Ten minutes later, the rest of the team had assembled at the sight.

Grissom's cellphone rings.

Grissom, it's Archie. I put a trace out on Sara's phone, like Brass asked. I've narrowed the location down to a place about fifteen miles from your current location.

"Gil, I go in first, and you stay behind me and listen to what I'm telling you. You pull any cowboy bullshit with this psycho and there's no telling what he'll do."
