A/N: Inspired by 7x19 & 7x20 of CSI Miami. A short preview of what's to come. :P


PART 5: WHAT HAPPENED TO RYAN?


"Where's Wolfe?" "I thought he was with you!"


"Where, McGee?"

"A forest off the side of the freeway."

"A forest?" Tim just nodded his head.

Gibbs had to take a hunch on this. Technology didn't lie. Unless someone knew how to tell a lie with it. "Lets go." He told Kate. Special Agent Todd followed the oldest agent of the MCRT.

Ryan stayed sat down in his seat. "Did I do something wrong?" "No. Kate can be a little sharp with her words." The young man sighed. "Nothing I haven't heard before. Can I go and make a quick call to my boss?" Abby smiled. "Yeah, sure!"

He took out his phone and flipped it open, walking into the empty hallway and holding the phone to his ear.

"Caine."

"H? It's Ryan. I think we may have a lead on the case."

"That's great.. how are you?"

"I'm fine."

The lieutenant knew a lie when he heard it. But Ryan had every right to be. He was in grave danger and still faced it like any other case. "Got into a heated debate about my work with one of the feds. Almost died twice already. Nothing too much." He answered dryly. Horatio frowned. "Are you sure you don't need any help?" "They are federal agents, I'll be okay."

"Sure you will." Another voice said.

That wasn't Ryan's voice. His accent was more.. southern. Ryan was from Boston and his accent was easier to establish and kept a distinct tone to it. But this- this wasn't him. It was Killian. Horatio immediately switched on his alert mode. "Mr Wolfe? Mr Wolfe?" No answer. "Ryan?"

"You're going to regret ever coming after me, lieutenant. Your CSI is going to pay for what you did."

On the other side of the line, lay an unconscious Ryan Wolfe. He'd been injected with something that had caused him to black out and fall into the ground. Because he didn't necessarily weigh too much, he wasn't hard to transport. Killian had kidnapped the CSI for his own personal gain. Ryan Wolfe was a name known to many criminals and crime bosses. They knew he had a lot of Intel on current cases he had been working on and could find them ways to get out of it. So killing him wouldn't be worth it until he'd served his purpose. And that hadn't happened yet.
