"Why use a thermocamera?" Mary from the night shift asked.
"Because I think that Jonathan is in the forest. And it's easier to spot them with a thermocamera among the trees." Natalia said.
She and Mary watched as the chopper lifted from the ground and flew over the forest. It was the same forest that the last victim had been found in.
Then the two women and eight officers started walking into the woods in a straight line, a few feet a part from each other.
That way Jonathan would not be able to hide if he was indeed in the woods.
Some officers called for Violet and Jonathan. But as expected they didn't get a respond.
Natalia's cell phone rang and she quickly answered it.
"Hello."
"Nat, it's Frank, Liam Nelson took Jr."
"What?!"
"Don't worry, we have a GPS signal from the car. We're just waiting for him to stop."
"How's Calleigh and Horatio doing?"
"Pretty fine, but worried of course. What are ya doing right now?"
"I'm searching for Jonathan and Violet in the woods. Me, Mary from the night shift and eight officers. We also have a chopper in the air with a thermocamera."
"Okay, good. Did you find the last victim?"
"Yeah, Alexx has her in the morgue right now. But it's very clear that they didn't finish. They left the knife and forgot about the note."
"Alright, and what else?"
"Well, we found three surgical knife sets in Jonathan's house, and plastic suits with blood on them." Natalia said, "It's been sent to the lab."
"Alright, Horatio and Calleigh says to tell ya to be careful."
"I will be. I'll see ya later."
She hung up and sighed in relief. She was also worried about Jr, but thank God for GPS. As soon as Liam and B stopped the car, they would be caught.
-I-
"Oh God, I should have fought back more." Calleigh sobbed against Horatio's chest.
"Honey, you did everything you could." Horatio said, "None of us had any other choice but to let him walk away."
"I should have fought."
"He would have shot you." Horatio said.
"Yeah, and that would have been better then for him to take Jr."
"No, Cal, would you risk letting Jr grow up without his mother?" Horatio asked, "Sweetie, you did the right thing. No one is mad at you."
"So you still love me?" Calleigh asked.
"Of course I do, honey." Horatio smiled at her and gave her a kiss.
"I should check up on Donovan." Calleigh said, "Come with me?"
Horatio nodded, "Frank let me know when they've stopped the car."
Frank nodded and watched Calleigh and Horatio walk away towards the room where Donovan was.
Calleigh smiled as she saw her little boy. Donovan looked at his mom and dad with wide eyes.
"I can't wait until we get to take him and Jr home." Calleigh smiled.
Horatio nodded in agreement.
"Calleigh, do you think we should get married?" He asked suddenly.
Calleigh looked at him, quite shooked.
"Do you want to?" She asked.
"Yeah, but I have been thinking that maybe we should wait until the boys are a bit older, so that they can participate more." Horatio said.
Calleigh smiled and kissed him.
"That's a wonderful idea handsome."
Horatio smiled. Then Frank appeared in the doorway.
"Horatio, he stopped at a small cabin in the glades." Frank said.
"Great! Calleigh, sweetheart..." Horatio said, "I'll get Jr back."
"I know you will handsome." Calleigh smiled.
Horatio gave her a kiss and then left the hospital with Frank, Eric and ten officers.

