Sorry for bringing the new chapter this late, but I was busy with school and with Christmas. Thank you for reading~! (Oh, and ofc Happy New Year everyone!)

As the encroaching night covered Miami with its light blue velvet, pale stars showed up at the horizon. The descending sun's last beams said a quiet goodbye to the fading day to yield their place to the silver sparkling Moon.

Kady were just standing there and were watching the orange-purple tinted, silky clouds decorated sky, and were enjoying as the breeze was caressing her face with a warm and soft touch.

She was waiting for Speed right before the lab's building, she leaned against his motorbike. They were about to go home but the other one left his purse in the locker room; he had to go back for it. Kady wanted to stay out, just being amazed by the beautiful colors of the horizon. She could feel as the air was streaming into her lungs, as her blood refreshed and she was relaxed. She wasn't thought about anything, although she was starving. She survived her first day even it wasn't that easy, it has finally ended…

A car was parking nearby with two cops, now one of them got out and waved to Kady; she answered with a soft smile. The guy was tall and really handsome; dark hair slicked back, brown eyes, had stubble on his face. He was rather like a model type who could be imagined with a surf desk and a cocktail, than a cop with a gun and a nightstick. He crossed his legs and leaned against the car still watching the woman, tho' she didn't want to notice that. In the next minute Speed finally arrived. Another cop showed up after him; he leaded Quinn towards the car (so Mr. Handsome had to turn his attention away from Kady), he were cuffed. As his gaze met Kady's he started to smirk.

Speed stepped next to Kady and they quickly got on the bike and slowly wheeled down to the road. Kady put an arm around Speed's waist.

All of sudden a car rushed across the street right before them; Speed had to steer the bike to another way quickly to avoid the crash. Kady almost felt down, she fortunately was holding Speed hard and was able to stay on the vehicle. Loud shouting hit their ears as they got off; Kady pulled out her gun and run towards Mr. Handsome. Someone fired a round and he was shot on his leg; he was on his hunkers.

"You okay?" She asked as she wanted to help him to stand up.

"I think…" He made a deep, painful groan but got up.

Hell broke loose in a second. Gunfire's voice, shouting, and car's churning blended together, cops were coming out from the building. Quinn's guard were lying on the ground; he got a shot right into his head. Had no chance to survive although he was still alive… Only for a few more seconds.

Kady jumped behind the car (she grabbed Mr. Handsome's arm as well), tried to figure out what's happening. As she couldn't see the attackers well she couldn't shoot, she was afraid she will hit someone else than the target. The chaos was huge, Kady couldn't find Speed anywhere.

A woman's scream broke into the unrecognizable voices; Kady jumped up to see what's happening. An officer were drawn away from its car; Kady hesitated at nothing but pulled the trigger right that moment when she saw the criminal's shape clearly. He dropped down dead loosing his gun as well, and Kady stepped there to grab the woman's hand to help her. Cops were running across the street, Kady didn't even know where to go – she was afraid a lost bullet will hit them.

"Come with me!" She shouted to the officer and let her to lean against her body. They got back behind the car safely; the woman sat down to the ground, pulled up her legs and lowered her head to the knees.

"What the hell's happening?" Fat teardrops were flowing down on her face.

"I don't know…" Kady turned towards Mr. Handsome. He lost too much blood, seemed woozy, was about to faint. The brown eyes were foggy, he sure didn't sense the world around him.

"Stay with me, okay?"

A short moment of panic rushed over Kady's soul as she saw the other's injury, but had to defeat it. "Okay… okay…" She sighed. With quick moves she took off her shirt (there was a top under that). "It sure will hurt, I'm sorry!" She bit her lower lips, took a deep breath and grabbed Mr. Handsome's calf. Wrapped the shirt around the bloody member and bounded it tightly. The man groaned again, he clenched his fists.

"This will do for a while." Kady grabbed her gun, then give a severe glance to the woman. "Stay here!"

She got out from the entrenchment to help the others. The first thing what caught her eyes was Quinn's running shape. She intuitively pursued him – she almost got shot after a few steps, so she had to hide behind another police car. As not letting Quinn to get away she rounded the parking vehicles there, and could appear next to him. The man was taken aback when he almost bumped into the CSI, but was watchful enough to range the gun at her. Kady expected this, that's why she was faster; it was her who pulled the trigger first. Quinn collapsed; the bullet hit his left shoulder – nearby his heart. Kady perched next to him to kick out the weapon from his hand and to check his pulse – it barely could feel but he was still alive.

