A/N: Sorry it took awhile and sorry it's not much of an update but at least it's an update right?

Disclaimer: I do not own csi or csi:miami and so on and so forth. I do own Elizabeth Wolfe Craig though and her deceased fraternal twin sister (Erin Wolfe Craig)

Catherine, Warrick, Nick, Sara were all sitting in the break room while Greg was pacing back and forth. They were waiting for Grissom to return who had to take an urgent phone call.

“Greg come on give us something to work with. You were the last one to see her,” said Sara.

“Well apparently I’m not if she’s missing,” replied Greg a little more harsh then he intended.

“What were you two doing?” asked Nick.

“Talking.”

“About?” asked Sara.

“Family. If you hadn’t noticed we can’t really talk to anyone else about that.”

“Don’t jump to conclusions Greg. You’re not the only one with family issues,” Sara cut in.

“Yeah everyone does, but not everyone’s issues are broadcasted to entire work environment, where everyone looks at you differently then they did before.”

“Well, I’m sorry if I can’t compare to th-”

“That’s enough!” yelled Catherine. “We aren’t getting anywhere with you two bickering. This is not going to help Eliz.”

Grissom picked up the phone in his office. “Grissom.”

“Mr. Grissom this is Lt. Horatio Caine, I’m with the Miami-Dade crime lab, I-”

“Is this a urgent matter because I need to get back to work.”

“I think you’ll find this very urgent. A man here in Miami as claimed to have taken a CSI from your crime lab due to her relationship to one of my CSIs.”

“Eliz is in Miami, how? what relationship?”

“It’s hard to explain what exactly the circumstances she was taken under and would be easier for me to explain in person. It would be helpful to have some people other then her cousin here, if you’d like to come to Miami or send some of your CSIs to help work this case.”

“Alright, so this is a kidnaping. I’ll send two of my CSIs on the next flight out,” said Grissom.

Grissom took out Eliz’s personnel file to see if he could find out who Lt. Caine was talking about. He thought he had seen a reference to an Uncle and Cousin in Miami when she was hired, but couldn’t remember. Eliz rarely ever talked about her still existing family, probably because her family life was already exposed enough. He came to the name in emergency contacts: Ryan N. Wolfe (cousin). Grissom closed the file and hoped this wasn’t another family issue for Eliz. He took the file and went straight to the break room. “We have a slight lead. We now offically know that Eliz was kidnapped. They’re still working on finding her.”

“Where are you talking about Gris?” asked Warrick.

“She’s in Miami,” replied Grissom.

“Grissom, does this have to do with Ryan?” asked Greg.

Grissom looked at Greg confuesed on how he knew about Ryan.

“Eliz and I talked the morining we think she went missing. We discussed and her cousin Ryan came up during our conversation. Does this kidnaping have anything to do with him. He hasn’t been a CSI for long, so I don’t know who would have a grudge against him.”

“I don’t know if this as to do with Ryan directly. That is why I’m sending two of you Miami to help out. Catherine you’ve been there before and know the people, so you can go,” Grissom looked around at the remaining CSIs. “Greg I’d like you to go too. I’ve scheduled both for the next flight out, which leaves in three hours, so be quick getting ready.”

With that Grissom turned and left. Sara looked angry that Greg was going because she thought his emotions for Eliz were going to get in the way. Catherine and Greg left just as quickly as Grissom.

Horatio looked at his team. Ryan looked as though he was trying to keep calm, running is hand through his shaggy hair and exhaling. Horatio had known that the young CSI although new to the team had requested for time off over a family matter about a month ago. Calleigh and Eric were standing near by. “Calleigh, Eric, I’m sending officers to keep your family members safe from whoever this guy is. It would be easier to have them all in home. Ryan, I’d to speak with you,” Horatio said.

He walked off to his office he heard Ryan follow quietly. Horatio gestured to Ryan to take a seat, but Ryan shook his head. “Ryan can you explain to me what meant by what you said when we were in the A/V lab?”

Ryan ran a hand across his face. “You mean about our family not needing this.”

Horatio nodded his head and Ryan continued. “A month ago when I asked for time off was because my other cousin Erin, Eliz’s fraternal twin had been and I had to go to the funeral, but the funeral just wasn’t for Erin, it was for my Aunt Margaret, Eliz’s mother as well. The thing is Erin was murdered and it was hard on Eliz. On all of us really.”

“Should Elizabeth’s father be informed?”

Ryan shook his head. “No, her father been dead sense she was thirteen.”

“Do you know why your cousin would be taken over your Uncle Ron who lives here in Miami.”

Ryan thought for a moment. “She and I have a very strong and unique cousin relationship. While are Uncle Ron has been understanding of us. Are bond is different then that. We both ended up as CSI she’s been one longer then me though. We both graduated high school and she’s two years younger then me,” rambled Ryan.

“Mr. Wolfe.”

“The thing is we both got a lot of verbal abuse from our parents. I can only think this guy took her because I’m closer to her then any other family member.”

Ryan put his face into his hands. “Mr. Wolfe why don’t you go to the break room, until further notice, I’m afraid I can’t let you work the case.”

Ryan looked at Horatio, Horatio nodded and Ryan got up and quietly leaving the office. Horatio knew this was going to be a tough one.
