-Chapter 11-


Eric made his way back to the lab. He had no idea how he was going to do this, but Horatio suggested that he watched the DVD in the four hours transition between the day shift and night shift. Ryan was in the A/V lab as Eric stepped through the doors.

"Hows it going?" Ryan asked.

"I don't know." Eric rolled his eyes as he glanced out in the lab as someone gave him a thumbs up. "If I didn't know any better I'd swear...

"Thats where you want my tongue isn't it?" he heard his voice say. Then he heard Calleigh's voice. "Yeah...oh god, Eric. Don't stop."

"Wolfe!" Eric said.

Ryan's eyes were fixed on the images before him. He couldn't help it. Calleigh was laying in the bed fully naked, her legs wide open, Eric's head between them.

Eric turned off the monitor. "How did you get this video?"

"I...I thought it was evidence," Ryan said. "I got it in my e-mail. It said 'Calleigh Duquesne- Dirty Little Secret'."

"What?! This is out?"

Ryan looked up at Eric.

"Wolfe, we didn't make this," Eric said. "This needs to be pulled off immediately."

"Okay," Ryan said, sitting up. "This can be fixed before anybody finds out. If they haven't already." He began working with the computer. "I'll just look up the IP address for the person who sent the email and then reset the computer and company emails and hope for the best."

"Alright," Eric said. The moment was awkward enough.

Ryan let out a sigh. "I didn't know you and Calleigh were in a relationship."

"Yeah, its private and we would like to keep it that way. Or would've liked to have kept it that way."

The machine beeped and the IP address had been found. "Why am I not surprised?" Ryan said. "So many things have come back to this man today."

"Lets bring him in then," Eric said.

"Yeah, he's here already. He's resting in the morgue. Remember the day we collected evidence from the boat? Well the fingerprints belonged to David Rogers. Natalia and I went over to his house and he was dead. Shot in the head."

"Yeah, they're searching for the other member of the posse," Eric said. "He's probably the person that was at my apartment today." Eric looked away. "He probably has Calleigh with him now."

"I'll get the bullet from Tara and maybe we can find a gun and find the owner of it. Chances are, the person who owns the gun is the person who shot David Rogers and has Calleigh too. We're probably looking for the same person."

"Good thinking," Eric said. "I'm going to call Horatio and find out what he thinks about everything." Eric pulled out his phone and called Horatio. After a few minutes, he closed his cell phone. "Horatio has set up blockage at all outer perimeters of Miami. This case is still connected to Louisiana."

"Okay, well lets get to work." It was past Ryan's work day, but he would do anything to make sure Calleigh was safe. He glanced at the clock and noted that it was 6:42pm.

"You can go check and see if Tara has gotten the bullet from David Rogers and I'm going to see if I can isolate this video," Eric said, holding up the DVD. Ryan came to know that as 'the DVD.' Eric waited for Ryan to leave before he drew the blinds and started the video. One person he knew already caught glimpse of their personal life, he didn't want more.

---

"You think we can do some of those things that he did to you," one of the men teased. They kept messing with her and talking about the video. Another guy slip his hand between her legs and Calleigh pushed his hand away.

"That's okay. Push me away now, but we're going to have fun with you as soon as this starts to cool down," the man whispered in her ear.

"Why Calleigh, Why?" she questioned herself. Why hadn't she let Eric stay? But then again, these people were ruthless. If this day had been the day they'd plan and Eric got in the way, he could have possibly be dead right now and she didn't want to live with that fact. She'll make it out of this, she just had to find a way.

---

"It appears that we rounded up your crew, Mr. Murdock," Horatio said. "As you may know, your pal, David Rogers has been murdered."

"Kid didn't know what was coming to him," the suspect smirked. "If he can't get the job done, he doesn't deserve to have a life."

Horatio pursed his lips and changed positions. "What is it that you want with Ms. Duquesne? Its not like you can actually do anything to her. You're in jail."

"Oh Lieutenant, I wouldn't worry about me but if I were you, I would pay attention to my team because if anyone and I mean anyone step in my way again, I will not hesitate to kill them. Don't worry about me, I'll have my ways of getting out."

Horatio drummed his fingers alongside his waist and sighed. For the most part, the man was cooperating. But still, he was charged for kidnapping and assault of an officer so he wouldn't be getting out anytime soon.