The car what almost ran over Kady and Speed at the beginning at this chaos (the well known white pick-up) was on the road; the driver churned the motor. As

Kady fastened her eyes on it she shocked for a second: Quinn was sitting at the back watching them without a wink.

"I'll kill you, bitch! I'll kill you!" His voice was as angry as it could be, he almost jumped out from the car – another man had to grab his shoulder to keep him in there.

"Let it rip!" The other shouted still holding the enraged person, then they drove away. Police cars got into their trace, and as they left the place everything became painfully quiet.

Two other cars had been left there; Quinn's army arrived with them. Some of his men were lying on the ground moveless, some of them were cuffed, and some got away.

"No, no, no!" Kady shouted to the guy who she shot down. "You cannot die, you hear me?" She grabbed his shirt to shake him. She realized too late that he was Quinn's twin brother. "I fuckin' screwed up…"

The man tried to say something, but nothing came from his throat but blood. As his body slacked Kady pounded him hard.

A paramedic car arrived, its loud steam siren broke the stiffened silence into pieces. Kady felt dizzy; the happenings of the last minutes made her sick. She couldn't look at the two dead cops' body, she was mad at herself as well.

"Kady!" Eric came towards her gasping. "You okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine… and you? Did anyone injured?"

"Yes, ah… Speed is shot, but don't worry, it's not that serious."

"Where is he?"

"Sitting on the stairs."

"Okay, thanks." Kady was about to go to the front door of the building when she suddenly turned back. "Oh, hey. There's a guy behind the car, he also injured, and he is in a very bad shape."

"Ok, I'll call the ambulance here."

The woman didn't wait for the answer, it took only a few seconds to reach her friend. Speed seemed frustrated and troubled, his arms were just lying in his lap. Blood covered the dark shirt but it didn't really bother him.

"Are you alright?" Kady perched next to him checking his injury. "Eric said you were shot."

"I'm okay, it's really nothing. The bullet just grazed me."

"Although it's really deep and the scar on your head is bleeding badly. C'mon, the ambulance is here."

She helped him to stand up and put an arm around his hip to hold him strong; Speed was like a ragdoll which could collapse in any time. Kady could support him up the ambulance car, where the doctor took over him; her worried expression stiffened when she heard Speed's painful moan. In the next ambulance a familiar guy were sitting; Mr. Handsome's eyes were closed, he shifted uncomfortably as the doctor ran an IV.

Kady was waiting there without a word – she didn't want to leave Speed there – but when she saw Horatio's coming she stepped next to him.

"What the hell happened here?" Kady looked around again; Mr. Handsome and Speed weren't the only injured ones.

"Quinn is more dangerous than we thought."

"He had a real army!"

"What matters right now is that you're all okay." He shifted his attention to Speed. "What's with him?"

"His shoulder injury is quite easy but he hit his head badly. He may have concussion. But… but he'll be all right." Horatio could feel her concern through her words.

"He just needs some rest."

"I hope so… But… Now we have to find Quinn a.s.a.p. He could escape quite easy. I don't want to imagine what more he's capable of."

"To be honest I wouldn't think that this would ever happen. I underrated him."

"We all did." Kady looked up to Horatio, they eyes met for a sec. "And I killed his brother, he's truly mad at me right now."

"He died?"

"Uhum…" Kady felt guilty and dirty, she shivered as recalled the scene.

"Did he say something? I mean Quinn." Horatio frowned.

"Ah, just something about killing me, yeah, just usual."

"Okay. I tell you what we're going to do. I call Frank and I send guards to your house. You weren't his favorite even before this, now you're a real target."

"You think he'll come after me?"

"I'm sure and I want to protect all of my people. He sure didn't give the cold shoulder. Just please do as I say, okay?"

"Do I have another choice?"

"Of course you don't."

"Then why are you askin'…?" She turned and walked back to Speed.

..ooOOoo..

Kady couldn't sleep that night. She felt like even the stars are watching no one else but her, as she looked out through the window she could see the cops around the house. It was about 10:00 pm, but nobody has attacked her yet.

Speed was asleep – he was given a lot of painkillers he couldn't stay awake. Kady was sitting next to him watching him quietly and just wondering if he's dreaming about something. A memory crossed her mind; she remembered clearly the moment when they first met. They were so young, and had no idea that their relationship will last this long. She was thankful to him for being there for her all the time and felt huge remorse for keeping secrets from him.

