Thanks again to those of you who reviewed. Honestly, this is a really hard
story to stick with and several times I thought about just forgetting it
all together. But, it was the reviews that kept me going. Again, if you
would like to see something happen or some sort of element added into the
story, leave me an e-mail or review about it or something. I'll try to put
it in (
Horatio had had all members of the team check out each different St. Michael's he could think of. Delko took St. Michael's Cemetary, Speed was on top of St. Michael's Cathloic Elementary School, (which was the one place that Horatio was afraid of finding a body) Calleigh was at St. Michael's Cathedral and he took St. Michael's Hospital. Just as he was walking in through the automatic sliding doors, his cell phone rang.
"Caine," he said smoothly. A pause took over as he was listening. "So it's at the hospital? Okay, I'm walking through the doors now....don't ask, I'll be up in a few seconds."
After he hung up the phone, he let out a sigh of releif, knowing that the children in the school were safe. No sooner had he been releived, he realized that he had to call the rest of them and tell them to meet him here. He quickly dialed Eric's cell phone number and got a hold of him.
"...Yeah, can you call the rest of them, I'm already at the scene," he paused, listening to Delko. "Yeah, just get them here, and get Alexx here, too." Another pause. "No, Eric, ASAP. There's a cafeteria here you can get something at after you finish up." Pause. "Yeah, remember, ASAP."
As he flipped the phone shut and gently slipped it into his right pocket, he reached the scene.
"What do we got," he asked Tripp putting his hands on his hips and looking at the body.
"Single shot to the head, looks like a handgun. 26-year-old female, Misty Sorensen, she was a nurse here."
Horatio looked at the rag in Misty's mouth and the duct tape that held her hands behind her back, he legs together and her to the wall.
"Any witnesses?" Horatio asked, crouching down to get a closer look.
"Nope, amazing that no one in a hospital heard the shot or saw a man with a gun. I tell you, people these days."
Horatio just nodded slightly, still studying the tape.
"There's nothing I can do until the rest of the team gets here," he said finally, looking away from the body.
"Are they on their ways?"
"They should be, but who knows how long it's going to be before they get here."

Jon walked into the Save U More Food Store in downtown Miami. He had the address book from Misty's purse out, trying to match names to the people. Luckily for him, all of the employees had name tags.
"Excuse me, Lexie," he said, glancing down at the girl's name tag at the customer service desk. "Is there a James Carstensen here?"
"Yes sir, there is. I can call him down if you would like to speak to him." she responded.
"Would you please."
Lexie turned her back to the man and went for the phone. She mumbeled a few things into the reciever and then hung up. She didn't notice the young man pull a hand gun and a cell phone from his pocket until she turned around.
"Oh my god," she whispered as she started to open up the cash drawer.
"No, sweetie, I'm not here for money," he said, focusing the gun at her.
At this point, she started to weep a bit, she was terrified.
"Wh-wh-what do you want?" she managed to stammer out.
At that moment, James came down the stairs, and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the gun pointed at his daughter.
"Leave her alone," James warned.
"You James Carstensen?"
"Yeah, get the gun away from the girl, she did noth..."
A frenzy of bullets went flying for James. One struck him in the leg, two in the arm, one in the chest, and one in the head. As soon as he saw James hit the ground, Jon walked over to him.
"This is for screwing my wife," he said, putting the gun to the wounded man's head and pulling the trigger to make sure he was dead.
Jon quickly walked outside and dialed his phone as the lightening was starting to crack.

"Caine," Horatio answered his phone.
"Another body, I can give you the location this time," the same voice as before said
"Where is it?" he asked intently.
"Save U More Food Store, downtown."
"Why do you keep telling me these things?" Horatio asked.
"Because I like you."
Horatio was just about to ask another question, when he got his answer, a click from the other end. Instead of putting his phone away, he quickly dialed another number.
"Calleigh," he said into the phone. "Where are you?" He paused. "Listen, change in plans, go the Save U More Food Store downtown." Another pause. "Yeah, another body."
Horatio hung up and looked at his watch, 9:02 AM.
