A/N: There you go, chapter three finished to read! I'm writing a lot these days, now when it's holiday, so there will hopefully be a new update soon! Thanks to you who's reviewed, and for you who reads but doesn't review - it doesn't take that long to write a line or two. If you haven't read Past Haunts, there might be a little part you don't understand, but i don't think it's a big deal. But still I recommend you to read Past Haunrs :)

Read, Review and Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Jerry Bruckheimer is the lucky one. I'm just borrowing his characters for a while...


"So what are you feeling about school, you're class was separated wasn't it?" Molly asked, looking at Stephanie and Madison. "Did you come in the same class, or did they split you?"
Madison and Stephanie looked at each other. Hadn't anyone told her? Apparently not.
"Umm… Molly…" Molly heard immediately that there was something going on.
"What?"
"Well… I thought you knew, but apparently not…"
"Knew what sweetheart?"
"I'm moving back to New York, Molly," Stephanie said, looking sadly at her.
"You… you're… no…" She started to laugh, unsure. "I don't like this joke, Steph… I… It is a joke, isn't it?"
Stephanie shook her head, tears in her eyes. Now when she sat there, beside Molly, she realised that Madison wasn't the only one she was going to miss. What about Molly, Suzie and Horatio? And the city? Miami. Now she realized how much she was going to miss it all. I love Miami, Miami is a magic city. A city I'm leaving.
Molly embraced her in a giant hug, sobbing.
"But… Why are you leaving? When are you leaving?" She asked between the sobs.
"Dad's work… And we're leaving in two days. Today and tomorrow are my last days here."
More sobbing.

It took them one more hour before Molly let them leave, still crying as she closed the door behind them.
"I'm sorry about that," Stephanie said to Michael and Joachim.
"No, that's ok. She seems to be very fond of you."
"Yeah, she is…"
"This is where we live..." Michael said after a while.
"Okay, well I guess we'll see each other around. Maybe we'll talk tomorrow!"
"Yeah, bye!"
"Bye!"
"Talk to you later!"
Stephanie kept walking home but noticed Madison was going in another direction.
"Maddie, it's this way," She said, wondering what her friend was up to.
"Um… Steph I'm going this way."
"Why? Mad, I don't know what you ate or drank on the party, but you're not thinking straight. The way home is this way honey."
"No it isn't!"
"Mad, what the heck are you talking about?! Home is this way!"
"No, I'm staying at Horatio's tonight."
They both laughed.
"Why didn't you say so?"
"I don't know…" She grinned stupidly at her.
"I must get back now, Horatio probably sitting up, waiting for me. Would be very like him. What time is it?"
"Half past three."
"Woops, I better go! Bye hun!" She said and gave Stephanie a hug.
"Bye sweetie, see you tomorrow!"
One quarter of an hour later Madison stopped outside Horatio's door. She took her keys out of her purse and opened the door.
After taking her shoes off, she left the hall and went into the living room.
"Horatio?"
The swivel armchair turned and Horatio looked at her.
"Hey sweetheart. You had a good time?"
"Yeah, well we left the party already at one, and went to Molly's instead. We sat there and ate pancakes for a while, and talked a lot. You should meet Michael and Joachim, they are really nice."
"The guys from England?" He asked, his lips forming to a smile.
"Yes, the guys from England. What's amusing you?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm just noticing that you're growing up. Time flies…"
Time flies. There it was again. Another thing reminding him of what had happened all those years ago. It didn't matter what happened or what anyone said, all he heard and saw reminded him of what had happened. Since then he enjoyed every moment with Madison as much as he could. And he was luckily he was able to meet her, since her life had been hanging by a thread more than once. Every day was worth reminding.
She smiled.
"Lieutenant Caine, you're thinking far too much, you forget to be. Can't you just stop thinking and just… live?"
He smiled back.
"Look whose talking."
"Okay, okay, you got me! Now when you say it, maybe I think a lot. But I'm not forgetting to live."
They both laughed, they were so alike it was scary.
"So did you get some sleep while waiting for me?"
He looked guilty at her.
"Oh, now you're surprising me!"
He smiled at her again.
"C'mon it's time to go to bed. I'm working tomorrow you know."
"Don't even try Horatio. Don't even try to make me feel guilty! I know better than anyone that you would have stayed up this late even if you hadn't waited for me. You still would've stayed up working."
"Now you got me! C'mon, let's go to bed."

