I updated! *dances* I'm so proud. I hope you guys like this short chapter. I did, though I don't know why.

Mistakes=Mine, Magdalene=OC, Reviews=Love, CC=Welcomed, CSI Miami=NOT MINE. Now here's the new chapter. :)

Eric and Calleigh were at Ryan's place collecting the evidence they needed. Horatio was taking Magdalene to the lab. He would have to deal with Stetler there, but it was better at the lab than where he could interrupt his other two CSIs.

As they walked toward the building, Horatio told Magdalene to wait for him in his office. "I'll be there very soon."

She walked in the direction of his office, seeming almost dazed.

"Horatio."

"Rick."

"Do you mind explaining to me what's going on?"

"Actually Rick, I do."

"Horatio, you know I have to get involved. This is an officer related crime."

"All you need to know is that one of my CSIs is missing, and I'm going to find him before its too late." He proceeded to walk towards his office.

"I can't stay here forever Horatio."

He sighed. "I don't want you looking for him. I don't need you in the same position as him."

"He's my brother! I can't just sit here and wait for him to turn up dead!" She was royally pissed off. 'Why won't he listen?!'

"Magdalene, I need you here, where it's safe." He was wondering why she wouldn't listen.

"It's not my safety that's my concern." Her voice was dangerous and low.

"What if it's a trap?"

"I don't care if this monster blows Miami sky high, as long as my brother gets out alive."

"He will, but you have to calm down and stay here. Going out and chasing this person on your own will only get you in trouble. It may cause his death."

"Look who's talking." was her last words to him. She sat down in one of the chairs in his office. Magdalene was tired. She wanted to stay strong, but she didn't know how long that would last. Horatio just stayed and did his best he could to comfort. He didn't know how much she appreciated it.

Ryan was tired as well. This woman was insane, talking about not only her dead brother, but a mystery CSI that had figured her out. She was obsessed.

"So, my little Ryan, what do you desire most in life?" More questions, like he was going to answer them. "Please answer my questions." as if she was reading his mind.

Ryan only shook his head no. "But I wish to learn about you. Your mind intrigues me. I need to know of it before I take care of you and your sister."

Ryan glared at her. Mary was angry at him now. She pulled something out of a "You see this knife; I used it on my last friends. I'll use it on you if I have to. Now answer my questions!"

Ryan sighed; there was no use in being stubborn on this. He has to answer her questions, no matter what.

"Do you want any kids Ry?"

He told her yes, and interrogation continued.
