"What do we have Alexx?"

Horatio smile looking at Alexx as he pulled the sunglasses from his face..

"Sad Horatio, are vic suffered multiple gunshot wounds, six to be exact.."

"So C.O.D, would be gunshot right?"

"Most likely the gunshot to the head may be the cause. Poor baby, I know you didn't choose to go out like this. bodies in its first stage of mortise, I say T.O.D is about 2 maybe 3 hours ago"

"Look at the gunshot wounds on the mans four arm and hand."

"Defensive wounds" Alexx replied taking the vics hand to examine the wounds. "

" he fought to stay alive."

"If he did, we should find skin under the mans finger nails."

"Yes I'll make sure I get that to Valera when I get back to post"

"Thank you Alexx."

Walking to the front of the house, Horatio felt worried not sure why, today felt different to him. Since he had got up this morning he had felt uneasy, like something not of good was going to happen today. Staring out in space Eric walked up to Horatio noticing the look in the mans eyes something was up..

"H you ok'

"Yes I'm fine Eric, today just doesn't seem the same, today, something different."

" Well H everyday is always different in Miami." Eric gave Horatio a grin tapping him on the shoulder..

"I guess your right Eric, do we have and ID on are Vic yet?"

"Yea".. Eric responded.. "I talked to a couple of neighbors, the women next door said are vic's name is Elliot Chavez. He lives alone, he always people in and out of his house."

"Does the woman have any idea who would want Mr. Chavez dead?"

Horatio stood with his hands on his hips..

"No, she said Elliot usually kept to them self, never caused any problems"..

Ryan Wolfe came jogging from across the street, having finished talked to an elderly man he had information to give to Horatio.

'Mr Wolfe? Speak to me"..Horatio turned in Ryan's direction..

"H, a man across the street said he saw a black old model ford maybe a mustangs with a broken left tail light leave the vic's house about 2 to 3 hours ago, speed off in a hurry."

"that's consistent to Alexx's T.O.D on are Vic" Horatio replied..

"Here's what I want you men to do, Eric stay here Calleigh should be on her way, I want you and her to finish processing the crime scene, Ryan I want you to get back to the lab and run and ID on the vehicle maybe we can get something".

With in a few minutes Calleigh pulled up in the hummer parking long side Eric's hummer..

"Hey Eric?" Calleigh shouted given Eric a big bright Southern smile as she slammed the hummer door behind her.

"Cal you ready to get to work".. Eric replied. Knowing Calleigh was always ready to get to work, she was the only one that he knew took great pride in what she did.

"If I wasn't, said Calleigh I wouldn't have got out of bed this morning" getting her kit out of the hummer shutting the back door..

Walking toward the front door Calleigh looked around, the house was a mess..

"I'll check in the back, its seems that are suspects were here to get something, by the way the house was trashed it must have been very important."

grabbing her kit from the front door Calleigh headed to the back of the house.. "

I guess ill take the front" smiled Eric..

silence field the home, only a few words were shouted back and fourth about the case, or if either of them found something important and needed the other to take a look at it. While searching for prints Eric notice small blood splatters, away from were the vic body lay. they may belong to the suspect, not sure he wanted to ask for Calleigh opinion.

"Hey Cal I think I got something interesting come take a look"

he didn't get and answer, he turned toward the hall calling her name again..

"Calleigh" Eric called again.. Standing up Eric headed toward the hall. he opened the door to the room calleigh was in.

"Hey" Eric shouted walking toward Calleigh he felt sharp pain to the back of the head, trying to stay awake he couldn't and his eyes drifted into black


Back at the lab in corner, Alexx had just finished examining the body..

"Hey Alexx, Natalia spoke entering the corner, Horatio said are Vic may have skin under his fingernails? I wanted to get that to Valera so she can run it threw CO-DIS"

"Nope honey" Alexx replied, "but I did find something else" Taking the mans hands and showing Natalia.

"skin over on the Vic knuckles, he may have punched are suspect". Grabbing a q-tip Natalia took the mans hands and began to swab his knuckles, "I'll get this to Valera"

"OK. Oh and hey" Alexx stopped Natalia before she left the room.. "Have you seen my bullet girl?" asked Alexx with a smile on her face. "I have a gift for her" showing Natalia the bag of bullets she recover from the Vic body..

"her and Eric I believe are still processing the crime Scene"

"Still" Alexx put her hand on her hips.. "I thought they did that hours ago, it never takes Delko and Calleigh this long"

"must have found a lot, I don't know but I'm heading to DNA call if you find anything else"

"Ok baby" Alexx responded...

Ryan was still on the computer looking into data base for the car that was saw leaving the crime scene at the time of the crime, he was coming up with nothing, trying to find one car without ID on the plates was hard to do.

"Mr. Wolfe did we get anything on the vehicle?"

"Horatio" Ryan responded. "There are over 200 old black Ford models mustangs in Dade County, there is no way we can find the car were looking for" Ryan rumbled in frustration.. " I did ask Tripp to put out a broadcast on the vehicle in hopes someone spots the car"

"Good work Mr. Wolfe get back at me"

"H?" Horatio turned toward Ryan's direction. "Yes Ryan" "Have you heard from Cal or Delko I called both phones twice bu no answer, I would think they would be done processing a crime scene by now.

"Don't worry Mr. Wolfe, they may be very busy collecting evidence."

Horatio was becoming a little himself concerned, it had been almost 31/2 hours since he asked Eric to stay and process the scene. He knew Cal and Delko were his best and knew how to handle risky situation, but they would almost never miss a call from the other team members or him. Thinking he may be over reacting, Horatio too a deep breath something just didn't feel right about today.. Pulling his phone out of his pocket he decided to try there phones, no answer. There was definitely something wrong..
