Hey sorry for the wait, I'm super busy with school and everything hope you enjoy this chapter.

Having a dog they soon discovered required dog food. Eric went down to the nearest pet store to buy some food for the mutt while Calleigh stayed with him. Calleigh sat on her couch with Oreo in her lap watching TV.

"What not to wear." Calleigh said amused "You would think that if someone had a dress that looked liked it had come out of a floral department 70 years ago, that they would throw it out." She said looking at Oreo.

Oreo looked over to her and then to the door. Oreo began to growl and the hair on his neck began to stand up. Calleigh soothed him by rubbing her hand on his back and whispering soothing things in his ear.

Outside two men were grabbing their guns and walking to the house. They made sure that the van had been prepared and that everything was ready for the little CSI.

Calleigh reached for her gun, and took it off safety and stood up. Oreo was growling and barking at the door. Calleigh stood behind the corner and looked outside through the window. She saw two men with masks and guns at her door. She took out her phone and dialed Eric's number.

"Hello"

"Eric is me Calleigh."

"What's wrong." his voice filled with concern.

"Eric there's two men at the door with masks and guns." Calleighs voice shook.

"I'll be right there I'll phone H as well."

"Thanks, love you."

"Love you to."

Then the line went dead. Calleigh calmed her breathing and waited for the men to make there entrance. Then a bang came, shards of wood from the door were sprayed around the living room as the door came in. Men began to yell and tear apart the house. Then one spotted her.

Calleigh raised her gun and took aim. She fired off two rounds nocking both men to the floor. What she didn't count on was one more person. He came from behind her, grabbed her around the waist. Calleigh began to struggle, when she became to hard for him to hold on to he placed a wet sweet smelling cloth over her nose.

Calleighs eyelids became heavy and she began to fall victim to the chloroform. She hear more men come as she blacked out. The men carried her to the van, tied her down with rope. They bound her hands to the sides of the van and her feet to the makeshift rings on the floor.

Sirens could be heard from the distance as the team came racing for Calleigh. The men slammed the doors on the van, they ran to the side of the van and jumped in. Horatio and Eric came screeching around the corner, they saw the van and the men who got into it.

Rage boiled in Eric's veins as they raced after the van. Horatio turned left hoping to cut off the van while Eric stayed on his tail.

In the van Calleigh began to wake up. She was jerked to the side when the van made a sharp turn left. When the van hit a pothole in the rode her head was knocked against the floor, knocking her out yet again.

As the van ran a red light it came into contact with a small car. The van hit the car with so much force that it's rear end came up over the car, flipping the van. The van rolled over and spun on its nose and came to rest on it's roof.

Eric raced up to the van, as he got out of his Hummer when the van burst into flames. Flames started at the engine but made their way quickly up the gas line and to the back of the van where Calleigh was tied to what was now the top of the van.

The flames caught hold of the metal ends of the rings melting them so they slipped thew the floor, falling to the ground. Calleigh awoke to the smell of burning fuel. She saw a glow above her head. Her legs now free she stood up, her hand still being bound to the roof of the upside down van. She pulled on the ropes as thick black smoke began to fill the van.

Calleigh tried to scream but nothing came. The ropes that bound her hands not giving in at all. She looked for something sharp to cut the ropes with but all the edges were either smooth or to far away for her to cut the rope with. She began to pull again but to no avail. Breathing became hard as the smoke got thicker. Then she heard someone call her name.

Faint but muffled she heard the call of her name. "Calleigh!?...Calleigh can you hear me?!" Calleigh kicked the van to make some noise.

Lack of oxygen began to take it's toll on her small body. Calleigh's head began to fell heavy. She began to lose control to stay awake as the flames roared above her. Finally she let her eyes close and her breathing began to slowly, slowly stop. Her body fell limp on the ropes. The full weight of her body on the ropes loosened the knots a slight bit. Calleighs body hung on the ropes tied to the van as the flames came threw the roof, catching the ropes. Her heart beat became erratic as she lost the fight with death, her body shook as her heart failed.

Calleigh Duquense hung from the burning ropes on the verge of death, hanging on only for one reason.

OK so hope you liked it. I had to get this out before I left to go on holidays. Now even though Calleigh is close to death, I still have the power to save her. Also what do you think the reason for her hanging on to life is? And out of curiosity how made would you be if I killed her? Please review. I will take anonymous reviews as well as non anonymous reviews.

Hope you liked