A loud voice hit Kady's ear, she rapidly got up and grabbed her gun. She made a deep sigh when she realized it was only a cat outside under the window, but needed a minute to calm down and to settle her breath. She was way to nervous about this whole thing, she couldn't rest even for a minute. Tried to figure out why it was happening with her, why she steps into the middle of the trouble all the time! She felt asleep around 4 o'clock at dawn.

Days had passed by slowly but Kady was still afraid that someone will jump out from a bush as she's walking by and will run away with her – although no one tried to attack her all week long. And yes, it was a really good point for her.

"Maybe I am not a total disaster." She told to Alexx as they were at the morgue.

"And you still don't know anything about Quinn?" She asked leaning against the wall.

"No, we don't. He's brother died in the gunfire, so he could tell us no informations. Anyway I think he would rather die than speak. Quinn had a whole army to rescue him, and they sure hiding him right now. Till he's gone I can sleep at night. But Susan is jailed, so, we have a half-success."

"And that's a lot more than nothing!" Alexx smiled. "And how is Speed? I wanted to visit him yesterday but was too busy, I finished work late."

"He's coming back next week, he can't wait to get back to work. Sometimes his shoulder is in pain, he still takes pills."

"Good to hear he is better now. Give him a huge kiss in my name."

"Of course." Kady grabbed Alexx's report she came for about half an hour ago, when the door opened and Horatio stepped in.

"Hello, my ladies."

"Hello, mister." Kady gave him a wide smile, but avoided his gaze.

"Alexx, have you got anything for me?" He asked still not looking at the ME but the other.

"I gave everything to Kad, ask her. Oh, and please let me catch my breath sometimes, okay? I'm not a robot, can't work as fast as you think. You should jail more criminals and make my work easier."

"I'll take as an order, Alexx!" Horatio smiled softly.

Alexx dropped her gloves to the counter and headed towards the door. "And I would really like some day off, so please ask the victims to die next week." She was laughing when the door closed behind her.

Horatio threw an asking glance at Kady, but she just shrugged. "Maybe she eats too much chocolate?"

The Lieutenant embraced the reports with a glance, took them to the counter, and crossed his arms before his chest. "There is something I should talk you about."

"Why do I feel it's not good for me?"

"I don't know if it is or not. I don't really know what's going on, you know."

"What happened?" Kady frowned.

"I've spoken with Statler who said strange things to me. I know for sure you have a great explanation, the only question is: would you be honest with me?"

Kady looked into her superior's ocean-blue eyes, her stomach made a somersault. It wasn't even said out loud what is this all about, but Kady knew for sure what Statler has found. She could hear her own blood drumming in her ears.

"Depends on what you want to hear."

"Truth."

Kady sighed. "What has Statler told you?"

Horatio stepped closer to her, Kady could see his freckles on his face clearly. "I do have some things to settle but I finish in an hour. Wait for me in my office at 5 pm."

"I'll be there."

"Okay." Horatio nodded then left the room.

Kady was standing there for a minute, tried to get her thoughts together, but as it seemed to be an impossible task she gave up and went back to the lab. She was walking up the stairs when she could see Speed's walking on the hallway.

"Hey, you are here!" He said as Kady kissed him on the face. "I called you a million times but you didn't answer. You don't want to talk with me or you were just dancing to the ringtone?"

"I'd like to see that!" Eric passed by smirking. He quickly asked his friend about his health and rushed away – he was busy with work.

"So?" Speed switched his attention back to Kady.

"You know I'm working right now. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able watching movies all day long as you are."

"I got shot and had a concussion, and that is what you call lucky." His arm was still bounded.

"I'm sorry, didn't mean like that."

"We've got to go!"

Kady put an arm around Speed as they headed to the elevator.

"What was so important you called me a million times about?" She asked smiling.

"You won't be that happy if I tell you."

"C'mon, you give me the creeps if you're looking at me like this." Kady stopped.

"I arrived with Frank, where is H?"

"I don't know, but Speed! Out with it already!"

"Someone broke into the house during I've been away. I think it was Quinn, but not sure."

"What?"

"He left a message on the wall for you written with red paint. For the first glance I thought it was blood. He wrote, he's going to kill you and he finds you anywhere you hide. He hadn't given up on you."

Kady's body stiffened, a frightful expression crossed her features. "You're kidding, right?"

