A/N: Finally, my writer's block is gone so here's the next chapter, finally!

Dana watched as the Las Vegas crew laughed and joked together. They seemed to work so well together. Just like the Miami crew. Dana felt herself tear up at the thought of Horatio, Eric, Alexx, Valera, and her parents. Catherine obviously noticed this because she moved from her seat at the table to the couch where Dana was.
"Horatio is on his way." she said softly.
"I know." Dana mumbled, feeling stupid and childish.
"You miss your parents huh?"
"Yeah. A lot."
"They're good people. I like your mom. She's really nice. Your dad..."
"Sarcastic loser?" Dana smirked. Catherine raised an eyebrow and let out a soft laugh. "His words, not mine."

"Calleigh?"
Alexx looked up from her magazine and smiled sympathetically.
"Sorry baby, she's with Matty."
"Alexx..." Tim opened one eye and then the other. "Where the hell am I?"
"Hospital. You don't remember?"
"Vaguely."
"You went to Andy's house and got Calleigh back but Andy shot you."
"Is she okay?"
"A little broken up."
"Where's Dana?"
"Las Vegas."
"She's too young to gamble." Tim mumbled, feeling like sleeping for a long time. Alexx chuckled and shook her head.
"Andy took her there. She's with the Las Vegas CSIs though so don't worry."
"I wanna see Calleigh."
"I can make that happen."

"Hey." Calleigh smiled, walking into the hospital room. Tim smiled sleepily at her.
"Hey yourself."
"I'll leave you two alone." Alexx said, taking her exit. Calleigh took her seat and looked at Tim.
"I hear Horatio is going to get our kid back." Tim said. Calleigh nodded.
"I wanted to go but I wanted to be here when you woke up."
"I'm glad you stayed."
"I thought you died." Calleigh whispered, tears filling her eyes. "I got scared, thinking I lost you and Dana."
"No baby, I'm fine." Tim reassured. "Come here."
Calleigh moved over and kissed him gently.
"Hey, my arm got shot, not my lips." Tim teased, pulling Calleigh in for a passionate kiss. "I love you Cal. I love you so much."
"I love you too. God, I just want our life back."
"I know baby but everything's gonna be fine." Tim promised, kissing Calleigh's forehead.
"I want my baby back."
"I know. Horatio's going. She'll be fine. Nothing bad is going to happen to her."

Dana looked up when she heard footsteps.
'It's probably just Nick or Greg or Warrick checking up on me.' she thought, looking back down. The boys had been very kind to her since she arrived at the lab and she couldn't help but thinking of Tim and Eric every time she saw them.
"...very good." that was Catherine talking. Dana liked her. The door to the break room swung open and Dana jumped off the couch, seeing Horatio.
"Horatio!"
"Hey. I think your parents are very worried about you so what do you say we go back to Miami?" he smiled.
"I can definitely agree with that." Dana grinned. Catherine smiled.
"She was wonderful to have, even if it was under these unfortunate circumstances." she said.
"Yes. Thank you Catherine. You didn't need to take her in." Horatio said, extending his hand. Catherine blushed slightly and shook his hand.
"She was very polite and charming. I wonder who she learned it from."
Dana rolled her eyes. She knew what Catherine was hinting at. Did she really think she got her politeness from Horatio Caine?
"Did you get any whereabouts on Andy?" Horatio asked. Catherine shook her head.
"Dana talked to the sketch artist and we put it out on an APB but no luck so far. I'm sure he's looking for her though so I think we'll get a hit soon."

Dana sighed. Two hours later and they were just leaving the lab now.
"Sorry, it took so long." Horatio said sheepishly.
"Oh no. Keep flirting till the cows come home." Dana said sarcastically.
"Oh you're so much like Speed."
"That's a real tragedy."
Dana gripped Horatio's hand tightly as Andy materialized from behind a Denali.
"Did you really think you could get away Dana?" he asked. "It worked, at first but I saw you leave the hotel. Now you're coming with me."
"You're not going anywhere with her. You're under arrest Andy." Horatio said. "For dual kidnapping and attempted murder of an officer. Give up now."
"No. Not till I have her." he said. Dana shrunk behind Horatio, hoping they could just disappear and then suddenly be in Miami. Andy swung out and punched Horatio, causing him to fall back. Andy quickly grabbed Dana and wrapped an arm around her neck, holding her so her back was to his front. Horatio finally found his footing and when he saw the position Dana was in, reached for his gun. "Nuhuh. Don't even think about it Lieutenant."
Dana let out a whimper as she felt cool metal against her temple. She didn't need to ask what it was. She knew it was a gun.
"Shut up Dana. Don't make me do anything stupid." Andy ordered, keeping his eyes on Horatio. "Now Lieutenant, you wouldn't want your two best friends to turn against you because you let their daughter die. Well, your best friend. Speedle's not her father."
"Yes he is!" Dana screamed. She froze when she heard the gun click.
