"Yes!" She gasped in disbelief.

"Get into your car and drive, no questions, oh and do not hang up this phone. Do not play stupid with me and try to contact the others. If you do, the good lieutenant is dead! Got it?"

"Yes."

She was walking to the hummer and the voice asked, "You still with me sunshine?"

"Yes I'm here." She said sharply. Her mind was reeling and she couldn't think straight now. Who the hell is this guy, she thought to herself.

"Good, just keep doing what I tell you." He said.

Calleigh used the remote and unlocked the doors. She got in the hummer closed the door and put the keys in the ignition, holding the phone to her ear the whole time.

Suddenly a hand came around and grabbed her head and a cloth quickly followed with the other hand. She dropped the phone and tried to grab at the hands. She knew that smell; she knew, it was already too late as she began to black out.

"Don't fight it; you want to see him right The voice said, menacingly.

She was completely caught off guard and as her eyes closed she couldn't stop wondering, how on earth she could be so stupid. Alexx came back to the lab a little while later and Eric joked with her about Calleigh.

"Is Calleigh drinking the whole pot of coffee?"

"No, she left plenty for you two boys." Alex answered, smiling.

"Is she ok Alex?"

"Yes, she's fine. Didn't she come back yet? She said she was just going to get a little fresh air is all. I'm gonna make sure she's ok, be right back." She told Eric and Ryan. They both just looked at one another and went right back to work.

At that moment AFIS got a hit…..

Eric was up in a snap and Ryan came over, Eric tapped the key and saw her.

"Claudia Sanders?"

He questioned the name; Ryan asked him who she was.

"Wait A minute, she's suppose to be in a mental institution, isn't she?"

"I don't remember her" Ryan said, thinking.

"You wouldn't." It was your first day on the job and you were working on clearing Calleigh's father, remember? It was me and H on that case and it turned out to be a real mess. Some guy was using this crazy woman to do all his dirty work, she was obsessed with him. She even killed for him and covered things up for him"……Eric stopped speaking and said, "We have to Call Frank and tell Calleigh."

Ryan went to find Calleigh and instead found Alex, she was in the parking lot now, "We have some new information and we know who the woman is now. Where's Calleigh?" He asked looking around.

"I don't know. I looked everywhere Ryan." Alex answered him, looking at Calleigh's hummer." They both stood there looking at each other now…..wondering.

Eric was on the phone to Frank updating him on what they found.

Calleigh was beginning to wake up; she was laying on her side with her hands tied in front of her to something. Her feet were bound and she had tape over her mouth and a blindfold over her eyes.

She was in a vehicle moving, she could tell that much. The vehicle stopped and a door slid open, a van maybe she thought to herself. She felt a hand grab hold of the rope and in an instant she was being dragged out.

The rope that bound her feet was cut and she was being pulled, she stumbled and fell and a hand grabbed her by her hair and yanked her up hard, back onto her feet. She cried out in pain but the tape held back the sound of the actual cry.

A door opened and she was being pulled again, then she was shoved down. She landed on something soft and tried to stay calm.

"Don't move!" A male voice said sternly "Or he will pay, do you understand me?"

Calleigh nodded her head yes to the voice. She didn't move, but she listened. The sound of another door opening and closing and voices, mumbling, she couldn't make them out. Then she heard a loud grunt and the door opened again, she was being pulled up and into the other room.

Now she was held in place, standing, everything was quiet, suddenly the blindfold was taken off and the tape ripped from her lips. She gasped in shock for a moment at the pain and then her eyes focused.

She tried to take a step forward but strong hands held her and said,

"Your mistakes will be his pain."

Calleigh just froze in place and did not struggle, her eyes stared wide in horror.

She saw Horatio. His mouth was taped and he was being held by the hair on his head. His eyes closed and his breathing ragged, he tried to shake Claudia's hold on him but she just held him tighter. She pulled harder and his eyes squeezed shut for a moment and then he focused…he saw Calleigh, he stopped moving and froze, his eyes locked onto hers.

"Good, very good lieutenant, so you are willing to cooperate." Claudia said laughing.

"Well, do you like your surprise? Oh silly me, the tape, I forgot." She ripped it off his lips, "There that's better now."

Now answer me lieutenant!" She said in a demanding voice.

Horatio licked his lips a couple of times and tried to speak but his throat was so dry and the words were mumbled broken.

"I…..yo…u let…t---." Horatio tried to clear his throat.

"I really can't understand a word you are saying lieutenant, you must be very dry, here let me help you." She picked up another bucket of ice water and quickly threw it at him.

This time, it was very unexpected and Horatio gasped and choked in shock, the water was freezing and he began shaking and shivering uncontrollably. He was soaked and his T shirt offered little warmth. It looked like it was glued to his body from the water. He wished he could get warm and slowly began to get the coughing and shaking under control.

"Did that quench your thirst?" Claudia asked, laughing with Jay now.

"Why are you doing this, please, stop." Calleigh said frustrated.

Claudia attention now focused on Calleigh and she smiled to her.

"He has to pay, just like he made us pay!"

With that, Jay pulled on Calleigh's ropes and then turned her around facing him and pushed her down into a chair. He took her hands now and put handcuffs on her and cut the ropes off. He attached a chain around her cuffs and walked to some steel piping near the wall.

