Chapter six: "All about family"

Marcia had a happy childhood. Her mother struggled to raise her, working a low paying factory job and walking the streets at night; but her mother never complained. Marcia never witnessed the struggles her mother went through to take care of her, she never saw the black eyes and bruises her mother endured from the johns she picked up. She never listened in on the quiet conversations her mother had with her aunt when they complained about being ripped off at the factory or Marcia's father not giving any money towards helping raise her. Her mother made sure that Marcia had no worry and care in the world, but that was all about to change.

Marcia was 12 when her world fully began to fall apart. Her mother was killed by one of the men she was seeing. Than just two weeks after her mothers death both her grandmother and aunt were killed in a fire that burned down the factory, leaving many dead and without jobs. Marcia went from having a happy childhood to having to fend for herself over night. Than when it seemed that she was going to perish, the father that her mother never spoke about to her came in to claim his daughter and take her away from the poverty she had known. Her dad Felix Houston was her knight and shining armor. Felix made sure Marcia had the best, anything she wanted she got without even having to mention it more than once.

Marcia got used to her surroundings and this new father that she had never knew and as she grew older she also began to understand what her father did for a living and how it would affect her. She uderstood why she had to travel to school with two armed escorts and why her father always wanted to know who was going to be around when they arrived at a certai restuarant or went shopping. She was the daughter of a drug kingpin and she didn't see anything wrong with it. In private coversations with her father, he would tell Marcia that he didn't want her to end up like him, always having to look over her shoulder. But she wanted to be just like him to the point that she would always say that she already had too. Yes she wanted to inherit the business, she wanted to take over one day and she told her father that she wanted to be groomed into the family way. Marcia made that desicion at the age of 15 and she knew that there was no looking back, she was going to be just like her father.

When she turned 16 her world would be turned upside down again. There was this new detective on the block, taking down big drug lords and gangs. His name was Horatio Caine and he was a big threat to her father and their livelyhood. Marcia had rumblings that this Caine guy had a vested intrest in her father, but she just knew like everyone else he would be "taken care of." The showdown would happen on a cool november day just three days before thanksgiving, when Marcia turned on the news she saw that not only was her father dead, but he was shot and killed in a shoot out by no other than Horatio Caine. That's when something inside Marcia snapped. Thats when she finally realized that everyone that she had ever loved and cared for was gone, and that the one person that gave her the world was taken from her by Horatio Caine. Thats when her hatred for Horatio Caine started, and as she was shipped off to london for her own protection she knew that one day she was going to get him back.

After enduring years in different countries living off the millions her father had left for her, Marcia had grown from a young lady into a beautiful woman. She was poised and ready to make her mark and get back at the one person that was going to feel her wrath. Coming back to America, she took over her fathers business, killing anyone that threathen or stood in her way. When she had the power and money that she needed, she began to put the wheel in motion for the perfect revenge, and when she saw Horatio Caine's dating profile online she just knew that her opporuity had arrived.

Present Day

Kyle Caine walked out of the library and back towards the bus stop. His father would kill him if he knew that Kyle was takig the bus. Horatio was an over protective dad, and though there was nothig wrong with the bus, Horaito knew that in his line of work that everything had the potential of being harmful or deadly. Kyle knew that his father would give him a verbal lashing over not telling him where he was going or what he was doing, but than Kyle figured that his father was so far gone with Marcia that if Kyle called and said that he was running away to join the circus his father would just probably say just be back by dinner. Kyle wished that his father would just see the holes in Marcia's story, but since his father won't Kyle would have to do the work for them both.

This Felix Houston guy sounded real badass to Kyle. A bit of pride swelled through Kyle when he read how his father brought down Felix and the whole drug cartel. Kyle always respected his father for what he has done or is doing, but he just hated that his dad brought his work home and smootherd Kyle with the need to be over protective. But Kyle needed to formulate a plan. How was he going to prove that Marcia and Felix are related? There was no way his father would believe him with solild proof. Could Kyle trust his aunt to figure out that information? Could he take it to Calleigh? Kyle was at a lost, he knew that he couldn't just straight out ask the lying "dr" so he was at a stand still. The only way he figured was going home sneaking into his dad's office and running the back ground check on his dads computer. He knew his father had that software on his home computer and Kyle knew his dads password... It was Kyle (of course it was Kyle) his dad was very obvious when it came to the love he had for Kyle. Kyle needed to act quite. As the bus arrived he just knew that his plan was going to work.


Meanwhile

Marcia was making her way to the crime lab. Horatio had always offered to give her a tour of his work place and she was curious. Not so much to see what he does, but to see how he would go about trying to figure out what she had planned for him. Marcia needed to know what tools they had so that she would leave no evidence linking her to what she was about to do. As she walked into the crime lab she was taken aback by how nice the place was. She had her fair share of run in's with the law, but having a bank account that reached near the billions guarnteed her record would never be found by anyone. Walking up to the front desk she was about to ask where the office of Lt. Caine was when she heard her name being called:

"Marcia" Horatio asked.

"Babe," Marcia turned around and walked up to him,"I came to take you up on that offer for a tour, this isn't a bad time is it?"

"No," Horatio smiled at Marcia happy to see her,"I was just about to head to lunch but I can give you a tour."

