A stairway to heavens first intro sneak preview chapter will be up by next week and this weekend a special father's day thing I wrote for Horatio and Kyle will be up, so look out for that. Hope you enjoy this chapter

I would also like to thank: PrincessMoonShadow, Olesammie, Also thanks for those who read the story but don't comment, you can comment you know I don't bite.

I like this cranky Kyle makes him seem more real, so I am going to run with it for another chapter or two. I also had to rewrite this chapter, because I forgot that some of my reader have not seen season seven yet and so they would not get what I was saying when Horatio went to Julia's house to get Kyle's things.


Chapter Eight: "Kyle will always come first Julia."

Kyle threw himself on the bed and sighed, the combination of the events of today mixed in with his anger for having to stay at his aunts house had him physically and emotionally drained. Kyle turned over to face the poster covered wall and kicked off his shoes, if he was going to be staying here for the weekended, he'd better make himself comfortable. Ray Jr walked into his room after using the bathroom, and laughed at his cousin who was trying to make himself comfortable on the too small bed. Ray Jr sat at his desk and twirled in his seat:

"So how long do you think Uncle H will have you here for?"

"I don't know," Kyle shrugged,"He said a weekend when we were at the crime lab"

"Oh do you know why he wants you to stay here over the weekend?"

"No," Kyle answered rather annoyed at his cousin for asking such a dumb question,"If I would have known that my dad was shipping me off to stay with you guys, I would have left Miami for a few days and went to my moms beach house."

"Come on Kyle staying here with us isn't that bad is it?"

Kyle looked up at his younger cousin and smiled,"What do you think?"

Ray Jr didn't return the smile,"Kyle just because you are mad at your dad does not mean you need to talk trash about my home."

"Dude who says I am talking trash about your home, I'm not mad because I have to stay here-"

"Yes you are.." Ray Jr cut him off.

"Okay maybe I am a little mad that I have to stay here, but I am more mad at my dad than anyone else."

"Why are you mad at Uncle Horatio?"

"Because he thinks he can treat me like some kid, I am not a baby anymore, he can tell me what is going on. He also feels the need to ship me off somewhere when there is a problem going on."

"And how do you know that there is something going on? How come he just can't be a father trying to protect his son?" Ray Jr was getting angry at his cousin, who he felt at times was ungrateful.

"I know there is something going on because every time my father wants to protect me he sends me to another country or to stay at a relatives house until everything dies down. I'm not saying I don't appreciate what he does for me, I'm saying that sometimes he can be a little overprotective, and that's what annoys me about him."

"I beg to differ, Uncle H just wants to protect his family and that's why he can be over protective." Ray Jr almost shouted at his cousin.

Kyle got up from the bed,"What is your issue man? I just feel like sometimes he doesn't give me the benefit of the doubt. He treats me like some fragile being, and I hate that I can handle myself."

"I just think you are ungrateful Kyle, you have an awesome father and you treat him like crap."

"And how would you know how I treat my dad?" Kyle sounded like he was ready to fight his cousin.

"Because I heard the way you talked to him in the hummer, I saw the way you ignored his phone calls. You went to the beach today without his permission, and you disrespect him. He lets you get away with so much, if I was his son I-"

"Well your not so I think you should just shut your mouth." Kyle interrupted Ray as he stormed out the room.


Horatio arrived at Julia's house, exiting the hummer he thought back to the last time he was here. Julia and Horatio had got into a big argument over Ron and Horatio had threaten to take Kyle away from Julia for good. Julia got so enraged that she slapped Horatio across the face twice, after she struck him, Kyle came into the room an begged his parents to end the bickering over him. Horatio, angry and ashamed at himself for letting the predicament get that far, left the house with Kyle for the weekend. Horatio hasn't been back to the house since, he didn't want Kyle to see his parents fighting, so he made an agreement with Julia that she would pick up Kyle from the crime lab every monday after school.

He rung the doorbell and waited for Julia to answer the door, a few moments later he was meet by the woman that he once loved:

"Horatio where is Kyle? Did something happen?" Julia was past formal greetings with Horatio, the only business them too had together was there son.

"Kyle is alright he is at a safe house." Horatio took of his sunglasses.

"Why aren't I at this safe house with him, he needs to be with his mother right now." Julia questioned suspiciously.

"Julia can I come in?"

Julia thought about it for a moment and than moved out the way. Horatio walked into the massive home and headed to where he thought the living room was. Julia and Kyle's home was huge boasting more than 37 rooms, a wine cellar, and a private home theater. Though he would never admit it to Julia, he was glad that his son got to enjoy all the luxuries life had to offer.

Horatio sat down on the couch and Julia walked over to the bar to get herself a drink. Horatio looked around at the decor:

"Do you want something to drink Horatio?"

"No I'm alright Julia." Horatio's eyes rested on the large photo of Kyle hanging above the fireplace. It was the same photo Horatio had on his desk in his office.

"So where is this safe house and who is staying with our son?" Julia sat across from Horatio and put her drink down on the table in front of them.

"It's not really a safe house Julia, he's staying with his aunt Yelina and cousin on the other side of town."

Julia tensed up when she heard that name, she didn't like Yelina and she had no trouble hiding her distain for her,"You have my son at your girlfriends house?"

His aunt and cousins house Julia."

"No Horatio you mean your girlfriends house." Julia got up ready to go to the phone and call her son to come home.

"Julia she is not my girlfriend."

"Right Horatio like I am supposed to believe that."

"I don't care if you believe it or not Julia, Kyle will always come first and nothing else matters right now." Horatio fidgeted with the ends of his sunglasses.

"Okay why else are you here Horatio, you could have called me on the phone to tell me that Kyle is going to be staying at his aunts house until we figure out what we are going to do about the situation."

"I'm here to get him some clothes and to talk to you about what I plan on doing Julia"

"Horatio right now I am still trying to cope with this while situation, also I already have in mind what I want to do-"

"Julia I don't want you to do anything."

"And why the hell not Horatio, he's my son and I am going to protect him the best way I know how."

"Julia I don't want you getting in the way of this investigation, it is best that you stay out of it and act normal for Kyle."

"So what you can get all the glory again Horatio, and I am stuck watching Kyle gloat about how his dad is such a hero."

Horatio heard the hint of jealousy in Julia's tone. Julia might be able to give Kyle whatever he wanted, but Horatio got the admiration. "Julia it is not like that, I don't want you to get hurt."

"Horatio I am not going to sit by and wait.."

"Well your going to have to Julia because I don't want any distractions. Also I don't want Kyle to become alarmed."

"I can't promise you anything Horatio, now do you want me to go and get his things?"

Horatio stood up and stared at Julia," Julia I'll get his things myself. I hope you understand me when I say I don't want to catch you involved in any of this."

"To late Horatio"

"Julia.."

"His room is upstairs the third door to the right." Julia took her drink and walked out the living room, leaving Horatio to ponder.


Calleigh watched as they were brining the suspect back to the crime lab to be interrogated by Horatio. New develops on the picture case had emerged and she was hoping that Horatio might be able to get to the bottom of the pictures of Kyle.

As the suspect was being lead back into the crime lab, he looked over at Calleigh and smiled. His smiled angered and frightened Calleigh at the same time.

This suspect knew something that the CSI'S and Horatio didn't. He knew that someone was following them all, and that Kyle's safe house was already known.


DUN DUN DUN........
