A/N: For once Yelina isn't a part of this story. Yes, it's unbeliveble that she's not in it when i'm the author, but I want to write something different from what i usually do... The rating may change in following chapters but if it changes i'll tell you! Thanks to Lindsay-Rose (Gabi), my beta.

Disclaimer: No, i don't own CSI: Miami, or the characters, the only thing i really own is this story - and


The elevator doors opened and a woman walked out of the elevator. Susie Barnham was pretty well-known at Miami's CSI department, and as all the other times she visited the CSI's there, it was because she wanted to meet Horatio Caine, who just happened to be standing in reception
"Horatio!" Susie said and hurried towards him.
"Susie, what's wrong?"
"It's Madison, she's gone!"
"Gone? Are you sure she's not just at a friends place or something?" he asked, concern filling his voice.
Susie nodded.
"Okay Susie, when did you see her last time?"
"It was when I left her at school, I came back at half past one to give her a ride home before I had to get back to work, she was gone!"
"Have you talked to her teacher?"
"Yes, she was in school all day and left at the same time as all the others."
"Susie I'll find her, I promise you, but I need you to stay calm and tell me everything that can help me find her. Did she act strange or mention anything special these days?"
"No – or I don't know. Oh, gosh I can't remember Horatio!"
"It's ok, I'll find her. Take a seat over there, I need to make a phone-call."
Susie did as he told her and Horatio took his cell phone out of his pocket, and pressed a button on his speed dial.
"Duquesne."
"Calleigh, it's Horatio."
"What's wrong?" asked Calleigh at once.
Horatio didn't want to, but he couldn't help smiling at this, he hadn't said more than one sentence, and she already knew something was wrong. His colleagues knew him better than anyone else…
"You know my niece, Madison?"
"Yes…?"
"She's gone, I don't know what happened, but I have to find her. Take Eric with you down at the beach case , Alexx's already there examining the body."
"Horatio, I'm sorry, I really hope you find her."
"Thanks. I need to go, keep me posted about the case."
"You got it. Good luck."
Horatio ended the call and walked back to Susie.
She got up from the bench as she saw him coming, with a look that wondered what was going on.
"I want you to be at home, she might call you - or someo-…" He stopped a little too late.
"Or someone else…" She finished the sentence. Well done, now she feels a lot better, Horatio thought.
"I'll find her, but I want you to be at home, in case she gets home, or calls you."

Horatio parked his car and walked towards the school-building, which was almost empty, now all the classes had gone home for the day. A woman in her thirty's was waiting outside the building.
"Mrs. Johnston?" The woman nodded. "I'm Lieutenant Horatio Caine, the one you talked to on the phone."
"Yes… Oh, I can't understand what happened, Madison was in school all day… and suddenly her mother came asking for her, and I was so sure seeing her jumping in someone's car only minutes earlier. I took it for granted it was her mom's…"
"Wait a minute – you saw her leave the school with someone? Was it a female then, if you thought it was her mom?"
"I... I don't know, I think so… Oh god, I don't know! I couldn't see, the person was sitting in the car, and Madison just jumped in."
"Do you know what brand it was on the car? The colour?"
The teacher looked unsure, and was there something else in her eyes? Guilt?
"I can't remember what brand, but I think it was dark blue, or maybe even black…"
"Is there anything else you can remember? If she was talking to someone or something like that?"
"No… Not that I noticed, but I'm sure she was talking to some of her friends… Maybe Alice or Lily."
"Can you write down their names for me?" asked Horatio and gave her his notebook and a pencil. She took the notebook and pencil and wrote down a few names on it, and gave it back to Horatio.
"Thank you for your time, you've been very helpful." He said, took her hand and shook it.
"I'm glad I can to something right, when I can't even keep an eye on my students…"
"Don't be too hard to yourself." Horatio said. "If there's anything else you can think of, just give me a call." He gave her his card, and left.

This case looked more and more similar another in his past, a case he didn't want
to think of or even remind himself of. The case with Stewart Otis, and the little girl, Emma Kaye.

Eric, Calleigh and Ryan had all taken a break, Calleigh and Eric after much hard work at the beach, and Ryan a break from paperwork that never seemed to end. They all sat in the cafeteria, watching TV. They were watching the news and the reporter was talking about a big escape at the Miami detainment centre.
"Four prisoners escaped one hour ago from Miami detainment centre, they're armed, and dangerous. Three of them are well-known murderers, and the fourth is a registered paedophile…" The reporter asked people to call the number that were shown at the screen if they saw any of the escapers. Pictures of the fugitives were shown on the screen, faces the CSI's recognised too well, but at the last face Calleigh frowned. A picture of Stewart Otis flashed across the screen.


P.s I know it's short - but i wanted to end it like this... Next chapter will be longer. And don't forget to send reviews!!
