She got up off the bed and went out of the bedroom, she came back a few moments later with a duffel bag in her hand. Horatio's head was reeling, he began to think, work, no, phone, I need to get to the phone, then he thought the team, they would come or call. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt her….touching his leg?
He picked up his head and saw her standing between his legs with something in her hand. What now? He thought.
She climbed on top of him and straddled his waist. He picked his head up again and looked at her confused, eyes wide, almost asking a silent question.
She just smiled to him and said "Remember now what I said, just relax." He tried to squirm and shake her but it was no use.
She laughed deeply at him and said "Now just where, do you think, you aregoing? Hmm? Smiling the whole time, at him.
His eyes narrowed at her and he clenched his teeth… he was glaring at her. He had just about enough and was really beginning to lose control of his emotions.
She put the object down on the bed and shoved both her hands into his chest, pushing him into the mattress hard. He lost his breath and let out a low dangerous growl. Looking him straight in the eye, pushing her upper body weight into his chest, with both arms, she asked him "What, are you glaring at?" with anger in her voice now.
"You're insane" He answered, with teeth clenched, eyebrows raised , nodding his head to her.
"Really?" She asked, never losing eye contact with him. Now she was glaring at him and his tactic was working. Time, he was buying time. Time he thought.
"Yes really" he answered. "Your mental and need"------SLAP!
With all her strength, her hand came down as hard as she could swing it.
Horatio's head flew to the right and his face stung. He clenched his teeth down and waited for the next blow. He saw her hand go up and at that moment….
His cell phone rang.
He focused his eyes and looked to the night table where it was, with his gun, badge and cuffs. A moment later the phone stopped ringing. Horatio knew they would be calling back. Then the phone chirped, to let him know he had a message waiting.
She was watching him, his eyes, she knew he saw his gun, she saw the crease in his forehead that said he was thinking, concentrating. She knew what he was thinking the whole time. When he turned back to her she was leaning over, reaching for the object she put on the bed. He saw something silver, shining in her hand.
I have to move; he told himself and realized he was able to keep his head up longer now. She saw him looking over toward the nightstand again and laughed deeply. She antagonized him more, "No, no, no, silly. Now what are you thinking?
She held up her hand and showed him the needle "Be a good boy now,
ok lieutenant? This may hurt just a little bit" She said as she smiled to him.
Horatio knew he had to do something and his body was not in agreement with his mind at the moment. He tried to move again and he began to feel pins and needles in his arms and legs. That's it, he thought to himself, time he needed more time to recover. He figured he could gain some time if he could just talk to her.
So he took a deep breath, licked his lips and began.
"Claudia don't" He said.
