Alright so I actually was surprised that I got reviews on my first chapter! It feels so good to be back so thank all for your support! Here is chapter two!

The team had spent hours on the scene picking up any kind of evidence they could. Horatio took Calleigh back to the lab to help Trip try to track and pick up any old cell data from Eric's phone. He knew she would be no good in the field right now. The sun was starting to set when Ryan had finally found a blood stained bullet out in the grass. It was fully intact and by the looks of it was from Eric's fire arm. The team headed back to the lab once Horatio had come back and declared it had been searched thoroughly enough. The team all went back to their vehicles while Horatio stayed back for a moment. "We're coming for you Eric, hang in there" he said under his breath as he walked back to his Hummer.

"Cal?" Natalia said gently as she walked in the lab where Calleigh was seated flipping back and forth between slides. She kept going without acknowledging Natalia's presence. Natalia frowned. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to be there and have your team mate taken away without being able to stop it.

"Find anything new?" Calleigh muttered without looking up from the photo she was currently examining. Natalia placed the evidence bag on the table without saying a word. It took a moment but Calleigh finally looked up and made eye contact, and then down at the table. Something hitched in her heart as she saw the blood smudged bullet. Had Eric been shot? She got herself together mentally and picked up the edge of the bag and felt a sigh of relief when she saw it was from Eric's issued weapon. "So the round we heard fired was from Eric. That doesn't help much." Calleigh concluded as she sat back down into her chair still holding the bag, rolling the bullet over between her gloved fingers.

Natalia paused for a moment trying to think of something encouraging to say. She had nothing. She knew just as well as Calleigh did that it really didn't help. Instead she changed the subject. "I thought you were helping Trip with the cell data" Natalia said while bravely taking a seat next to Calleigh. She flipped back to the same image as before and ran it through the system. The photo she had taken of the gang sign.

"I was, but then I got this feeling that I could be doing more." Calleigh paused and pointed at the screen that was currently comparing the photo to different signs a mile a minute. "This was the gang sign I talking about. Ryan is pretty positive that it's the Muerte Trae, I'm running it to see if it matches." She stated simply as her voice trailed off. A match.

"Muerte Trae" Natalia began to read off the screen, "A Cuban based gang, typically centered around Miami. Past crimes tied to Muerte Trae: Murder of Jonathen Chavez. Murder of Leo Despez. Murder of Ryan Jones. Murder of John Reese." Natalia read off the list of murders. Further down it stated that the men convicted for these murders never admitted their ties to the crimes but all had the same matching gang tattoo's on their forearms. Calleigh began to pull up each of the convicted men's files to look for anything that might help them find Eric. Natalia stayed for another hour before heading home. The next day came by and Calleigh was in the same chair, wearing the same outfit. The only thing that had changed was the three coffee cups that sat next to her on the counter. Natalia stood outside the glass wall and watched her for a moment. Ryan came and stood next to her.

"She's been like that for at least an hour now" Wolfe said quietly as not to disturb her. Natalia turned to look at him. "She's been like that since I left last night" Natalia stated matter of factly. Ryan shook his head. He knew it was hitting her hard. She cleaned herself up before the team arrived when he had first gotten taken. He remembered her looking at him while she wiped her cheek with the back of her hand and saying 'Don't you dare tell them' in a raspy toned voice. Ryan just shook his head knowingly. They were good that way. They always had an understanding of each other.

They left together and headed back to the lab to examine more of the evidence found to find Eric. The initial crime scene had been put on hold as the John Doe had no identity and no family ties that they could find. They had all hands on deck to find Delko. Seeing as it was already day two, things were not looking good.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The Next Day XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was 3:32 AM, Calleigh had hardly slept in the past two days. She had been going through the profiles of any past offender and any person in general she could fine in affiliation with the Muerte Trae. Something in her gut told her that this was the place to look. The way Eric looked at the gang sign and they way he raised his eye brow when Ryan said it aloud meant something. She had gone through 38 profiles so far and then finally, she found something.

Vladimir Borislav

Age: 38

Formally a member of the Russian Mafia, converted to the Muerte Trae in 2000.

A Russian man in a Cuban gang… 'That makes no sense' Calleigh thought to herself. She paused and her eyes darted open. It all finally made sense. She snatched the papers and files off her desk and ran as fast as her feet would carry her to Horatio's office. She knew it was early but she had to tell someone. She reached his office and opened his door without knocking, partially because she didn't think he would be in, and partially because she didn't care at this point. Horatio rose from his seat and looked at the hectic agent before him. "Calleigh…" He asked calmly and then looked down at all of the papers she had clutched to her chest.

"I know who took Eric and I know how to find them." She spilled, her face now pink and her breathing finally catching up to her. He sat back down in his chair and motioned to the chair across from him for her to sit. She stepped forward and laid them all out handing him different papers and pointing out several details. He took it all in. They would formulate a plan and go into action later that day. Help was finally on its way.

Alright guys so just to clear things up, if you remember, Eric's dad was in trouble with the Russian mob in season 7. So that is where the random Russian name comes in to play. Just a little help for anyone who hasn't watched in a while! Next chapter will all be about Eric and what has been going on these past three days! Please Review!
