A/N First and foremost thankyou for the reviews it was very kind of you all considering this is my first Miami fic, I was worried I was off base with the characters. Secondly sorry it took a little while to post I wanted to make sure I knew where this story was going before I started writing more chapters. Have fun.
Horatio pulled into the parking lot his mind had been going in overdrive since Eric's call. He walked at a hurried pace through the hall until he reached the entrance to the gun room. Eric was pacing outside and looked up as Horatio approached him.
"I'm so glad you're here it's such a mess, Jimmy's dead Calliegh is missing and I'm still trying to get the CCTV footage of the gun cage" Eric blurted out as he stopped his pacing.
"Tell me what you know" Horatio asked getting straight to the point.
"Seems that somebody robbed the gun cage around 11pm tonight killed Jimmy and took Calleigh with them as well as several guns, we're working on a list of what's been taken." Eric replied as he tried to calm himself down
"Ok, lets have a look at the crime scene shall we" Horatio passed Eric into the room beyond, there he found Alex tending to Jimmy beside the entrance of the gun cage. She looked rattled but managed to keep a professionalism about her that Horatio admired.
"Alex" Horatio greeted as he crouched down beside the body
"He was killed by a single slice to the coroided artery I'd say a double blade knife but I won't be sure until he's on the table, is it true what they're saying that they have Calleigh?" Alex asked in a worried tone.
"It would seem that way" Horatio replied with a deep sigh, getting back up he looked around the gun cage.
He was interrupted by Eric coming up beside him.
"I have the CCTV footage on standby when you're ready to see it" Eric told Horatio as he followed Horatio's gaze.
"It seems odd why come to a police station to get guns it's a lot of hard effort for what they took, there's got to be another reason why they came here and I intend to find out" Horatio commented not really to anyone.
"Let's have a look at this footage then" breaking his attention away from the cage he walked with Eric out of the gun room.
As they sat down in front of the TV both of them were very uncertain what they might see.
It all looked pretty ordinary to start with Jimmy was sitting there doing some paperwork, they then saw him look up as someone entered. Calleigh entered the room and they saw Jimmy smile, she looked excited about something they talked for awhile then Calleigh headed towards the cage, first through one door then the next she was inside the cage and went outside of view ( as the CCTV tape they were viewing was only the foyer area another showed the gun room). Jimmy looks up again as someone enters through the door. Three masked men quickly and successfully take over the gun room, grabbing Jimmy and forcing him off screen. Calleigh reappeared in view slowly opening the doors for the attackers, that's when it happened, Jimmy was on the floor and the attackers where in the cage with Calleigh. Only the now dead Jimmy and his attacker were left in the shot as the others went out of view. Five minutes later the attackers reappear in the shot along with Calleigh, Horatio and Eric watched as she was forced out the door at knife point.
"Eric do we have the tape for inside the cage" Horatio asked anxiously after what he had just seen. He was already worried about Calleigh's welfare but now he was terrified at what might happen.
Eric reached over and placed the new tape into the machine, all was going well as they watched Calleigh move happily towards the gun draws with a bounce in her step the one she got when she knew she was on to something. They watched as her head flew up towards the doors. She slowly closed the drawer she had opened and stepped towards the second door. They saw her talking to someone then she let the two attackers into the cage, next thing they knew Calleigh was pined up against the cage, if anyone had been watching Horatio they would have seen his jaw clench as his fists get tighter as he watched Calleigh's attacker touch her stomach. After packing away the guns they all left the cage.
"Eric I want you monitoring all the tapes I want to know how they got in and how they got out" Horatio turned away and started to dial his phone.
"Ryan, where the hell are you, well you should have been here 20 minutes ago, when you get here I want you to help process the scene then I want you to find out if anyone's looking for a shipment of guns" Horatio barked down the phone.
Eric looked up at this sudden outburst, he'd seen Horatio this angry before but there was something new there fear almost. He watched as Horatio stormed out the door.
They'd been driving for almost an hour, Calleigh was starting to get worried they hadn't said two words to her after forcing her into the car. Things were about to change.
"Give me your phone" The second attacker barked
Calleigh had completely forgotten it was on her hip she'd had it turned off at the lab as it had been distracting her while she looked at bullet casings, she had figured people could page her if they needed to talk to her. She was broken out of this thought by the knife being poked into her side drawing some blood onto its tip.
"I'm not going to ask again" the man grabbed at her phone and turned it on. It started to ring, as she had voicemail messages, the attacker put it too his ear.
"Sounds like there worried about you, lets give Horatio a call shall we" The attacker suggested
Calleigh realized this was the second time that this man had used their names how did he know them and what did he want?.
Horatio's phone rang he looked down at the display hoping that it wasn't the press or worse the sheriff, it would have been his luck right now for them to ring. He was surprised when it read Bullet Girl on the display.
"Calleigh, are you ok? where are you? "he asked as he put his phone to his ear
"Sorry she's not able to come to the phone right now, but I thought I'd give you a call Horatio to let you know she's with me" the caller chuckled down the phone
Horatio could have recognized that voice from anywhere "Mark Allen, what do you want with her?" Horatio asked getting straight to the point
"You know I always had a thing for her H, even if you did give her my job, lets say were about to have a little fun, well better go as we know you'll want to trace this, lets say its a head start a little bonus clue, let's see how good a CSI you are, you have 48 hours" with that Horatio was left with a dial tone in his ear.
"Damn it" Horatio swore as he increased his pace along the corridor. "Eric I want you to trace Calliegh's phone NOW"
"What's going on Horatio?" Ryan asked as he walked through the door into the AV suite after hearing Horatio raising his voice at Eric
"Mark Allen has Calleigh?" Horatio replied
"And he is?" Ryan asked
"He was one of the best CSI's I've ever worked with and we only have 48 hours to catch him" Horatio replied as he looked down at his watch, this was going to be the longest two days of his life.
