I do not own the characters of CSI expect the restaurant employee, and Michaela Caine.
A beautiful afternoon, at a restaurant in Miami's downtown centre. Horatio takes time away from the lab to meet his daughter for lunch... while waiting for his order and sharing a moment with his daughter...shots ring out...This time around without warning Horatio isn't prepared for what will happen. There is a green light on Horatio and their using the one thing closest to him to have him where they want him, with a twist.
"What happened here Horatio" Calliegh asked as she approached them with a smile on her face.
"There was a shooting Calliegh" he spoke smoothly placing his sunglasses on.
"Where do you need me?" she waited for instructions, glancing around at the scene.
"I need you to do something very special for me today Calliegh"
"Yeah, what's that Horatio?"
"I need you to take my daughter back to the department, before the media gets here" he asked being concerned.
"Sure Horatio I can do that" she agreed "would you like me to come back? Help process the scene?"
"How about, you stay with her until I get back, there are a few things I need to do first" he explained as he shifted in his stance.
"But dad, i'm fine on my own" Michaela turned to face Horatio unhappy with his decision.
"When it comes down to something like this, your not, we have to be careful" he tried reassuring her it was the right decision.
Placing his arm around her, giving his daughter a gentle hug. "I'll come and get you when things get figured out... It will be okay"
"Come on Michaela" Calliegh lead her to the hummer.
They both climbed in. "seat belt" Calliegh pointed out starting up the vehicle
They started their way towards the department.
"Guess dad wants me to go on a road trip today" she said laughing at herself.
"Yeah" Calliegh started to laugh "when he asks me to do something I don't ask questions" she explained to her.
"Especially when it comes to you, it's a whole different game" she said as they came to a red light.
"What do you mean?" Michaela asked even though she knew what Calliegh was getting at.
"He just doesn't want people to catch wind that you're his daughter, he's concerned that there could be people out there that will come back and try to get you, so they can get revenge on him"
"I kind of figured that one out a while ago" Michaela responded watching the cars passing by them as they turned the street.
"Then you wouldn't mind me taking you two ladies out for a road trip" a deep voice came from the back seat. The man in a dark sweater and black mask pushed himself between Michaela and Calliegh and held a gun to their heads.
"Drive" he demanded pressing the gun harder to Calliegh temple.
As Calliegh drove in silence her cell phone continued to ring. "Horatio" appeared flashing on the screen.
Horatio wondered why Calliegh wasn't answering made him wonder. He tried dialing her number again, it just continued to ring.
"It's my boss I have to answer it" Calliegh told as she tried to reach for the cell.
"Don't touch it, I swear bitch, you touch it you are going to get hurt." The man threatened
Meanwhile…
"Eric" Horatio called out.
"Yeah H. what's up" Eric asked curiously as he approached him.
"I sent Calliegh back to the department with my daughter, now she's not answering her cell phone, i'm getting concerned."
Eric nodded at his boss "come on H, I can trace her vehicle and see if she's in distress"
