Chapter 10
Deanna sat in the back of the ambulance, her legs swinging back and forth over the edge of the ambulance. A blonde-haired female medic looked her over for injuries as the brunette's mind processed the events that occurred a mere 20 minutes ago. The medic asked the detective a few questions. Finishing the exam, the medic reported no serious injuries only a few bruises.
"Thanks." Deanna told the medic, who simply nodded and walked off leaving the brunette with her thoughts. Out of the corner of her eye, Deanna saw a department hummer pull into the paved driveway behind a patrol car. Horatio climbed out of the hummer into the Miami sunshine, taking his sunglasses off. The redhead walked in the direction of the ambulance, spotting the brunette.
"Deanna how are you feeling?" He asked softly, twiddling with his sunglasses. She jerked her head in his direction, their eyes locking.
"I'm a little sore and have a few bruises but I'll be fine." She answered. Horatio nodded his head, glancing back up at her he said: "We have Kevin in the back of a patrol car, would you like to accompany me in interviewing him?"
Deanna cracked a smile, a real smile and jumped onto the ground. "I would love to." The pair strolled over to the patrol car resting in the driveway in a comfortable silence, each lost in their own thoughts.
Horatio nodded in greeting to the uniformed officer leaning against the patrol car housing Kevin. The officer nodded back and opened the back door, revealing Kevin sitting in the backseat with his hands handcuffed behind his back. He refused to meet Deanna's eyes, his head hung low.
"Kevin, we need to ask you a very important question." Deanna told him, her voice firm and steady. Kevin looked up at her his brown eyes cold as ice.
"Shoot." Kevin simply stated, leaning against the backseat as best he could with his hands behind his back.
"Where are the CSIs you kidnapped?" She asked, her voice as cold as his eyes.
He laughed. "And why would I tell you?"
Deanna thought about it for a moment then replied, "Because Kevin we have proof that you kidnapped two police officers and you murdered Katherine Davis."
Horatio nodded, speaking up from his spot beside the brunette. "That's right Kevin you're looking at life in prison. Tell us the location of the warehouse.
Deanna proceeded. "I know you feel remorse about this, I saw it in your eyes for a second when you attacked me."
Kevin sighed in defeat. "The CSIs are at 1531 Star Street."
Horatio grabbed his cell phone placing a call to Eric and Ryan informing them of Calleigh and Natalia's location and telling them to meet them there. Next he called an ambulance, giving dispatch the warehouse's location.
The redhead and brunette sprinted toward the parked hummer and climbed in. Horatio started the engine and flipped the siren and lights on. The hummer raced down the street, taking a left turn and headed for the freeway.

Eric raced down the freeway, lights and siren on and blaring. His thoughts were jumbled as he focused on the road. "I hope Cal and Nat are okay." Sitting in the passenger seat, Ryan gazed through the windshield, holding on to the passenger seat as the hummer took the next exit toward Star Street.
The hummer continued down Star Street, Ryan looking out the passenger side window for the warehouse. He spotted it and pointed out the location to Eric. The Cuban CSI turned into the parking lot of the warehouse, the SUV jerking to a stop. Ryan and Eric jumped out of the SUV, they could hear the sound of sirens wailing in the distance.
The pair withdrew their weapons and approached the warehouse slowly and cautiously. Ryan motioned for Eric to go first, the two CSIs walked slowly to the entrance, eyes and ears alert. Entering the warehouse Eric yelled, "MDPD". He heard a female voice crying for help.
The male CSIs went deeper into the warehouse until they spotted Calleigh and Natalia tied to chairs. Eric took off in Calleigh's direction, Ryan running toward Natalia to untie the women.
"It's ok Calleigh, Natalia Kevin was arrested. You are safe now." Eric said softly as he struggled with the rope confining the platinum blonde. He pulled on the rope harder freeing Calleigh's arms. Next the Cuban CSI worked on the rope confining her long legs. With a hard tug on the rope, Calleigh was freed from the chair. She collapsed into his arms, burying her face into his chest, sobbing.
Ryan freed Natalia, embracing her as she cried softly.
Calleigh looked up at Eric, her eyes were red and puffy. "I love you." She said softly. "I love you too." Eric said, smiling warmly as he held her in his arms.
Shortly after Deanna and Horatio arrived along with the paramedics. Calleigh and Natalia were escorted outside to the waiting ambulance to be checked over, Eric and Ryan following the women.
As they passed Horatio and Deanna, the two women gave them each a hug. "Thank you Deanna for helping find us." Calleigh said, releasing her and walking off.
The redhead turned to the brunette. "Thank you Deanna for assisting us, hopefully we'll talk again under better circumstances." The pair shook hands.
Deanna nodded, said her goodbyes and walked toward the warehouse exit.
With her back turned to the redhead she smiled to herself. The team was once again reunited and safe.
