Chapter Eleven: The Devil's Son

Alexx

I get tired of these abuse cases. Seeing all the bruises and burns makes me wonder what exactly is going through the abusers mind.

Shame?

Guilt?

Sorrow?

Anger?

Accomplishment?

Reprivation?

Who knows?

I heard a buzz and Horatio's voice followed it, "Alexx, can you show me the stab wound on the camera again so it is fresh in my memory?"

"Sure, H." I answered and put the teeny tiny camera about the wound for Horatio to observe.

"Hmm…Thank-you, Alexx. You have a good afternoon."

"You too, H. Good-

Luck."

Horatio walked out of the morgue before I could finish my sentence. I swear talking to Horatio is like talking to a brick wall sometimes.

Natalia

I was working on a DNA test when Ryan walked, nearly scaring the shit out of me.

"Natalia, I have o question Jamie." Ryan stated.

"O-kay…?" I asked confused.

"Will you keep an eye on Renee for me?"

I shut my left eye and concentrated on Renee with my right eye and waited for Ryan to react to my smartass remark.

He laughed and shook his head.

"Thank-you, Natalia. I owe you big!"

Keeping an eye on Renee is like keeping an eye on a fly. It takes a lot on concentration with her running around like a headless chicken.

"Okay. What next, Natalia?" Renee asked me.

I was having Renee run some errands for me so she would not get in my hair too much but I understand why she acts this way.

"Take this to Alexx in the morgue." I said.

She took a DNA test result from my hand and ran towards the direction of Alexx's office.

"What next?" Renee anxiously asked.

"Back already?" I asked, completely shocked.

"Yeah…"

"Okay. Um…I ran out of errands for you to run so you can just chill here if you want to." I said and pushed a chair towards her.

"Okay."

She sat down on the chair I offered her and started to ask me questions about Ryan.

"What is he like?" Renee asked.

"He's nice, generous, happy person with a great personality, loves his work here and has OCD…badly."

"What was he before coming to work here in the CSI department?"

"He was a cop."

"Are you and my uncle dating?"

"Yes."

The next question surprised me even though I knew it would pop up some time sooner or later.

"Do you understand my abuse?"

"Yes."

"How?"

I felt my eyes begin to water so I shut my eyes and breathed in and out slowly to hold back the tears for the time being. This always seems to help.

"My-my ex-husband."

Frank

"Tripp!" somebody yelled out.

I ran to the noise of my name being called and asked them what was wrong.

"Jamie. He's trying to escape from the cops down by the holding cells."

I called Horatio and told him what was happening and he met me down there…in a way…

When I reached the holding cells, Horatio was lying on the floor hand clenching his stomach and one of the cops there had a pistol in his hand and Jamie was handcuffed and held to the ground.

Calleigh

"Your uncle is a dork, Renee." I said to her.

"A big one at that." Natalia added.

"My mom was a dork when she was happy." Renee told us.

"Twins…" the three of us said together.

From the hallway we heard somebody yelling, "HORATIO'S BEEN SHOT! HE'S BEEN SHOT!!!"

I stepped into the hallway and saw Eric screaming this and running at the same time.

I said to Natalia and Renee, "Look its Eric the Screaming Banshee."