"You are not in safe, maybe I am not either, dunno. But you have to go to a safe house till he gets caught. Where is H?"

"Told you, I don't know. I've just talked with him, but he…"

"I'm here!" Horatio was approaching them, his eyes were serious and shadowed with concern. "I've met Frank, he told me what happened."

"It was truly frightening. I have no idea what would have happened if I were there." Speed shifted uneasily.

"It seems luck is on our side."

Kady looked at Speed and lifted up her eyebrows. "Told you." She whispered.

Horatio made a quick call then turned back to the others. "I'm sure Quinn's target is Kady. That he broke into Speed's house means he knows you're staying there."

"He may have been following me." Said Kady. "He may knows everything about us."

"I'll bring you to a safe house now. You'll be there until I say anything else."

"And Speed?"

"Okay. Quinn knows you live together and sure knows about how close you are to each other. If we take Speed to the same place, Quinn will know you are with him as well. You two have to be separated for a while. No phone calls, nothing. Kady needs to be hided." Horatio explained with a low voice. He was thrumming on his badge with his fingers.

"And you are expecting Quinn to go to that place where he thinks we are staying and you can catch him."

"Exactly."

"So I am the bait." Speed sighed.

"I'd like to ask you to be."

"You promise Kady will be safe?"

Horatio threw a long glance at the woman – actually a lot longer than he should, then nodded. "I promise. I'll take care of her by myself, if that sets you at ease."

"I do it then."

"Let's go!"

..ooOOoo..

Twenty minutes later a car pulled up at a house, just off the beach. Kady hesitated for a while then followed her guard and got off, she was looking at the house. It was small, but way too perfect for the time being. Kady has never been at this part of the city, and was wondering if anyone followed them. Tony Williams, who brought her here, was told not to use any showy car – mainly not a police car, that's why he chose a silver SUV. Although Mr. Williams had his uniform, there was no secret where he came from. Fortunately no one has been on the streets while they went into the house, and after they crossed the threshold they weren't allowed to step out again.

The house was smaller from inside than it seemed; only a living room, a kitchen, a tiny bathroom and just one bedroom. In turn it was comfortable, light and clear, and whoever furnished it made a quite good job.

"What's next?" Kady flung down to the couch, the other was looking at her like it would be the first time he has seen a human being. "We're gonna stare each other all day long?"

"Lt. Caine ordered me no to leave this house and not to make calls, so please turn off your phone right now. And of course there's no internet connection as well. Other guards are outside around this area and a few hours later I will be changed. And please stay away from windows. We have to wait, that's all."

"It's like a jail…"

"It's all for your safety, Ms. Weston."

"I know, but that would be better if I could do something."

"You can. Staying here is a huge help to the others."

"Oh, well thank you, feeling better now." Kady closed her eyes. "Do you know anything about Lt. Caine's plan?"

"I'm sorry, not allowed to say anything else."

"What?"

Tony Williams stepped next to the window, gazing the street, his breath made cotton-candy-like spots on the glass.

"Your nose's mark will be remained there forever if you're stuck there this hard." Kady's voice sounded ironic. "You are new, right?"

There was no response.

Only two hours have passed by, but the CSI felt it like it was a million, she was just walking in the house in circles. She tried to watch television, listening to the radio – she hoped she could busy herself, but deep in her mind she expected the opposite. It made her mad that no one called her or visited her, and she knew nothing. When she shared it with Tony Williams he just shrugged and told her to be patient.

"Easy to say…" She mumbled. With a deep and exaggerated sigh she sat down back to the coach, when she could hear a car's getting closer and closer. As it was a quite calm and dead street, it caught their attention; Williams slowly closed his fingers on the gun's grip.

"What is it?" The woman asked curiously.

"Ssh!" The other seemed nervous so Kady stepped next to him in spite of he tried to keep her away from the window with one arm. The car parked next to the house, behind a huge bush. Door slamming could be heard, they were waiting with bated breath what's going to happen. In the end Williams' body got relaxed and Kady sighed again as Horatio's red head appeared in front of them.

"Take it easy, man!" Kady said, then slapped on Williams' back.

When H stepped into the house he got off his glasses and sat down to the couch.

"Is everything all right?" Kady sat next to him crossing her legs.

"Nothing has happened. We are waiting for Quinn but he hasn't showed up yet."

"What if he won't?"

"He will, I'm sure."

"Uhm…"

"And as I promised to Speed I'm here to take care of you. Mr. Williams?"

