(At the Hospital)
Kara came out of the bathroom in a fresh pair of clothes feeling much better and ready to leave.
"I don't think this a good idea so soon." Horatio expressed tilting his head looking at her.
"Horatio I feel fine, Alexx says I'm ok, I'm just ready to go home and relax it's been a long few days." Kara explained.
The door swung open behind her, Kara turned around thinking it would be Alexx but her eyes widened seeing Rick Stetler in front of her, she backed away a few steps.
Horatio stood in front of her. "What are you doing here Rick?"
"You should already know that answer Horatio, it seems Kara has recovered so I've come to collect her." Rick told Horatio while staring at Kara.
Kara rolled her eyes. "Rick can't this wait? Maybe give me at least the night to recharge"
"Rick we just talked about this!" Horatio reminded him taking a step further.
Rick looked past Horatio again. "Oh I see Kara, you just don't care about keeping the charges against Berkley and Navarro, maybe you weren't even forced you probably went with Berkley, willingly didn't you?"
Kara pulled up her wrists with the red marks around them from the cuffs. "Does this look like a choice I had to you?! I am so tired of you always trying to push our buttons it's ridiculous!"
"Rick, I want you out of here." Horatio ordered.
"Kara, your statement, first thing tomorrow morning, if you don't show up I will send officers to escort you, is that understood?" Rick pointed his finger at her.
"Fine, whatever." Kara crossed her arms as Rick turned around and walked out of the room.
Alexx came back into the room looking back towards the door. "What's going on in here?"
"Rick just came in to remind us that he's a major pain." Kara commented while chuckling.
"I see, well you look like you're ready to take off, I'm guessing it's okay to skip the wheelchair for you?" Alexx asked.
"I would appreciate it." Kara told her.
"Ok baby." Alexx wrapped her in a hug
"you take care honey. I want a call if you start having any problems, got it?"
"Understood." Kara gave a thumb up.
Horatio smiled. "We will keep an eye on her Alexx."
"Alright then, I'll see you two later." Alexx opened the door and looked back once more and waved before leaving.
(At the Lab)
Ryan was walking by the holding cell where Jake and Esteban were supposed to be held but looked up and saw it empty, he glanced at the clipboard with the paperwork containing any updated information on current suspects being held in those specific spots and saw Releasedwritten under both of their names.
"What?" He exclaimed.
Ryan saw 2 officers nearby and approached them. "Excuse me but do either of you know who authorized the release of the 2 suspects we had in that cell?"
Both officers shook their heads.
Ryan huffed and pushed a hand through his hair. "Ok." He rushed off to find Frank.
Frank was looking down at his computer and was busy typing something that he didn't see Ryan come over towards him.
"Frank, we have a big problem!"
"What else could have possibly happened today Wolfe?" Frank continued staring at the screen.
"Someone released Jake and Navarro, there's not a signature to tell us who but they're both gone."
That got Frank's attention He looked up and stared at Ryan. "Oh boy..." He stood up and pulled out his phone. "I'd better call Horatio."
"You do that, I'm going to go tell the others."
Frank put his phone to his ear. "Yeah Horatio, we have a problem…"
