Hank walked out of his office with his jacket in hand.

"We've got a hit on Antonio's car. Let's go"!

Caitlin was standing in a heartbeat trailing behind Hank. Adam and Jay following behind. In the car on the drive over she was quiet. The sound of her heartbeat covered all exterior sounds. She had been in some very stressful and scary times when working undercover for the DEA but never had her heart pounded like it was now, she was convinced that Jay could most probably hear it from the driver's seat.

He looked at her from the corner of his eye as he followed Hank's car. He wondered what thoughts could be crossing her mind. There had been times when he and Erin had been together, that he had asked himself how he would react if something happened to her, but it never had. There was a big difference between imagining and reality.

"Cat, I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to imply anything sexist".

She kept looking straight ahead and didn't even blink. "Don't worry about it". She said calmly.

"We'll find him".

Caitlin didn't know much about the guy who had been threatening Kelly but knowing the past events, she knew that he was no schoolboy.

"Don't say things you're not sure about Jay, not even to give me hope or make me feel better. We know what this guy is capable of doing, so don't talk to me like you'd talk to a family member who knows nothing".

"You're right. I'm sorry".

They pulled up in an alley and stopped the car. Caitlin tried to open the door but it was locked. She looked at Jay. "Let's go. What are you waiting for"?

As much as he hated it he couldn't open the door. Not yet. He looked at her with the strongest look of apology he could give her. "I'm sorry Cat. I can't open the doors".

"What? What are you talking about"?

"We need to wait here. That was the order given to me".

Cat frowned and looked as Hank got out of his car and look at her.

She pressed her lips together and shook her head. "He doesn't want me near the crime scene, so he told you to keep me locked up in this freaking car"?!

Jay put his hand on hers to calm her down. "Cat he's only looking out for you. No one knows what we are going to find. He's preventing you from seeing something you may not be ready to see".

"Like what? Like my….", her voice trailed off. She couldn't say the words. She could say them to herself in her head but not out loud, 'my dead husband'. She closed her eyes and fought back the tears and slowly tried to calm down.

Hank and Adam walked over to the patrolman. "Has anyone touched the vehicle"?

"No Sergeant. We shut off the access to the alley on both sides and secured the perimeter, Sir. Detectives Burgess and Olinsky are already on the scene".

Hank nodded and walked down the alley, he turned the corner and saw the car from afar.

Al walked over to join Hank and Adam before they headed together to the car.

"We've got multiple bullet impacts on the car, we've got shells behind Antonio's car, in front of it and on Antonio's side. The one's on Antonio's side correspond with his gun, so I'm guessing he fired back".

Al paused for a moment and looked over Hank's shoulder.

"What is it"? asked Hank.

Seeing that they were alone, he resumed his findings. "We've got blood on both the passenger and driver side of the car, inside and outside the vehicle".

"No bodies"? asked Adam.

"No".

Hank nodded and walked around the car for a moment before talking his radio. "All clear".

Jay unlocked the car and Caitlin jumped out of it. He was expecting her to head for the car but she stood there and looked around.

"What is it"?

"Antonio would never venture out in an alley especially when there is no reason to". She pointed to the street they had taken. "That's a main road. Why would he deviate from the main road into an alley"?

He nodded. "I'm with you on that one. Keep going".

She walked towards the alley entrance and looked up and down the main road. "There's no signs of there having been road work, so the street wouldn't have been closed off".

"Maybe not official road work", said Jay. "Maybe they set up a fake road work and since the alley goes all around back to the main road further down, it was set up as a detour".

Cat nodded. "Makes sense. Once in the alley, they had nowhere to go.. they were ambushed".

"They really thought this through. We have no pods here and I doubt any of the shops we saw coming over have cameras".

Caitlin looked across the street and felt a rush of welcomed adrenaline. "You're right, but they forgot that banks have surveillance cameras on ATM machines"!

Jay turned and looked at what she was pointing at. Across the street was a Bank of America ATM. He grabbed his phone. "I'll call them right now and have a perimeter set up around it".

She nodded, turned around and headed back down the alley. He looked at her as he waited for the line to pick up on the other end. "You want me to go with you"?

She turned around and tried to smile at him. "No, I'm OK. Thanks".

She sat at her desk, her arms folded and staring at the empty desk across from her. Everyone else was either on the phone or checking out files and records. But it wasn't because she was lost in her thoughts that she wasn't doing her part of the work. It was just more silent and subtle. There were good things and bad things in regards to what they had found on the scene. The blood obviously wasn't good because it meant they were injured, but the good thing was that they hadn't been left dead in the car. That could be a good thing as it could indicate that they weren't dead. The other end of it was that they could have been killed somewhere else and gotten rid of. If they weren't dead, then other questions arose in her mind: why? And where were they? It was clear that this wasn't a kidnapping, so no ransom would be asked, unless this guy along with a vengeance plan had become greedy. None of it really made any sense. Knowing that he had left Emily to die in the river, why would he spare Kelly and Antonio? Maybe he wanted to make Kelly suffer. But he had no axe to grind with Antonio, so there was no point in making him suffer. Antonio was not the one he wanted all along, he was excess baggage. She felt it suddenly hard to breathe. What do you do with excess baggage? You get rid of it! Oh my God, she thought to herself, he's dead!

She let out a gasp without realizing it and they all looked up from what they were doing. Before anyone could say anything, she stood from her desk. She felt lightheaded but still headed for the kitchen as naturally as possible as the room spun. She arrived in the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee and headed for the coffee pot.

The sound of shattering porcelain was heard coming in from the kitchen. Adam who was returning from the video lab at that moment was the first one into the kitchen.

"I need some help in here"! he yelled out as he walked towards Caitlin who was sprawled out unconscious on the floor with a bleeding wound on her forehead. Both Kim and Jay who were on the phone looked at each other. Al jumped to his feet and hastened towards the kitchen almost bumping into Hank who had opened his door and was walking out of it to see what the commotion was about.

Adam had taken a kitchen towel and was applying pressure to her open wound.

"What the hell happened"? asked Hank.

Adam shrugged. "She must have fainted and hit her head on the countertop".

"OK. Let's get her into the sofa and call for an ambulance", said Hank.

They gently lifted her up and Al returned to his desk to ask Trudy to call for an ambulance. When he came back he looked at Hank. "I know you're not going to like me telling you this, but maybe this is more than she can handle".

Hank nodded. There was nothing he hated more than to admit he was wrong, but maybe both Al and Crowley were right!
