1Chapter Seven

"There's no address for Mr. Marques." Yelina said. "I'm sorry guys."

"So... what do we do now?" Tim asked.

"Um... Mr. Speedle?"

The CSIs turned to the doorway and saw the receptionist, Claudia standing there.

"This just came for you."

"Who sent it?" Tim asked, grabbing the envelope from her hand.

"The security guard." Claudia replied. Tim wasn't paying attention though, he was already reading the note.

"What's it say?" Calleigh asked, afraid of the answer.

"We've got two days." Tim replied. "There's gotta be something we overlooked."

"Oh my God..."

"Hey, we're gonna find him Calleigh." Tim said. "So don't start thinking all is lost. Horatio, there's got to be something."

"I'm sorry Speed." he shook his head. Tim sighed and walked out of the room.

"Tim!" Calleigh called, following him. "Where are you going?"

----S/C----

Tim started walking down the long rows of evidence boxes.

"D...D...D... Here we go." he muttered, grabbing the box. He slit the evidence tape and started going through the contents. "1424 East Boulevard..."

Tim closed the box back up, and walked out of the room.

"H!" he called, jogging towards his boss. "I've got an address. The Donatelli Mansion."

"Tim..."

"We know they're behind it. They're the only enemies I have." he interrupted. "I think that's where Marques is. I've got this feeling."

Horatio opened his mouth to speak but Tim's cell phone went off.

"Yeah its Speed.... okay thanks man. I'll be right there." He snapped his phone shut and looked at Horatio. "That was Delko. He's got the security tape from the entrance. They're going to look through it, see if anyone is suspicious."

----S/C----

"Hold on. Tyler stop it right there." Tim said, hopping off the counter. He looked down at the file in his hand. "Zoom in on him."

Everyone waited, holding their breathes as Tyler quickly hit keys on his keyboard. They all looked.

"Its Marques."

Eric glanced down at his own file and then at the nearest screen.

"It is." he agreed. "Any way of tracking him down?"

"No. There's no security cameras in the parking lot." Tyler said. "Sorry."

"Then how are we supposed to find him?" Tim growled. "Is Yelina sure there is no address for him?"

"No known address anyway." Horatio said. "He's been jail for the past five years."

"Jail?" Calleigh sputtered. "He has Nicky and he's a convict?"

"Of course he's a convict Cal. Only the best for the Donatellis." Tim deadpanned. "Horatio let me go check out the house."

"Alright but we're setting you up." he said.

----S/C----

Tim slammed his locker door shut and looked at Calleigh.

"What?"

"Nothing. I just think you're acting totally stupid on this." she said, shrugging.

"Well for someone who wanted their son back an hour ago..." Tim trailed off.

"I'm not saying that!" Calleigh snapped. "I'm saying going to the Donatellis' mansion and putting yourself in a dangerous situation, when Nicky may not even be there is stupid! Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I get it."

"I just... I just don't want to go through what I went through after the jewelry store." Calleigh said quietly, staring down at the floor. Tim wiped away the tears that had begun to cascade down her cheeks. "I love you."

He bent his head and met Calleigh's lips in a slow, passionate kiss. They pulled away and Calleigh rested her head on Tim's shoulder.

"I want him back Tim."

"And I'm gonna find him Calleigh. I promise."
