As Reade was walking out of the door ready to go to work, he being his clumsy self, stubs his toe on his coffee table. It really hurt, but later did he find that stubbing his toe wouldn't be the most painful part of his day.
Later at work, Reade was on his way to his desk from the printer and bumps into Zapata. Glad the did, because he had something that he wanted to get off his chest. He was engaged, he had just proposed last night and was eager to tell people. When about to spill the news, Jane comes around the corner, "Hey, Patterson has some new information for us on the tattoo case." Reade was cut off and didn't have the time to tell Zapata.
They all are surrounding a table in Patterson's lab while Patterson is explaining what is going on, "So sandstorm is planning another attack, they plan to kill the senator!" She exclaims.
With out a thought, they hurry up and head to the building where the senator is, to try and save her. When they arrive they split up. Patterson and Jane go to the control room to try and hack there way in to find more info and help others. Weller and Zapata go to scan the crowds for any signs of sandstorm. Then Reade goes in the elevator with the senator to try and get her to safety.
Suddenly the elevators stop. "What was that?", asked Reade.
"The elevators are being controlled, it looks like the elevators are going to drop 10 floors to the bottom and crash at full speed. You'll never make the fall. You need to get out of there." She explains.
Reade and the Senator continue to climb up the elevator into the elevator shaft. Weller then prys open the elevator doors of the nearest floor and with Zapata, lift the senator up to safety. They have 10 seconds left and Weller reaches for Reades left hand as Zapata is holding his right. They hold on tight as they hear the elevators drop and crash seconds later at the bottom.
As Reade's life flashed for his eyes, he blurts out, "I have a fiancé!"
"What!", Zapata Exclaims dropping his right hand leaving him dangling from Weller's grasp. "Sorry, Reade I didn't mean to drop your hand. Who is your fiancé?" Zapata asks.
"Sarah!", He calls trying to hold on to Weller the best he can.
"Sarah? My sister?", Weller says angrily. "You told me you broke it off!" He says dropping his left hand leaving him to fall to his death.
About 20 feet down, his shirt gets snagged on a piece of metal poking out of the elevator shaft scraping his back as he screams in pain, but also in relief that he isn't dead.
"Not your sister!" Reade screams.
"Oh sorry!" Weller explains reaching for his hand.
"I wouldn't date your sister after that. Besides my Sarah works at Sandstorm anyway."
Immediately, in shock Weller slams his fist against the side of the elevator shaft, ripping his shirt completely, sending Reade to his final death bed.
Only later does Weller figure out that Sandstorm is also a smoothie place down the street from their office.
