now living with Horatio and she's six month pregnant, remember? she decided to keep the baby and they would have to wait the delivery to know if they're both going to make it.
Orange skies, beautiful sunny and hot summer's day. Two high old factories, light passing through the broken windows, crows perching on the metal pieces here and there.The freshening of inside and the heat from outside. Silence like in one of this cathedral. Few pieces of woods on the floor, pieces of paper flying around back and forth, metal chains clicking against metal polls near the door.
"Do you know where they are?"
"No I was running too...ok what we do now?"
"Wait and wait I suppose"
"Yeah right but it's getting late"
"I don't mind I want to win this time"
"Well my mum doesn't care about who's the winner"
Suddenly two shadows cover their bodies behind them,both boys turned around and lift their hands up.
"Alright guys you won..again"
"Yes we diiiid"
"So can we go home now?"
"Hey seems like Junior is afraid of mummy!"
"Shut up, you're 17, I'm only 12"
"No kidding junior...come'on let's go"
The four boys are walking, the younger ones on the front and the two older ones just behind them,when Jason one of the two older boys look at his friend and wink to him and nod it to the other looking at the weapon in his hand. He step back and fire his paint ball gun just on the younger heels. The two young ones start yelling and jumping side to side.
"Ahahahah you guys are so funny jumping like that..oh God"
"Oh come on Travis, mummy s not going to be happy, baby junior pissed in his pant"
"Shut up you bastard"
Kevin the other young kid armed his gun and pointed to Travis. He shoot him directly to his stomach and start running.
"Come on run..see now you're not laughing uh idiot"
"Ahahahahah"
Travis was on the ground holding his stomach, the other one Riley start running after the two boys. No one saw anything coming, Kevin fall and landed on his knees and face,sliding on the red sand.Junior came back to him,worry abput his friend which seems to be in pain.
"Did he shoot you?"
"No I stumblw over something..I don't know what"
Riley now catch up with them.
"So guys you don't even know how to run properly uh"
Junior was looking around and behind the tall boy.
"Hey it was just a rope, it's just bury in the ground"
"Well it's like a hook and that's where I fell"
Now Travis has joined them. Because boys are boys and always looking for any treasure, Junior start digging with his hand to grab the rope and pull out on it even more until more rope jolt from under the ground.
"Alright dude, we're going .if you guys wants to stay and try to find the big treasure go ahead..enjoy..and Kevin don't forget dad is waiting, he has a dinner this evening and he wants us to be ready..let's go Jason"
"Ok, revenge is waiting Kevin"
Both of kids were so engrossed in their discovery, they didn't even hear what the two others said before leaving.They were following the rope inch by inch,sure that they will find a big treasure at the end. The end of the rope was here and under a big metal trash box. Kevin slides his hands under it and heard a click, he still and froze.
"Ohhh shit.!"
"What?"
"I have my hand on a kind of a button and it clicked...Junior do something help me"
"Ok ok ok...you think it's a bomb?"
"I don't know but please call my brother or my dad,please please please..."
"Ok ok ok..I call the police ok?"
Fifteen minutes after the call, two patrols car were there and a bomb unit too. The police officers were talking to Junior and the bomb squad agent where with Kevin. They moved the box which was over Kevin's hand and bent down beside the boy. They took a closer look at the bomb. They did their job and after Kevin went in safe place the bomb squad men made the black box exploded. One of the guy was examining the hole made by the bomb and noticed something else.
"Hey chief"
"What's up Gil?"
"Seems like we have an other rope's end here"
"I'm coming"
He went with his guy and bent down and grabs the end.
"Don't tell me we have an other puzzle game here"
"We'll know soon enough"
Both mens like the young boys earlier followed the rope and after few km they found the other extremity.
"Looks like this one is deeper"
"Start digging just don't pull out too hard on it"
"Yes sir"
They were three digging with shovel and stop abruptly.
"I think we've got the end"
Slowly and carefully now they were removing the sand from the hard bottom they just reached.Two of them stood up, disgusted, the other one stay there on the ground,nothing he never seen before...a dead body.
"Oh man that's.."
"Yeah..well I think we have to call the CSI now, don't you agree chief?"
"Oh yes we did our part..."
Horatio's apartment.
Horatio was at work and Calleigh was home, resting,doctor orders. She didn't like it but was ready to do anything possible to keep their baby and thinking a little about her life. It was afternoon and she was laying on the couch. Earlier today she was feeling a little dizy and nauseous but when Horatio called to check on her, she didn't say anything. Just a little thing and Horatio would be there asap. In her head she choose to keep the baby so she had to be strong and she will never admit her fears and God only knows how scare she was and front of him she couldn't afford to be weak.The phone rang again.
