Horatio never moved and neither did Tasha. Tasha took quick glances at Horatio. She was smirking. I guess she had him right where she wanted him. I knew some things about her past and it had to do with Horatio.

"You're smarter than I thought Caine. But I want payback. And I'm sure you know what they say, 'Payback's a bitch.' I want you to feel the pain I went through when my father died because of you. And maybe your precious CSI will do just that." Tasha's crooked smile returned.

She was about to pull the trigger. A gunshot rang through the empty building, which made me jump back a foot. Tasha dropped her gun and in like slow motion she fell to her knees. Than onto her chest. Quickly blood flowed from her new back wound. Horatio walked over to her and put his gun away.

Mike and I were heading for the back door already. It wasn't because we were afraid of being put in jail. We figured out Jonny was missing and that was what Tasha had meant when she said it would blow any minute. Jonny was going to make the place explode.

"You should probably leave unless you feel like getting blown up into hundreds of little pieces." Mike said as we were getting closer to the door.

"And it won't be our fault if you die." I added.

They were out of the death trap building after that. Me and Mike were almost free and out from the building. As we got a few feet away from the building it exploded. I felt myself get picked up by the blast and thrown fifty feet from where we were standing. I hit the ground with a thump. My entire body was full of sharp, shooting pain. A few feet away from me laid an unconscious Mike. He had slammed into a tree before stopping. The last thing I saw before blacking out was the raging fire.

Sorry it's so short. The next one I think is shorter… but I hoped you liked the chapter.
