21 days

Calleigh gave up on trying to fall asleep, it just wasn't working she looked at the alarm next to her bed

3:45 AM

She looked at the date it's been 21 days

21 freaking days, no killer caught, and Ryan is getting worse

The doctors said it's for the best and that thing is getting smaller but Calleigh didn't saw what was inside his head she saw was on the outside and that was pain

She tried to listen to any sounds

Its quiet here maybe he's asleep for a change

She got up from the bed

It's not like I'm going to fall asleep today maybe I should go threw the case…again

She got out of her bedroom and when she closed the door she heard somebody walking towards her

"Who's there?" she jumped

"Hav" was the answer

"Jenson" she called when she sow the dog "sweetie you scared me you hungry"

The dog shook his big head and said another "hav" and started to walk towards Ryan's bedroom before he entered he looked at her again

"Ok Jenson now you scaring me" she said and followed the dog when she entered Ryan's bedroom she saw that he wasn't in bed

"Ryan?" she called worried "where are you?"

"In here" came his voice from his bathroom

"Oh thank g'd" sighed Calleigh "are you ok?"

"I'm fine mom; you started to do bed checks on me?"

"No Jenson brought me here" said Calleigh petting the dog's head, the German shepherd was bigger then her

"That little hairy snitch" said Ryan with a chocked voice

"What are you doing up?" asked Calleigh watching the dog jump on Ryan's bed and grabbing one of his pillows with his teeth

"I just brushing my teeth that's all" came another chocked answer

"Yeah it makes a lot of sense in four o'clock in the morning" said Calleigh sarcastically "Jenson" she hissed at the dog who refused to let Ryan's pillow go

"It makes sense when you spend the entire day throwing up and you're not even strong enough to get out of bed" said Ryan "now that I can I need to brush those damn teeth because I feel like a homeless and not just because I'm living in your home"

"Don't be stupid" snapped Calleigh "so you're better"

"A bit"

"Ok, I guess" said Calleigh with a slight disbelief "are you going back to sleep?"

"Not anytime soon what about you?" he asked

"No" sighed "and technically I never went to sleep, want to go threw the case with me…again"

"Sure, I'll be right there"

"Ok" said Calleigh and was about to make her way to the kitchen when the dog blocked her way still holding the pillow in his teeth

"Jenson bad boy" she snapped at the dog "what did we said about stealing people's things?"

The dog threw the pillow at her

"Now you're really bad boy" she said and was about to threw the pillow back to Ryan's bed when she saw something that drew her attention it was a stain

Is this… blood!

"Ryan I'll kill you" she said and started to knock on his bathroom door "I warned you not to lie to me, open the damn door!"

Ryan gave in and opened the door

"Oh g'd Ryan" she said desperately when she saw him "brushing teeth my ass, why are you doing this to yourself"

"It stopped" said Ryan "it's not the my first nose bleed in the last three weeks and not the last"

"But it never was that bad look at yourself" she said

"I thought I can handle it" he said quietly

"What if you would pass out and Jenson wasn't here ha? Then what?"

Ryan didn't answer

"Stubborn idiot" she said "now sit down please and let me take care of this mess…idiot"

0-0-0-0-0-0-0

"You're not answering my messages for days and if you don't want to contact me right now its ok I'm not mad I understand I really do, but just please send me something so I'll know that you somewhere out there even if you don't want to write me anymore because it's ok but when there is no sound of you I'm really worried"

She sent the message closed the phone and made her way back to the scene

Three weeks without Ryan, twenty-one days, 504 hours… Natalia you lost it

Please answer Ryan, just anything

Calleigh is late again, what If something happened to him?

Here comes that feeling again like somebody is watching me? Am I that crazy? Probably

She looked at the victim and shook her head in shock, next to her Eric and James stood also in shock

"Note?" asked Natalia quietly

"I'm sorry for pushing my life forward without thinking about anyone else, she doesn't deserve me" quoted Eric "damn it Adrianna Villani, how did you got involved in this?" he added

"Did someone called Montana?" asked Natalia

"And tell him what? 'Hi Greg how's it going you're a single father now"

"You forgot how to talk to victim's families Eric?" asked Natalia

"Not the ones that I know" snapped Eric

"If Calleigh's late again don't take it out on me I have a lot of frustration that I'm not taking out on you and now in addition to this we have a friend that now will have to raise his daughter alone"

"You know what" said James to stop the argument "I'll call him"

"No I'll call him" said Eric and walked away

"Ok Ryan's got to get back soon and this damn killer need to get caught so everybody will be back to being sane" said James

"Yeah" sighed Natalia "the note talks about her kid right?"

"Yeah" answered James "carrier woman, divorced fits to the profile"

"Can I start here?"

"Knock yourself out" said James

"Natalia dodged the pick up her kit and her face almost met the asphalt"

"Here we go again right" said James holding her "you going to see a doctor it's like me going to watch a ballet right? Not a chance in hell"

Natalia smiled lightly "I don't have the time"

"You'll find one and I don't care how" said James "I'm serious I've let you go easy in the last five times but that's it, you're going to see a doctor or else I'm telling your boss and I don't care how angry it'll make you got it"

Natalia nodded quietly

"Good now go grab a bench or something and rest" ordered James

"But the scene…"

"You're not the only CSI in the world lady" said James

"But…"

"I'm calling" said James pooling his cell phone out

"Ok, I'm going" she gave in and left the road, behind the trees she saw a secluded area, only grass and nothing more

Ryan would've loved that it's a great place for someone who's looking for peace and quiet

Suddenly came another dizziness Natalia felt like her arms and legs loosing power she wanted to scream but her voice was gone and the last thing she heard before she met the darkness was Calleigh's voice

"Natalia!"

0-0-0-0-0-0-0

"Do it!" ordered her voice on the phone

"But this place is surrounded by cops" he resisted

"They only care about the crime scene they're not looking where you are" she insisted

"But we're not even sure" he tried to argue, he just didn't feel like it was worth the risk

"I'm sure, do it now while she's still not awake"

"But theirs is a blond cop running to her direction" he resisted again

"So take her too it's not like you can't" said the voice and closed her phone

He didn't liked the situation but he couldn't disappoint her these two female cops are coming with him to their last journey
