Dylans POV

2 days ago it was my birthday and it was the best birthday ever. Now here I am 2 days later sitting on the sofa watching tv with my mum and 16 yr old brother Danny, dad's at work and seans asleep.I'm sitting on Danny's lap watching UFC football it was the yankees vs the Bulls. Then I heard the door open and a man wearing a black ski mask and dressed all in black walked through the door with a bag in his hand. There was a baseball bat in the coner he picked it up and hit Danny over the head, knocked him out cold. My mum jumped on him and he punched her,she fell to the floor, walked around the sofa and pulled me off of Danny's lap and started dragging Danny into the closet then he turned round and lunged for me and grabbed me and put me in the he threw in he locked it with a chair under the doorknob,my mum got up and started yelling "Let my kids out of there!". I could see everything froma crack in the door front. The man put his bag on the floor opened it and pulled out a knife. Grabbed my mum and stabbed her 3 times in the stomach and she fell to the started to pool out over the floor. The man walked in to sean's room with the knife dripping with blood.

I didnt hear anything more until my dad walked in home from work with Horatio shouting "Sarah?, Dylan?, Danny?, anybody home?" I was to scared to answer him. The next minute black ski mask man walked out of sean's room. My dad saw him and he shouted " who are you? and what are you dooing in my house?" then he saw my mum "oh Sarah, what did you do to her?" he sobbed and ran to her. Black ski mask man started walking towards my dad, my dad stood up, he stabbed my dad 3 times in the chest and he fell to the floor.

Everything went quiet the man with the ski mask and stared at what he had ,very slowly he started walking towards the closet and he took the chair away from under the doorknob,opened the door and pulled me out and threw me to the floor and i dont remeber what happened after that because i hit my head on the hardwood floor except that i found myself in the closet again.

All of a sudden i hear Horatio's voice shouting "Miami Dade Police Department!" as soon as I heard that I jumped up and started banging on the door shouting "Horatio!, Eric!, Tripp!, Calleigh!, Alexx!, let me out please!,let me out".Then I saw a blue suit and the suit knelt down, I knew it was horatio. I heard the chair being pulled out from under the door knob, the door opened and I jumped into Horatio's arms.(Him&Tripp were like my 2nd dads) Eric, Calleigh, and Alexx were standing behind him sheilding me from my parents body's.I felt Horatio's arms tighten around me, Calleigh knelt down and took me out of Horatio's arms and hugged. Eric and Alexx hugged while I was still in Calleigh's arms. I stepped out of Calleigh's arms and went back into Horatio's, he took out his phone and put it to his ear and for an ambulance to come to 886 Hibiscus Island for Danny. Horatio picked me up bridal style and carried me out of that place. He carried me out the front door and put me in the back of his hummer and drove me to the lab to be asked the notorius questions, on the way there, there was nothing I had the energy to do except stare out the wind sheild. I knew Horatio was staring at me with a upset/worried exspression as to why I was'nt crying or freaking out or both because I didnt have the energy to freak out or cry or both, so I just stared.

When we got to the lab Horatio got me out of the car and led me inside to the reception were we met Tripp and he hugged then knelt down and hugged me and said he was sorry for my loss. Then Tripp and Horatio talked for a while then Horatio started to lead me to the interogation room to ask me what what I saw.

He sat me down on one side of the table and he sat opposite me and said "Dylan, I know your scared but I need to ask you some questions, is that all right?" i nodded "yeah" " ok, well first i want you to try and descibe the man that came into your house, ehat he looked like,what he was wearing, ok?" "yeah, um he was wearing a black ski mask,a black t-shirt and black jeans and he was quite tall with a very deep voice" "ok thats good is there anything else you can tell me?" "um after he killed my parents he uh kinda stood there for a minute and sortof looked at what he had done then he came to the closet and grabbed me out of it and knocked me to the floor and i hit my head", " but Dylan, where did you get those bruises ?" "he , um hurt me" "how did he hurt you Dylan?". "Um, he started hitting me all over" Horatio and I looked at my arms and I was covered in bruises "ok thats good that'll help us catch the man who did this" I nodded. "But Dylan im soo sorry to tell you that that man killed your little brother sean im so sorry". He got up and hugged me.

Horatio sent me with Eric and Calleigh to be processed. They took pictures of my bruises and checked for finger prints a couple of my bruises were hand shaped.

A few days later Danny got out of hospital and after a while they caught the monster that took most of my family away from me, his name was Frank Goutierez and he was apart orf the Mala Nochethe most dangerous gang in Miami. He had the blackest eyes I've ever seen and they charged him with the murders of my family. My testimony was the last nail in the coffin and he was going down.

Horatio took me to the trial I gave my testimony and the jury went off into the other 10 minutes later they came back in with a verdict "Jury have you reached a decided verdict?" "yes your honor" "Jury how do you find the defendant Frank Goutierez?" "we find him guilty of murder in the first degree 9and suggest you give him 8 years based only on the ramblings of a child". " By a unanimous verdict we find the defendant Frank Goutierez guilty of murder in the first degree and we sentance him to 8 years imprisonment" BANG! went the hammer."WHAT!"exclaimed the courtroom."SILENCE IN COURT!" yelled the judge,"All rise"said the security guard.

After everything that happened Horatio took Danny and me in for 3 years while Danny was in Police Academy then we moved to New York were Danny got a Job as a Csi. But Horatio and Tripp were like dads to me and i missed them

that was 6 years ago

In New York

we've stayed here for a few weeks now and it was going great then Danny had to unload this bombshell out on me. "Dylan, I think you should move in with uncle charlie and cousin Bella" "omg cool!... wait why?" "because i'm not around and you need structure, you need a normal life instead of being surrounded by cops all the time". I loved my brother and i understood what he was trying to say "I'll never have a normal life, but ok i'll move it'll be fun i havent seen uncle Charlie in forever!" " dont argue with me!... wait what did you just say?" "I said i'll go" ok i'll arange it now" "wait!" i called going after him "what?" " I'm driving there" "ok thats fair".
