*Chapter 5 is up! ENJOY!!!

A flurry of emotions passed across Horatio's face: fury, despair, pain, sadness and most importantly, loss. He swallowed hard as he started at the flames, trying to not think of Calleigh suffering in that inferno. Slowly, he took off his sunglasses, letting the raw pain flood his eyes as he stared at the flames unblinkingly. Then, he was aware of Eric saying his name. He slipped his sunglasses on to hide his tortured eyes and looked at Eric.
"Yes Eric?"
"H, I saw Calleigh. She was out of the plane, but then she ran back in for some reason." Eric said softly, and Ryan said,
"Yeah, she was looking at this woman, who was crying that her kid was still in the plane,"
"She went back in for the kid," Alexx said quietly, and the team stood there, knowing that their Calleigh died trying to save a kid.
Eric and Ryan strode away, needing to get away, and went to talk to the woman that Ryan saw Calleigh look at. Alexx sidled up next to Horatio and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"You'll be okay, Horatio,"
"No, Alexx, I won't!" He exclaimed, and then said,
"I apologize, Alexx, I, I just lost it, I suppose,"
"It's okay," She soothed, and then Horatio said,
"It's just that, whenever I, I love someone, they end up being taken away from me, somehow, no matter what. I think I'm cursed, or something, Alexx,"
"Horatio, don't think like that, it's not your fault, don't beat yourself up over this,"
"I know, but, I just can't help it. I'm going to miss her so much, Alexx," He whispered, and Alexx squeezed his shoulder.
"We all are, Horatio, we all are."

Just then, Eric and Ryan came back up and said,
"The woman said that her little girl got left behind in the race to get out."
Horatio and Alexx nodded, and then Frank came up, and their tortured faces told him that what he had heard was true, a CSI had been killed in the explosion, and that that CSI was Calleigh Duquesne. The five stood there, silently mourning their fallen angel.
It just couldn't be true, it couldn't be right. Their Bullet Girl just couldn't be dead. It wasn't right. It just wasn't right.
