Chapter 3
Hey everyone! Thanks so much for the great reviews! And, to clear things up, the location where Calleigh was kidnapped, how one paragraph said home, and the other said outside PD, I honestly didn't notice that! MobileMammy, thank you for pointing that out! I know how to clear it up though, I have a plan! ~Amber
Back at PD, Eric and Walter stood over a table, studying files and pictures on one of the many glass tables in the lab. Eric put the picture he was holding back on the table and dropped his elbows onto the table, lowering his head to run his hand through his hair just as Natalia walked into the lab. She sighed and set down a coffee in front of Eric, resting her hand on his arm with a look of understanding. "Still nothing?" she asked, knowing the answer before she had even finished the question.
"Not a thing. This guy is good, Nat. Not a hair or fingerprint anywhere in her house." He paused "There's one thing I don't understand… Why did he leave the cloth for us to find?" When he received equally as confused looks from Walter and Natalia, he sighed again, and Natalia glanced at a folder before speaking. "You're right. It doesn't make sense. It's obvious she was taken at her house; the evidence is all there, the blood, the mess, her shoe, but the cloth was left at PD for us to find. Why? Was he just trying to tell us he had Calleigh?" The question was left to the air as everyone silently studied the table, going over the evidence once again.
Calleigh and Ryan sat cross legged, facing each other, as Calleigh filled Ryan in on what she knew about where they were. "There is a floor above us, you can hear them come in and out, and there are no windows, so probably a basement or a cellar of some sort. As for location? I have no idea. I was unconscious the entire way here." She sighed and tucked her knees to her chest, resting her chin on the tops.
Ryan had never, in the entire time he had worked for the Miami Dade PD, seen Calleigh look so small, and utterly defeated. He felt a pang of pain in his heart at the thought that the ever strong, independent, bright, happy Calleigh was actually close to giving up. He stood up and walked to the door, putting his weight on it to test the give. "I think I have an idea." He said with a smirk "You in?" There was a moment's pause in which a look of fear passed in Calleigh's eyes, but it was instantly replaced with anger and determination. She nodded her head once "Yea, lets do this."
A few hours later, the door opened a crack and a man peered in. When he looked around, he could not see the two prisoners that were meant to be in the room. He opened the door wider and stepped inside. In that same instant, Calleigh dropped down from where she had been perched, using her hands and legs to stay on the roof, and landed on him, smacking his head on the ground as she fell and knocking him out. She nodded to Ryan, who had just stepped from behind the door, and he smiled "Not bad, rookie." He teased, earning a small smile as they walked through the door, prepared to fight for their freedom.
Yea, this one is a short one as well, but I want to leave you with that cliff hanger lol. Plus, you have gotten two chapters in three days, when it should be two in two weeks xD Enjoy! Please R&R, and I'll be posting more soon! Any flaws, please point them out so that I can fix them! :D ~Amber
