(Jake's Apartment)
With sirens blaring multiple patrol cars pulled into the apartment complex, right behind them the team arrived in the hummers.
The owner came out to deliver the extra key and show them the right door that led to where Jake had been living.
"His car is gone." The owner pointed out.
"Ok we will take it from here, thank you for the assistance." Horatio nodded his head before turning back to the team.
"Everyone ready?" He asked
"Let's do this!" Ryan stated as they were getting into position on both sides next to the doorway.
Horatio started on the locks and once he knew the door was unlocked he held up his hand counting down from three before pushing it open.
"Miami-Dade PD!" He shouted while entering the apartment pointing his gun around making sure there was no current threat before moving to the side to allow everyone else in.
"Clear."
Ryan walked toward the back bedroom and looked around noticing the closet door, he reached in and flipped the switch for the light.
"Clear but Horatio you'll want to see this." Ryan suggested while surveying the room.
Horatio came up behind him and everyone followed wanting to see for themselves.
"More syringes." Eric noticed seeing the few that were lying on the floor.
Horatio observed the cuffs hanging off the closet railing holding it up with his hand for a few seconds, He sighed knowing what those were there for.
"Where do you think they went?" Natalia shook her head seeing the stuff in front of them.
"Jake must've gotten spooked after the phone call, probably to a hotel." Walter guessed shrugging his shoulders.
Ryan crouched down. "Got a small spot of blood here H."
Frank walked into the apartment. "Brought your kits."
"Perfect timing Frank, thanks." Ryan picked up one of the boxes and walked back to the closet.
"So Jake took off with them huh?" Frank indicated.
"That he did." Horatio answered keeping his head turned facing back towards the closet.
"You ok Calleigh?" Walter asked concerned realizing she hadn't said a word since they got there.
"Yeah, I don't know I'm just angry and still worried."
"That's understandable, I can't imagine what this must be like for you." He responded.
"Horatio once you guys finish processing I'll take the stuff back to the lab to get the process started." Frank offered.
"I would appreciate that."
(Run down Motel)
Jake pulled the car up next to the entrance and turned around looking at the kids.
"You guys sit tight I'm going to check in."
He got out and slammed the door still feeling upset that his plans were getting messed up.
He mumbled under his breath while going into the lobby, he looked up and saw a TV sitting behind a receptionist and saw the press conference being replayed but the volume muted.
He turned his head trying not to be recognized.
"Checking in sir?"
"Yeah just a room for 2 nights. No preferences."
"Ok just sign these." Some paperwork was pushed toward him.
Jake hesitated to move but quickly realized the receptionist was looking down typing into the computer.
He signed and filled out everything in a speedy fashion and resumed his original position.
"Here is your key. If you need anything just call."
Jake chose not to say anything and grabbed the key off the counter and rushed back out to the car.
He got back in and drove to the closet spot by the assigned room.
"Here's the rules, you guys don't say a word to anyone, you keep your mouths shut. When we get inside I'll let you watch some TV again; I have a visitor coming at some point this afternoon and he'll be taking Kara with him. As soon as she wakes up you can say your goodbyes because you're never going to see her again."
Austin and Patty looked at Jake hearing those words, both too afraid to say anything.
Jake turned off the car, got out and sprinted to unlock the door. Austin and Patty got out, Jake pointed inside of the door. "Let's go, in here now." He demanded.
Once they were inside Jake returned to the car, he checked to make sure no one was around now and lifted Kara out of the vehicle, he then carried her into the room and laid her down on the bed.
He felt around his waist only to realize his cuffs had been left behind at his apartment. He rolled his eyes and stomped back out to the car again.
He grabbed a duffle bag from the trunk and brought it into the room before he closed the door and locked it.
He had packed extra restraints just in case, he pulled out some zip ties from the bag and pulled Kara's hands behind her back and tied it on.
The moment Jake walked away from her Austin and Patty came over and sat next to her on the bed not wanting to leave her side knowing someone was coming to take her away.
(At the Lab)
The team had come back after finishing at the scene to help with processing and try to figure out the next step.
Calleigh went into ballistics to shoot off some rounds hoping it would relieve some of the pent-up stress she was feeling.
Eric watched from a distance for a minute before decided to let her have some space for a while and would check on her in a little bit, He instead retreated to the break room for more coffee.
In the meantime, Horatio was making his way around to see if anyone had results yet.
"Walter have you got anything?"
"Yeah H, the blood we found…." He paused for a moment. "It was Kara's."
"Ok." Horatio put a hand on the table and looked down beginning to feel angry at the thoughts of what could have happened.
"The apartment owner gave a car description so Frank is out canvasing the area." Horatio told him knowing He'd be curious about what was next.
"I hope we find them soon Horatio." Walter admitted.
"We all do Walter, we all do." Horatio repeated.
(Run down motel)
Jake had stepped into the bathroom just Kara began to wake up, once the blurriness cleared she moved her eyes around noticing they weren't in the apartment anymore but instead a dingy motel room.
She felt her hands tightly bound behind her. Pulling her legs back she sat up.
"Kara, Jake said someone is going to coming here soon and He said that person is taking you away!" Austin blurted out.
"Soon, you mean today?" She asked
Patty and Austin both nodded their heads. Kara's eyes widened.
"I heard him talking to someone on the phone I assume was about me but Jake said 2 days…"
All three were distracted when they heard the toilet flush and Jake came back out. He looked over at them.
"Did you guys say your goodbyes?"
There was a knock at the door that got all their attention.
Austin gasped knowing it was probably whoever Jake had mentioned.
Jake looked out the peephole, He smiled and pulled down the locks to open the door.
Kara gasped herself when she saw who walked in. "Navarro!"
