Chapter 10: Blood on my hands

It all seemed like a blur to Horatio. Marcia being loaded into an ambulance, unable to provide any more information about her attack. Horatio only knew that Kyle was abducted, by whom, Marcia was unable to answer. He felt torn, he wanted to go to the hospital with his girlfriend, but Kyle being in the hands of criminals was taking presdence over his heart and mind. So he had Frank go to the hospital with Marcia, while he drove to the site where the possible abduction took place. When he arrived Calleigh and Eric were already processing the scene. Horatio jumped out of his car and practically ran over to them:

"What do you got?"

Worry lined Horatios face and Calliegh could sense the inner turmoil Horatio was dealing with:

"There defintely was a struggle here, Eric has collected blood samples and has sent them back to the lab for testing, he's waiting on them right now."

Horatio tried to keep his cool when he heard about the blood:

"What do you think happened?"

"I think that Marcia and Kyle were ran off the road, causing an accident, and Kyle was dragged from the car." Calleigh had to answer truthfully, sugar coating anything would get Horatio nowhere and Kyle not found.

Horatio turned and looked at the surrounding area. There was just road, no houses or any witnesses that would be able to come forward. A thought just hit him while he was surveying the area, where we Kyle and Marcia going? And why hadn't she called him if there was something wrong with his child? Horatio had to push those thought s out of his head, he did not want to blame Marcia for anything that was not her fault. Kyle was his number one thought right now and he needed to be focused:

"Calleigh did you get any projectiles," Horatio asked as if he was going to be sick,"Was there any indications that a gun was used?"

Calleigh looked at Horatio hating the job she had for the first time:

"Yes Horatio," Calleigh answered as she pointed over to two men taking pictures of the floor,"We believe a .44 has been used."

Horatio needed to sit down, he couldn't bear to think that his child had been shot. Horatio looked around, suddenly feeling like his world has stopped:

"Horatio do you need to take a seat?" Calleigh asked as she moved to support her boss and friend. This could not be easy on him. He had gone through a lot to protect his son. He has fought through hell and back to make sure that Kyle could live as normal as possible and than this happens. They have all worked child abduction cases. Some of the outcomes were amazing and then some just caused them to always reevaluate there jobs. Calleigh hoped for a good outcome, and she silently vowed to kill anyone that caused Horatio or Kyle any harm.

"No I am fine." Horatio answered as he watched Eric walk over towards them. Eric wore a look that caused Calleighs heart to skip a beat:

"Horatio, I just got off the phone with the lab. The blood that was tested does belong to Kyle." Eric said with emotion in his voice.

The blood drained from Horatios face, and Calleigh thought he looked like he had aged ten years within that moment:

"Eric are you sure." Calleigh asked as she too was starting to become sick with the thoughts of what could have possibly happened:

"They are positive that the blood is Kyles."

All three were quiet until Horatio broke the silence by putting on his shades and beginning to walk away:

"Horatio," Calleigh chased after him,"What are you doing, what are you going to do."

Horatio did not stop nor did he look back:

"I'm going to find my son and kill whoever has him."

Kyle faded in and out of consciousness. The pain was unbearable. He knew that he had been shot in the shoulder by Marcia, but the rest was a blur. The last thing he remembers was being kicked the stomach by a masked man before being given a shot that put him to sleep. Now he awoke with his gunshot wound registering fully in his mind. If he would have never pushed his father to date and move on he would have never been at this point. He hated the fact that his own actions got him in trouble, but also he hated the fate that his father was too lovey dovey to see through the fraud that is Marcia Houston. His father was known for his investagative work and he wondered why he never looked into Marica. Was it because he just fell for her or was it because he assumed Kyle was alright with her so he did not need to check? It was going to be Kyle's own fault that he and his father would die. Maybe that would be for the best, because Kyle would just die if he lost both his parents again.

Marcia awoke and looked over to see a bald headed man sitting in the chair next to her bed. Turning her head to look for Horatio, she let out a slight groan when she did not see him:

"Horatio.."

She muttered getting Franks attention:

"Hey Marica," Frank said gently as he stood and walked towards the bed:

"Horatio?" Marcia asked

"Horatio could not be here right now, he's looking for his son."

"Why?"

Frank looked at Marcia as if that was such as werid question to ask, that deduced that she most likely did not remember what happened:

"Kyle was abducted when you and him were ran off the road. You found a way to drive to the crime lab and thats how we got you the help."

Marcia rolled her eyes:

"I want Horatio here now!" Marcia demanded

"I can call him Marcia, but the man is looking for his son, half of Miami is looking for this child. There is no way..."

"I'm more important at this time." Marcia groaned.

Frank looked at her and turned to walk out the room:

"I will try to see if he would come."

Frank walked out the room and thought,"Horatio is not going to like this."

What do you think? The next chapter will be longer. Horatio and Marcia argue, Calleigh comes full circle and Kyle gives up.
