"This is just the place where I want to be." Calleigh muttered. Tim kissed the side of her head and she leaned further into him. "I just want to get Hannah and leave."

"We are." he said quietly. Horatio stopped at a red light and glanced in the rearview mirror at the couple.

"Where am I going Calleigh?"

"There's a hotel up the street on the right." she replied. Horatio nodded and drove the rental car up to a large building. The CSI team got out of the car and Calleigh led the way into the lobby. The woman at the front desk looked up and her eyes widened.

"Calleigh? Calleigh Duquesne?"

Calleigh stared at the woman, then gasped lightly.

"Jan? Oh my God... you look..."

"Thinner I know." she smiled. "You look... tired."

"I just caught a flight from Miami. Do you have any open rooms?"

"Yes of course. No one ever wants to come down to Darnell." Jan drawled, rolling her eyes. Then she saw Eric and smiled. "Who're your friends?"

"The redhead is Horatio Caine. Next to him is Eric Delko and this," Calleigh slid an arm around Tim's waist, "is my husband Tim."

"Nice to meet all of you." Jan said. The boys muttered their hellos and Jan gave Calleigh three room keys.

"Thanks Jan." she mumbled. The CSIs went upstairs, separating at different floors. Horatio got off the elevator first and turned back to his team.

"When are we going to this place?" he asked.

"As soon as possible." Calleigh said. "How long do you want to relax?"

"We'll meet downstairs in fifteen minutes." Eric reasoned.

------------S/C-----------

Tim walked out of the bathroom and saw Calleigh leaned against the window, staring out at her hometown. He walked over and pulled her into his arms. Tears silently slid down both their cheeks and Calleigh looked up at Tim.

"I want to go alone." she said. Tim shook his head.

"I'm going with you."

"No. I don't want to take the risk of him hurting you. I'm getting Hannah and we're leaving."

"I'm not letting him hurt you either. We're in this together."

"He won't."

"Oh really? Look how much he's done already." Tim said. Calleigh sighed and moved away from him. "Calleigh, you don't know how hard this past year has been. I don't want to lose you again."

"Oh and you think it was easy for me?" she snapped angrily, tears spilling out of her eyes. Tim ran a hand through his hair and mumbled an apology. They sat in silence for a few minutes and when her cell phone rang, Calleigh jumped. "Hello?"

"Miss me?"

"I'm here, in Darnell."

"Good. Are you alone?"

"Tim's with me."

"I suppose that's okay. Are you coming?"

"In a few minutes. Can I talk to Hannah?"

"She's uh... tied up at the moment."

"Don't hurt her."

"I'm not, yet."

"Michael..."

"It all depends on what you do Calleigh. I'll see you when you get here." the phone died and Calleigh snapped her phone shut.

"We should go now." she said.

"You're letting me come?"

"I don't want to be alone." Calleigh whispered. Tim nodded and hugged her tightly. "I don't even want to face him but I know I have to."

She pulled away from Tim slightly and pulled his head down to hers, kissing him deeply.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"I want Hannah back."

"Then let's go get her."

--------------S/C----------

"This is the place?" Tim asked, pulling the rental car to a stop in front of an old abandoned church. Calleigh nodded.

"It's perfect." Eric said sarcastically. "Old, abandoned, creepy... like a cheesy suspense movie."

Tim and Calleigh both turned and looked at their friend, who gave a weak smile.

"So, we're coming in with you right?" Horatio said. Calleigh shook her head.

"We need to do this alone. If things get bad we'll give you guys a sign."

"You mean if Tim falls off that crumbling steeple we come in?" Eric asked. Again, the couple just looked at him. "I'm sorry. Just trying to lighten the mood."

Tim rolled his eyes and he and Calleigh got out of the car. Tim grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him.

"Be careful." he murmured.

"Don't do anything stupid." Calleigh replied. Tim nodded and kissed her. Calleigh kissed him back just as passionately and Eric rolled down the window.

"Are you going to make out or save your daughter?"

"Come on." Calleigh grabbed Tim's hand and pulled him towards the old building.

"Hey," Tim pulled her away from the door and cupped her face in his hands. "I love you and Hannah so much."

"I know. I love you too Tim. So does Hannah."

"And I will not let anything bad happen in there. I will die for you."

"Don't say that." Calleigh whispered tearfully.

"Well I am saying it because I will. You're my whole world Calleigh. I'd do anything for you. I'm not gonna lose you again."

"Well just be careful in there because I don't want to lose you either. We've been apart for too long." Calleigh hugged Tim tightly, tears running down her cheeks. "Promise me everything's gonna be okay."

