A/N: This may end up an H/C fic, no guarantees. This will not end up an H/Y fic. Nothing against Yelina, but what my brain is planning I can't see her dealing with.
Horatio's Office
5:15 pm
Knock, Knock
"Enter."
"Uncle Horatio!" The whirlwind that is Madison comes flying into the office.
"Hi, Maddy." Horatio lifts Madison into his lap while smiling at Calleigh.
"I hope it's okay I brought her back." Calleigh says.
"It's fine Yelina's not here." Horatio answers.
"Is she okay?"
"I suppose that depends on your definition of okay." Horatio responds dryly.
"I can see where it would." Calleigh tells him.
"Uncle Horatio?"
"Yeah, Maddy."
"Who was that lady? I don't think she liked me."
"She just doesn't know you and seeing you here surprised her that's all." It was hard enough to explain Madison to Yelina, Horatio knows he doesn't want to try and explain Yelina to Madison.
"Oh, okay. Uncle Horatio, is my mommy home yet?"
Calleigh sends Horatio a look that tells him they still don't have any information on Susie's whereabouts.
"No, she's going to be longer than she thought. You're going to stay with me for a couple of days. Okay?" Horatio informs the child.
"Okay." Madison responds enthusiastically.
"Shall we go get some dinner?" Horatio asks.
"Can Calleigh come?" Madison asks.
"If she wants to."
"Do you want to?" Madison asks Calleigh.
"Sure, but we'll have to stop by the lab and get my things." Calleigh smiles at the girl.
"Okay." Madison sounds like she likes the idea of going back to the lab.
"You two go ahead. I'll meet you by the front desk."
"Okay." Madison and Calleigh respond together.
Calleigh takes Madison's hand and leads her out of the office and back to the lab.
Once they're gone Horatio picks up the phone and calls Frank asking him to keep checking about Susie and suggesting that they may need to check with the Narcotics squad to see if they've seen her.
