ForevermoreNevermore- Thank you, thank you… again :)
Tbsavafob- The idea about how the two killers work is a very good one. And as for the username… you do a very good job of making people think. But if your parents can't get it I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. :) To me it looks like a bunch of jumbled letters. Haha…
Calleigh Baby- You're going to have to keep reading to find out haha… but if that's what you think… thank you for the review :)
Girlie14- Ahh!!! Great ideas!!! I love how you get into it, it makes me very happy to know I'm doing my job :)
^^^Thanks to all of you- again!^^^
"Kyle, what is this about? Why do you have that?"
"Dad knew something about this, he told me to carry it, to be safe. I'm starting to think that maybe he knew something and it got him killed."
Julia took the gun off the table and put it in her purse. "I don't want you carrying this. And I'm going straight to Calleigh with it." She turned and headed off to find Calleigh who was easy to spot with her blonde hair. "Um… I have something that you may want to take a look at."
She pulled the gun out of the purse and everyone at the table gave her a suspicious look. "Where'd you get this?" Calleigh asked.
"Kyle gave it to me. He said that Horatio gave it to him to 'stay safe'."
Calleigh looked at it and said, "It's a revolver and there are no bullets missing. From what I can tell it hasn't been fired recently. I'm going to have you keep this, in case someone comes after you and Kyle." Julia nodded and headed back to the table. "We need to keep an eye on those two."
"You don't think Kyle had something to do with this do you?" Natalia asked, "I mean he's Horatio's son."
Calleigh shrugged, "You can never take too many precautions right?"
"Calleigh, what are we going to do about food?" Ryan asked.
"There's a killer on the loose and you're thinking about food?"
"Pretty soon people will start turning on each other because they're all cranky and hungry."
"You know, I saw some plants over by the dock that had berries on them." Natalia said.
"We've got all the wedding food." Calleigh added. Eric cringed at how casually she said wedding. It was almost as if she forgot it was supposed to happen.
"Natalia, you said you found bushes with berries?" Natalia nodded. "Then we send people out in groups to get as many as they can, they'll be our lifeline if we run out of the wedding food." Ryan said.
"But who do we send out?"
"Volunteers?" Eric suggested.
The group nodded as Calleigh went to the platform. She cleared her throat and began speaking when the crowd got quiet, "We have to think about the food situation. I'm sure you're gonna get hungry really soon. Natalia said there were bushes with berries by the dock. We were hoping to have some people go out in groups to collect them and bring them back."
Eric then stepped up and began to talk. "Women and children are staying here."
"Eric!" Calleigh screamed.
"No you're staying here. I am not letting you go out there. Are you guys coming?" He said to all of the men in the room. After a chorus of yeahs he said, "Alright then it's settled. Bring your guns to the door and we'll be off."
"Look, Stell, in case this goes bad for me, you will be head of the lab back in New York."
"Mac-"
"No don't even say anything, Stell."
She wrapped her arms around him, giving him the tightest hug she has ever given anyone. She then pulled back and kissed him on the cheek, "I'll see you when you get back."
Mac was scared. He hoped he wasn't showing it through, for Stella's sake. He wanted her to go back and tell his team that he didn't go down without a fight.
He left the table and headed to the door. "We'll go in this group over there, but once we get to the bush we'll split up." Ryan said. The men said their goodbyes and left. "Delko, you realize this could turn into one big slaughter-fest, right."
"So far we've seen that the killer is smarter than that, we all have guns."
Ryan shrugged. "The women aren't any safer back there."
"Why do you say that?"
"There are two killers. One is a woman, and the one that took Calleigh is a man."
"I didn't even think about that."
"Everyone is in danger, no matter how you look at it."
"And there are no ways to communicate back to the mainland." Eric added. "No one expects us back for another week."
"Are you saying we're stuck here for a whole week?"
"By the looks of it, yeah."
Ryan ran a hand through his hair, looked distressed. "We're all going to die, man."
"No, no don't say that." He paused "Look how many of us there are, then think of how many killers, it won't even be hard to survive."
"I hope you're right."
"Calleigh, you've been really quiet." Natalia said. "Is something wrong, other than the obvious."
"You have to promise me that won't say anything. Can you do that?" Natalia nodded. "I'm pregnant, and I don't know who the father is."
"What? How do you not know-?"
"A couple of weeks ago," She cut her off "I went to talk to Jake, to tell him I was getting married, and it just happened."
"So this child is either Jake's or Eric's, is that what you're telling me?"
Calleigh nodded, "I don't know what to do."
"I'd start by telling Eric the truth. There's a chance you aren't going to make it off this island alive. Wouldn't you rather have him know?"
"He's going to hate me, there's no way around that."
"Take your chances, maybe he'll forgive you."
"Alright here's the bush." Eric said.
"It's more like a forest." Ryan said. He was right too. In front of the group of men there were berry bushes going on for what looked like miles in front of them. "How are we going to do this?"
"Divide and conquer. Ryan I'm paired with you, everyone else grab a partner and take a bush." The men separated into groups.
Mac and Jim went together and that left Kyle and Stetler. "Just my luck, I get little Horatio." Stetler said.
"And I get the one who killed big Horatio."
"I had nothing to do with that, kid. Watch your mouth." After that they walked in silence to a far away bush to pick berries.
"Delko, this is gonna take all freaking night." Ryan said.
"Would you rather take a night to pick berries or go a week and not eat anything?"
"Point taken." Suddenly the sound of a gunshot filled the air and both men unclipped their guns from the holster and went towards the noise with caution.
As they approached where the noise came from they saw the silhouette of a body lying on the ground in the darkness. It was Stetler. He had two gunshot wounds to his abdomen, and was holding on by a thread.
"Who did this to you, Rick?" Eric asked. He lips moved but no words came, just a breath of air, which proved to be his last.
Suddenly Kyle came up behind them covered in blood and shaking. "I tried so hard to save him but I couldn't!" He screamed.
Finally Stetler is GONE!!! But Calleigh's big shocker is going to make some people a little angry, I think. :/
