Part 7
Horatio got out of the hummer and practically ran to the glass doors of the hospital - flashing his badge to the cops standing at the entrance. John and Speed met him as soon as he stepped inside.
"We have the hospital completely sealed off" Hagen reported, "We have men searching every room and every closet in this building. We're running plates on all the cars in the parking lot and we have roadblocks in a 1 mile radius."
"We have a door in the docking area that has been pried open - we think that's his point of entry" Eric's voice trembled slightly as he spoke - Horatio realized he was trying hard to keep a professional tone and clear away all the emotions from his voice.
"Detective" an officer came running towards them "someone just reported their car missing from the parking lot, and we found this next to the parking space"
The officer handed something to Hagen and they all leaned closer to inspect it. It was a torn hospital ID bracelet. The name Calleigh Dunesque was clearly printed on it.
*
Calleigh tried to open her eyes but couldn't, there was something covering her eyes. She didn't remember much, she remembered waiting for the technician in the hospital to start the examination and then someone came into the room. She couldn't remember anything more after that.
But even without remembering she knew what was going on - there was only one possible explanation. She wasn't in the hospital anymore, that was for sure. And she didn't exactly walk out of there on her own free will - so that left only one possibility. Kerner.
"Hank?" she tried calling out.
There was a deep cut in her forearm and the pain in her chest and arm was killing her, she tried to adjust her position but it only made the pain to come shooting up and down her body. Making her groan in pain. There was a laughter from somewhere behind her.
"Are you in pain blondy?" he came closer to her and she could feel his breath on her cheek as he whispered in her ear "Are you enjoying these bullet hole I put in you?"
"Are you enjoying the one I put in you?"
Suddenly he slapped her hard across the face, she could feel the taste of blood in her mouth. A second later he pulled the blindfold off.
"What do you want from me?" she spat
"Now what makes you think I want anything from you?" he smirked, playing with the gun in his hand
"Because if you didn't need anything you would have killed me by now"
"You were always clever bitch" he smirked
"I didn't need to be clever to get you Kerner, it's more that you were dumb enough to get caught" she didn't know why she was taunting him like this, and sure enough he slapped her again - hard.
"You're insurance blondy! I use you to get the cops off my back until I get out of the country and then I get to kill you."
*
Horatio drove like mad, almost crashing into a car passing the intersection on front of him. Usually that kind of driving would have earned him some kind of response from the man sitting next to him - but not today. Today, Speed was absolutely quiet, trying to listen in on the conversation Horatio was still conduction on his cell phone with Hagen
"Horatio we found the car" Hagen reported "it's been abandoned"
"any sign of them?"
"Not yet, the SWAT team is still checking all the buildings around the dump site."
Horatio could hear hesitation in Hagen's voice "What is it John? What aren't you telling me?"
"there's a small blood trail" Hagen said quietly "We still don't know if it's Calleigh's or Kerner's"
"Keep everyone off the scene, I don't want anyone contaminating it" Horatio ordered, trying to ignore the pained look Speed was sending him since the words blood trail were mentioned "We're on our way"
*
She looked at him in disbelief for a second, and then simply started laughing, laughing whole heartedly like she hadn't done in days. He came at her and slapped her a third time, causing her to spit blood again
"what are you laughing at?"
"That's your brilliant plan? Kidnapping me to keep the cops off your back?" she let out a chuckle "you never were the brightest bulb in the box! You took me and now every cop in the tri state area is going to be looking for you, they're going to hunt you down like a dog!"
"I don't care that they come looking for me!" he smirked at her, coming closer again and pressing the barrel of the gun to her temple "They can follow me all they want because as long as I have this gun pressed to your pretty little head, they're going to be keeping their distance. They're going to do anything I want, because if they don't - I'm going to blow your brain's out"
His face were so close to her, she could look straight into his eyes. She suddenly remembered something Horatio once told her about how people become the most dangerous when they have nothing more to loose. She held his gaze for a minute, looking into his eyes - that cold lifeless blue, that crazy look - she saw something there that finally made her scared
