Chapter 14
Hours later
As the drug started to finally ware off, Calleigh groaned as she moved her head up. She was about to move her arms but she couldn't, so she opened her eyes slowly and looked down and saw that her wrists were tied to the chair. As she thinks of what happened the night before, she hears a voice she wasn't expecting. "Good morning, sweetheart."
Calleigh moved her eyes to look in front of her and gasped as she saw Jake staring at her. "Jake! You bastard, let me go"
After the whole incident he resigned immediately from his position with the police force over the phone and they found out that he left his apartment, so they had no idea what happened to him, which Horatio and Calleigh were kind of glad that he wasn't around anymore, for different reasons of course because Horatio still didn't know the truth of what happened.
He smiled as he walks up toward her, then he cupped her cheek while she cringed. "And miss out on seeing your beautiful face again." He tipped her head up a little so he could get a good look in her eyes. "Although, your eyes are a little sadder these days." She narrowed her eyes, partly from what she wanted to say back and the other part because her head was pounding a little, but before she could say anything, he removed his hand from her cheek and stepped back before getting his phone from his pocket. "And as much as I would love to continue to look into your eyes, I have a phone call to make, excuse me."
As he was dialing, she asked. "Who are you calling Jake?"
He gives a look and said. "I think you know who, sweetheart."
She looks at him wide-eyed then shook her head, trying to convince him that it wouldn't work. "It won't matter, we've been done for the past few weeks, he won't care."
Deep down she knew that wasn't true because she saw the way Horatio was looking at her yesterday, but if it got Jake to not call him and set up a trap or whatever he was planning on doing, she'll say it.
He chuckled as he placed the phone up to his ear, and as he started walking toward the door of the warehouse he replied. "I hardly doubt that Calleigh, that man will care for you for as long as he's alive, which in my calculations he'll have about 30-35 minutes left."
She asked," What are you planning Jake?", "Leave him out of this" Calleigh's afraid of what Jake is planning to do, she feared for Horatio's life
As he stepped out of the warehouse she started yelling for him and moving her hands, trying to get out, but stopped a few seconds later when she sees a gun pointed at her and a bald head man was shaking his head no. Calleigh stopped moving but her heart was pounding and a few tears started to come in her eyes.
Horatio was sitting at a diner having breakfast when his cell phone rings, he looks at Sarah with an apologetic smile before grabbing his phone from the clip, then after a look at the caller ID, which the number was unknown, he still answered it like he normally does. "Caine."
"Hi Lieutenant, it has been awhile."
Horatio's blood ran hot at the sound of his voice. "What do you want Jake?"
Jake smiled as he replied. "I believe I have something of yours that you might want back, which she believes you won't come and get it, but I think we both know that isn't true." His heart had stopped now as his blood started running cold, but before he could speak, Jake continues. "And if you want to see her alive again I suggest you come alone."
"Where?"
After telling him the address, he finished the conversation with. "And remember come alone or you'll be picking up a dead body."
Before anymore words were said the phone clicked dead and Horatio was still sitting there shocked, then got out of it when Sarah puts her hand on his and asked. "What's wrong, Horatio?"
He shook his head as he slipped his hand out from under hers, then as he stood up he said. "I have to go, Calleigh is in trouble." Before she could speak, he had money on the table and said. "I had a great breakfast with you, I'll call you later." She nodded as he turned around and started calling Frank while he walked out of the diner.
