Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or events from the actual show CSI:Miami, though, yes, I do wish. Lots. Anyways, I do however own this story (I hope…) and the characters of Alyssa and Cruz are from me…

Summary: A case from Tim's past comes back, and this time its his family who face the consequences…

Chapter Two

"Tim you may wanna sit down for this" Horatio Caine told him, seriously. Tim could see there was something that H wasn't telling him and it was scaring the crap outta him. The feeling he'd had earlier came back like a ton of bricks and it was unnerving.

"H, what's goin on!"

"Speed….Cruz is in that car….."

Calleigh watched as the shock registered on Tim's face, followed by fear, then anger. Alyssa turned and cried into his shoulder and Calleigh fought to keep her own emotions in check. Tim and Alyssa's 4 month old daughter was in that S.U.V and the ransom was her life. Horatio raised his head and turned to Speed.

"Speed, Listen to me…I will not let anything happen to her. I'll get her out of the car"

Tim couldn't talk and Horatio could see he was trying to fight the wave of emotion threatening to over come him. He stood holding Alyssa as she cried. His expression was unreadable and Calleigh was unable to identify any one emotion, but had to look away as she saw the pain in his eyes.

"Tim, as of now, you are not a CSI, you're not a cop... you are a victim…I need your gun Speed..." Horatio said gently

Alyssa pulled back from Tim and looked at Horatio. Speed, reading what Horatio wasn't saying, said nothing as he unhooked his 9MM and handed the weapon to him. Alyssa looked at Speed who shook his head. She nodded and Horatio noted the silent exchange between them, wondering how they read each other the way they did.

"Alyssa, I promise you. I'll tear this city apart to find him. I'll get her out" Horatio told her

"How did he have access to Cruz anyway?" Alyssa asked

"Me. He was my case….." Speed said. Alyssa closed her eyes. Tim looked at the ground, unable to face the other two CSI's or his fiancée.

"Speed…this was NOT your fault"

"H, if it wasn't for me…this psycho wouldn't have gotten to her"

"Listen to me…This is not your fault. You're not to blame here, Tim. This guy knew exactly how to play this. He knew your routine"

"Yea but he was my case H"

"Tim…Please….." Alyssa said, shaking her head trying to fight the tears threatening her.

"Tim, Ally…I need for you two not to fall apart. I know that it's your baby in that car, but right now…she's safe, and we can SEE her. Concentrate on that"

"She's my daughter Horatio…how can I just wait?" Alyssa asked him

"You have to"

Alyssa walked from the room unable to face the conversation any longer. Horatio looked at Calleigh. She nodded once and went after Tim's fiancée. Tim shut his eyes and tried to control his emotions.

"Speed…I need you and Alyssa to stay calm."

"STAY CALM! Some psycho has locked Cruz in a car laced with explosives, and I have no freakin' idea how to get her out!"

"Speed...Speed …listen to me! Cruz is fine...she's not hurt as far as we know and you can see her. I'll get her out of the car. I put that on my life"

"How do we know that the explosives aren't the only thing on that car, H?"

"Tim…stop doing this to yourself…Trust me…You have my word…I'll be damned if I'm gonna let anything harm her. Let me handle this"

Speed raised his head and looked Horatio straight in the eye

"Get.My.Baby.Back."

Horatio nodded and walked out of the room carrying Tim's gun and desperately trying to formulate any kind of plan to get Baby Cruz out of the S.U.V…and in all honesty he had no idea where to start…they knew nothing about the explosives on the car.