"I promise you. I promise you a million times over." Tim whispered in her ear. He pulled away from her and wiped the tears off her cheeks. "Ready?"

Calleigh gave a shaky sigh and nodded. She opened the door first and stepped inside, Tim close behind her. It was dark in the church seeing as there was no electricity and the windows were boarded up. She had no idea where she was going and blindly reached back for Tim's hand. He obviously was thinking the same because their hands connected, making them both jump.

"Finally." a voice huffed and a flashlight turned on. Tim blinked from the sudden brightness and tightened his grip on Calleigh's hand. Michael jumped down from the altar and walked down the aisle towards the couple. "Been a while Calleigh. Our last meeting wasn't so pleasant."

"Of course it wasn't. You tried to kill me." she snapped. "Where's Hannah?"

"Now it's not going to be so easy." Michael laughed. "Tim, come here."

"Why?"

"Because I said to." Michael replied, a stern tone in his voice. Tim walked forward and Michael swung his arm out at him, punching him in the jaw. Tim staggered back and before he could react, Michael socked him in the stomach. Tim groaned and dropped down onto his knees as Calleigh let out a yell. She went to rush over and Michael held a hand out, a gun held between his fingers. He then proceeded to kick Tim, forcing him into the pew behind him. Michael pressed his boot into Tim's neck, causing him to gasp.

"Michael, stop!" Calleigh cried.

"Shut up Calleigh!"

"Let him go!"

Michael shook his head and cocked the gun, then aimed it at Tim's forehead.

"You stole her from me." he said as Tim gasped for air.

"Michael, you're suffocating him!" Calleigh exclaimed.

"You don't deserve her." he went on, ignoring Calleigh. "She was always mine and you took her. Now you have to pay."

Calleigh fired her gun at the ceiling, making Michael turn around.

"Let him go." she ordered, aiming the gun at Michael.

"What if I said you had to choose between Tim and Hannah."

"She's here so it doesn't matter. I'll kill you and get them both."

"Hannah is not here." Michael said. "Really Calleigh."

"Then where is she?"

Michael's sincere face turned into a nasty grin.

"In a car, that is slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake."

"You liar!"

"I wouldn't lie to you Calleigh. Now you're wasting time."

"How do I know you're not lying?" she asked. "You made it seem like you shot her. How do I know she's not here?"

"Because she's not here. She's about to die though. Shame, could've had such a productive life."

Tim choked, trying to get some air into his lungs and finally kicked Michael's leg out from under him, causing him to fall. Tim scrambled away from him as Eric and Horatio ran in. Michael grabbed his gun and fired at Tim but missed him. He, instead, hit Eric, who yelled out in pain and fell to the ground. Calleigh fired at Michael but he ran towards the front of the church, disappearing through a door.

"Go! Get Hannah!" Horatio ordered. "I'll stay with Eric."

Tim and Calleigh didn't think twice, just ran out to the car.

-----------S/C---------

Calleigh slammed on the brakes and she and Tim were out of the car before it even rolled to a stop. Calleigh let out a cry, seeing Michael's car disappear under the grimy water of the lake. Tim jumped into the freezing water and, as quickly as he could, swam towards the car. He broke through the surface of the water, gasping for air and looked at Calleigh.

"Is she in there?" she yelled. Tim nodded and dove back under. The windows were all closed and Tim wondered how he was going to get into the car. He went back up for air, then quickly came back down and threw his fist towards passenger side window.

'Not a smart idea.' Tim thought as pain shot up through his arm. He could see Hannah tied up in the back seat, unconscious, or at least Tim thought she was unconscious. Finally having enough, Tim pulled out his gun and shot the window a couple of times, making a big enough hole to push the rest of the glass out of the way. He leaned through the window and tried to reach Hannah but he couldn't. He pushed himself a bit more through the window and grabbed her waist.

---------S/C--------

On shore, Calleigh was frantically pacing about. Did Tim get to Hannah? Was she alive? Was Eric okay? Tim finally resurfaced, a very pale Hannah in his arms.

"No..." Calleigh moaned. "Hannah?"

She pulled out her cell phone, dialing 9-1-1. Tim quickly untied Hannah and checked for her pulse.

"Tim..."

"She's..."

She's not dead is she?" Calleigh asked. Tim didn't say anything but tears stung his eyes. "No... Hannah!"

Tim, stubborn as hell, did CPR on her and Calleigh slowly sunk down onto the cool ground, sobs racking her small frame.

"No!" Tim yelled. "Dammit Hannah!"
