A/N: Hey so I was challenged to do this one-shot about Horatio talking to Ivan Sarnoff, the Russian mob boss. So here is a one-shot about our favorite Lt. talking to the mob boss about some photographs found at one of Ivan hench men's house. Kyle will be mention, but unlike my other stories he is not the focus of the one-shot (That was the challenge I couldn't focus the story on Kyle and everyone knows I like to write Horatio and Kyle stories.) Living on a prayer last chapter up shortly......

WARNING: Slight spoilers for an upcoming episode of CSI:Miami. Slight but not all story is spoiler, I added some parts in myself. Also I do no own CSI:Miami and I do not profit from any of this so please don't report me.....

Threat

He sat at the table waiting for Ivan to be brought into the interrogation room. The folder was closed on the table, hiding what he had come to see Ivan for. The guard brought Ivan into the room, chained and sat him down on the stair across from The Lt.

Ivan Sarnoff was a Russian "Mob" boss and Horatio's number one enemy. Ivan was behind some of the recent murders in the Russian community and just recently put in jail. But that didn't stop him from ordering his dirty work from behind bars. Horatio was here to see him about photo's that were brought to his attention by Ryan and Eric. Photo's of the team had been found at one of Ivan's hench men's house and Horatio wanted answers. These pictures showed the team busy working at crime scenes and their activities off duty.

Ivan smirked at Horatio, he seemed to know what this impromptu meeting was all about:

"So Lt. I see you've found your way back to me." Ivan shifted in his seat, his smirked still on his face.

Horatio held his composure, but the urge to attack Ivan welled inside of him. Horatio looked down at the folder and proceeded to open it. Taking the photo's out of the folder and placing them one by one on the table so that they were all visible. Once he was down placing all the photo's on the table, Horatio looked up at Ivan, he didn't need to speak his face said it all.

Ivan picked up the photo's one by one, when he was done he begin to laugh,"These are some nice pictures Lt. What do they have to do with me?"

"These pictures were recovered from a suspect's home. We did some digging Ivan, and the person who took these pictures is on your pay roll. I'm going to give you a chance to explain these photo's and the meaning behind them before we talk to your worker. Ivan, I'll choose my words wisely if I was you."

"Lt. I'm not intimidated by your threatening words. I don't have to explain myself or my actions. We can sit here in silence, because I'm not telling you anything."

"You know Ivan-" Horatio started.

"No let me tell you Lt. You've met your match in me. I'm not one of those criminals that lets you control them and their actions. Now those photo's were taken for a reason, a reason that I am not at any bearing to mention, just know that there are many eyes on your team, eyes that are waiting for them to make a mistake so that the eyes can strike."

"Is that a threat Ivan?" Horatio looked in Ivan's eyes.

"Oh no Lt. what's going to happen to you is far more greater than what is going to happen to your team. You see your team will be taken out one by one, but you Lt. we're going to slowly ruin your life."

"How so?" Horatio sported a tough face.

"Get the wax out of your ear Lt. I just told you I am not at liberty to say."

"Well Ivan I'll be waiting for you."

"You won't even see it coming."

"So your not going to tell me why these photo's were taken?" Horatio brushed the threat off.

"Not without something being offered to me, like a deal."

"I'm not at liberty to offer you one Ivan." Horatio put the photo's back in the folder and stood up and walked towards the door.

"He has blond hair doesn't he Lt? Your son looks just like you. I've seen these photo's of this blond haired boy about 16 years old and I must say the apple does not fall too far from the tree. There's photo's of him leaving school, skateboarding with friends, shopping with his mother and oh my favorite him leaving the crime lab with dad. Oh there's many photo's of him, many that have been distributed to a lot of men waiting for the hit to be ordered. I hear the bounty is going to draw in about 3 million dollars, that's a lot of money. A lot of perspective hit men willing to earn that cash."

Horatio stopped in his tracks, Ivan continued,"I wonder how they are going to kill him? Do you think that they'll torture him and make him beg for his life before he takes his last breath? Or will they just shoot him and claim their prize? What do you think Lt.?

Horatio turned around to face Ivan, his anger was evident in the tone of his voice,"Ivan if anything happens to my son, I will kill you. I will kill anyone who even thinks about going after-"

"Kyle?" Ivan showed no fear.

Horatio had to retrain himself,"I will kill you Ivan if anyone of your men touch my son you understand?"

"Well I don't know Lt, Kyle he looks so inviting. He seems like such a good friend."

"Heed my warning Ivan." Horatio stormed out of the room, Ivan's laugh boomed from behind the closed door.

Horatio stopped at the end of the hall to catch his breath, the news was shocking there was photo's of his son in the hands of criminal's.

Ivan was being escorted out of the room when he spotted the Lt. at the end of the hall,"Kyle Harmon-Caine son of Lt. Horatio Caine. Kyle lives on 24 Windbury street with his mother Julia Winston. He attends Scared Heart Private school and loves biology. He skateboards at the local skatepark and he loves to play basketball. He visits his father on weekends and loves to draw. I know it all Lt. I know it all." Ivan continued to shout information about Kyle until he was no longer in Horatio's site.

Once Ivan was gone Horatio took out his phone and dailed Julia's number:

"Julia I need you to take Kyle out of school now and bring him to the crime lab."

THE END

Hey I did not give too much away, Horatio will be meeting with the mob boss but I do not know what they will be discussing. Everything that I wrote above is completely fictional. I will not I repeat not add more chapters to this was a ONE-SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel I write the same sort of story-line (Kyle in danger) and I don't want to go that route for my next 25 chapter story.
