The Miami Dade Police Department security heightened when a seemingly young male stepped into the building,his hands stuffed in his pockets.

Frank was going around doing Horatio's job when their guest arrived. His eyes locked with the eternally young figure,and he knew right then and there that this man was the cause of Horatio's pain.

''May I help you?''Frank gritted through his teeth.

''Yes...I was wondering where the Lt. might be...You see,I'm an acquaintance of his and I have not seen him lately.''

''I think you already know...Envy.''

The vampire's eyes widened as a sudden feeling of betrayal struck his blackened heart.

''You'll say nothing. Is that clear?''

Horatio nodded with a whimper,his left arm broken,tears streaming down his face from the pain as his body was restrained to the rack.

His tears stung his cheek,which had been torn open by Envy's long nails.

''I can't hear you.'' He turned the crank some more and a pop bounced off the walls,followed by a loud groan. He'd just cracked the already injured arm's shoulder a bit.

''You'll keep your mouth shut,right?''

''...y-yes...'' Envy's expression softened. ''Good.''

He finished turning the crank and this time a very audible crack echoed followed by a scream of white hot pain.

Horatio's left shoulder was officially dislocated.

Envy's eyes flashed blue. He was hungry again.

''What's wrong...Did I hit the nail on the head?'' Envy jerked when he felt a pair of handcuffs being slapped onto his wrists. He turned his head and glared at the Cuban responsible for his restrained hands.

''Hold it!'' Frank and Eric turned towards the new voice. Stetler.

''What do you want,Rick?''Frank growled.

''You don't have any evidence on him. You can't just-''

Ryan came by and shoved a folder into Rick's hands.

Envy tried to pull his hands free of Eric's grip,but he didn't get very far. His lack of strength was due to not feeding for the last few days.

Eric hauled a kicking and swearing Envy off to the interrogation room just as Natalia appeared.

''You're gonna test his hands for blood,right?''she snarled. Frank backed up. This woman was pissed. ''Yes,why?'' ''Eric can do the testing,but I want to ask the questions.''

''Natalia,I'm not sure that's a good idea...''

''Y'all can't stop me,''she said as she stormed after Eric.

''Natalia,wait! You-'' ''-Frank,why don't you go and visit Horatio? I'm sure he could use some company from his team rather than just the nurses.''

The Texan sighed and walked off.

Horatio opened tired eyes when he heard footsteps and saw Frank entering his room.

''How are you feeling?''

''...Like shit...'' Frank stifled a chuckle. It wasn't like the man to swear.

''You haven't gotten any strength back,have you?''

''Some,but no much...Nowhere near enough to walk...Don't even have the strength to fight with the nurses.''

''Well,that explains why everything is so quiet around here,''Frank quipped.

''Don't push it.'' Frank smiled.

''Envy...decided to show up today at the department...Natalia's questioning him.''

''Does she honestly care about me that much?''

''Horatio,the whole team does.''

''No...I mean,''he paused as a sudden wave of drowsiness hit him,''I woke up to her singing...She doesn't normally do that...''

''Well...I...I don't know what to say about that,but-''

''-It's not like her.''

Frank sighed. ''Well,my only guess at that point is...she likes you.''

Horatio glared. ''I doubt that.'' ''I don't know. Make off with her phone sometime. You should see her collection of pictures. I've seen them. She'd make a good photographer.''

Horatio rolled his eyes. He didn't believe him at all.

Envy jumped in his seat and stared at Natalia with wide eyes when she slammed her hands down on the table.

''HOW DARE YOU!''she screamed. Her yelling alerted several people outside of the interrogation room.

''YOU ACTUALLY HAD THE NERVE TO SHOW UP HERE?!''

Envy gulped and nodded. His eardrums were suffering under her screams. Damn the woman could yell.

''And just what did you have have in mind when you showed up...another meal? No body in this lab has the blood type you're looking for,''she gritted through her teeth.

Envy dared a smile. ''Oh,come now,Miss Boa Vista. You've read Darwin. It's called Natural Selection.'' Natalia's eyes grew wide with rage.

Envy panicked. This wasn't going the way he had hoped. Suddenly both of her hands lashed out and grabbed his shirt collar. She pulled him up from the seat until their faces were centimeters apart.

''GUESS WHAT,PAL,THAT'S NOT THE WAY THINGS WORK AROUND HERE!''she yelled as she shook him violently.

Suddenly the phone in her pocket started ringing. She looked outside of the interrogation room and glared at the man calling her phone.

Natalia dropped Envy and whipped the door open. She snatched Rick's phone out of his hand,tossed it in the air,withdrew her sidearm and put a bullet in it. Rick stared at her in utter shock.

''I'm busy,''she gritted through her teeth.

''That was a new phone!''Rick whined.

''You're head of the S.O.C. Swat Team. Buy another one.''

''It's not that simple! You-''

''-Look at the bright side. At least I didn't shoot you.''

''You wouldn't dare.''

''Oh,no?''she aimed her 45. at his head.

Rick cleaned up the remains of his phone and ran off.

''Now...Where was I...Oh,yeah.'' She stomped back into the interrogation room and picked Envy up off the floor. Before she could return to questioning Envy Boa Vista style,Eric came in and held out a file. Natalia dropped the vampire again and took the folder.

''What's this?''she asked calmly. ''Hospital found blood on the inside of his work clothes...Um...specifically his work pants...So they ran a Sexual Assault kit,which came back positive.''

Natalia opened the folder and read the paper. The DNA matched Envy.

''Great.'' She dumped the folder on the table and turned to look down at Envy. She raised a single brow at him,waiting for a response.

''I was board,''was all he could come up with. There was a silence,and then she swung her leg,catching a squeal from the man below her.

Eric winced an almost felt sorry for him as he scrunched up in pain instantly,clutching his heritage.

''Get him out of here,''Natalia ordered. Eric hauled Envy to his feet and dragged him out to the police car outside,ready to take him to a solitary confinement cell until he starved to death.
