Chapter 6.
At the same time Horatio got into a police chat room called hard crime. He clicked on the name lonely lamb and said: Hey.
Lonely lamb: Hey.
LT red: So you're lonely to huh?
Lonely lamb: I am, broke it up with a really great man, don't know why as we have been together for nine years, what about you?
LT red: Broke up with a girl I have been seeing for almost a year, broke her heart I'm afraid, and now I really miss her.
Lonely lamb: I know how you feel. So nothing happening at work today?
LT red: Stuck on a case and can't get anywhere, what about you?
Lonely lamb: Haven't worked in a while, but was thinking about getting back really soon.
LT red: Which department were you in?
Lonely lamb: Was in the FBI, was thinking about calling them and see if they would let me back.
LT red: Why did you leave?
Lonely lamb: Had some rough time and then I fell in love so it seemed more important to be with him, then work didn't seem to important, but well it didn't go as planned.
LT red: If it's any comfort I think my girl wanted that to… only I backed out, I'm such an idiot.
Lonely lamb: So what is this case you are stuck at about?
LT red: We're hunting for someone we think is a cannibal, do you know anyone?
Lonely lamb: I do, check the FBI most wanted list.
LT red: Hang on, this is not good.
Lonely lamb: He's not all bad, and at the moment very dangerous, so I wouldn't try to take him alone if I were you.
LT red: You seem to know a lot about him.
Lonely lamb: I do it's complicated.
LT red: I see, so where in the world are you?
Lonely lamb: In the United states, you?
LT red: Miami, work at the Miami Dade Crime lab.
Lonely lamb: In Miami, I always wanted to go there.
LT red: If you come over I can be your guide and show you around.
Lonely lamb: That would have been great.
LT red: Oh a question about this Lecter, does he like young women?
Lonely lamb: He likes anyone that can challenge him and don't back away, if she is beautiful it wouldn't hurt, you're not thinking about setting a lure aren't you?
LT red: No I was just wondering, well I have to go. Maybe I will talk to you later.
Lonely lamb: I surly hope so have a nice day LT.
LT red: Same goes for you.
It was a couple of days later and Dave went to wake Calleigh up for breakfast, but he couldn't find her anywhere or her things so he called Horatio and said, "Horatio, this is Dave Calleigh's brother do you know if she planned to go back during the night?"
"No she's not going to be back here for at least three days yet, why?" he replied.
"She's not here and neither are her things. It's not like her to just leave without leaving a message. You know if she's seeing anyone or something like that?" he asked.
"Not as I know of, but I haven't really talked to her after we broke up and she left to go home so that I wouldn't really know. I don't see that she would leave like that, unless…" he stopped.
"What?" said Dave he was starting to get worried.
"You know her better than I do, could she go after a cannibal on her own, if she felt it was safe?" he asked.
"Dude, what are you saying?" Dave asked shocked.
"I'm saying she might have went to find our killer on her own and if that is Lecter, could that be any good. I mean the killings have stopped when she has been gone," said Horatio.
"Hold on, let me try her cell phone while I have you on the line and how did you find out that it might be Lecter in the first place since she found that out while she was here?" Dave asked.
"I know people too," Horatio answered.
Dave gasped when he heard her phone ring from the other side of the living room and said, "I don't believe it, she has left her cell phone behind why would she do that?"
"To not be reached wherever she is, Dave I don't like this," said Horatio as he was now starting to get scared.
"Ok say she in worst case is with Lecter what is the chance he would hurt her if they know each other?" he said thoughtfully.
"Are you saying she knows him," said Horatio surprised.
"I think there is a chance she might actually, do you think he would hurt her if he liked her, because she said that Lecter would never kill the ones he care about," said Dave.
"Dave, this man is highly dangerous and if she is with him how do we find them?" Horatio asked.
"We don't, if they are together there is not a thing we can do only wait and hope for the best," said Dave.
"Well that I won't do, I won't rest until I find her," said Horatio.
"That won't do you any good, you won't find her, that she left her cell phone behind means she don't want anyone to reach her wherever she is, I grew up with her and I know that when she don't wants to be found you can't find her, trust her sooner or later she will turn to you," said Dave.
"I have no intention of finding her dead," said Horatio.
"You won't just trust her she knows what she's doing," said Dave.
"With a cold blooded killer?" said Horatio.
"Even then, just trust her," said Dave calmly hoping he was right.
"I have to go, call if you hear anything," said Horatio.
"I will," said Dave and hung up.
