Everything comes down to this! Can Ryan get to Horatio and Gibbs in time? What will happen with the rest of the case? Is Calleigh really pregnant? Will Natalia find them?
MIAMIMIAMIMIAMIAMIAMIAMI
Horatio and Gibbs were in the van with six men starring at them. The biggest guy was driving.
"So, do I need to remind you what happened to my littler girl? The one who you did not even try to rescue?" Paolo asked.
"Nope, it is pretty clear to me, what about you Horatio?" Gibbs asked.
"Clear as crystal." Horatio said.
"There you go." Gibbs said.
Paolo slapped Gibbs so hard that it left a cut on his face.
AT THE WAREHOUSE
There was a noise from behind them.
"Did you there that?" Ziva asked as she got her gun out.
"Yeah." Calleigh said as she did the same.
They moved up and the realized who it was.
"Natalia!" Calleigh said.
"Calleigh!" Natalia yelled as she put her gun down and came out. She ran over to Calleigh and they gave each other a hug.
"Natalia!" Eric said. Tony and him walked over.
"Are you guys all right?" Natalia asked.
"Almost all of us." Ziva said as she looked at Calleigh.
"I'm fine, I just had a stomach bug."
"You need a doctor." Ziva said.
"You all do." Natalia said.
"Has Ryan had any luck finding them?" Tony asked.
"Not yet. I left first to find you guys."
"We have to find them." Calleigh said.
"Before something bad happens." Tony added.
IN THE VAN
"Did we really do all of that, Horatio?" Gibbs asked.
"I'm not sure the last part is quite right, I am pretty sure that you failed to rescue her and that you killed her." Horatio said.
Paolo punched Horatio in the stomach.
"When we are done with you, with your friends, you will wish you were dead."
"Nah, I think what we would do…" Gibbs started to say when the driver slammed on the breaks and made a hard right turn.
"Paolo! A helicopter and cars are chasing us!" the driver yelled.
"Get to the highway!" Paolo yelled.
"That's not very bright." Horatio said.
Paolo slapped him and gave him a similar cut that he gave Gibbs.
"Why?" Paolo asked.
"More cars mean more traffic, less space to drive." He answered.
"I'm not going to listen to you." Paolo snapped.
Then the driver slammed on the brakes and the car started to turn.
"Told you." Horatio said.
Then they heard voices outside the car.
"Say one word and I will shoot you." Paolo said.
The driver rolled down the window.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
"Yeah you see I have these two people missing, one has red hair, sunglasses, always stands to the left with his hands on his hips to look at the sun." Someone said.
Then someone else spoke.
"The other one looks a bit old, needs a shave, he tends to slap people on the head."
"No, sorry." The driver said.
"Now, Ryan do you believe that?" Tony asked.
"It is hard because my friends escaped and got a picture of the plate and this is the van." Ryan answered.
Then there was a bang from outside the van. Gibbs and Horatio smiled. The van doors flew open and standing there was Ryan, Natalia, Calleigh, Eric, Tony, and Ziva pointing guns at them.
"Not cool." Tony said.
The men put their hands in the air and stepped out. Horatio and Gibbs soon stepped out. Gibbs walked up to Tony.
"Old? Needs to shave?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah, boss well…" Tony started to say when Gibbs slapped him on the head.
Ziva and Calleigh walked over to the two guys, one that they had fought and they both kneed them where it counts and started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Ryan yelled.
"We have been locked in a box all day," Ziva said and then Ziva and Calleigh both said,
"The ladies room!"
Ziva, Tony, Gibbs, Horatio, Eric, and Calleigh all sat in the break room. They were all dirty. They didn't go back to get changed when they got to Miami. They just sat there with coffee.
"You drink your coffee with nothing in it?" Eric asked Gibbs.
"That's the way I like it." He answered.
"I need to get cleaned up." Ziva said. She and Tony stood up and walked out. They walked towards the elevator and when the doors opened, McGee came flying out in hurry and hit Tony and the fell.
