Here is a new chapter. Not as good as the first in my opinion, but it's important in my eyes. I hope you enjoy. Mistakes are mine. CC is welcome, and Reviews are loved. CSI Miami is mine, just like I invented the lightbulb, I didn't. Here's the chapter. :)

Walking into Horatio's office, she wasn't sure exactly what to say. Ryan was in danger and she needed to speak to Horatio. He was one of the few humans that knew of what she was, and he was the person her and Ryan had in common. "Horatio?"

Horatio looked up at her. "Yes Calleigh?"

"I need to tell you something." She gave a small pause. "It's about Ryan."

Horatio sighed. "What this time?"

"He didn't do anything wrong."

"You can tell me Calleigh."

"I was hunting last night, it was required, and I felt someone was in trouble. It turns out Ryan was being attacked by a vampire."

"He's ok now, right?"

"I don't think so. The words this one said were disturbing." She paused. "He said if he didn't get him, someone else will. I think Ryan is attracting vampires, which is very rare."

"Is there any reason for this Calleigh?"

"It could b any number of reasons. There is more to it than feeding. I fear they may want to…" Calleigh didn't want to finish.

"Want to what?"

"Change him; make him like one of us." She looked in the direction of the Trace lab. She looked back at Horatio. "I don't think this is a life for him. If it's not that, maybe worse."

"You need to warn Ryan."

Calleigh really didn't want it to come to this. "Only when necessary."

Horatio nodded. "Ok, but do tell him soon."


Ryan was focusing on work. He was probably going to try and work a double tonight. He felt the need to keep his mind occupied. If not, his thoughts would go back to the man from last night. The first thing that came to Ryan's mind was the stormy gray eyes. They were frightening, though he wouldn't mention that to anyone.

Ryan felt eyes watching him soon after. He turned, but no one was there. 'Ok Ryan, just pull yourself together. You're going crazy.' He went back to the microscope in front of him.


"You sure about him? He's being watched over by the older vampire. And the redheaded human is also watching."

"This is a want, this is a need. I need him."

"For what?"

"You'll see. If I had a choice, I wouldn't go for it, but this is different."

"Ok, but we have to watch out for her."

"Of course, of course. Just wait, we'll get him. Then I'll be able to get away from her."

"Are you thinking about taking him entirely?"

"It's the only way."

"I hope you know what you're doing."
