Hey before you start this chapter reread the ending of chapter nine, I rewrote it so that it can easily flow with this chapter.

CHAPTER TEN: Limits PT2

Calleigh walked into Horatio's office to find him staring at a picture of Kyle. Not wanting to disturb him she waited until he noticed her standing there:

"Sorry Calleigh, do come in and sit down."

"I can't believe your here on a Saturday Horatio." Calleigh took a seat, picking up the picture Horatio was looking at

"Yeah, well Frank called me in, saying it was an emergency, and Kyle isn't-" Horatio paused, "Hey what were you working on this morning? I saw you working on something in the lab." Horatio said, quickly changing the subject.

"Just some evidence found at the crime scene yesterday, I came in today to finish working on identifying a projectile." Calleigh didn't tell him that the projectile was found after Kyle's shooting. She was working on it because Natalia had the day off.

"I appreciate your commitment Calleigh." It seemed the two were skirting around the issues, Horatio didn't want to mention the contents of the second letter, and Calleigh didn't want to mention the name Kyle and shooting.

"Your welcome Horatio." Calleigh smiled

The two sat staring at each other for a few moments, both with hidden feelings and wants.

"Calleigh, did you hear about the note found at the crime scene?" Horatio broke the ice

"Yes Horatio, I was aware of the note and what it was about. I thought Mack and Eric were going to keep the note a secret, just until the issue with Kyle is resolved."

"Well, that was their intentions until another note was found."

"Another note was found?" Calleigh moved up in her seat

"Yes, it was found attached to Kyle's hospital door. Frank and Mack don't know how he got inside his room, but he was there close enough to take Kyle's life." Horatio sounded like he was about to break with that line.

"Horatio, how did he know Kyle was there?"

"Calleigh, he has been stalking Kyle for the past six months following him everywhere. He was there when Kyle was shot, he was watching my son suffer in his hospital bed, I want to find this sick bastard."

"Was that what the second note was about?"

"Yes Calleigh."

"So what do you want me to do?"

Horatio didn't want to come out and say that the killer threaten the women he loved, being that Calleigh was one of those women.

"Well, in the second letter he also threaten the team, so I called you in here today to warn you about watching your back and never going out alone. I want you to let me know where your going at all times so that I can keep tabs on you. I'm telling all the CSI's this, so that we can all keep an eye out for each other." Horatio was lying, he was telling Calleigh that so nothing would happen to her.

"Thanks for the heads up Horatio, I'm glad you let me know."

"Anytime Calleigh."

"Is that all Horatio, I want to finish Iding the projectile so that we can finally have a major lead in this case." Calleigh said standing up

"That's all," Horatio was lying again,"You can go now, just remember what I said, don't go anywhere without letting me know."

Calleigh nodded and walked out the room. If only she knew how Horatio was really feeling at the moment.

AT THE HOSPITAL

Julia was tending to Kyle's bed sheets when Ron walked into the boy's hospital room. Julia stopping to look at him for a moment, continued to tend to Kyle, Ron knew he was not welcomed here:

"Jules, I've been trying to reach you all day." Ron wanted to ease the tension

"Well you found me." Julia didn't look at him

"How is he?"

"He's in a coma Ron, his state hasn't changed since yesterday."

Ron walked toward Kyle's bed,"Jules we need to talk."

"Ron, what you need to do is leave." Julia stopped fixing Kyle's sheets and looked at Ron

"Look Jules, I know I've made a mistake, and I know Kyle wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me. But we need to talk about what were going to do, how were going to handle Horatio, how were going to handle this mess."

"Ron, I've already taken the liberty of clearing my name and handling Horatio myself."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm petitioning the courts for full custody of Kyle, without visitation on Horatio's part. Once awarded custody I'm leaving Miami and you."

"Julia what do you mean leaving me?" Ron's tone changed once he heard those words

Julia nervous moved closer to the edge of Kyle's bed,"Ron, I'm leaving you. I will not allow my son to be used as a pawn or target in this war of hate."

"Julia, your not leaving me. Your not leaving because you value you and your sons life. Did you forget that you were in on the hit? Did you forget that if I go down, your going to go down with me?"

"Ron, I'm willing to take my chances. Now I've hired a lawyer and I'm willing to pay you to leave me and Kyle's life."

"Jules you know I can't do that."

"And why not Ron?"

"Because when I married you i said for rich or for poor, better or wost, in sickness and health, 'till death do us part. Now Jules I can't break those vows for a little pocket change."

"Ron what do you want from me? I'm willing to give you money, I'm willing to give you anything you want, I just don't want you to hurt me or my son anymore."

"Jules, I'll tell you what. I'll forget we even had this conversation and I'll continue this little charade, you'll continue to be my loving wife and keep up appearances. Do you understand me?"

"And if I don't?"

Ron walked over to Julia and grabbed her by the arm,"If you don't you can kiss your life goodbye. Better yet, you can kiss Kyle goodbye because I'll take him from you and you'll never see him again, do you understand me?"

"Yes, Ron." Julia began to cry and shake, as Ron let go of her arm

"Now, sit down and tell me all about your meeting with your lawyers and your plans against Horatio."
