Chapter 2

A/n Ok guys here is the next chapter. I am in a writing mood today so there will be updates on most if not all of my stories. I am sorry if this is not very welll written. I am slightly distracted today, but I felt like reading so enjoy. Please give feedback; it's an addiction of mine.

Once again I do not own anyone associated with CSI Miami

"Hey Alexx, what have we got?" Horatio asked as he walked into the morgue.

"Hey Horatio, she was shot after death. The drowning was the COD. I got some skin and blood from under her finger nails. However, most of the evidence was washed away in the pool."

"Yeah I understand. So you're telling me that the killer just shot her because he wanted to and she was all ready dead?"

"Yes that is what I am telling you. I all ready gave the bullet to Calleigh to process."

"Thank you Alexx," Horatio said as he picked up the samples and walked out of the morgue.

Valera was organizing her work station when Horatio came walking into the lab.

"Hey Horatio, what can I do for you?"

"Hey Maxine, I need you to process these skin and blood samples ASAP."

"Are these from our drowning victim?" Horatio nodded. "Ok I will page you as soon as I have the results," Valera said as she turned and began to process the samples. Horatio had just finished some paper work when he was interrupted by a knock on his door. "Come in."

"Hey Handsome, I have the ballistics report. It was a .45. I ran it through the database, but I didn't get any hits. I'm going to go back to the scene and make sure that the gun isn't their."

"Ok take Delko with you. I think he will enjoy a break from the prints. Have Ryan go and help Speed."

"Ok I'll do that," Calleigh said as she leaned over and gave Horatio a quick kiss. Then she turned and headed out of his office in search of Eric.

"There are way too many prints this is going to take forever to analyze them," Eric complained as he ran another print through AFIS.

"Yeah I know at least Calleigh gets to do something fun."

"Yes and Eric gets to join me. We're going back to the scene to look for the gun. Speed, go find Ryan H wants him to help you with the prints." Speed nodded as he got up and headed off to find Ryan.

"I'll get my kit and change in to my swim trunks, and meet you at the hummer?"

"Sure see you in five?" Calleigh asked flashing Eric a smile.

"Yeah." Eric replied. Calleigh and Eric had been searching for an hour with no luck when Calleigh's cell phone rang.

"Eric, can you get it since I'm not out of the pool yet?"

"Sure," Eric called back as he picked up Calleigh's phone.

"Delko."

"Delko, didn't I call Calleigh's phone?" Horatio asked puzzled.

"Yeah, but she isn't out of the pool yet. We didn't find the gun. We're just about to head back to the lab."

"Actually no don't head back to the lab. Their has been another murder. It's at the Holiday Inn and it looks like the same MO."

"Ok we will be their soon."

"Good the rest of the team are heading over now," Horatio said, as he hung up and walked towards the rest of his team who were waiting at the hummer.

"Cal, c'mon we have another scene at the Holiday Inn and it looks like this one," Eric called as he saw Calleigh walking towards him.

"Ok let's go."

"Ok, I'll drive if that's ok?" Eric asked with a smile. Calleigh just nodded and climbed into the passenger's seat.

Eric and Calleigh were the first ones their since they were the closest.

"Hey Trip, what have we got?" Calleigh asked.

"Hey Cal, Allison Underwood age 33. A couple of teenagers found her. Apparently there is a high school choir convention this week."

"Ok is Alexx here yet?"

"No but she should be here soon," Frank replied, just as Alexx pulled up and climbed out of her car with her bag in hand.

"Hey you to, two of these in one day! I hope this isn't a beginning of a trend." The others agreed. The scene was identical to the first one accept a note that was found. It said Sixteen letters total four have all ready been used. Twelve are left and six more will die.

"What do you suppose that means?" Ryan asked Speed as they read the note. Speed shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm going to show this to Horatio Speed said as he walked over to Horatio with the note in his hand.

"Hey Horatio, what do you suppose this note means?" Horatio took the note and read it.

"Hmm I'm not sure the only thing I can tell is that six more people most likely girls are in danger," Horatio said thoughtfully.

"Yeah me to," Speed said.

"I tell you what. Gather up your evidence and tell everyone to head back to the lab. I want to meet in the lay out room as soon as everyone's evidence is logged in," Horatio said as he slipped on his sun glasses and observed his team hard at work.

Everyone was gathered in the lay out room ready to discuss the case.

"Ok what do we have? We now know that this is a cereal. According to the note six more people are going to die. What evidence did you guys collect?" Horatio asked.

"By the way it looked I'd guess another .45," Calleigh said.

"Unfortunately we didn't get much other evidence. We talked to the kids that found her, but nothing," Speed and Eric added.

"I didn't get anything more out of the witnesses, and the only evidence I collected from both crime scenes was a single black hair that doesn't match to either victim. Unfortunately, there wasn't a skin tag on the first one. I don't know about the second one," Ryan said.

"My initial findings indicate that COD is the same for Allison as well. Both Cathy and she were killed by drowning. The gun shot occurred after death," Alexx concluded.

"Well I tell you what everyone go home. It has been a long day, and we need fresh eyes to look at the evidence," Horatio said. Everyone smiled and got up to go home.

"So are we still on for that dinner and Ray's soccer practice?" Calleigh asked.

"Sure I just have to lock up my office see you at the hummer in a couple of minutes?" Calleigh just leaned in for a very passionate kiss then turned and walked away purposefully wiggling her hips in an extremely enticing manner, causing Horatio to let out a low groan of appreciation.