"Look I am giving you some extra room, in-case you want to visit

him. Maybe you can warm him up!" Jay laughed to Calleigh now.

She was trying to rub her wrists, the rope had cut into her skin and it was burning now. She just stared at Jay in awe now, thinking to herself, wondering, how they were going to get out of this.

"You know, Calleigh---Why not tell him a story...Umm… maybe one about how you followed him to the beach the other day. I am sure that would help get his mind off the pain right now." Jay laughed.

Calleigh's eyes popped open wide and her mouth remained opened, looking at Jay in shock. "Go ahead, tell him!" Jay ordered.

"What are you talking about?"

Jay walked right up to Calleigh and yanked her head back with a handful of her golden hair. Calleigh cried out. He pulled hard on her hair and brought his face down close to hers now and said,

"Don't you lie to me Bitch!" pulling harder now.

Calleigh cried out in pain again, louder now. "Ahhhhhh"

"Get you hands off her!" Horatio growled hoarsely at Jay. His head popped up. He looked Jay in the eyes now and said, with conviction in his voice. "If you hurt her, I'll kill you."

Jay let go of Calleigh's hair. He started laughing and now, walked over to Horatio.

"So, you're going to kill me?... Really?... I would like to see that, wouldn't you Claudia?

She pulled on Horatio's T-shirt, lifting it and almost ripping it off him.

Jay picked up the baton and shoved it into Horatio's chest saying,

"Maybe this will help you to focus better, because you're really not thinking clearly lieutenant!"

"ARGGGGGGG," Horatio yelled and was clenching his jaw as hard as he

could. His head slammed back against the bed and his body was thrashing, trying to break the contact. Jay just shoved the baton harder into His chest.

"This will teach you to keep your big mouth shut!" He let go of the trigger but held the baton still to Horatio's chest.

"You-getting my message, lieutenant?" Jay asked.

Horatio's breathing was ragged again but he managed this time to get a few words out.

"You're… a…..co..ward…yo.u..s... ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG "

Jay pulled the trigger again and held it much longer this time. He brought his

face down close to Horatio and said, "You were saying something? I didn't quite catch the ending there, lieutenant."

Jay let go of the trigger again and pulled the baton off of Horatio now. Horatio just laid there exhausted now, his breathing was ragged and his eyes were closed, he moaned in pain and swallowed hard.

"That looked…like it hurt, did it hurt lieutenant? Claudia asked.

"Stop it, please….Ok, ok, I was there!….I was at the beach! Just stop, please!" Calleigh begged.

Jay stopped, he looked over to Calleigh, "Tell him, tell him everything. "You lie once and I'll make him suffer, he'll be begging me to kill him."

"Ok, ok. I saw him getting….."

"Wait! Hey Lieutenant, you up, you hearing this? He shoved his hand into Horatio's chest and pushed down, shaking him.

"Grrrr" Horatio groaned in pain. "You listening… HEY" Jay yelled. "Don't make me hurt her!"

"SLAP!"... Claudia walked over and slapped Horatio hard in the face. Jay laughed.

Horatio's eyes shot opened and he focused on Jay now, he nodded his head yes to him.

"Good, ok. Start talking sunshine Jay told Calleigh.

Horatio's eyes tighten on Jay.

Calleigh began again and Jay's phone rang.

"Quiet!" he yelled at her and Claudia walked on over to where Calleigh was seated and stood close to her.

Jay answered his phone...

"Hello, hey, yeah. You were right on the money; it couldn't have worked out better. No, no. Actually he is cooperating very nicely Now, now that we have… her. No, no. You were right for sure, thanks for the weapons and the tips. He definitely is a handful, just like you said he would be. Feisty and determined, he doesn't know when to quit man. Yeah, I got rid of her phone just like you said, don't want them using GPS on us, now do we?"

There was quiet for a moment as the voice talking came through the phone, then Jay started laughing. "Oh man you are too funny, I don't think he'd like that much at all. No, no, he has no clue; don't worry, not a word here. Hey listen, we couldn't have pulled this off without your help, I owe you big time. Yeah, yes. Done! You got my word; I'll make sure I give him your regards."

Jay started laughing again and this time laughter could be heard coming from the phone. "Ok,… with the baton? I did that already, any other ideas?" Jay asked laughing some more. "Claudia's fine, thanks for asking. Any problems just let us know, and like I said, don't worry; I plan on finishing the job, for you and me!" Jay hung up smiling at Claudia now.

"This is working like a charm." He said.

Calleigh's mouth was agape, she heard the whole conversation. Who was that on the phone talking with Jay? She didn't want to believe it but she thought it had to be someone from CSI or a cop. Where would he get the weapons from, has to be a cop she thought again or agent. This is how they managed their scheme; they had help from someone, someone who knew them.

Horatio heard it also, he listened but couldn't guess at the moment who would do this. He had enemy's, the list could be pages long, he thought. He knew as always, that the evidence would speak for itself. He opened his eyes and took a deep breath. Jay walked over to him.

"So how ya feeling now? Now that you know we had help…

"INSIDE HELP!" Jay sneered at him.
