Living on a prayer

Living on a prayer is the sequel to a Faith in a Higher power. I am taking this story a couple of days after Kyle was taken from the hospital, Horatio and his team are working the case non-stop. Horatio has finally met his match in a serial killer, who has found a new way to torment Horatio. Kyle has woken up and things are going to get very interesting soon. Warning: this story is going to be very dark, I am going to be putting a new darker twist on the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own or have ever owned the name and character's from CSI:Miami, please do not confuse me with the writers of the show. This story is for fun nothing more nothing less.

Chapter One: Awaking to horror

"Dad, Dad." Kyle was beginning to wake up, the wet cold floor against his face and the constant dripping of the leaking pipe on the back of his neck, were beginning to have an effect on him. Managing to open his eyes, Kyle did not know where he was or how he got there, all he could remember was falling to the floor and his dad's voice. Turning his head to the side, Kyle noticed there was another person lying right next to him, a woman, whose mouth was bound and wrist tied. When he fully came to it, he realized that his wrist and legs were also tied. Turning away from the woman, Kyle noticed a man sitting at a table cleaning a gun, trying not to make a sound, Kyle assessed the table and saw the cell phone, if he could get to the phone and call his dad, he might be able to save this woman and himself. Kyle closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep planning his escape, he did not need this man to know he was awake.

AT The Crime Lab

Calleigh was going over all the information collected at the hospital. It has been over two days and she still could not bring herself to talk to Horatio. Horatio has been reclusive, staying mostly in his office, either going over paper work or staring off into space. Calleigh, and the other members of the team, wanted to give Horatio some time and space, most did not want to look at the gloomy outcome of the situation. Calleigh was rereading all the nurses eye-witness accounts, she was baffled as to how a patient could be taken from his bed and no one saw anything. After reading over them all, she came to the nurse who both Horatio and Calleigh were talking with. Looking over her statement, Calleigh noticed something:

"I was in the hospital on this floor all day and the previous night, I would have seen something."

Cross checking with the other nurses statements, Calleigh noticed that this nurse was the only nurse working that night, and the only nurse to check on Kyle all day. Why didn't Calleigh see it before, the nurse had something to do with Kyle's disappearance. Running to bring the information to Frank and Mack, Calleigh nearly knocked the woman coming towards her down. Reaching Franks office, Calleigh blurted out:

"I have a lead in Kyle's disappearance, we might be able to find him." She stopped to catch her breath.

Frank and Mack looked at Calleigh."Are you sure about this." Mack looked over the information in the folder.

"I am." Calleigh was happy, she knew what this meant for the team, but most importantly, she knew what it meant for Horatio.

"We need to follow this lead, Mack and I will go see a miss," Frank looked down at the paper,"Angela Ruby. Calleigh, you and Eric go and talk to Horatio, maybe we can find Kyle by the end of today or tomorrow." Frank looked over at Mack, both exchanged glances of uncertainty.

Back at the Warehouse

Kyle was still trying to figure out how he was going to get him and the women out of the warehouse, when he heard a moan. Opening his eyes, he looked over at the woman as she was beginning to open her eyes. Once she realized where she was at, she began to panic, Kyle, thinking of what his father might do in this situation, began to calm her down:

"Don't worry ma'am everything is going to be alright."

The woman, pushing the cloth out of her mouth with her tongue, replied,"How do you know everything is going to be alright?" Tears streamed down the side of her face.

"I know everything is going to be alright, because I'm going to get us out of here. I've noticed that there was a spare phone on the table over there, I am going to try to steal the phone and call my dad."

"Who is your dad?"

"My dad's name is-" before Kyle could finish his sentence his kidnapper replied:

"Horatio Caine."

Kyle looked up at the man and instantly recognized who he was,"Your that guy that kept following me in the mall when I was with my mom, your also the guy that was at my basketball games. What do you want from me."

Kyle's kidnapper smirked then replied,"I want you to get up and dial your fathers number, we are about to have some fun." After he completed his sentence, he grabbed Kyle by the shirt and dragged him towards the table. Once at the table, he picked up the cell phone and began to dial Horatios office number.

In Horatio's Office

Horatio didn't look up when Calleigh and Eric walked into the room; sensing the issue and not wanting to anger Horatio, Calleigh and Eric sat down in the chairs across from his desk and waited. Horatio finally looking up spoke:

"What do you want?" He sounded annoyed, as if bothered by their presence.

"How are you Horatio?" Calleigh was concerned by Horatio's appearance, he looked like he was not sleeping or eating.

"What do you two want?" Horatio completely ignored Calleigh's question.

Calleigh took a heavy breath before replying,"Horatio, we have a lead in Kyle's disappearance. Frank and Mack are going to go pick up the nurse that we spoke to in the hospital, apparently she might have something to do with his abduction from the hospital."

Horatio hated the word abduction, using that word to describe Kyle meant that he was never coming back,"What do you mean the nurse we spoke to in the hospital might of had something to do with my son's disappearance." Horatio put an emphasis on disappearance as if he was directing it to Calleigh; Calleigh sensed what Horatio was trying to do.

"The woman you and Calleigh spoke to in the hospital, a nurse Angela Ruby, said that she was there the whole night and was the only nurse to have checked on Kyle all day. Checking with the other nurses, Angela had voluteered to take another nurse's night shift so that she, the other nurse, can go to her mothers birthday party. If she was the only nurse to have checked on Kyle and the only nurse to have been on the floor that night, then she has to know something about Kyle's disappreance." Eric came to Calleigh's defense.

Before Horatio could respond to Eric's comment his phone rang, angered by his secretaries lack of following direction Horatio yelled:

"Mary, did I not say no calls?"

"I'm sorry sir, but I think your son is on the line."

Horatio looked at Calleigh and then at Eric, the phone was on speaker so both heard what Mary had just said. Horatio looked puzzled,"What do you mean my son is on the phone? Mary if this is some prank I do not think this is funny, tell who ever it is that if they do not stop harassing this police department, I will personally find them myself." Horatio pressed the button that turned off the speaker and disconnected himself from his secretary.

After hanging the phone up, he got another call from his secretary, annoyed he picked up the phone:

"Mary, I told you no calls!!" Horatio was angry.

Mary hesitated before she began,"Sir, the boy on the phone says his name is Kyle Harmon-Caine."Mary was new, hired right after Kyle's shooting.

Horatio paused for a moment, calming down Horatio replied,"Mary, asks this boy if he can name for me what I got Kyle when he won Most valuable player in basketball last year."

Mary switched over the line and was gone for about two minutes, returning she replied,"He said that you got him an autographed photo of Micheal Jordan."

Horatio dropped the phone, his son was awoke. Trying to regain his composure Horatio picked up the phone and told Mary to send the line through and trace the call. Waiting for Kyle to come through felt like an ethernity to Horatio, finally after a few moment Horatio heard his sons voice:

"Dad"

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Welcome to Living on a prayer.

A/n: I don't know if you guys noticed but Horatio is very mean in this chapter and he is going to get a whole lot meaner in the chapters to come, I hope you don't mind me going darker. Like I said at the end of A Faith in A higher power, this story and the killer has just gotten personal.
