----------------------

After the somewhat shocking discovery of a newborn infant outside the hospital, the team were effectively working two cases at the same time. The search for the drive by shooter from the hospital, and the search the mother of the abandoned baby.

"Any news on the newborn?" Horatio asked the doctor taking care of their little discovery.

"Seems healthy enough, a little bit small, so she may be premature…but she's easily less than twenty four hours old….maybe less than twelve…"

Horatio nodded, "Alright…so our missing mother can't have gone too far…" he hmmed as his phone rang, "Excuse me…yes Calleigh?"

"Those rounds we recovered from the hospital Horatio? Eastern European military grade ammunition.." she paused, "Oh hang on…Delko wants a word with you…"

Horatio nodded, turning back to look at the tiny infant they'd rescued, "Eric, you got something for me?"

"Yeah h, you're not going to believe this…but the uh…the blood spatter we found near the where that baby was found...we got a hit.." he paused, "it's definitely female…so it's most likely the mothers blood…but…there's a match in the system that isn't her.."

Horatio frowned, "Ok….who is it?"

There was a silence at the other end of the phone that seemed to last an absolute age, "H…it's you…the match is you…"

-------------

After Horatio headed straight back to the lab to double, even treble check Delko's findings, he found himself sat in his office, wondering why a relative of his was involved in such a shooting, let alone which relative?

"Hey Horatio…" Calleigh said, peering her head around the door, "You alright?"

Horatio nodded and looked up at Calleigh, "Mmm…just trying to piece together this little puzzle of ours…"

"Well…we may just have something…" she paused, "Patrol just called this in, a young woman has pulled a young woman out of the marina….she's alive…and some passers by said they saw a man pushing her in…"

Standing up, Horatio frowned, "She's got a gunshot wound?"

At Calleigh's nod, Horatio nodded and stood up, this young woman might not only be the abandoned baby's mother, but the only available witness to the shooting earlier on…

"Ok Calleigh…we'd best be paying the patient a visit then hadn't we?"

A/N: Ok so I know these are short chapter, and I'm hoping they're going to get longer as the story progresses, I really am. I only started watching CSI Miami a few short months ago, and I think I've got a pretty good grasp of how the show works and everything, and I hope I'm doing it justice here :D

Please R&R, and I really appreciate the reviews from the first chapter. :D
