"They're all corrupt. They all are. They're watching us. The government is watching my every move. They know, they know." The man mumbled as he was pacing in his living room.

His whole life he had tried to warn people about the corruptions in the government, the aliens and the few people who were still honorable. Three months earlier he had approached Lt. Horatio Caine and told him about the coming alien invasions and the corruption. How the government and the president were secretly watching their every move. The red head had kindly listened to him and then politely told him that he couldn't help him. But Marcus knew. Marcus knew that the aliens were coming and that the red head was the only one who could help. But to make him listen he had have take power over him.

Marcus smiled as the red head appeared on the news. For the last two weeks Marcus had detonated bombs at public places, he had always called a hear and warned the police but the bombs had still detonated. Nobody had gotten hurt so far and the red head didn't even seem to understand that Marcus wanted him and the world to just listen to him. So he had to move to plan B. Human sacrifice for the aliens and human sacrifice to make the red head and the few uncorrupt people listen to him.
"Why won't anybody listen to me?" Marcus exclaimed and threw a glass at the wall.

"They're always watching us." He approached the TV and listened as the red head said "No comments."

Marcus touched the red head's face on the screen.

"I'll make you listen even if I have to kill your wife and children Lt. You're the only one who can stop them." Marcus smiled, "The only one Lt. You'll listen to me. You'll have no choice."

"I can't even go to the mall without somebody recognizing me. People used to recognize me before too, but not like this. Now people are telling me to catch the bad guy fast and to never stop." Horatio groaned as he sat down on the couch after a night filled with cries from the boys.

Kevin and Joshua were now 7 months old and during the last two weeks Horatio had barely been home to see them when they were awake. So even if he needed his sleep during the night, he was happy to have stayed up since two am with his boys just to spend time with them. Sophia was usually awake when he came home and he could at least talk on the phone with her.

"I know honey, but they are encouraging you. They mean well." Jessica said as she sat down next to her husband.

Joshua and Kevin were loudly banging their toys on the floor. They had discovered the joy of making loud noises.

"Mommy." Sophia sighed as she came down the stairs.

Jessica picked her daughter up and sat her down in her lap.

"What is it sweetheart?" She asked.

"Evin and Osh bad." Sophia sighed.
"They're not bad sweetheart; they're just making a lot of noises." Jessica smiled.

Sophia sighed and reached out her arms to hug daddy. Horatio held her for a long time before Sophia wanted breakfast. Horatio wanted to stay home and eat breakfast with his family but when his phone rang he knew he needed to get to work early again.

"Go baby, it's fine." Jessica said, "Go and catch that bomber."

Horatio smiled and gave her a kiss before hugging all his children and then leave. Jessica sighed and started to make breakfast. She had no problem accepting the hours Horatio sometimes had to work, but she was worried about the pressure that he had on him at the moment. And she was worried that the bomber would start attacking the team or start hurting people. It didn't help that she was afraid to go outside either because the bomber put bombs in public places. Malls, libraries, public bathrooms and so on. She couldn't hide inside forever, but she tried to stay out of public places as much as she could.

Calleigh greeted her boss with a smile when he exited the elevator to the lab. Calleigh was now 21 weeks pregnant and she and the team had found what could probably break the case.

"Horatio, the team and I found a fingerprint." Calleigh smiled, "It belongs to Marcus Fenderman."

"Marcus Fenderman?" Horatio asked surprised.

"Yeah, you know him?"

"He warned me about corruption and alien invasions three months ago." Horatio sighed, "I should have known he's the bomber."

"You couldn't have known. I remember him now. We have no current address, but he's been in and out of mental institutions his whole life." Calleigh said.

The rest of the team joined their bullet girl and boss at the receptionist's desk.

"We checked up some more about Marcus Fenderman." Ryan said, "He has a master's degree in chemistry. He studied it while he was institutionalized. His doctor didn't think it was any harm with it."

"He suffers from severe paranoia. Claiming that aliens will attack us and that the government is watching us." Walter said.

"You did all of this while I was at home?" Horatio asked.

"Well, you worked three hours of overtime yesterday evening so we figured we'd come in three hours earlier and let your rest." Jesse said.
Horatio smiled and nodded.

"Well, let's talk to his doctor and find out if he knows where Marcus is." Horatio said as the mail arrived.

The team didn't stay to collect any mail yet, they could take it later. Case first, mail letter.

-I-

"I'll make him listen. He'll believe me after today. Only two hours left." Marcus mumbled as he sat on the bed rocking back and forth.

He hated to put the Lt. in danger or anyone in his team, but sometimes it was necessary to do such things to make people listen. After all, it had worked on his parents. Marcus had killed their two cats as a child to get their attention. They had listened while he warned them and then sent him off to a mental institution. However, he wasn't angry at them. They had at least listened, but Marcus was pretty sure that their souls were taken by the aliens or that the government was using them in secret experiences.

"In two hours. Lt. Caine will listen." Marcus smiled.

He would be a hero. A hero that had saved the world from an alien invasion and from the corrupt government. With Lt. Caine's help, he would succeed.

"This time no warning will come." Marcus mumbled, "It is the only way."

-I-

"So we know that Marcus is our bomber, but we can't find him." Ryan sighed.

He, Calleigh and Horatio were on their way back from lunch. The rest of the team had taken an earlier lunch, while the three of them had been called to work with a homicide case not related to their current case.

"Yeah, and with paranoia as severe as his he can believe that anyone is an alien or corrupt." Calleigh said as the elevator arrived.

They all stepped inside the elevator.

"And he can detonate another bomb anywhere and anytime." Ryan sighed.

"He is sticking to public places right now and he's called a head every time to warn us so nobody can get hurt." Horatio said.

"Yeah, we can at least expect a call first." Ryan sighed, "Still doesn't help us catch him though."

"No, but it shows he doesn't want to hurt anybody." Calleigh said.

The exited the elevator and the receptionist, Laura, reached out an envelope for Horatio to take. Before he had the chance to even get close enough to take it, it blew up! Sending Laura flying back against the wall, killing her instantly and making Ryan, Horatio and Calleigh fall back against the elevator doors and knocking all three of them unconscious. As the lab panicked and called both the bomb squad and ambulances; Marcus planned his next attack. He was far from finished.

Laura died immidiately, but the three CSIs and the baby in Calleigh's belly were okay… for now.
