that killed your son!" Lindsay's voice was shaking.

"That's not true" Rikki said. Her hand was shaking and her eyes showed her madness. "I will make him feel how I felt when the little love of my life was taken away from me."

TBC! I got lots of reviews for my little tiny chapter! So I decided to make you all an early Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanzaa/etc by giving you a longer chapter! Thank you so much to my new reviewers:
