An odd silence hung over the deserted street. Everyone was at work, just another typical day in Miami. The sun glared down from a cloudless sky onto the two CSIs who were swiftly approaching their colleague's apartment hoping to find her alive and well and that somebody was playing a sick joke on them. In the back of their minds both Horatio and Eric knew they were just kidding themselves. Somewhere, probably in her own apartment Calleigh was lying in a pool of her own blood, unconscious or even dead.
Just under twelve hours ago they had been on the very same street making sure that miss Duquesne got home safely after what had been quite a revealing night at the pub. Apart from the fact that Ryan had been more than slightly drunk and red-faced with embarrassment there was nothing unusual about the previous night. They had watched Calleigh enter her apartment and wave goodbye.
As the pair approached Calleigh's apartment a sense of dread filled them. Images of blood covered walls, smashed glass and her lifeless body appeared to flash before their eyes. They had both been to their fair share of bloody crime scenes they knew what they should expect whether they wanted to or not.
After what seemed a lifetime they finally arrived at her front door. They found it locked. Both CSIs reached into their pockets and pulled out their keys. Apparently Calleigh had trusted them both enough to give them keys to her apartment.
'Just how many people have keys to this apartment?' Eric pushed that thought away instantly as Horatio unlocked the door. Calleigh wasn't stupid, he doubted she would consider giving her keys to anyone outside of the lab.
Slowly Horatio opened the door and slipped silently into the apartment followed by Eric. Everything seemed to be in place as far as either of them could tell from their few visits to the apartment. After taking a look around nothing seemed to be missing or out of place and it soon became obvious to them that the pictures of Calleigh were not taken in the apartment and that Calleigh had not been taken away from the safety of her apartment against her will.