"Well you can give me a brief tour and than we can head out to lunch because I'm straving as well." Marcia offered a fake smile in return.

Horatio took her by the hand and lead her to his office. As Marcia walked in she instantly noticed all the medals and awards along with the many pictures of Kyle that lined the desk and walls:

"Wow you got a lot of awards," Marcia said as she looked around,"and pictures of Kyle."

"Yes Kyle seems to be everywhere in this office," Horatio smiled with fatherly pride,"I didn't get to watch his grow up but now that he's in my life I want to enjoy every moment I have with him."

Marcia grew quiet as she walked around the office and looked at all the photos and read all the awards and newspaper clippings that were framed. She was half-way around the room when she stopped at a certain clipping:

"What's this?" Marcia asked as she turned to Horatio. Horatio walked up and read the headline:

"Oh that was many many years ago, I brought down one of the biggest drug cartels in Miami."

Marcia's insides began to turn as she continued reading the article:

"This Felix Houston was a drug kingpin?" Marcia asked.

"Yes he ran like a billion dollar drug enterprise, he was a murderer he had over 200 deaths that was traced back to him. He was a ruthless killer, he was one of the biggest names that I ever had a hand in taking down."

Marcia had to stop her anger from spilling to the surface:

"What happen to him?"

Horatio was quiet for a moment:

"I killed him."

"Oh."

"Yes the streets of Miami are much more safe when we get scum like Felix Houston off the streets."

Marcia just stared at the hanging frame. She had to force herself not to cry, there was so much that she wanted to shout at Horatio, but she knew soon her voice will be heard. The two of them stood in silence for a few moments until Horatio spoke up:

"Do you want to contiue the tour of just go get something to eat?"

Marcia walked away from the wall and towards Horatio:

"I'd rather go back to your place if you know what I mean?" Marcia kissed him on the lips.

After their kiss Horatio smiled at Marcia:

"I think that could be arranged."

Horatio grabbed his jacket and keys from the desk and the two began to walk towards the entrance of the crime lab. As they were about to leave Calleigh and Eric just happened to be walkig towards them:

"Horatio we were just about to head towards your office." Eric stopped in front of Horatio.

Horatio and Marcia stopped holding hands:

"Eric, Calleigh this is Marcia, Marcia this is two of my CSI'S Eric and Calleigh."

They said their hellos than Horaito continued:

"We were about to head to lunch is this something that can wait until I come back?"

Eric looked at Horatio and than Marcia:

"H I think we should discuss this in your office if Marcia doesn't mind waiting just a little bit." Eric asked as he looked at Marcia.

"No I don't mind." Marcia smiled at Eric,"You can go I will wait for you."

Horatio squeezed her hand and than Eric and Horaito left leaving Calleigh and Marcia alone. Calleigh felt awkward she didn't know what to say to Marcia, but she did notice that she was really pretty just like all of Horatio's former girlfriends, Calleigh just hoped that her looks also didn't bring along the drama that they other pretty women brought into Horatio's life:

"So you enjoy working in the crime enviroment?" Marcia asked getting Calleighs attention.

"I do."

"Wow, I don't think I have the stomach for it."

Calleigh laughed:

"Well what do you do?"

"I'm a doctor."

"Oh what do you spealize in?"

"Neonatal?"

Calleigh was impressed," Oh wow that must be hard but rewarding work?"

"It has its challening moments."

"So you must like kids, you've met Kyle right?" Calleigh knew she had.

"I guess you can say I like kids, I like other peoples kids," Marcia laughed,"I have met Kyle, between me and you he's a little brat if you ask me."

Strike one. Calleigh was take aback by Marcia's frank honesty. Everyone knew how Horatio felt about his son, and as a woman that was going to enter into a realtionship with Horaito Marcia must knew that Horatio would do anything and everything for his son:

"You like Kyle don't you?" Calleigh asked a little shocked.

"Oh don't get me wrong I like him only because he's Horatio son, but I feel like they are too attached. The boy is almost out of high school, Horatio needs to learn to let go. If Kyle was my son, I would have shipped him off to boardig school or something. Yesterday night at dinner he was being so rude and disrespectful to me and his father, he deserves a good smack across the face." Marcia said matter-o factly.

Calleigh couldn't believe her ears, this women hardly knew her and she was sharing so much about how she felt about her bosses son to her:

"Well I have met Kyle a few times and he's a very nice boy."

"Right well all I can say is that he needs to a good butt whupping if you ask me."

Marcia said her last statement just as Horatio and Eric were walking up to her and Calleigh:

"Who needs their butt whopped?" Horaito asked as hestood beside Marcia.

"No one babe, you ready to go." Marcia laughed.

"Yup, Calleigh, Eric I will see you both in about an hour."

"Alright." Calleigh answered.

Marcia and Horatio walked away leaving Eric and Calleigh alone:

"She seems nice." Eric said as he watched them walk away."

"Yeah.." Calleigh rolled her eyes and began walking the other way. There was something off about this Marcia lady and Calleigh just knew she was going to be just like all the other ones.


Coming up next: Kyle is almost caught, Marcia puts her plan in action and Calleigh makes an appeal.
