"Eric? Do you have the building in sight?" Horatio asked through the police radio.
"Yeah H, we're landing far enough away so that the suspect won't hear us," Eric said as he told the driver to find a place to land.
"I'm almost there Eric, don't go in without me," Horatio said, then hung up the radio. He drove to where Tracey had told them, and found the Dade copter landing in a deserted parking lot. "Eric! Get in!" Horatio yelled. Eric complied and ran to the car. He got in and before Eric could even close the door Horatio went speeding off in the direction of Tim and Calleigh.
Meanwhile, back in the house, the man that had taken them came back in, on Calleigh's side. He found that the window was broken and went into a rage. He yanked Calleigh away from the window, and threw her to the ground. He looked back at Tim who was screaming for him to let her go. Tim was up against the window, reaching out for her. The man grabbed his arm, popping it out of it's socket, and making Tim hit the window with more force than if he'd punched him. His head started bleeding from the impact, but he didn't care. He pulled his arm back through the window. He wasn't helping Calleigh by getting himself hurt.
"So you broke my window huh?" The man asked as he turned to Calleigh. She whimpered and scooted backwards away from him, but he only stepped closer. "You know what I do to bad girls like you?" he asked, picking her up by her hair and making her stand up.
Calleigh looked at him and then got more courage than she'd had about five minutes ago. She stepped back and swung her arm towards his head as fast as she could, and punched him, causing him to step back a bit. "You little bitch," he said angrily, stepping back towards her. He slapped her across the face and shoved her up against the wall. It was then that something exploded near the door, causing him to fall backwards, and Calleigh to fall to the side.
"Miami-Dade police! Put your hands behind your head!" the police officer screamed at him. Another set of police officers cut the lock off of the door that connected Tim and Calleigh's rooms. Tim came running over to the other side just as Calleigh was standing up. He ran to her and wrapped his arms around her, mindful of her wounds.
"Calleigh I'm never letting you go ever again, I'm so sorry," he said lightly into her ear.
Calleigh shook her head. "It's the job Tim, this things happen, just hold me Tim," she said lightly as she wrapped her arms around him as well and held him as close as she could.
"I love you," Tim whispered lightly in her ear, then kissed her forehead. Calleigh looked up and smiled a little.
"I love you too."
"Tim! Calleigh! Are you alright?" Eric called, coughing because of the dust that the explosion had created.
"We're fine," Tim called, keeping Calleigh close to him. Calleigh looked to her side and pulled away from Tim a bit to go to Eric. "I'm okay," she said, walking up to him and hugging him. Only then did she start crying. Reality hit her that she was safe now. "Thank you, I thought you would never find us," she told him.
"We weren't going to stop until we did Calleigh, it's empty there without you two," he told her, smiling a bit. Calleigh pulled away from him as Eric moved over to Tim. "You alright man?" Tim nodded, but it wasn't convincing. "Tim…." he said before bringing him in for a brotherly hug.
"Thanks Eric," Tim said softly, then looked to Calleigh, who had noticed Horatio in the other room and went over to him, and was now in the doorway talking to him. He had his hand on the small of her back and told her to go outside to where Alexx was waiting. She nodded and went outside to where she was, and Tim followed. When he got outside, Alexx and Calleigh were both crying and hugging each other. Alexx was holding onto her tight, so happy that they'd found her friends.
Tim walked up, and that's when he was embraced by Alexx, which Calleigh had to chuckle at. She sat down on the gurney and waited for Alexx to patch her up while her and Tim hugged.
"Come on Timmy, take a seat next to Calleigh," she said lightly, which Tim complied to. He reached down and grabbed Calleigh's hand, giving it a light squeeze. Calleigh rested her head against his shoulder until Alexx grabbed her kit and started to fix her up. She started with her old bullet wound, which was bleeding a little under the bandage. She switched the bandages and then looked up and saw that the side of her head was bleeding. She wiped away the blood that was trickling down the side, and then put a bandage over it. Her other wounds would have to be taken care of when they got to the hospital.
Alexx then moved to Tim and fixed up the wound on his head, then moved to his shoulder. "This is going to hurt a little Timmy," she said lightly. Calleigh looked up at him and nodded, and shook his arm a little, letting him know that she was still there.
Alexx moved his shoulder back into it's place, and to her surprise, Tim didn't make a sound, just let out a breath that he'd been holding.
"Alright you two, lets get you to the hospital, okay?" she asked lightly as the helicopter landed next to the building. Cal and Tim got up and walked over to it. They were told to lay down on a separate bed, and then were put into the back of the helicopter. Alexx got in with them, and they were hoisted away to the hospital to find out the extent of their injuries. Calleigh was starting to panic. She didn't want Horatio, Alexx, and Eric knowing what that man did to her, but they were going to have to know in order to pin this guy for everything they could get.
For now, Eric and Horatio left night shift to their crime scene, since they weren't biased. The three day shift members, Horatio, Eric, and Alexx got into their respective cars and drove to the hospital, hoping that their friends hadn't been hurt too badly.
