Hey, I'm sorry it's taken me A LONG time to get this out, simply, life got in the way and I lost motivation while being to distracted doing other things. Anyway, things are progressing and soon hopefully it'll get to the point where I want this to be.

"Hey guys!" Warrick exclaimed as he noticed his co-workers/ friends hurry up to him before he noticed their expressions. "What's wrong?" Greg shook his head and Nick grabbed his arm pulling him along.

"Not now, we need to go." Nick answered as he noticed Greg pick up the pace. "Don't talk to Sam." He whispered quickly as they all had to come up short because said man appeared in front of them.

"Boys! What's the hurry?" He asked, a not so nice smile on his face.

"We have a case to do, it's important, if you don't mind." Greg mustered out, not wanting to talk to the man at the moment. They tried moving around him to be stopped by Sam placing a hand on Greg's chest.

"How's that search going eh, Greggie Boy?" He moved his hand away from Greg, a smirk on his face, apparently thinking that he was still the one with all the cards.

"What search?" Nick asked, covering for Greg, who at this point had done an emotional 180 and was looking rather pissed. Nick grabbed Greg's shirt from the back and started moving around Sam again and kept moving till they were out of the building. Sam never did look more smug than he did just then. When they made it outside Nick let go of both Greg and Warrick, pushing Greg toward the Denali in the process. "Go get in." He growled and Greg complied, to upset to truly do much else.

"What's going on Nicky?" Warrick asked, looking between the two men as Greg made his way to the Denali.

"Get to the lab, we're not talking in the open, not here." Nick said before stalking away, following Greg's path, slightly upset himself. As Warrick made his way to his personal vehicle he noticed Sam standing in the entryway of the building watching them all. Warrick knew that he wasn't coming back to any of Sam's casinos anytime soon.

Once the three of them made it back to the lab and Greg and Nick had both calmed down Warrick approached the subject again, but was told to wait till they all got inside. They made their way to Grissom's office and the other members made way for them once inside, Greg had something to say and they all noticed it.

"He knows. He asked me how our 'search' was going. Smug, he looked too smug!" Greg exclaimed, he didn't know how to feel so he was slowly shutting down, only focused on getting Archie back.

"Knows what? What's going on Gris?" The older man that was being talked to took off his glasses before sitting down at his desk and holding out a file folder for Warrick to take.

"Archie has been kidnapped, we caught the guy, but we haven't been able to find Archie. The man, Jucosa, has named his employer, Sam, but won't say where he took him for the exchange, or even if he knows where he is now. We need to get Jucosa's vehicle in for inspection, Nick and Warrick, maybe narrow things down on where it was he went, get as much as you can to Hodges for trace. Sara, I need you to go over things that Archie was working on, maybe see if any of its the reason he was taken. Catherine, you'll…"

"I have an inkling on what it is Archie was working on, he showed me before we left." Greg spoke up and moved over to Sara, Grissom took the hint and nodded at him.

"Greg, you go with Sara. Cat, I want you and to go in with Brass and try to get out of Jucosa where he took Archie for the exchange, maybe we can figure it out, maybe…" he pointed his glasses at Catherine's shirt and then smirked at her. "Also, you could probably mention you're Sam's daughter and he'd only come by earlier to see you." They all nodded and just before Greg stepped out Grissom called him back.

"Greg, I need a moment please." The younger man watched as his coworkers left, shutting the door, before turning to Grissom. "Greg, I know that you are emotionally and personally interested in this case, but I want you to use that as only the motivation, the drive to find him before you use it to ruin this case. This dream business that pushed it forward will hamper it later when going through the courts. I want Archie back as well, but I also want to put the one's responsible away as well. You also need to get some sleep soon, maybe you'll dream again." Grissom smiled before it turned to a smirk and he quoted a female from a previous case. "'Dream a little dream for me.'"

Greg nodded and left, heading to Archie's lab where he stopped and watched Sara going through the tapes that Archie had been. He approached and tapped her shoulder, she turned to him before pausing what she was listening to and giving him her full attention.

"The tapes are all linked, theres a female voice in one of the tapes that link to a 'Smoke' who in turn is linked to another tape. Grissom wants me to get sleep, I took a 5 minute nap earlier and that's the only sleep I've had since…" He looked at his watch, "going on two days now." She nodded at him and he turned to leave.

"Take as long as you need Greg, I'll be here." He tilted his head in acceptance of what she said and moved into the hall where he made his way to the lounge area, proceeding to take over the only love seat there, promptly falling asleep before he was even comfortable.

Once again the dark, damp and cold was the first thing to hit Greg as he opened his eyes. He was leaning up against the wall he had hit in the last dream. A moan next to him let him know he wasn't alone and as he turned to the body next to him he quickly realized said body was being hit repeatedly but another man. Greg knew he couldn't do anything but watch as the man kicked the man he loved. The door opened after a moment and Sam walked in, motioning for the man to stop beating on the other.

"Doesn't even seem as if they are looking for you Lab Rat. I asked them and they said they didn't know, makes me wonder if they care about you at all." He laughed and turned, waving his hand for his subordinate to follow him, soon leaving Archie alone with Greg. Greg moved over and helped Archie lay on his back as much as he could, he wasn't chained up anymore and for that at least Greg was glad.

"Archie… Archie look at me, open your eyes." Greg could hear his voice, but it sounded wispy. Even so Archie managed to open his eyes and smile.

"I knew it would work again…" He whispered out and raised his hand to ghost over Greg's cheek. "I knew you'd come again, I can't do this on my own Greg…" Archie coughed and Greg shushed him, glancing back at the door.

"Archie, can you tell me where you are?" The Asian man shook his head briefly. "No… How am I able to see you like this?" Archie sighed slowly, sounding more like a moan.

"Family ability… I need to tell you something in case you don't get me in time, since they are planning on killing me…" Greg shook his head at this but Archie continued on "I know I shouldn't, there are many reasons why, but I have feelings for you." Greg could see Archie start to tear up and tried to stop the tears, but he wasn't solid enough.

"Greg, he said that you would never find this place, he said since it couldn't be traced back to him in the least that he knows you find me here. I know we're in the city, I can hear the trains and the occasional honking horn, but that's all I can tell you." Greg nodded at this before glancing around.

"Can I look around, or am I stuck here?"

"You can go only where I can see."

"Damn…" Greg put a hand to Archie's cheek again. "Archie, The feelings are mutual, I promise. I'll get you out of here and when I do that, I'll never let you go." Greg promised as he looked into Archie's eyes. A smile lit up the Asian man's face before another cough racked his body.

"You have to go." Greg nodded solemnly, he really didn't want to but he knew the faster he got started on finding Archie the faster he'd be able to hold the man.

"How…?" Greg asked looking around and Archie brought a hand up slowly to his cheek with a small smile before the world around him turned black.

Sitting up Greg realized that he was breathing fast and he figured he needed to get his breathing under control and think over what had just happened. Once his breathing was under control he made his way out into the lab to find Grissom; it took him a few minutes but he found him talking with Sara in Archie's lab.

"Grissom…" Said man turned and managed to rush over before Greg's legs gave out on him. Grissom supported him until he could get him into Archie's seat, which Sara climbed out of to make way.