"Yes, sir?" Williams stood at attention, he was pretty near to knock his heels together and to salute as a warrior would do, and it made Kady smile.

"You join to the guarding team outside, I'm staying here."

"Understood, sir!" He nodded and left the house.

"Sir, yes sir!" Kady imitated Williams' tone grinning and saluted to Horatio, who also smiled softly. "So, I am still jailed here."

"You're not a calm person, aren't you?"

"Patience and I have never been friends."

"Yeah, I could figure out during the last days."

"I just feel like I would be Miss 13th Friday in person."

Horatio took his glasses to the table looking around the room. "Maybe you are. But who says that's a bad thing? A lot of people like 13th Friday."

"And a lot more is afraid of it…" Kady leaned back and sank against the soft leather pillow.

"Speed really worries about you, know that?" Horatio gave her a leer, which made Kady swallow hard against her tongue. She quickly turned her attention to other way; she was staring at an empty vase on the shelf like it was such an interesting object.

"He always does. I mean… He makes a mountain out of a molehill every time."

"This case doesn't seem a molehill to me."

"What I'm trying to say is Speed…"

"He takes care of you." Horatio took up short. "And I feel it bothers you in some way…"

A brief moment of silence passed by, Kady was hesitating about what to say. Finally she sighed, still avoided the other's glance.

"Yes, he takes care of me." She nodded. "He really does, and I cannot be thankful enough for him. But it makes everything more difficult. I keep secrets from him and I feel guilty. He always so good to me and I'm nothing else but a traitor…" As Kady finished she closed her eyes. She hasn't ever told it to anyone and now it broke out from her. Words were created by itselves, Kady was only a tool for them to become alive, although it made her soul a bit easier.

Horatio crossed his fingers and finally turned his glance away. "I can understand that feeling." He said with a low voice. "Sometimes it's easier not speaking about bad things with who we love but… for the far future it's better not to keep secrets."

"I just don't want to hurt him."

"Truth can be painful, but there are times we have no other choice." Horatio shifted uneasily. "I'm… I'm sorry." He said. "It's none of my business, I don't want to chip in anything. But as I am your superior I'd like to avoid any troubles in the team. And of course I do not want you two to be angry with each other as well."

Kady licked her lower lip, she felt uncomfortable. This conversation started to become personal, and she didn't want to open up herself to anyone. She got a sharp lesson once, and she decided not to make the similar mistakes again. She had to be watchful and aware of letting people too close.

"Don't worry about us, we're going to be okay." She smiled at Horatio. It was sad and false, but was still a smile. "This thing… it's really nothing. And of course I won't make troubles for you again, I promise you. I know that the beginning wasn't that great, but I'll do my best from now on!"

Kady stood up to go out to the kitchen to get some water – although she wasn't really thirsty, an abortive action to stop this conversation.

"Maybe it's not the best time to bring this up…" Horatio didn't let her to sneak away from him, he followed her even into the bathroom. "We are just the two of us, and I don't want anyone to hear what we need to talk about."

Kady washed her face with cold water, it felt refreshing. "I don't know what has that Statler guy told you, but…"

"But?" The man lifted up his eyebrows. "But, Ms. Weston?"

"But…" Kady sighed. "I don't know what you want from me."

"Statler was unable to accept the fact that you're clear in the murder case, so he started his own investigation who you are, what you have done and stuff. And he has found an encrypted file with your name in."

"As you know I was a homicidal detective, I had million cases. It's not that strange even if that one is not public."

"Please, Ms. Weston. You know exactly what I'm talking about, and please take it serious because it is serious."

They went back to the living room and perched at the dining table; Kady opted for the far side of it, Horatio sat down in front of her.

"It's like an interrogation…" She mumbled.

"I don't want you to look at me as you do now. I have the team on my own hands, want to take care all of you, but If you are not honest I cannot do anything. Mac Taylor sure doesn't know about this file, otherwise he would have warned me. It means it doesn't obstruct you in work." Horatio crossed his fingers on the table, leaned to his arms. "Let's just talk like friends, okay? I'd like to help you, and I'm sure this is the secret you were talking about, that you keep even from Speed. I could brake into the system and read the reports, but I want to hear it from you."

The time was about half past six, the street was quiet, and no one was walking out there. Some cars passed by, but the only sound was Kady's low voice. She seemed frustrated, but was strong enough to look right into her superiors steely blue eyes.

