As she watched her cousin leave, Christina decided she would take a quick shower, maybe take a walk around the neighborhood and then watch some television. She picked out some clothes to wear for the day, grabbed a towel and headed for the bathroom.
After her shower, Christina toweled off and walked into the bedroom to get dressed. It was then that she heard a noise but dismissed it as pipes or something else in Calleigh's house that would make a strange sound. She put on her shorts but before she even had time to pull her head through her shirt she was violently thrown onto the bed.
Trying to figure out exactly what was happening she heard a male voice say, "You put my brother in jail, now it's your turn to get punished." Something hit her hard on her head making her see white. Her head throbbed as her attacker hit her repeatedly.
"Looks like Calleigh's not so tough after all, little miss priss can't do much without her crime-fighting kit, huh?" The man jumped on top of Christina as she scratched him and tried to pull him off of her.
A tearful and terrified Christina managed to say, "I...I'm not Calleigh, I'm her cousin! Please leave me alone!"
"Yeah right, I've never heard of identical cousins, now shut-up!" the intruder said, as he tightened his grip.
Kicking her feet as hard as she possibly could, Christina finally saw the person who thought she was Calleigh and kicked him hard where she knew it would get him off of her and knock him down. She was able to free herself and ran down the stairs, tripping on the last step and falling hands first on the floor. Searing pain pierced her left wrist making her scream. Knowing her cell phone was on the table near the door, she picked herself up, grabbed her phone and ran out of the house, barely seeing out of her eye that the intruder had hit.
Out of breath and in pain, Christina saw a place where she could hide across the street. There were huge bushes in a neighbors yard that would offer a way to hide if the person who attacked her came to find her. She dialed 911 and was able to tell the dispatcher her name and Calleigh's address before passing out in pain from her injuries.
At the Miami-Dade Crime Lab, Calleigh was analyzing the striations on two bullets she'd recovered from a robbery when Horatio knocked on the glass door and walked in. His face looking very serious, Calleigh froze, never thinking that her cousin could be in any type of danger.
"Calleigh" Horatio started, "There's been an incident, the address from dispatch is yours. Ryan and Natalia are on their way over to check it out right now."
"Oh my god, Christina!" Calleigh whispered.
Calleigh had mentioned to Horatio and Eric that morning that her cousin was visiting her for the next few days. Never in a million years did she think something like this would happen. She knew she wouldn't be able to work the case, but she could at least head to the hospital with Eric to see her cousin. Eric, seeing the worried and tearful expression on Calleigh's face, sped as fast as he could in his Hummer to the hospital where Christina had been admitted.