Natalia sighed. She and the others had walked in the woods for fifteen minutes and gotten pretty far. But there was still not sign of Violet or Jonathan.
But that was about to change as she walked around a big rock. She froze on the spot as she saw a a little girl with brown hair, Violet. She had a knife to her throat, a knife that was held by no other than Jonathan Becket. Jonathan smirked at Natalia.
"Whoa, I didn't now they let a sexy woman like you be a cop." He said.
Natalia was about to take her gun out of the holster.
"Don't even think about it." Jonathan said and pressed the knife harder against Violet's throat.
Violet was crying and she looked thin.
"Haven't you given her any food?" Natalia asked.
"Who cares if she eats?"
"Her father might."
Jonathan snorted, "That little sissy doesn't deserve to have a daughter. He's a nobody."
"He's more of a man then you are." Natalia said, "Let her go."
By now the other officers had noticed what was going on. They walked towards Natalia and Jonathan. Jonathan pressed the knife even harder against Violet's throat as the officers reached for their guns.
"No guns." Natalia said.
She didn't want to risk that Jonathan cut Violet's throat because of some guns.
"Please let me have Violet." Natalia said, "This can end good or bad."
"It will end the way I want it to end." Jonathan said.
"And what way is that?"
"Well, I kill Violet and those cops beind you. Then I take you with me to New York, and from there we take a flight to the Bahamas." Jonathan smirked, "You got a nice butt, that I'd like too..."
"I got it." Natalia interrupted, "I understand."
Jonathan smirked, "Are ya interested?"
Natalia thought for a second. She nodded and walked towards Jonathan.
"Wait, put your gun on the ground."
Natalia nodded and took her gun out of the holster, slowly she put in on the ground and walked towards Jonathan.
Jonathan grabbed Natalia's arm and pushed her infront of him. That's when Violet saw her chance of getting away. So she pulled away from Jonathan's grip and ran towards the officers.
Jonathan cursed, but didn't do anything to get Violet back. Instead he put his knife against Natalia's throat, and his other arm went around her waist to make sure she stayed put.
He softly caressed her waist.
"Mm, nice." He smirked.
Natalia sighed. She hated men like Jonathan. Old, dirty men who thought they were young, sexy stallions.
A few minutes went by and Jonathan kept on talking about how sexy natalia was and that they should get married.
Natalia never answered him. Instead she felt like cutting his tongue out. All she needed was a knife of her own.
"Well, we should really get out of here." Jonathan said. He started to back away with Natalia.
The officer followed them of course.
-I-
Ryan groaned and slowely opened his eyes. His vision was blurry and he blinked a few times.
"Hey." A voice said next to him.
Ryan turned his head to the right side of the bed and saw Cole.
He then noticed that he had an oxygen mask over his mouth, he tried to remove it, but warm hands stopped him.
"Wait, I'll go get a doctor." Cole said.
He left the room. Ryan sighed, how long had he been in a coma? He hoped not for long.
Cole came back with a doctor, who removed the oxgen mask and checked to make sure Ryan could breath on his own.
Then he left Cole and Ryan alone.
"How long?" Ryan asked.
"You've been in a coma since 5pm on May 24th." Cole sad, "It's not May 25th and 13:17."
Ryan gave Cole a small smile, "That's not a long time at all."
"No."
"So, what are you doing here?" Ryan asked.
"Well, I heard about the accident and, I um... well, I was concerned." Cole said, blushing.
"You've been here all the time?"
Cole nodded.
"What about your class?"
"It can wait." Cole said, "I heard that the team caught the killers."
"Good." Ryan smiled, "They did a good job."
"I think the biggest credit goes to you though. You worked your butt off to solve the case."
"But, I couldn't have done it without you and the team." Ryan grinned, "Still up for dinner?"
"Sure, once you're feeling better." Cole smiled.
Ryan nodded and closed his eyes. He felt so tired.
-I-

"They just won't stop following us will they?" Jonatan asked as he kept on backing away, deeper into the woods.
"No." Natalia said.
"Well, I might have to kill you then." Jonathan said, "They'll be busy trying to save you and I will be busy running away."
"They'll shoot you as soon as you cut me." Natalia said, "Why don't you try?"
Jonathan snorted, "You know, if you're going to be angry at me, we can't get married."
Natalia sighed. Her ucle had been the same way as Jonathan. Always flirting with women and pretending they would get married. It was probably the reason as to why he was still single, even today.
"You know, I wanted to be an author once." Jonathan said, "And if this was a book it would have had an ending such as, And then the good man called Jonathan left America for Bahamas with his sexy wife, and they had three kids, who all became presidents in their own country."
Then Jonathan suddenly stopped as he felt a gun towards the back of his head.
"If if was my story it end something like this, The big bad man named Jonathan got shot in the head for trying to kidnap a CSI, and everybody lived happily ever after." The voice of Molly said from behind Jonathan.
Jonathan sighed and let Natalia go.
"I like that ending." Natalia smirked.
Jonathan dropped his knife and was quickly handcuffed.
"When did you get out of the hospital?" Natalia asked.
"I escaped." Molly grinned, "I hate hospitals."
"Wow, now we'll have two people like that in the family." Natalia chuckled, "Horatio hates them too."
Molly laughed.
"Thank you Molly, I'm glad you showed up. Perfect timing." Natalia gave Molly a hug. Molly was taken by suprise but hugged back.
"Well, no one will get away with kidnaping a member of the team." Molly said, "Not if I can stop them."
-I-

The drive towards the cabin in the Glades had taken quite some time. But now Horatio, Eric, Frank and the officers were there and ready to burst in and finally arrest B and Liam.
SWAT arrived after a while and together with the others they slowly approached the cabin.
Frank stood infront of the door with Horatio and Eric. He counted to three then kicked the door in.
Everybody ran inside. Liam panicked and ran out through a back door.
He was closely followed by Horatio and Eric. Liam was really scared this time. He had been taken completely by suprise.
Soon he felt someone grab his shirt and he was pulled down to the ground. But it didn't stop him from trying to escape. He started kicking and hitting around him.
Eric got hit in the face and Horatio was kicked in the stomach.
Then Liam kicked them both so hard that they fell back and Liam was able to stand up and run away.
Though, he didn't get far until he was once again pulled down to the ground.
This time he was unlucky and Eric held him down. Eric handcuffed him and pulled him up to his feet. Then he saw a bloody knife on the ground.
"That's your knife?" Eric asked.
Liam just smirked. Four officers and Frank joined Eric and Horatio. Horatio was still sitting on the ground, panting.
Eric handed Liam over to the officers and kneeled down next to Horatio.
"H, are you hurt?" He asked.
Horatio nodded. His hands were bloody and he was pressing down on his waist.
He removed his hands slightly and showed Eric and Frank a stab wound.
"Call an ambulance!" Frank shouted.
