Power Struggle Chapter 3
"Hello?" said Horatio walking towards the girl. She backed away even further.
"Dragon!" was all that she was able to say.
"I'm not going to hurt you." said Horatio. She seemed to calm a little. "What is your name?"
"Cari." she said.
"Well, Cari, why are you hiding in here?" Horatio asked.
"I don't want to see the dragon." she said.
"Who is the dragon?" Eric asked.
"He has wings. My daddy said that I had to help him or he would . . " she stopped.
"It's alright!" said Horatio holding out his hand. She grabbed it and walked out with him.
"Horatio!" said Valera looking at the Cari. "The blood we found was Alexx's."
"Thank you!" he said leading Cari to a room. She sat in the chair and looked up at Horatio.
"Did the dragon take her?" she asked.
"I think he did." said Horatio. "Do you know where the dragon lives?"
"No, but my daddy works with the dragon." said Cari.
"Can you tell me where you live?" Horatio asked.
"I live by the school." said Cari.
"What school?" Horatio asked.
"The big one, that has lots of big students." Cari replied.
"Miami Dade University!" said Horatio. She nodded. "Does your mom work there?"
"Yes, she teaches history." said Cari. "She is at the school right now."
"Thank you, Cari." said Horatio. "I am going to have an officer stay with you ok, and I will come back soon to check on you."
"Ok!" she said smiling.
Horatio left the room with Eric following.
"Lets go see what Calleigh and Ryan found." said Horatio. They headed to the evidence locker where Calleigh and Ryan had just got done evaluating the evidence.
"Did you find anything?" Horatio asked.
"Nothing!" said Calleigh. "What about you?"
"We may have the wife of someone who works with out killer." said Horatio. "She is a history teacher at Miami Dade University."
"Alright!" said Calleigh. "Lets check it out."
They all headed to the University. Horatio talked to the headmaster to find out that the womens name was, Elizabeth Black. They found her in her classroom working on some paperwork after class.
"Mrs. Black?" Horatio asked.
"I'm busy, your going to have to come back later." she said without looking up.
"Do you know where your daughter is?" he asked. She stopped her work and looked up.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"My name is Horatio Caine, and I found your daughter huddled in a corner of my crime lab." he said.
"I don't know how she got inside her lab, she was in the daycare center here at the university." said Elizabeth.
"We were thinking that her father came to get her." said Calleigh.
"I don't really talk to her father much." she replied.
"Do you know who your husband works for?" Horatio asked.
"I'm not sure. " she said. "I have heard about him, but I never met the man."
"I believe he has kidnapped my Medical Examiner, and I need to know where he is." said Horatio.
"I'm sorry I cant help you." she said sitting back down and not looking back up at them.
They left the room and stopped outside.
"What do you think?" Horatio asked the others.
"I think she's hiding something." said Ryan.
"I agree." said Horatio. "Lets go back and talk to Cari. She said her father forced her to help our killer, but she never mentioned how."
