Hello, sorry for the lateness and shortness. Happens sometimes. Mistakes are mine. CSI Miami is mine as I am famous, I'm not. Therefore, they are not mine. CC is welcome and Reviews are encouraging. (They make me smile.) I hope you enjoy. Now on with the story. :)

Calleigh followed the faint bits of the vampires she could find. It was a clear trail. She found the abandoned warehouse almost immediately. Calleigh was on high alert. Finding this place was almost too easy. There was a door where she could feel a distressed human. Calleigh knew it was Eric. She opened the door and found him there, bound and gagged. "Eric!" She bent down and untied him. She pulled the gag off. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, but Calleigh, we have to hurry."

"Why, what's wrong?"

"Those things, they used me. They used me to distract you. They're after Ryan. They're going there right now."

The words hit Calleigh. How could she have been so stupid? She left Ryan alone with only Horatio and his mother. They didn't stand a chance. "Come on, we have to go now. I didn't bring a car, but I have a faster way there, come on."

"How is there a faster way?"

"Trust me Eric, I'll explain later." She pulled him along towards Ryan's home.


Calleigh and Eric couldn't believe their eyes, or at least, Calleigh couldn't. Eric was still shocked about being pulled over rooftops. The place was ransacked. She looked around. She heard a moan. She hurried over to find Lily on the floor. "Lily!"

"My baby, they toke my baby." Eric, getting over his initial shock, came over and helped her up.

"We have to get you to a hospital."

"There was a crash. The nice man, Horatio, tried to stop them. Ryan tried helping, but they were overpowered. Both of them. They're gone. They destroyed the place and toke them. Oh goodness, Ryan." She was crying hysterically.

"We have to take her to the hospital Calleigh."

"Yes, come on." They helped the hysterical woman to her feet.


Cold and dark. That's where Ryan was at the moment. Somewhere cold and dark. His instincts told him to run, but that option was cut off. He was chained to a wall. His eyes began to adjust, he still couldn't see well, but he made out the outline of a figure. "Mr. Wolfe?" Ryan was dazed and didn't respond at first. He thought he was imagining Horatio was there. "Ryan?"

"Right here H." He answered. Just then, the door slammed open. The light that suddenly came on was almost blinding.

"Hello, young Wolfe."

Ryan recognized the face. "You're the one Calleigh saved me from that night."

"She's not here to do that now, it she. I covered my trail this time too. She'll never find you." He gave a sinister smile. "I have to admit though, you and your friend here put up a good fight, for humans." He reached out to touch Ryan, but Ryan flinched away from the touch.

"Get away from me!" He backed as far as he could.

"Yep, most certainly a Wolfe."

"Why's Horatio here? Let him go."

"You see, it seems that my partner here," He pointed to another vampire that Ryan didn't even know was there, "He recognizes Horatio here. He wants to have sine fun. He'll feed off him for a little while, then turn, you know, just to see what happens." Ryan gave a look of horror. This can't be happening. This was a living nightmare, and he was in the middle of it.


Lillian Wolfe was a strong woman who raised her two boys on her own, but when it came to this, she was lost. Her child was in the hands of evil, her youngest child. She always worried this would happen, and it did. She knew he oldest was safe now, only one child can get his, though it was a mystery. Lily knew Ryan had a higher chance just because of who his father was.

Her mind wondered to Ryan's father. She never told her boys they had different fathers. Lily felt that it would hurt them knowing. Her oldest sons' father died before they were married. Ryan's still lived. Oh, how she prayed the beautiful blonde woman would find him. Sitting in the hospital bed, she only hoped.
