Calleigh and Eric arrived at the lab, Calleigh pulled a cheeky grin when she felt Eric's hand slide over her bum in the elevator.
"Eric, I don't want to make this public yet."
"Haha, don't worry last time I checked there were no cameras in the lift."
"Smart ass" Calleigh pecked him on the cheek as she said it.

Horatio welcomed them, and also thanked them for coming in on such short notice. Luckily with Eric's expensive vodka Calleigh did not have a hangover at all.
"So what's going on H?" Eric asked.
"There have been a few leads, we had a hit on a traced call and we have an address, Ryan has already been there with the SQUAT, but I needed both him and Natalia at another location, Caldo has upgraded to a large scale gang. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys could go right through the place and get anything you can."

"No worries H we will grab our kits and head off" Calleigh said it with a convincing smile.
"Thank you guys; let's hope we can catch these fools before they kill someone else." Horatio was disappointed that it was taking longer than usual to find the gang.

Calleigh and Eric turned up to the address, it was an old construction building, obviously a big company that started building but ran out of money, it was often seen in the area.
"Looks like someone dug their heels in too deep huh; this place has been her forever!" Eric chuckled.
"They should really look into things like that before starting to build apartments. So....what are we actually looking for?" Calleigh kicked some fibro to clear the door way.
"Like H said everything and anything! Some DNA would be great; maybe we can identify one of the barstards! " Eric flicked on his torch as they entered inside the dark building, Calleigh did the same.
"Oh God, it's so stuffy in here." Calleigh coughed.
"I'm going to go up to the roof ok, you right to stay down here?"
"Yeah I fine thanks Eric, let me know if you find anything" she smiled at him; Eric smiled back and stared to climb the half collapsed stairs.

Calleigh was checking around the room, she had already done two but had found nothing. They must have been good, cleaned up after themselves wiped off prints, but there had to be something that they left behind. Calleigh's face then beamed with a smile, she spotted a beer bottle under the dusty sofa, as she went to grab the bottle she felt and gloved hand go over her mouth, and a sharp yank that threw her into a tight grip. Calleigh screamed, as a natural reaction, but it was silenced by the gloved hand. She reached for her gun, but there were more hands stopping her from doing anything.
"Shhh beautiful, don't wanna make your lovely partner come down here do we?" a low husky voice whispered into her ear.
Calleigh threw her head back hitting the other man in the face; her throat was swollen from where the man's arm was squeezes against it, so screaming was not an option. She ran for the stairs, but again another body grab her, the man's force was to strong and he plummeted Calleigh's toned but tiny frame into a concrete pole. Her right side slammed against it, Calleigh heard the crack that came from her waist when the man's weight pushed against her, and then her head slammed against the spiky concrete. Calleigh could feel her face burning, and then it went black.

Meanwhile, Eric was on the rooftop, he heard the shouting coming from the doorway. He lent over the edge and saw two big built men, and then he saw the sight that made his stomach turn and bile flood to his throat. Calleigh, limp and lifeless was being carried by the taller man, her beautiful blonde hair was painted with her fresh blood, and she was white as a ghost.
"STOP POLICE!" Eric's voice thundered down to the men.
The man not carrying Calleigh pointed up a gun and started to shoot, Eric dodge the tiny little speck of bullet coming towards him and fired back, but they were all ready at the black van. Eric stumbled down the collapsed side of the building and ran; his heart was pounding, tears in his eyes. All he could see was the van escaping.
"CALLEIGHH!!! NOOOOOO!!!" Eric screamed.

Eric jumped into the hummer. Horatio's number already dialled, he screamed down the phone to him all the details, he was too busy driving. The car was scooping up into the gears, revving hard. He was catching up to the van, his heart stopped when he saw it race through a four way intersection, it just escaped. Though Eric was not as lucky, he looked to his left and saw a sedan skidding towards him, and the car thrashed into the side of the hummer Eric felt the bang of the airbags into his face it felt like his failure was slapping him. He regrouped himself and what had just happened, he got out and checked the man in the other car, it wasn't a high speed impact, the damage wasn't too bad. The man was ok as well. Eric got straight back on the phone.
"Horatio, I need you hear NOW." Eric was shaking.

"We lost him!"
Calleigh could hear the man's voice again. She moaned and opened her eyes. A scary looking man was staring at her.
"Wow, you really do have beautiful eyes." The man stroked the side of Calleigh's face as he said it.
Groggily Calleigh threw a punch at him, but failed. He grabbed her forearm and threw her against the side of the van, she screamed at the pain, the whole right side of her body felt like a car was parked on it. She couldn't breathe and she could feel blood making its way up her throat.

"OI! CUT IT OUT!!! Just give her the injection" the driver protested.
Calleigh was now starting to lose consciousness again, she felt a tight grip on her and then the sting of a needle. The man held her head in his hands.
"There you go lovely, something to calm you down a little, don't ever try that with me again!" the man's voice was deep and cruel.

Calleigh's eyes rolled into the back of her head, and all was black.
All she wanted was Eric.
