"Well you do remember me after all."

"Do you remember Jay, as well? Lieutenant, hmm?

She pressed one Hand hard into his chest to balance herself and hold him down. The other hand was holding the needle.

"Yes" he answered her. Keep her talking he thought, "Jay Seaver is in jail Claudia."

"Yes he was" she answered, smiling a big bright smile to him.

"Was?" Horatio questioned.

"Yes, was, - like I said lieutenant, of course, he is not anymore. Oh and by the way, you will be meeting him shortly" she said.

Clearing his throat, Horatio said, in a sarcastic voice,

"I think your 20 years early there, Claudia. Jay is not getting out of jail, I saw to that case myself and---"

"Yes, yes you did, didn't you? And for that, you will pay! You ruined his life, my life, our lives, we could have had together."

With that statement the needle came down towards its target. Horatio tried not to panic but all he could think was, move. He tried to roll to the side and that caught her off guard. He caused Her to go off balance. She quickly regained her balance and gave him a grin and sang to him, in a sing song voice

"someone.. is..Feeling.. Better.." she smiled at him... but this time,----

Horatio could move, his arms caught hers and he held on, she gave him a wide eyed stare, she was shocked, he could even move at all. Horatio had her wrists and would not let go, she pushed down hard And he fought gravity, he started to lose the battle, his body was still very weak. Then he rocked to one side again and made her lose Her balance, she tried to regain her balance on him and he knocked the needle out of her hand. She tried to grab his head with her hand But he moved more onto his side now.

He shoved her off and she fell backwards off of the bed, he was trying to lift himself up now but his arms would not support his weight. He kept trying to get up and kept crashing back down.

She was furious now and getting off the floor she said

"That was not very nice, I told you to relax, didn't I?"

She went over to the duffel bag and began speaking to him again.

"Now you have forced me to use this on you"

Horatio turned his head and saw the bottle, it was chloroform.

"I gave you enough to knock out a horse, how did you do that?" She said to him while dampening the cloth.

He started to struggle Again, trying to move and lift himself up, he was almost on his side now. Suddenly she jumped on him and caught him off guard, she pushed him down with her bodyweight onto his stomach now and straddled his back, he picked his head up to try and turn but this Time she was ready for him.

She wrapped one arm around his neck and held on tight. He turned his head, trying to break the hold she had but could not. He felt himself getting weaker, she was cutting off his oxygen and he was unable to breath. His face started to feel hot and turn red from Her choke hold. His struggling and lack of oxygen was draining his body of what little energy he had found. His energy was almost gone now but he just kept struggling, he would not give in.

She knew he was weak and could not keep this up much longer. She had Horatio in a headlock now with one arm and he tried to grab her. She tightened the choke hold more and she felt him getting weak. Finally she squeezed as hard as she could now with both arms wrapped around his neck and his head began to drop down. She took The cloth quickly in one hand and pressed it to his face, still holding him from behind in the headlock. He made one last grab for her arm and caught it, he pulled as hard as he could but it was too late. His arm fell to the bed and he collapsed, his eyes began to Close, his body and head stopped thrashing, he felt himself fading again and finally he blacked out.

Claudia rolled off of Horatio and laid there to catch her breath.

She was exhilarated, excited and tired from the struggle, she Smiled,

"Ahhh that was fun. Now we'll see who's insane" she said Out loud. Laughing deeply.

She got off the bed and picked up Horatio's handcuffs, "These shall do nicely" she said to his exhausted body.

She took Horatio's hands and cuffed them tightly behind his back; She then rolled him onto his back. She bend over his body and broke an ammonia stick and move it right under his nose.She watched as he started to become conscience again, his eyes were glazed and he was trying to clear his head, opening and closing his Eyes. He turned his head away quickly from the horrible smell and the nausea hit him like a rock. He closed his eyes, trying to fight back the nausea. Instead he tried to focus on his breathing.

She climbed on top of him again and straddled his waist. She leaned down over his face and traced a finger over his forehead, playing With the strands of hair there.

"Time to wake up sleepy head" She smiled to him.

"Hmm" He moaned and then she slapped him hard. "Wake up!" Slap, "wake up" Slap, "wake up!" She yelled.

Horatio Caine was up!