"Horatio I told you I'm fine"
"Ok...but it's me Alex and not Horatio"
"Oh sorry Alex"
"Seems like you're edgy a little bit no?
"No I'm not ,but he just call me like every hour since this morning"
"Don't you think he has good reason to be worry?"
"Alex if we have to live in fears every singles days until I give birth,we'll never going to make it"
"Calleigh..honey...we're all worry about you and we have all proof that it can turn badly at the end"
"Old same Alex, straight to the point"
"Do you expect less from me?"
"No of course no.so are you calling to check on me as well?"
"That and see if I could pay you a visit and maybe take a little walk on the beach later today?"
"OOHHHH that will be nice, I'm suffocating here"
"Alright so I come around 6 ok?"
"Ok Alex and thank you"
"You're welcome.bye"
Calleigh now stood up and holds her tummy, she goes to the bathroom, checking on her scar that did cause all of this, it was itchy and she just put some cream on it. She then went back to the living room but just before she reach the couch she almost collapse, feeling her legs suddenly like cotton, at the last moment she grabs the counter in the kitchen, she walks slowly and sit down on the chair.
"Uh God, please don't do that to me now"
Back to the old factories area.
Horatio walk past the cordon and straight to Frank who was standing just beside the hole with the body in sight.
"What we've got Frank?"
"For a change a body, it seems like it stayed there for a while now"
"Alex is on her way she should be here any minutes now"
"An old abandoned factory zone and a body.."
"And a bomb"
"A bomb Frank?"
"Yeah see those kids there? they found the bomb,squad came in, did their jobs...found the body"
"No casualties?"
"No just a bid adventure for the kids to tell at school"
"mmh mmh, alright Eric is taking care of the field with Boa Vista and Alex.."
"I'm here,sorry been stocked on the highway"
"No problem ma'am"
He walks with Alex to the hole.
"So did you call?"
"Mmh mmh she seems fine Horatio"
"I just think she wants to be strong when I'm with her and then she goes down after I left"
"Maybe maybe not Horatio but I'll go visit her after my shift and we'll see, it will be a good idea if you give me an hour before you go home.."
"And you can feel how she is really"
"Mmh mmh exactly, don't worry we've got her back right?"
"Of course we do..ok let's see our body now"
"That's why I'm here"
Horatio's apartment
Calleiigh was trying to breathe normally and stay calm but she is sweaty and shakes a little. She feels the baby moving now a lot and caress her stomach trying to appease her unborn child...but nothing..something is wrong. And what she really didn't need now was the knock on the door. She get up slowly and went to open it.
"Dad!"
"Hey,how is my little girl's doing?"
"I'm I'm fine dad,come in"
She let him in and closed the door, she turn and follow her father in the living room, she's trying to have a better and smiling face for him.
"Do you want coffee or tea, a juice?"
"Water,yes water will be fine"
Calleigh went back to the kitchen, like there was no separation between living room and the kitchen it was impossible for her to hide her pain or take a breath. Her father notice that something was wrong and she's not acting like usual.
"Hey you're ok?"
"I told you dad i'm fine"
"Doesn't seems that way Calleigh"
She came back and put the glass on the table front of her father. Then she sat on the opposite chair.
"Calleigh,you'll tell me if something was wrong right? I mean after all it's not like you were having a normal pregnancy.."
"Dad..dad...it's ok...we're ok...did you need anything?"
"What? what do you mean?"
"I mean did you came all this way to see how I was doing?"
"Of course, you're my daughter, and I'm worry about you"
"Dad I'm fed up that everyone is checking on me, how do you want me to feel good and act normal if every hour someone call or come in here to check on me? uh?" She suddenly grabs her side where the scar was and clench her teeth, Duke came quickly to her side and put his hand on her knee.
"Calleigh, what's wrong?"
"No... nothing..just go"
"What? you want me to go? I can see you're in pain,I'm not going to let you alone"
Calleigh stood up and went straight to the door and open it for him.
"Please go...just go"
"Cal.."
"I don't need that"
Her father stood up and walk to the door and stop before he walk by.
"You're not good"
"I'm better already..I talk to you soon"
"Yeah...bye sugar"
She closed the door and lock it behind her, as soon as the door was secured she slide along it and start crying.
