Note: This fic is a sequel to another fic I wrote "What She Deserves", so it is better to read that one to get a better understanding towards some references I made of it within this fic. As well, after watching the episode "If Looks Could Kill" I decided to tie in some of the events within that episode to my fic. Btw, does anyone know of Natalia's ex-husband last name? I don't' recall if they ever mentioned it or not. Never mind, I was just in formed that his last name is Townsend.

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight, it ends tonight.
Just a little insight will make this right.

Chapter Three: The News

Eric Delko and Ryan Wolfe stood across from Horatio Caine; all three men were in deep conversation over one thing or another within Caine's office before they were interrupted by a door opening and a set of angry footsteps entering the room within.

The three of them glanced at the intruder who had entered; stopping their conversation for the moment to see that it was a female – an angry female.

"I don't care what's needed to be done, but I don't want that man anywhere near the labs."

Eric glanced at Calleigh who was staring at them all with a pissed off expression. "Cal, what's wrong?" He asked concernedly as he moved closer to her.

Ryan followed his actions as well as Horatio, until the three of them surrounded the upset Calleigh. "Wrong?" She raised an eye brow as she crossed her arms across her chest. "That man is what's wrong."

Ryan was confused. "What guy?"

Horatio lifted a hand and placed it gently upon Calleigh's shoulder trying to calm her. "Relax." Calleigh glanced at him and the others for a second before taking a deep breath. Caine gave her a small smile before speaking softly. "Now explain."

"It's about Natalia."

Ryan and Eric stiffened at the mention of the name, Horatio didn't even blink – he just looked at Calleigh urging her silently to continue. "Well, you know about her ex-husband…"

Ryan blinked, "Wait. Hold up. Ex-husband?" he glanced baffled at the others. "Wasn't he in jail?"

Eric turned to glance at a nearby wall. "He's out Ry."

Horatio glanced at the two men, "Gentlemen, I believe we can discuss this after we find out what's wrong."

The two nodded and once again Calleigh had their whole attention, so she continued. "As Eric said, he's out and I just had a run-in with him earlier. So did Natalia."

At the concerned and shocked looks – well a raised eyebrow from Caine – Calleigh continued on once again. "I found him within her labs as I was passing by. It didn't look friendly, I tell you that." She glanced at them all the anger held tightly within her eyes, "He had her back up against a chair and a wall."

Angers slowly started to seep within the others as well. No matter what issues anyone may have had with anyone, if it was one thing that none of them liked – especially Horatio – it was someone messing with one of their own.

"What!" Eric burst out angrily at the mere idea of that man anywhere Natalia again. He didn't like him anywhere near her since he first met her ex's. Especially when he recalled the fear that vibrated off of Natalia in waves. He wanted to keep her out of harm's way, protect her – keep that bastard from hurting Natalia ever again.

Ryan's eyes widen into saucers for a moment as he stood there speechless. He out of all of them was the most upset at Natalia over the whole "mole" incident a few weeks back – but that didn't mean he wanted her hurt. He still cared for her. "Is she okay?"

Horatio's eyes narrowed. He wasn't a man to express himself much towards his teammates in words, but he cared about each and one of them deeply. They were his family – his team. He had his hunches that Natalia was the mole before it ever came out to light, but he decided to keep that small information to himself. He had grown to know the girl, and while yes what she was doing wasn't correct – he understood where she was coming from and he understood when it came to making the wrong decisions.

Caine turned to glance at them all, "It seems that Mr. Nick Townsend and I need to have a little chat."