The next day they met Michael and Joachim again. The spent the whole day at the beach, and learnt to know each other really good. The day past and before they knew it, it was a new day and it was time to say farewell to Stephanie. No, not farewell, just goodbye. Because they would see each other again - they had promised they would.
Madison tried to stop crying, but it didn't work. She and Stephanie were crying like babies, none of them could stop the tears from falling down their cheeks.
"Mad, I don't want to leave," Stephanie said for the seventh time.
The girls had been hugging each other for five minutes but didn't let go of each other.
"I don't wanna…" Stephanie cried in her ear.
"Shh… it'll be ok… I'm gonna call you every hour if you want me to!"
"I don't want you to call me; I want to be with you in Miami!"
Madison took a deep sigh.
"Stephanie, we're acting like babies. C'mon, Michael and Joachim have been waiting for fifteen minutes to say goodbye."
"Oh, gosh you're right. But still…"
Michael and Joachim, who had been standing a few metres away, came closer now when they saw the girls finally had separated.
Stephanie throw herself round there necks.
"Group hug!" Stephanie called, and they all were together in a great hug.
"Stephanie!" Her dad, David, called from the car.
"Well, I guess I have to go… I'll call you guys later. And we're seeing each other soon, aren't we?"
"Of course," Madison said, and hugged her again.
After hugging all of them two more times, Stephanie leaved. She turned back, and with a last glance at her friends, she jumped into the car.

Madison watched the car leave, and felt the tears on her cheeks, but didn't care. Michael came and gave her a hug.
"You ok?" he asked in her ear.
"Well… yeah, I'm ok. I'm just a bit upset…"

"Horatio? Can I come in? Or am I interrupting you in something?" Madison asked. She saw someone move behind him, and then realised it was Yelina.
"Oh, sorry! I didn't know you two were having lunch! Sorry!"
"No, that's ok, Madison," Yelina said behind Horatio.
"No, honestly I don't want to interrupt you in something! I'll see you tomorrow instead Horatio!"
"Ok, see you tomorrow then!" He said, gave her a quick hug and then Madison left, with a big smile on her lips. Maybe this time…
She looked at her watch. It was a quarter past one. Then Stephanie should be in New York by now, she thought, as she took her cell phone out. After choosing a number on the speed dial she put the phone to her ear.
"Mad, is that you?" Was the answer she heard on the other side of the line. She laughed.
"Yeah, hun, it's me."
While talking Madison started to walk.
"I'm not gonna like living here, Mad. Here's so much noise. So much dirt…"
"You're in a big city, what did you expect? It's not like Miami."
"That's my point. I want to go back."
"We both know that's not a possibility, Steph."
"I know but.. I miss you, and to be honest… I miss Joachim and Michael too."
"But honestly girl, you've known them for two days!"
"I know, but you like them too! And don't tell me you're not on your way to see them. I know you are!"
"Ok, you've known me for twelve years, but to read minds isn't a fact even if 12 years is a long time!" They both laughed.
"I just knew it! So what are you guys planning to do?"
"I dunno, but I expect we'll have to go to Molly's. You saw her at your house, she was crying more than all others together!"
"Oh, now I feel a lot better! Now I don't have to have a guilty conscience."
"Sorry." Madison said, and could really see how Stephanie smiled on the other side of the line.
"Please tell her hey from me, and say I'll be back visiting her soon!"
"Will you?"
"I don't know. I don't know if I'm allowed to go to Miami by myself. If I'm not I won't visit often, cause mom and dad wont go to Miami often."
"No, you're right."
"Mad, I can't talk any longer, we're going to take the underground now."
"Ok, I'll call you later! Bye!
"Bye darling!" They hung up and Madison put her cell phone back in her pocket.

A few moments later she stopped outside the house she new as Michaels and Joachim's. Acwell Creasant 29. She knocked at the door, and a few seconds later Joachim opened the door.
"Hi! You've already visit Horatio?" He asked surprised.
"Well, he was having dinner with Yelina, and I didn't want to disturb them."
"Wait… Yelina is his sister-in-law, and they like each other, but both a bit too shy to dare show it? Am I right?"
"Yep, did I tell you that?"
"No, Stephanie told me when we were on the beach."
"Ah, okay. And here comes Michael."
For some reason Joachim didn't look happy about this. But maybe she was just imagining things?
"Hey!" He said and smiled at her.
"Hi!" She smiled back.
"So what do you want to do?" Joachim asked.
Madison kept eye contact with Michael for one last second and then she turned to Joachim.
"I was thinking maybe we can go visit Molly. I think she needs to get consoled. You saw how shaken she was."
"Yea, we can do that," Joachim answered.
"Sure, no problem!" Michael said.
"Ok then, let's go."
"Have you spoken to Stephanie yet?" Michael asked as they started to walk.
"Yep, I called her before I came here. She really want to go back, but I think she'll have a good time…" Madison didn't know if they had heard it, but when she had said that it didn't sound as if she believed in what she said. And she didn't. She knew that Stephanie hated New York. She hated the noise. She hated all the dirt and the fact that it was a big city. Stephanie also said the people there were very impolite.
Madison was a bit afraid that Stephanie would have a hard time there. Not because her parents weren't nice to her or that she wouldn't get friends; Madison knew she would get friends. But she hated the city. She hated living there. After they had moved to Miami, they had moved back to New York a couple of times, a few months at a time. So Stephanie remembered her time in New York, and she had hated it already by that time.
"Yeah, I think she'll have a wonderful time! Who doesn't enjoy their stay in New York?!"

Stephanie.
