Horatio could hear Pedro talking on the phone on the floor under him, "Yes! He has a phone, all I got to do is to get down there and call someone and they can trace the call" He thought, but suddenly remembered the big piece of glass in his foot.

"Damn, I have to take it out before I can walk, and to take it out my hands need to be free", he banged his head against the wall a couple of times.

He was getting so frustrated, his ribs and back were killing him, but he had to do something to get out of here, even if it meant pulling out the glass from his foot.

"You look like you're in a lot of pain Caine, are you?" Pedro asked from outside the room.

"You should know, shouldn´t you... what do you think after your torture." Horatio said with anger in his voice.

"Hah, I guess I should know. Well if it will make you happier I'm going free you hands."

Horatio didn't answer, of course he was happy that Pedro would free his hands, but the only way for him to get to the phone was without the piece of glass in his foot and with Pedro out of the house.

Pedro walked in to the room and rolled Horatio on his stomach; he took out a knife and cut off the ropes around Horatio´s wrists.

"There you go, hehe, happy now?" Pedro asked with a big ugly smirk.

Suddenly Pedro took a grip off Horatio´s right foot.

"It doesn´t look comfortable having this piece of glass in your foot, maybe I should take it out?" Pedro's smile told Horatio that he wasn´t going to pull it out.

Suddenly Pedro pressed the glass deeper into Horatio's foot. Horatio screamed pain, he jerked his back up.

"Argh! Stop it!" He screamed.

Pedro was enjoying this, that's was for sure, he pressed slowly, making Horatio go crazy, Pedro was laughing. After a while the top of the glass started to come out on the top of Horatio´s foot, but Pedro didn´t stop there, he kept on going until the bottom was barely visible.

"Argh! Fuck!" Horatio panted; if he would have had a gun right now he would have blown Pedro´s head off without hesitation.

"Hurts doesn´t it? That's the way I felt when you put my brother in jail."

Pedro left, Horatio was bleeding very much from his foot.

"Shit! It hurts so much! I'm going to kill that fucker!"

Of course now he could do what he had planned to do, he could take the glass out and run down to the phone, if only Pedro would leave soon.

"Please, Calleigh, find me soon... I love you Calleigh." He thought as he was getting extremely tired.

Eric walked in with about twenty case files; he dropped them on the table in the break room.

"Okay, this is the cases over the last year where people have made threats to Horatio." He said and saw how Calleigh´s and Alexx's faces shined up.

"Good, I hope our guy is in one these files." Calleigh said and started looking in the top file.

Eric and Alexx took a file each and started looking as well. Ryan walked in after about 15 minutes; he took a cup of coffee.

"Hey, did you find anything?" Eric asked.

"No, sorry, there´s nothing there, I mean, we searched the hole house and the entrance, which is where he was attacked, his shades were there, but other than that we got nothing." He said and drank some coffee.

"Well, we got case files from the last year with people making threats towards H." Eric said and gave Ryan a case file.

"This guy looks like a match, David Finch, been in jail for assault against judges and lawyers, he also said he would kill Horatio slowly when his brother Jay was sent to 33 years in prison for sexual abuse." Calleigh said showing them the picture of David, by just looking at him you could see that he was violent.

"Well I hate to rule out a good match, but David has been in a coma for about three weeks and still hasn´t woken up, apparently he was injured in a car accident three weeks ago." Tripp said standing in the doorway.

"Damn, okay, let's keep on looking." Said Eric.

"Yeah, you know what; I´ll take five case files with me to read in my lab see you." Calleigh said walking out of the room before anyone could object.

As she entered her lab and sat down, she looked at the door, as if Horatio would walk in any minute now and ask her how she was doing, he always did, he walked around every morning asking everybody how they were doing, why would something like this happened to such a nice person?

"Why him, why not me? I´d die for him, he doesn´t deserve this, he doesn´t deserve being kidnapped." she started crying, wondering what however had him was doing to him, was he injured? Was he already dead?

But no she couldn´t think like that, Alexx was right, of course they would find him. She only hoped they would find him alive.

-I-

Horatio hadn´t fallen asleep, he just rested a little bit, he looked at his foot, he knew that you should never pull something out if it was stuck in your body, but he had to, to have a chance of getting out he had to.

He sat up, took a hold of his foot and stared at it for a long time.

"This is going to hurt, I'm just going to cause myself more pain" he thought and for a second he thought about giving up.

He suddenly remembered he had a picture of a sleeping blonde CSI in the back pocket of his pants, he took it out.

He had taken that picture a week ago, he and Eric had walked in on Calleigh sleeping, and Horatio just had to take a picture, he was supposed to show it to her, but then he got kidnapped. She looked so peaceful, her skin so soft and she had a little smile, he wondered what it would be like to wake up and see that pretty face every morning.

He wondered what it would be like to hold her and kiss her.

"But if I die here, I will never know what it's like." He thought and once again prepared himself to pull out the glass from his foot.

He took a grip of the bottom of the glass and closed his eyes, he was just about to start pulling when he remembered that Pedro was still downstairs, he had to put something in his mouth to muffle his screams, he ripped away a piece of fabric from his pants and put it in his mouth.

He bit his tongue as he started to pull out the glass, "Oh fucking God! This hurts!" he thought and stopped, half of it was out; he had hard time breathing because of his ribs. When his breathing had slowed down a little he pulled again, he groaned in pain and could feel his blood flow from the wound.

As soon as the glass was out he took the fabric from his mouth and tied it around his foot. His foot was aching.

"Oh fuck that hurt!" He groaned.

Tears ran down his cheeks, he didn´t know if he should cry or laugh. At least now he had a chance to get out and it sure felt good without the glass stuck in his foot.

Ryan ran fast in the hallway, he had two very possible suspects.

He bumped into Natalia.

"Hey Ryan, what's going on?" She asked.

"I have two very possible suspects." He panted.

"Good, I´ll find Calleigh and Alexx and you´ll run after Tripp and Eric."

They parted and after only a couple of minutes they were all gathered in the break room.

"Okay, so I found two possible suspects, the first one is Bradley Becket, he said he was going to kill us all when his daughter was sent to jail for armed robbery, now he specifically said he was going to kidnap us one at the time and torture us, now to the best part. He has been stalking H for almost two weeks, that's enough time to learn someone's routines. Ryan said showing them the picture of Bradley."

"That's good, the next one?" Tripp asked.

"That's Ramon Julio Pedro Moreno, we all put his brother away for murder only a month ago, he has been seen writing notes with words like "Kill Caine" and "Blow up MDPD", stuff like that, he also tried to attack H with a knife in court the day his brother was found guilty, he was released the next day."

"Okay, I´ll send out a BOLO on both of them." Tripp said and walked away to make his phone call.

"Very good Ryan!" Eric said patting Ryan on the shoulder.

"Thanks, I hope it's one of these guys." Ryan said.

Everybody felt a little bit happier now that they had two suspects with good motives.