"Oh Tony! I'm sorry!" he said.
"Where have you been McGeek? You missed all the fun, but thank you for the bloody nose." Tony said as the stood up.
"The plane was late…." He stuttered.
"Tissue, again." He said.
"I don't have one." McGee said.
Tony took his tie and wiped all the blood on it.
"Thank you." He said as he and Ziva stepped in the elevator.
McGee stood there with blood all over his tie. Then Gibbs came from behind him and startled him.
"Don't bother unpacking." He said as he went towards the stairs.
HORATIO'S OFFICE
Calleigh, Eric, and Horatio sat there. It was silent.
"A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime." Horatio said.
"What?" Calleigh asked.
"I have known both of you for a long time. I have known you as to be some of the greatest co-works I have ever worked with and my friends. What surprises me is that you never told me what was going on," he said as he wiped the blood off of him from his cut.
"What if I told you, it was all meant to be?"
"Horatio…" Eric started to say.
"It took you an much longer amount of time to figure it out that after every single person you have dated, the one person you love is in front of you."
Calleigh smiled.
"I guess you figured it out that…" Calleigh started to say.
"That Eric got you pregnant? Please, it was so obvious." He said with a smile.
"It didn't mean to happen, I…" Calleigh started to say.
"Do you think I want to hear how it happened!"? Horatio said with a smile as he sat up in his seat. They all smiled.
"I didn't think so." Eric said.
"I will always be here, Alexx will always be here, Ryan will, Natalia will, and we all will always be here."
Calleigh pulled something out from her bag. It was a picture of her, Eric, Horatio, and Speedle walking down to the crime scene on a beach. She gave it to Horatio. Horatio sat back into his seat as he looked at the picture. They all looked so happy. Horatio took the picture and took so tape. He hung it on the glass wall. Then he went into his desk and took out another picture. It was a Christmas picture Alexx gave everyone. It was himself, Calleigh, Eric, Alexx, Ryan, Jesse, Walter, and Natalia. He taped it next to the other one.
"It's not right, H." Eric said. He ran out the door and sprinted down to the lab and back. He grabbed two photos and ran back.
"What is it Eric?" Horatio asked.
Eric took the tape and hung up the first one under the one with Speedle. It was himself, Horatio, Alexx, Calleigh, and Speedle. Then next to it, he put a picture of himself, Horatio, and Calleigh.
"Now it is done." Eric said.
"It will never be done Eric." Calleigh said as they all looked at it. She took out her phone and texted people. About 10 minutes later, everyone showed up in Horatio's office.
"Hey Calleigh, why did you want the pictures we keep in our lockers?" Ryan asked.
Then they all looked at the wall.
"Well wait," Ryan said as he went and took them off and flipped them over. "Now we can all see it." The glass wall was over the hallway that leads into the lab. Nothing was blocking the view of it and the pictures were big enough to see what each one was. Horatio smiled as he saw what everyone was doing.
They all took their pictures and started hanging them up. Ryan went first. Ryan had two pictures. The first one was himself, Walter, and Jesse at a football game. The last one he had was himself, Horatio, Calleigh, and Eric on his birthday. Natalia went next. She hung up a picture of herself, Calleigh, Alexx, and Valera. That night had been a girl's night out. The last one she had was herself and Horatio at the lab picnic. Alexx stepped forward to add her pictures. She had three. The first one was her and Horatio, the next one was her, Eric, Calleigh, Horatio, and Speedle at her birthday party, and the last one was of her and Calleigh laughing at the Christmas party. Next was Jesse. He had two. One of him and Horatio in the older days before he left for California and then the other one were of them when he got back. Last was Walter, he stepped up with two pictures. It was himself, and the team at the picnic and then himself, Jesse, Eric, and Ryan having a boy's night out. When everyone was done, the wall was only half full. Then they all went down to look at it.
"It will never be done." Horatio said as they all looked at it. He also knew that Speedle would always be watching them from above.
