Tim and Calleigh walked back upstairs and into the break room and found everyone in there exact places as when they left.

"Mommy?" said Maggie.

"Yeah sweetheart." said Calleigh as she went to go sit down on the coach and pulled Maggie onto her lap.

"Where's Lucy?"

Calleigh looked at Tim with pleading eyes. How was Calleigh or anyother mother supposed to tell her little girl that her sister was dead.

"Well honey..." said Tim as he to sat down next to Maggie. "Lucy...uh..Lucy..." Tim said his voice cracking and Calleigh rubbed his back soothingly.

"Is she dead?" asked a Maggie in tears.

"Yeah baby...she is." said Tim as he stroked her cheek.

"I miss Lucy." said Maggie and she started to cry and Calleigh pulled her closer to her.

"Uh, H can i see you out in the hallway for a minute?" asked Tim, Horatio nodded.

"How'd they get here?"

"A women brought them in..." Horatio went to say more but was interrupted by Speed.

"Where is she?"

"Speed.."

"Horatio don't ok. Somebody just murdered my baby know where is she?"

"She's in interrogation." said Horatio and that was all it took and Speed left without another word.

Tim burst into the interrogation room. "Frank why don't you go take a break!"

"Speedle i don't think thats a good idea." Frank stated.

"Well I do!" Speed said looking at the women in front of him. "Frank...please." Frank did as told and left the room.

"Alright look, how did you know about these kids?" asked Speed.

"My boyfriend Tommy kidnapped them." the woman said honestly.

"Go on."

"I found out about Tommy...and his... ways...a few months ago..and then my work had me go on a business trip..."

"A business trip...thats convient."

"Its the truth...anyways...i had no idea he was going to kidnap those kids i swear...I, I came home and i heard gunshots and so I went inside..and I saw him with a girl and a boy in a room and he was firing rounds into the wall and the little girl was screaming begging him to stop and he laughed at her. And she said that her daddy was going to find him and hurt him and he laughed at her and then he...he..he shot her." Tim chocked back tears. "And them he went to go shoot the little boy but i guess he ran out of amo or something and he left and so I went in there and I told the little boy that I was going to save them and I picked up the little girl and we left and i asked him where his mommy and daddy where and he led me here. I told him to run inside and get help and then him and a doctor Woods i think came out a few minutes later and said the little girl was dead. I am so so sorry for all of this." said the women.

"You know i'm going to need to check your story Ms.?"

"Collins. Lucy Collins." Tim winced at the name. Lucy saw this. "You're those kids' father arent you?"

"The little girl was my daughter and the boy Jason is my best friends kid."

"I'm so sorry." Lucy said again.

"Yeah, everybody is." said Tim sarcastically. "Listen i'm going to need you to hang tight for awhile, write a statement. I may need to ask you some more questions later."

"Ok." said Lucy as Tim got up to leave. "I really am sorry. She was beautiful."

"Yeah she was...thank you." Tim chocked out and left the room.

"Night daddy."

"NIght pumpkin. And your 15 don't you think your a little to old to be calling me daddy."

"Well if i'm to old to call you daddy, then I guess i'm to old for you to call me pumpkin."

"Nah, you'll always be my pumpkin." said Tim as he kissed Libby on the forehead.

"Daddy i'm really sorry about Lucy."

"Yeah sweetie me too."

"I'm really going to miss her."

"I think were all going to. Lib you know if you need anything me and mom are here for you right?"

"I know."

"OK then, good night, i love you."

"I love you too." Tim smiled and turned the light off as he walked out. On his way down the hall Tim glanced into the twins room and saw Maggie fast asleep on her bunk and Tim's eyes slowly shifted to Lucy's once occupied bunk. He sighed heavily and then went into his room and shut the door quietly.

"Calleigh." he said softly as he climbed into bed next to her and wrapped an arm around her waist. "Calleigh sweetheart."

"Tim, I want my baby back. I just want her back." said Calleigh and Tim scooped her up into his arms rocked her for a while and stroked her hair until she stopped crying. "I'm sorry I'm acting like an idiot."

"No your not. I want her back to."

"God Tim why can't we go back to the way we used to be. Me, you, Libby, Lucy and Maggie. It just isn't fair."

"I know its not lets just get through tomorrow and well take it from there." said Tim rubbing Calleigh's back. Tim didn't want tomorrow to come because he knew what he was gonna have to do. When tomorrow comes it will mean that Lucy was gone forever. And Tim didn't know if he could bare to put a child in the ground. This isn't how its supposed to be children were supposed to out live there parents.

The funeral went very slowly. Tim looked over at Libby who was crying silently, Calleigh was crying hysterically. Tim could only imagine what she was going through, probably what he was going through but it had to be worse for her she gave birth to her. Tim reached over and rubbed her back soothingly and Calleigh moved over slightly and Tim hugged her tightly with one hand and he felt a head rest on his shoulder. It was Maggie he completley forgot he was holding her.

After the funeral was over everyone that they worked with came over and paid there respects. But Eric and Valera seemed to be trying to avoid the Speedle's as much as possible until Tim walked over to them.

"Guys."

"Tim were so sorry for how everything turned out." said Valera.

"Yeah me too. I'm just glad that Jason's ok." said Tim as he ruffled Jason's hair.

Tim and Eric stared at eachother for a few minutes and then Tim walked back over to Calleigh and the kids when his cell phone rang.

"Speedle?"

"So your precious daughter's dead." said Tommy.

"Alright listen you sick son of a bitch. First you kidnapped my baby and then you kill her. Your going to pay whether if its in a jail cell or just between me and you but your going to get what you deserved."

"Is that right?" said Tommy.

"Yeah that's right. So why don't you tell me where you are."
