Spoiler Alert for Mayday
A/N: The first chapter is just a recap of what happened at the end of Mayday. Chapter 2 is where the actual story starts off.
Chapter 1- We got Fooled
Horatio and Natalia pulled up in the Hummers. Slowly, they both got out, guns loaded.
"Toller's plan for the plates went south. I wonder if Randy is still planning to meet him here?" asked Natalia.
"Rest assured that if he kept a pair for himself, he's going to sell them." Said Horatio. "I wo-" He was cut off abruptly as a sound of a gunshot rang through the air.
Natalia turned around just in time to see Horatio fall.
"Horatio? Horatio!" she cried in panic, running to him.
"Stay down! Stay down!" she looked around frantically searching for the shooter, her own weapon at the ready.
"Can you tell me where you're hit? Where are you hit?" Horatio fell onto his side and grunted with pain.
She tried in vain to search for the wound, but was suddenly hit on the back of the head with a blunt object. Her vision went black and she was vaguely aware she was being dragged away from Horatio. When she opened her eyes, she was lying in the trunk of a car. Randy stood over her, a pistol in his hand and a wild, desperate look on his face.
"They split up my kids. Austin is in Fort Myers, and Patty is with a family in Boca Raton. They don't even have each other now!" he yelled at her, the gun shaking in his grasp.
"It's not my fault-" said Natalia, trying to defend herself.
"Everyone keeps telling me that, but I've lost everything!" he screamed, becoming more enraged with each passing moment. "I did it all and it didn't matter!"
Several yards away, Horatio remained on the ground, struggling to see. The pain radiating from his abdomen was intense, blurring his vision. He could barely make out the figure of Randy standing over the back of a car.
He heard Randy screaming. "You promised to help me!"
"I tried to help you!" Natalia answered, now desperate. "I believed you could change. Don't do this. You can't come back from this."
"This is what everyone becomes when you strip it all away and you leave them with nothing!" Then Randy slammed the trunk of the car down.
Natalia started to panic, calling out, "Randy! Randy, no! Please don't do this!"
Gritting his teeth, Horatio tried his best to ignore the pain, forcing himself up into a somewhat standing position, close enough to where he could get a shot at Randy. He fired several times, missing all the shots. Randy fired one in return then ran away. Spent, Horatio collapsed once more, watching helplessly as the car began rolling toward the Atlantic, with his CSI in the trunk.
Natalia banged on the top of the trunk with all her might, but it was useless. She grabbed her phone as the car plummeted into the sea. She tried to call Eric once, then a second time. Neither of the calls went through. She then started to cry, scream, and bang as hard as she could, trying to pop the trunk open. With water filling up half of the trunk, she thought, "This is it. This is the end."
A/N: I paused it exactly when H got shot and it was the lower right abdomen. Yeah review, so I know whether or not to post the second chapter.
