Well, here it is!

Chapter 4

Back At Eric's

Eric answered the phone after the first ring, hoping Calleigh was on the other end. 'Oh. Damn. It's just Ryan,' he thought.

He hung up the phone. He walked out of her house and into the driveway to Horatio. "H, I know who took her... He's a dead man," Eric muttered. Horatio took off his sunglasses and and looked up at Eric. "Who has her, Son?" "It was Jake, H. Ryan found a motorcycle boot print on Calleigh's phone. It's the same brand of boot that the Crypt Kings wear and that's the gang he's affiliated with. This is not good, H." "It certainly is not, Eric. We need to find her. Fast." With this, he put his sunglasses back on, hopped in his Hummer and sped back to MDPD to run a search on Jake. Natalia walked outside and put her hand on Eric's shoulder. "Eric, I know how close you and Calleigh are. You are the oldest members of this team. It was hard on you the first time she was taken, so I know it's hard on you now. You go on home and rest. I'll finish up the scene." After a few minutes of arguing, Eric finally gave up and headed home. He didn't know how he was supposed to sleep with the love of his life gone, but he kept driving anyway.

Meanwhile

Calleigh was STILL in the back of that stupid SUV but a little more comfortable than before because Jake had taken the tape off her mouth, wared her not to make a sound, and ran inside a fast food restaurant. She's spent the darker part of the previous evening waiting for Jake to clean out her own car and hoping the team would find her soon. He returned about 10 minutes later with a sack and two drinks. He got into the driver's seat and pulled out. The smell of whatever was in the bag was making Calleigh really hungry. She then realized she hadn't eaten since lunch the previous day. Jake drove further and further away from civilization. After what seemed like forever, he pulled over. Grabbing the bag, he got out and got in the back seat with Calleigh. He unwrapped a delicious looking cheeseburger. He scooted closer to Calleigh and held it close to her face. In no position to refuse food, she allowed him to feed her the cheeseburger and a few fries. He then offered her a drink of what she hoped was water. She took a sip from the straw, and much to her delight (as much delight as one could have in this situation) it was ice cold water. She had't realized how thirsty she was either, until she guzzled down almost the whole water in the first three gulps. "Whoa! Slow down girl. I'm not making any bathroom stops along the way. I want to get to our love shack as soon as possible." Oh. The bathroom. She instantly wished he wouldn't have brought that up. She really needed to go, but after her little episode earlier, she knew he wouldn't trust her enough to let her go inside somewhere. After checking that she was properly strapped in, he got back in the driver's seat and drove off. She could see that they were completely out f Miami. They kept driving for a few hours. She could see that it was about 2:16 PM on his radio clock. She wondered how much longer they were going to drive. She was about to ask, but she had a second thought and decded against it. She didn't want to upset him and end up with more duct tape on her face.

25 Minutes Later

They pulled into a motel parking lot she estimated was about 45 minutes outside of Miami. Jake got back into the backseat. He reached over into the trunk area and pulled the dreaded bag over his seat. He pulled out a pocket knife and Calleigh jumped. i'Oh God. He's going to Kill Me!/i', she thought. He unbuckled her seatbelt with his free hand and pulled her, stomach down, onto his lap. He started cutting the tape off her wrists. As soon as they were free, she sat up and placed them in her lap. Jake grabbed both of her wrists with one hand, squeezing tightly. He lifted them up in front of his face. "Do NOT make me regret this. We're going to get a room here. You are not to say a word to anyone in the lobby or on the way to the room." He flung her wrists back down and began cutting the tape around her opened the door for her to get out. Linking his arm tightly through hers, he walked to the lobby. She didn't once open her mouth the entire time Jake was ordering the room. 'Yes!,'She thought, 'he ordered the room with his real name! Thank God, he's somewhat of an idiot!.' He then grabbed her hand tightly and pulled her to the door. He stopped at his SUV to get his bag and pulled her into the room.

Back At Eric's

He had put on a pot of coffee already but he was really emotionally and physically drained from the whole ordeal. He fell asleep on his couch with his iPod in his ear. The playlist Calleigh made him going full blast.

At The Motel

Calleigh was sitting on the bed, attempting to take in her surroundings. They'd been in the room long enough for her to use the restroom and go back to the bed and she'd already noticed 5 spots on the wall with peeling wallpaper, one cockroach, and and 3 missing ceiling tiles. Jake got up and put the do not disturb sign on the door, came back and set his bag on the bed. He pulled out two pairs of handcuffs. He leapt on top of her once more and managed to chain her wrists above her on the bars on the back of the bed. He went back to the bag and got the duct tape and bound her ankles together again to keep her from kicking. He then pulled the bandanna that he'd been wearing from around his neck, rolled it up and tightly tied it around her mouth. Jake stood up, looking down on her and said, "don't go anywhere Baby. I'll be back. I'm gonna run a few errands. I need to take care of a little business." He leaned down, brushed his hand against her cheek, checked to make sure she was secure, and walked out of the door.

Jake jumped into his car, went to a nearby car dealership, and using a fake ID was able to trade in his vehicle for a red sedan. He then stopped at a Wal-Mart near the motel. He pulled out of the Wal-Mart parking lot, and rather than going left, toward the Motel, he made a right back toward Miami.

Uh-Oh! Where is he going???
