The Race Is On

Written By: Calleigh and Horatio 4 eva and Silver Hair Fox

Calleigh, and the rest all sat down at the table. They ordered Potato Skins. Cook County Saloon was famous for them. A song came on, Robyn couldn't help but laugh; the song was Cadillac Ranch. A classic line dance song, or wing dancing song; She smiled at the rest of the girls, they all nodded. It's nice when the two of them knew what the other was thinking. So they grabbed their guys' hands and led them out to the dance floor. Calleigh and Robyn taught them all how to line dance, "One, two… three, four. One… two… three. Other foot." Calleigh and Robyn said as they kept them going.

"Keep with the beet… side step." Robyn smiled, she was use to this, she loved country music, she actually sang along:

"James dean in a mercury 49
Junior Johnson runnin' in the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in a black trans am
Are gonna meet me down at the Cadillac ranch"

Surprising as it is, Calleigh joined in on the singing, as they line danced:

"Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let 'em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin' all alone in a Colorado night
You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance
Don't let em take me down to the Cadillac ranch"

Cadillac, Cadillac...
Long and dark, shiny and black;
Open up them engines, let 'em roar;
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur."

Once the song was over, the group even Horatio laughed, through out the song, most of them messed up the dance. They all lightened up as they sat down, "My, my, Horatio. You sure are a dancer," Calleigh laughed.

Horatio shook his head, he never thought he would line dance, "Don't ask me to do that again."

Samantha and Robyn laughed, "It was just for fun," Samantha smiled.

"Where did you two learn to line dance?" Delko asked, as he took a sip of his drink.

"I learned for my family of rednecks," Robyn laughed, "My uncle decided to paint 'male' on the mail box. He spelt it M-A-L-E. And no one got it. I was in grade 12 when I got it. I was like, hey that wrong. Isn't the M supposed to be capitalized?"

Everyone laughed, "Not true." Speedle added.

"Well," Calleigh started, "I learned from my cousin. It was a one of her birthday parties."

Horatio raised an eyebrow, "So many things we don't know."

"True enough," Samantha smiled. It was then that the song: Ten Round With Jose Cuervo came on; the song was by Tracy Byrd. Robyn laughed. Some guy came up to the table.

"Anyone up for a dance," the guy asked.

All three girls looked at him and smiled, "Sorry taken," they said in unison.

The guy titled his cowboy hat, "Very well ladies." He said then he was gone.

Calleigh stood up, "If you guys will excuse me," she said to the group, "I have to use the little girl's room."

"Hurry back," Delko replied then turned back to Horatio, "So H did you asked her out yet?"

Samantha and Robyn looked at each other, then at Horatio. They were not sure how he would take the boldness of Delko. Horatio looked at Delko, "No, relationships are not aloud at the lab, Eric."

Back with Calleigh, she finished doing what she needed and left the Lady's bathroom, only to have a hand grab her around the mouth, and a gun pointed at her side, "Scream and I will kill you," the man whispered in her ear and took his hand down from her mouth and grabbed her arm.

She turned around to see who it was, "What do you want?" Calleigh asked as she followed him, not like she hand much of a choice.

"My name is Jose Braunstein, and you're coming with me." Jose replied.

"You know I have friends at this saloon who will soon be looking for me," Calleigh told him.

Jose just laughed at her and replied, "I've already taken care of there."

Calleigh looked over to where Horatio, Eric, Speed, Robyn and Sam where sitting, they all burst out in laughter.

"Where's Calleigh got to?" Samantha asked in wonder after she stopped laughing.

"Don't know" Eric replied, "Maybe you should go see how she is."

Just as Samantha went to get up out of her set Horatio's pager when off, "Looks like we're needed tonight," Horatio answered looking at his pager.

"What about Calleigh?" Samantha asked.

"You and Robyn can go get her and then we'll all meet up at the lab." Horatio said, standing up.

Samantha and Robyn left to go get Calleigh while Horatio, Speedle and Delko headed for the Hummers, "Where do you think Cal got to Sam?" Robyn asked.

"I don't know it doesn't take that long just go to the Ladies Room does it?" Sam asked. Robyn pushed open the door to the Ladies Room and saw Calleigh's pager on the floor.

"Calleigh are you in here?" Sam called loud enough for everyone to here.

"Keep your voice down" Robyn said as she shook her head, "The whole Saloon can here you," she added as she pulled her hair up in a loose pony tail.

"Sorry," Samantha answered. Samantha went along and cheeked all the cubicles to make sure Calleigh hadn't passed out in anyone of them, one she was done she faced Robyn,"She's not in anyone of them."

"Come on lets go tell the guys"

xoxox

"H, look," Speedle pointed towards the ground next to the Hummer.

"Its Calleigh's," Horatio answered his voice all worried; He picked up her badge.

"Someone's got her and she's trying to tell us." Delko added.

"Eric!" Samantha called.

Robyn called after her, "Tim."

Speedle and Delko tuned around to see Samantha and Robyn running towards them.

"It's Calleigh she's not there," Robyn said in rush to get air.

"What do you want to do H?" Speedle asked.

"Treat this like an investigation, one of our own is out there and we're going to look for her," Horatio answered, the rest of them nodded their heads.
