What Hurts The Most
Part 10
"What are we going to do now," asked Stetler.
"Give up," said Horatio in a whispered voice.
"Give up? Why do you want to give up? You can't just let them win," said Stetler.
"Yes, I can. I failed to protect Roxanne. I promised her no one would ever hurt her again," said Horatio.
"You didn't fail her. You did protect her," said Stetler.
"He's right. You did protect Roxanne. You were willing to trade places with her. That says a lot," said Calleigh.
"I guess it does. There's no way to escape from this place though," said Horatio.
"There has to be a way. We'll try to find a way out. You just sit there and rest," said Sammie.
"Now that we're all alone. I think it's time we get reacquainted with each other," said Sanchez as he caressed Roxanne's cheek.
"Get your slimy hands off me," yelled Roxanne as she tried to move away from Sanchez.
"I don't think so. I'll do as I please with you. You're mine now. Remember that," said Sanchez as he slapped Roxanne.
"I'll never be yours! I belong to Horatio," yelled Roxanne.
"You're very persistent. We'll see how long that last," said Sanchez as he left Roxanne tied to the bed.
"So, how are our guests doing," said Sanchez with a smirk.
"Horatio is starting to give up. The others are trying to get him not to give up," said Rossi with a smirk of his own.
"This is almost too perfect. Cooper. I think you should give Horatio another beating," said Sanchez.
"My pleasure," said Cooper as he headed down to the basement.
Sammie and the others were about to look around when they heard the door open.
"Cooper. What are you doing back down here," asked Calleigh.
"Sanchez thinks Horatio needs another beating," said Cooper with a smirk.
"Don't you dare touch him," said Speed.
"Like you can do anything about it," said Cooper as he opened the door to Horatio's cell.
"Come on 'hero'. Wake up," said Cooper as he kicked Horatio in the stomach.
Horatio moaned in pain and rolled over.
"That's more like it," said Cooper as he grabbed Horatio and forced him up.
"Cooper! Stop it! Have you lost your mind," yelled Calleigh.
"You know what? Maybe I have. Would you like to find out first hand," asked Cooper as he dropped Horatio and walked over to Calleigh's cell.
He opened the door and yanked her out by her arm.
"L--Let her go," said Horatio as he tried to get up.
"I don't think so. Little miss perfect here needs to be thrown down a notch or two," said Cooper as he slapped Calleigh hard in the face, knocking her to the ground.
He grabbed Calleigh by the hair and pulled her up.
"How do you like that? That rough enough for you," said Cooper as he pushed Calleigh into the wall.
"Calleigh! Cooper! Stop this madness," yelled Stetler.
Cooper ignored Stetler and made his way towards Horatio again.
"Cooper. You have to stop. Sanchez is just using you. He'll get rid of you when he thinks you've done your job," said Horatio.
"You're lying! Sanchez said we're all in this together," said Cooper.
"That's what he wants you to believe. The only people that are going to come out of this alive is Sanchez, Rossi, and Ratner," said Horatio.
"I don't believe you. Sanchez said we're all partners in this. He would never get rid of me. He needs me, and he knows it," said Cooper.
"He's the one lying to you Cooper. Trust me. I'm telling you the truth," said Horatio as he looked up at Cooper.
Cooper looked at Horatio and could tell he was telling the truth.
"What can I do to make things right," asked Cooper.
"You have to help us get out of here and capture Sanchez, Rossi, and Ratner," said Horatio.
"Okay. I'll get you out tonight somehow," said Cooper as he led Horatio and Calleigh back to their cells.
When he laid Calleigh down she started to wake up.
"Cooper," said Calleigh.
"It's okay. Everything's going to be okay. Horatio set me straight," said Cooper.
"You're going to help us," asked Calleigh.
"Yes. Now, you need to rest. Save your strength for tonight," said Cooper as he left.
"Do you really think he'll help us," asked Sammie.
"I'm sure of it. He knows I'm telling him the truth. He'll help us," said Horatio.
"I hope you're right Horatio," said Stetler.
"You sure gave Caine a beating," said Rossi.
"Yeah, well, someone had to shut him up," said Cooper.
"Good job Cooper," said Sanchez.
"Thanks," said Cooper.
"Now, if you gentlemen will excuse me. I have a lady waiting for me," said Sanchez as he went into the bedroom where Roxanne was being held.
"I see you're back," said Roxanne.
"Yes. I thought you could use a little refresher in way you'll never leave this place," said Sanchez as he turned on a tv that showed the basement.
Roxanne saw Horatio laying on the cot in the cell.
"What did you do to him," asked Roxanne in shock.
"I didn't do anything. Cooper did that to Horatio," said Sanchez with a smirk.
"It's me you want. Let the others go," said Roxanne.
"I don't think so. I think I'll make them pay too," said Sanchez.
"You'll never get away with this. Someone will find us," said Roxanne.
"You keep thinking that. Nobody else knows you're here," said Sanchez.
Meanwhile back at the lab everyone was starting to get worried.
"Eric. Have you heard anything from Calleigh and the others," asked Valera.
"No. I haven't heard a word. I've tried calling, but it just goes to voice mail," said Eric.
"There's got to be a way we can find them," said Valera.
"There might be a way. I'm going to see Tyler," said Eric as he walked towards A/V lab.
"Tyler. Do me a favor. I need you to locate Calleigh and the others. I can't get a hold of them," said Eric.
"Okay. If Calleigh's phone is still on I should be able to find her," said Tyler as he started a search on Calleigh's phone.
"I found her. She's in Rio. Here's the location," said Tyler as he gave Eric the information.
"Thanks Tyler," said Eric as he left the A/V room.
"Well, did Tyler get a location on Calleigh," asked Valera.
"Yeah, she's in Rio," said Eric.
"Riaz's old place," asked Valera.
"No. Somewhere else. I'm going to call in a few people," said Eric as he took out his phone and dialed.
"Berkeley," said Jake.
"Jake. We have a problem," said Eric.
"What is it," asked Jake.
"Calleigh and the others went to Brazil to rescue Horatio and Roxanne. I haven't heard from her for a while now. I have a location on her though," said Eric.
"And you want me and some of my guys to go to Brazil and rescue them," said Jake.
"Yes. I would go, but someone needs to stay at the lab," said Eric.
"I understand. I'll my guys geared up and ready. Give me the location," said Jake.
So, Eric gave Jake the location of Calleigh's whereabouts.
"Thanks Jake. I owe you," said Eric.
"You don't owe me a thing. I'm just doing my job," said Jake as he hung up.
"Do you think he can do it," asked Valera.
"Yeah, he's our only hope in getting them back," said Eric.
"I hope he's able to get them back here safe and sound," said Valera.
"I'm sure he will," said Eric.
