Power Struggle Chapter 4
Back at the lab, Horatio and Eric went back to talk to Cari to figure out exactly what she was supposed to do to help the killer.
"Cari, you told us that your dad made you help his friend dragon." said Horatio. "What did you do to help him?"
"Daddy told me, I had to get his friend in this building." she said.
"Why did your dad think you could get him into this building?" Eric asked.
"I'm not supposed to tell anybody." she said with her head down.
"It's alright!" said Horatio. She looked up. "You can tell us."
"I can do things." she said quietly.
"What kind of things?" Eric asked.
"I can walk through walls." she said. "And I can make walls disappear for a little bit too."
"Is that how you helped Dragon into the lab?" Horatio asked. She nodded.
"Thank you, Cari, you've been very helpful." said Eric as him and Horatio left the room.
"How are we going to find her father?" Eric asked once Horatio closed the door.
"We see where the evidence leads us." said Horatio. "Dark Matter took Alexx right out of her own lab, and I know Alexx would put up a fight. We are missing something."
"So we need to look over the place again." said Eric.
"Yes, we do." said Horatio.
The two of them headed back down to the autopsy room and searched every corner for something that they could be missing. After searching forseveral minutes Eric noticed a small piece of paper in the corner by the door. He picked it up.
"What have you got, Eric?" Horatio asked.
"A small piece of paper." said Eric looking at it. "It has an address on it."
"Lets head to there then. Maybe its where they were supposed to take Alexx." said Horatio.
Horatio, Eric, Ryan, and Calleigh headed to the address found on the paper to find a small house that looked that no one had been living in it for years. They split up each taking out their guns. Horatio and Calleigh headed to the front of the house as Ryan and Eric headed to the back. There was a small window in the front of the house and Horatio noticed that there seemed to be nobody there. He kicked in the door and there was a small note on the table. He walked over and picked it up.
Caine,
Your friends not here, but she's safe for now. I'm having a friend stop by the house to pick up another member of your team, and right under your nose too. Good luck trying to find him.
Dark Matter