"I know how to corrupt your prisoners here," Murdock added in. "One snap of the finger and this jail will go into a frenzy. And Lieutenant, I haven't done anything that would cause high security. I'm haven't put anyone in danger."

Horatio nodded, losing attention for one minute as someone tapped on the glass. It was another guard and he came in and whispered something in Horatio's ear. "Okay," Horatio said. "This man never leaves your sight." He walked out the room. He didn't know how far the guard could go before Christopher Murdock left his sight but right now, he had to work fast in finding Calleigh.

---

As if the events of the day wouldn't end, now there was a new problem; The 'Eric and Calleigh' movie was in circulation. Some of the night shift had seen it and came to Eric for answers about it. Eric had to find a way to get rid of all of it. He didn't know how many people saw it or how many were left to see it but it didn't need to go any further. He sighed. Ryan had done a good job at controlling the release of the emails but somehow, Eric didn't feel like that was enough. Looking at his watch, he noted the time at 9:45pm. It had been about six hours since Calleigh called him, four hours since he found out about the DVD in circulation and three hours since he arrived at the lab. Night shift had started taking over other cases, but this one, he was going to keep under wraps for himself.

"I'll be back in one minute," Eric said, stepping out the lab, falling in step with Ryan. "I'm going back to my house and see what I can find out."

After a twenty minute drive, Eric was now back in front of his apartment. He knew the neighbors we concerned. Every light from every condo was on, curtains were drawn and some faces were peeking out there windows whenever they're was a sound. Eric's apartment had yellow tape around it and the window was boarded up. Eric used his house keys and opened the door, cutting on the light and surveyed the area. He never imagined having to investigate his condo as a crime scene. He grabbed his flashlight and examined carefully around the room. There in the light he found something. People always leave something, Eric thought. Slipping in his gloves, Eric picked up what could be a plane ticket. "There planning on flying out." He looked at the time on the ticket, 10:12pm. His watch read 10:07pm now. Eric pulled out his cell phone. "H, they're flying out. You have got to stop that plan now." He closed his phone, praying that he wasn't too late. Eric ran out his apartment and jumped back in the Hummer and headed for the airport, thinking along the way. They had six hours with Calleigh. He just hoped that didn't do anything to her.

---

Oh this was the end for Calleigh and she knew it. She sat between two burly men on the plane. Calleigh just knew Eric would find her before she left but six hours, no Eric meant no rescue. So wondered if there was a way for her to escape. She did have six hours but nothing. She was surrounded by four guys all day at least up until this point. Two men were seated in first class and she and the two burly men were seated in coach. Calleigh swallowed her pride. Once she got on that plane she knew it was over. In just two hours, she would be back in Louisiana and...she couldn't bear to think about what else would happen.

"Ladies and Gentleman this is your Captain. We're being delayed because crew members are checking the plane for mechanical problems. We're expected to depart in twenty minutes."

Was this a sign? Did Eric know where she was? Calleigh hoped he did.

---

Natalia smiled. "These guy's are really stupid," she commented. "They bought a plane ticket through credit. It automatically went in the database."

"Well that's a good thing," Ryan said. "Same with the guy who distributed the emails and DVDs. His named popped up. I bet we get all of them on the plane."

"This Christopher Murdock guy has it all figured out. Its clear that he's the brains of this whole thing but I don't think he really wants to kill her, so that's good. I think he's trying to instill fear in her."

"Why would you think that?"

"Ryan, if he has been planning this for fifteen years do you think he would let three plans fail? When he got her the first time, he kidnapped her and beat her up. The second time in the hospital, one of his members were caught and now this. They're going to be apprehended again."

"Natalia, see, I think you're wrong about that. The first time, yeah, he probably didn't intend. The second time, he attempted. If Eric hadn't been there, I think she would've died. I'm not sure about this time. I think he was trying to humiliate her."

Natalia frowned. "Humiliate her? What are you talking about?"

In typical Ryan Wolfe fashion he started explaining the email 'Dirty Little Secret' to Natalia. "These guys sent the emails to the department so everyone could see Calleigh and Eric...you know."

"Oh wow, that's really low."

"Yeah, I think its taken care of it. We had the email re-routed. Its impossible to delete a sent email, so we re-routed the email to go to Spam. Hopefully no one really checks Spam."

