Author's Note: Sorry, I haven't writen anything in a while, I've been feeling depressed lately and haven't been up to doing much except the usual stuff. I've tried watching Friends to cheer me up, because that always seemed to work and it just doesn't so if I don't write again after this for awhile that's why.

Deb: Don't get me wrong I like Dennis to. Actually I like Stetler, Peter Elliot, Hagen, and Dennis but I just like to pick fun at Stetler and Dennis in my stories because it comes easily to me for some reason. And to be honest I've tried to write a pure happy fic. But I can't. I'll get into 2 sentences and I'll be like "Well that sucks" and I'll delete it. I guess I'm just a drama queen.

Tim and Calleigh had came back into the kitchen after looking at Sandra and Olivia's photo albums. "So, what do you want me to do?" Tim asked to no one in particular.

Horatio sighed and sat down in one of the chairs, "Well, Dennis here." he began saracastically. "Was just telling us his fantastic idea, Dennis?" he finished.

Sackheim glared at him and took a deep breath, "Next time Johnny calls you. You offer yourself up as bait."

Calleigh's eyes widened. "No. Absoultley not."

"Calleigh." Tim started.

Calleigh looked over at him, "Are you crazy. Tim. He shot you and beat you up. Do you really think that the next time he's going to go easy on you. He will kill you."

Tim sighed and went to speak when Sackheim cut him off. "We'll have S.W.A.T. in position at every entrance, Calleigh."

"Do you really think that's going to stop him?" asked Calleigh, worry and anger in her voice.

"Its ok." Tim started. "I'll do it." he said as he looked back at Calleigh, who had a horrified expression on her face.

Sandra groaned when someone opened up the shades in the room she was in, "Get up." came an unfamiliar female voice.

"Where's Johnny?" asked Sandra scared. Even though she knew what Johnny was probably going to do to her, he was still better then a woman she had never seen before, let alone know what she was capable of.

"Johnny's busy at the moment." she replied sweetly as she sat a clean pair of clothes for Sandra on her bed. "Come down stairs when your dressed. Breakfast should be ready by then."

Sandra watched as the woman left and closed the door behind her. She looked over at the pair of clothes she had given her and sighed.

Horatio and Sackheim watched from the kitchen table as Calleigh and Tim exchanged heated words. Horatio couldn't help but smile, Calleigh was so short compared to Tim and she was trying so hard to match his full height. "YOUR NOT DOING THIS!" Calleigh screamed.

"Calleigh, I have no other choice." Tim insisted.

"He'll kill you. Is that what you want? Do you want me to go back on mediciation, Tim?" she asked, a slightly hurt look in her eyes.

Tim sighed and pulled her close, "Of course that's not what I want, Calleigh." he began. "But I've got to get our little girl back." Calleigh sighed and hugged him tightly.

Sandra walked slowly down the stairs and then stood in the door way nervously, she didn't really know what to do. The woman smiled and gestured her to the kitchen. Sandra sighed and sat down at the kitchen table. "What would you like for breakfast sweetie." Sandra shrugged and looked at the assortment of food on the table. "How about some chocolate chip pancakes?" Sandra nodded. She then looked up and scooted away in her chair as Johnny came into the room, phone in hand.

"Call your father." he stated simply, but angrily.

The woman looked at Johnny and sighed, "Johnny you don't have to be so mean to the poor thing."

"Shut up! Was I talking to you?" the woman sighed and placed some eggs on her plate.

Sandra picked up the phone and dialed her home number.

Tim and Calleigh both jumped slightly when the phone rang. Calleigh looked up at Tim and he walked over to the phone, he waited for the signal before picking it up. "Speedle?"

"Daddy." said Sandra, her voice quivering slightly.

Tim let out a sigh of relief. "Oh sweetheart. Are you ok? Did he hurt you." Calleigh grabbed his arm tightly and Tim pulled her to him.

"No, Daddy." Sandra started. "He didn't hurt me. There's a lady here."

Tim looked over at Horatio, "A lady?"

"Mmmhmm." came Sandra's small voice. "She's really nice. She made me chocolate chip pancakes."

Tim couldn't help but smile slightly, "Sweetie I need you to listen to me ok. Is he in the room with you."

"Yes."

"Let me talk to him."

"Ok, Daddy. I love you." she said before handing the phone to Johhny.

"I love you to, baby."

Johnny laughed, "You love me, Speedle? Well I had no idea you swung that way."

"Can it, Duncan." Tim said hatefully.

"A little aggresive are we?" he asked. "You shouldn't really talk that way to the man that has your daughter." he finished just as hatefully.

Tim sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "Alright, Johnny. Why don't we met up somewhere." Tim said softly. "You give me Sandra and I'll give you exactly what you want." Calleigh shook her head slightly and barried her head into his chest.

"You sure your wife's ok with losing you again?"

"She'll be just fine. So do we have a deal?"

Johnny thought for a minute, "Alright fine. Met me at the old abandoned wharehouse in Liberty City. No cops." he said before he hung up.

Tim sighed and placed the phone onto the table.