"I was working in New Jersey three years ago. I thought it's a really good chance, and Speed also supported me to accept the job, so I made up my mind. I was new there, had to get the hang of it. You know what I mean."

As she was speaking Horatio stood up to give her a glass of orange juice a minute later. He also had one, however he didn't even take a sip of it. Kady closed her fingers around the glass as continued her story.

"Thaddeus James Black. He was my colleague and helped me a lot. BUT, with full of capital letters, actually he got his money from other businesses. Being a detective was only an alibi for him, or I don't know. He could manage stuffs easier this way."

"Drugs?" Horatio asked.

"Drugs, money, everything." Kady brushed her hair back, licked her lips and looked out through the window. "Criminals bought at high rate for releasing them."

Horatio leaned back, her hands were rested on the table. "How could he manage that?"

"Evidences were gone, confessions were changed, false eyewitnesses, and he had the best lawyers in the state. Where from? No idea. Maybe some judges co operated, I don't know, I don't care. Beside these things, he were selling drugs as well, and not to youngs on the street, ohho, no. His customers were just prestigious, rich people. Of course he could turn it for the good of him; he later threatened them to pay."

Kady silenced, she took a deep breath. Horatio was looking at her, and now she felt a lot older than she actually were.

"And how did it affect you?" The man asked.

"I helped him."

Horatio briefly shook his head if he would have misheard something. "Sorry?"

"Of course I didn't know about this whole shit!" Kady gestured with her hands, she shifted uncomfortably. "I… Oh my God, I made things I'm not proud of, but if I were know what's happening I would have stopped them!"

"But, wait. I don't really get it. What have you done?"

"Sometimes he asked me to talk with people or interrogate someone, and – and I did it for him. I thought it's related to his cases, we often helped out each other in work. But I swear I had no clue what they are doing!" Kady was near to stand up, she grabbed the edge of the table.

"Calm down, Kady. Please."

The woman sat back and took a sip from her juice. "Someone reported them and in the end Black fixed the blame on me. Of course it was easy, a lot of person could confirm it."

Kady finally stood up and went to the window. She couldn't see anything but her own thoughts, she was unable to sit there for another second.

"It was rough, I barely could clear myself. When they closed the case there was just one constraint: I could not work as a detective anymore. But as follows I was cleared of charge. The evidences against me weren't strong enough, they let me go. The case is encrypted now, it was way too sticky for them. Corrupt cops? No, thank you. They would like to hush up if it has never happened. After this I went to New York and became a CSI, they let me. You know about the rest."

The woman didn't even notice that Horatio was standing nearby, as she turned around she surprised a bit seeing his tall shape. She sighed and leaned against the wall looking at him, she was waiting for him to say something. And a long minute later he did.

"I have just one question. You really haven't known about what's going on, when they asked you to do things?"

"I swear I haven't."

"I believe you then."

"Why?" Her voice sounded calm now.

""Why do I believe you?"

"Uhum. We work together for almost two weeks, so you don't really know me. What I've told you is really a serious thing, but when I say I'm innocent – okay, almost innocent – you believe it. Why?"

"You're right. However, these days were enough to get to know you enough to decide whether you're lying or not. And I believe you."

Horatio's words made Kady smile, it felt so pleasuring for her. "Thank you." Looking right in his eyes was like watching the wide ocean, it was beautiful, and his smile was just amazing. 'What?' She thought in herself. 'C'mon, girl, get yourself together,r and don't you dare to think such things!'

"Speed is lucky to have a girlfriend like you." Horatio looked out through the window.

Kady chuckled, she crossed her arms. "Oh, noo~. We… we are not together. You thought we are together?"

"Why, you aren't?" He frowned. "It seemed like that."

"You're mistaken. We are like just sister and brother, nothing more. Oh, gosh…" Kady blushed a bit, she had to turn away for a sec. "The others also think that way?"

"We can say that."

"Oh, it's funny." She scratched her head a little, an easy expression crossed her features. "We are close, that's true, and I love him soo~ much. But only as my brother."

"I'm sorry for getting it wrong. And I don't want to dig into your privet life as well."

"It's okay." She was still smiling widely.

"By the way I call Frank to ask if anything have happened." Horatio said, then grabbed his phone.

"And during that I take a shower, if it's okay. I feel like need it so much."

As Kady was heading towards the bathroom she threw another glance to her superior over her shoulder and as their eyes met, she slammed the door.
