Authors Note: Hello, all this will be my first time posting one of my stories on here. I have written several stories but have not had the courage to post them until my friend told me she had joined on here and did so. I have been reading several stories and decided to go ahead and post a couple of mine. So without further ado I hope that you like this story.

Horatio Caine looked at his watch and his eyebrows furrowed. He looked around the lab and didn't see the one woman he was looking for and he started to get worried. She has never been late to work before. He decided to leave his office and walk around the lab to see if he could spot her. After looking in the different parts of the lab for twenty minutes he didn't see her nor could he find her. For some reason he had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.

Horatio walked over to Calleigh Ducane. "Calleigh have you seen Natalia yet today?"

Calleigh looked up at Horatio while she shook her head no. "No, I haven't H. Have you tried calling her?"

Horatio nodded his head yes and said "I have tried both her home phone and cell phone. She isn't picking up either phone and I'm starting to get worried. She has never been late to work before without making sure to let me know."

Calleigh took out her cell phone and tried calling Natalia and when she got her voicemail she said "Hey Nat its Calleigh. When you get this give either H or me a call. We are worrying about you."

Calleigh shut her phone and shook her head as she looked at H. "Why don't I run by her house and you stay here? This way if she comes in you can call and let me know."

Horatio nodded his head and Calleigh quickly grabbed what she would need and walked out of the lab and to the elevator. Horatio closed his eyes and sent up a prayer that Natalia was alright. He really wished that they would have had the talk last night that he wanted to have. He should have told her what she meant to him. He decided that he needed to try to get some work done to get his mind off of the fact that he was worried sick about something being seriously wrong with Natalia.

Calleigh got to Natalia's house in record time. She was worried about her front. She shut her Hummer off and jumped out of it making sure that she had her side arm on her just in case she needed it. When she got close to Natalia's front door she saw that it was opened a little so she pulled her gun out.

Calleigh pushed the front door open a little more and called out "Natalia are you here?"

When Calleigh didn't get an answer she pushed the door open even wider. When she saw the front room her eyes went wide in alarm. Natalia's living room was trashed and torn apart and she saw some blood on the floor.

Calleigh quickly pulled out her cell phone and called for backup. "This is CSI Calleigh Ducane. I need backup at CSI Natalia Boa Vista's house STAT."

After Calleigh hung up with them she dialed Horatio and as soon as he picked up she said "H, I just called for backup at Natalia's house. Her living room is trashed and I'm not sure about the rest of it. I haven't made a sweep through yet."

Horatio drew in a deep breath before replying with "I'm on my way Calleigh. Stay outside until you have some sort of backup rather it's a police officer or one of our team."

Calleigh sighed because she really wanted to go through the house and see if her friend was inside. "Alright Horatio but hurry up and get here. I'm really worried about her H."

After Horatio hung up with Calleigh he quickly called Eric and Wolfe and after telling them what was going on they agreed to meet him at Natalia's house. He then grabbed the keys to his Hummer and rushed out of the lab. He decided to forgo the elevator and take the steps.
