Day 1 Part 3
"This is crazy!" yelled Ryan desperately "guys! Come on! This is not funny!"
"The car is out of gas" said Eric "maybe that's what made him pull over"
"He filled his tank yesterday" said Natalia "he told me"
"Yes! I know that!" yelled Ryan "and then it got empty in the middle of the road! And… oh my g'd!"
He remembered himself walking out of the car, the man that stopped, the pain in the back of his head, the beating, the Russians, being dragged and now ended up here, he's..Dead
"I'm dead! Oh no! no! no!" cried Ryan grabbing his head with his hands "g'd please make it a bad dream, please I want to wake up"
"There are drops all they way here" said Calleigh "I think he had a leak that's why he was out of gas"
"And it wasn't an accident, take a look at that" said Eric scanning his car "it's been tampered with"
"Sons of bitches" said Ryan "just like the last time except this time they killed me"
"You're not dead" said a voice behind him and saw a tall dark haired woman looking at him she smiled "hallow Ryan"
"Who are you?" he mumbled
"I don't remind you of anybody?" she asked
"Maybe…but…"
"It's ok" she said "we never met but I bet you heard a lot about me, I hear a lot about you even though I've been dead for years"
"Ok, seriously who the hell are you…" asked Ryan he was completely freaked out "you said I'm not dead"
"You are not" she said "but you will die if they won't find you soon"
"What the hell I'm supposed to do about it" hissed Ryan
"To hold on" said the woman with a simple tone like if she was giving him road directions
"And let's just pretend for one crazy moment that this isn't a nightmare and it's actually happening, if I'm not dead then why am I walking around here like a ghost" said Ryan still hoping to open his eyes in his bed and to find out that everything was a really bad dream
"Your soul left your body" said the woman calmly "because your body is in shock and too weak"
"This is not happening, this is not happening" repeated Ryan nervously
"As soon as you realize that this is happening, you'll be able to help yourself" said the woman
"How?"
"By fighting, by staying alive enough time for them to find you"
"Why are you doing this? Helping me?" asked Ryan
"Because I know you're a good person and I also care about people who care about you"
"Who?"
"Good luck Ryan" she said and disappeared
"Hey" called Ryan but she was gone
"This is crazy" mumbled Ryan "maybe I should play along" he said to himself "because if I'm dead there's nothing I can do about it, and if I'm dreaming them I'll wake up sooner or later but if she's right, whoever she is…"
"So let me get this strait" he heard Frank's voice "someone sabotages his car to make his stop in the middle of the road to kidnap him?"
"So we agree that this is kidnapping?" asked Eric with hope in his voice, Natalia who was standing next to him nodded with her head
"If this was just murder they would've left the body here" said Horatio
"The were arrogant enough to leave everything behind except him" said Calleigh, her voice also hoping she was right "if they killed him… they'd left his body here"
"Because they planned to hurt me really bad before, that's why they hadn't killed me on the spot" sighed Ryan
"H' what are you thinking about?" asked Eric when he saw that the lieutenant wasn't with them
"Déjà vu" mumbled Horatio
"Thank you!" called Ryan "someone's starting to get it, you're the only one that knows what happened H'!"
"Excuse me?" asked Eric
"I'll explain later" said Horatio
"Just tell them" said Ryan to Horatio who didn't hear him
"Hey guys" said Natalia "Walter found where Ryan's been living"
"Oh no" said Ryan nervously "please don't go there"
"I think I should go there" said Natalia
"Damn it" said Ryan knowing he cant stop her from going there "or maybe it's for the best" he mumbled "or… what the hell?" he asked when suddenly felt pain going threw his body he looked at himself and he saw that he was covered in dirt "oh n-n-no" he coughed he touched his throat and he saw blood on his hands "sons of b-b-bitches, what have they done to m-m-me"
He closed his eyes when he opened them everything was a blur, what he saw was a mix of green and brown and he could swear that he heard water running near him, he closed his eyes again and opened them but this time they weren't in the middle of the road anymore
He was standing in the middle of the motel room that he was living in; judging by the sky outside it was evening
"I don't want to hear it" called Natalia coming out of the bathroom
"Nat…" tried Walter
"No Walter we can't stop searching just because the day is over" said Natalia, she was on the verge of tears
"What to expect us to find in the dark Nat?" tried to reason her Walter "you know H' is right if we want to find him we need to search him properly"
Natalia sighed deeply and sat on the edge of his bed
Ryan sat next to her and gently rested his hand on her shoulder even though he knew she couldn't feel him "he's right Talia, you're tired, you need to rest"
Walter wrapped his arm around her shoulders sitting on other side of the bed "we'll find him Nat… I promise"
"I guess you're right… I just… why he was living here?"
"You don't want to know" sighed Ryan "you didn't find the letters?"
"He's got the same eyes as Wolfe" said Walter pointing at the Colloquial Siberian cat that was looking at them
Ryan and Natalia both laughed together "you're really something Walter" said Ryan
"I guess you're right, he likes cats more then dogs" smiled Natalia
"Let's go" said Walter "we'll come back first thing in the morning"
"You go I'll feed him" she said pointing at the cat "and then I'll go its ok"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I'll be fine"
"Be strong Nat" he said and left the motel room
When she heard Walter drive off she got off the bed took off her shows and jacket
"Natalia you can't stay in this hole in the wall go home" said Ryan but she didn't hear him she laid under the covers and brought the cat close to her
Ryan nodded his head "Natalia" he joined her on the bad facing her he saw the tears that started to roll
"Don't cry for me" he whispered "Talia…"
"Ryan… where are you?" she asked
"Somewhere between life and death I guess" said Ryan
"I feel like if you somewhere near" she whispered "why? Who hurt you, please just… be ok"
"I'm trying Talia… but I don't know how" he whispered he moved his hand over her cheek, her neck, her shoulder, her arm and finally he placed his hand on hers, she closed her eyes
"I feel as if you were right here" she whispered
"I'm here with you" he said closing his eyes "even when you're crying you still the most beautiful woman that exists on this planet, I love you"

Is this really happening to him or is he loosing it? Maybe it's just a very bad dream?
And I think it's easy to guess who the woman that Ryan saw was
