Hey! Sorry for the shortness, but it fits. I'm hoping you'll enjoy this chapter. Mistakes are always mine. I do work alone. CSI Miami belongs to others, other I don't know in person. I'm own none of it. CC is welcome, and I love reviews, even if they are not required.
Ryan felt, to say the least, drained. He was dizzy and couldn't think straight. He tried to look around, but it only made him more lightheaded. He lost consciousness soon after.
Horatio's condition wasn't much better. He didn't lose as much blood, but he wasn't as young as Ryan. He looked over to see Ryan lying on the floor in front of him. Horatio observed how he was desperately pale he was before he too went into a world of blackness.
Calleigh didn't like how this trail was going. Unlike when she was searching for Eric, the trail was covered. Everything was covered. There was no way she was going to find them they way she did before. "Damn." She turned back to the hospital. She needed to speak with Eric before she went to talk to John. The older vampire could perhaps help her. "Eric."
"You have some explaining to do."
She sighed. She knew this as going to happen sooner or later. 'Might as well get it over with now.' Calleigh explained to him everything that was going on. John could always wait.
John was in his kitchen, when he had suddenly felt off. Something was wrong, he could feel it. He tried shaking it off, but it didn't go away. He decided it was time to go and check on Calleigh. She needed to see how she and Ryan were doing.
He glided over the rooftops easily. John wondered how he never knew Ryan was so close. He looked around for Calleigh, but she was nowhere to be found. 'Odd.' He thought. He knew she was protective of the boy.
John went closer to the place. He felt an overwhelming amount of emotion left over in the area. All the emotions were unique to each person. A big struggle happened here. He was on his way to the hospital. He had a feeling he'd meet Calleigh there.
"You'll find him, right?"
"Of course."
"You're a good woman." Lily paused for a second. "He's my youngest you know. He's a very strong young man, much like his father."
"Who was his father?"
"Not even he knows."
"So, you're not going to tell."
"Sorry sweetie."
"I'm ok with that." She recognized someone standing outside the room. "I'll be right back."
"Of course."
Calleigh greeted the man outside. Lily couldn't see outside, so she just sat back.
"John, how'd you know I was here?"
"I went to Ryan's place."
"Oh."
"Is he here? I felt a lot of conflict in his home."
"No, John, he's not."
John knew what happened. "They have him?" Calleigh nodded. "We need to get your redheaded friend…"
"They have him too."
"Who's here? Did you get the trail?" John was concerned. 'What were they going to do with Horatio? Where's the boy?' Many questions were running through the older vampires mind.
"Ryan's mother is here. She happened to be at the house."
This was confusing. This never happens. It's usually all or nothing. "They had specific targets. They didn't expect her to be there. We need to find them soon. They're in grave danger."
"I know, but they covered their tracks this time."
"This time? How'd they even get to them?"
"I was distracted."
"By what?"
"They toke Eric, me and Ryan's friend, so that I would be too distracted by that to watch Ryan."
"Strange. Really strange. What would they want with Horatio? Though I hate to say it, I understand why they toke Ryan, but Horatio?"
"This is completely out of character for our kind."
John nodded. "This is urgent. We have to get them both back. Maybe there's more to this than we realize." He felt the sadness rolling off of Calleigh. He smiled softly. "Well get him back. We'll get them both back."
"You think we'll get there in time."
"Of course." John didn't usually lie to Calleigh, but he was uncertain about Horatio's fate. His biggest fear is finding him turned. At this point, he wasn't even sure he was alive, but he had to comfort the woman before him. "Of course we're going to find him on time."
I went from just hurting Ryan, to H and Ryan. What's wrong with me. Oh well, I guess it's in my genes.