Natalia put her hands on her head. "Wow. This is just crazy. At least we should be glad that Stetler is on vacation."

Eric pulled up at the airport, glancing at the clock before he got out. 10:20pm. Time was limited and his life was on that plane. He had to get in and save Calleigh now. He jumped out the truck and Horatio stood at the door. "H," Eric said.

"Eric, she's on that plane. We have to get to her now. Airport security has grounded the plane now guards are on the plane to make sure nothing happens. Our guys will be here any minute. When they come, you make your move," Horatio instructed.

"You're not going to come?" Eric asked.

Horatio sighed. "Everything seems to be under control. Its easy. The kidnappers are unarmed. You can handle it. Plus, she would rather see your face than mines." Horatio listened intently as the sounds of the radio cars were heard in the distance. The cars pulled up shortly after with there sirens off. Horatio was glad that they paid attention to his warning. He was starting to fell like they weren't going to. But he didn't know how these night shifts worked. He was used to his day shift team.

"Lieutenant Caine," one of the officers called. "Is the victim on the plane?"

Eric grind his teeth together and looked at Horatio as he started speaking.

"She's not a victim, she's a member of my team. Your men will only accompany CSI Delko. He's going to lead this." He turned his attention to Eric. "You ready?"

"Of course." Eric headed into the airport terminal with the uniformed officers in tow. After a quick check of the flights, he headed in the direction the plane was. Passengers in the terminal who were waiting for their flights watched in anticipation wondering what kind of security threat could be going on now. Little did they know, this was a rescue and Eric was feeling really proud. He broke the case.

Airport security moved out of the way as they saw Eric coming on the plane. A few officers followed Eric and the others went to another section of the plane. At least if no one saw them coming. A little more in the plane, Eric caught glimpse of blonde hair and knew it was Calleigh. Yeah she was sitting right between two men. After clearing the last few seats behind Calleigh, a few officers went to the seats and positioned their guns at the suspects head. Eric had this all planned out. And if they did anything to hurt Calleigh, there would be blood and brains all over this nice plane.

Eric's gun was already drawn and he moved so he was in front so the men could see him. "MDPD," Eric shouted, walking in view of the men. "Calleigh," Eric said.

Calleigh looked up and smiled.

"One of the men placed his hand on the back of Calleigh's neck. "Who the hell are you?"

"If I were you, I would remove my hand from her neck," Eric said, nodding for the cops to push their guns to the kidnappers head. When the guys felt that sensation, they put their hands up. "This wasn't any of our plans," one of the men said. "I didn't even know she was a cop."

"Yeah, I believe that," Eric said. It was an awkward place Calleigh was in but he pulled her up and the officers arrested the men.

"There are two others," Calleigh said, turning to Eric. "They're on the plane somewhere."

"Don't worry Calleigh, we'll get them too," Eric said, smiling. He gave Calleigh a tight hug. "I can't believe I almost lost you again."

Calleigh half smiled. "This guy wants me dead," she said. "Its going to keep going until something happens to him."

"We're working on it Calleigh," Eric said. "As of right now though, you'll never leave my sight again."

Another dramatic arrest in progress. The smile on Horatio's face when he saw Eric coming from the terminal with Calleigh was amazing. He knew Eric could do it. Another twenty minutes later and the other two kidnappers were arrested. Horatio stopped Eric. "Eric," Horatio said. "Eric...good job in there." He looked at Calleigh. "How are you doing?"

Calleigh rubbed her lips together. "For the moment, I'm okay." She looked down. "I'm worried."

"Don't worry," Horatio said. "We're working on bringing Christopher Murdock to justice." In Horatio's mind, the man should've been a lifer in Louisiana. No cop killer deserved to have the right to parole. He only hoped that the man's current charges of kidnap and assault along with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to kidnap, would be enough to bring a higher sentence for the man. Horatio looked at Eric. "You take care of her, okay?"

"Always," Eric said. He escorted Calleigh to the hummer and they drove off in the night.

Next chapter for sure, there will be hiphugger romance. But you know how it goes: first the drama then the romance. Its kind of a repetitive habit with me. Sorry for that. Also sorry for the errors I made with the last chapter. I hate making them. So here's the chapter, I hope you all enjoyed and please review to let me know what you think x
