A/N: I can't believe it. For once in my life time, I don't feel like writing.

Hey guys, it's me again, planning to do another chapter. The last one seemed to completely fail, but I hope this one is a bit better. Sigh. Well, here goes nothing.

Chapter Five

Of all the situations she was in that day, she found herself in a crushed car. Of course, this was Ryan's hummer, so all in all, Ryan should be the one moaning and weeping about the crushed car. Not that he could of course, because right now, he was unconscious next to Natalia with a cut on his forehead.

Natalia has had better days. Days when they didn't find themselves in a car crash, days when Jesse would pick up his phone, days when her head didn't feel like exploding. Shaking her head, she started to unbuckle her seat belt.

It took her a while to remember what happened. H called, she thought, he called saying that they… what was it about? Oh gosh… right. They found Michael, and he said that the storage building bribed him. And were driving there because Jesse wouldn't answer his stupid phone, and…

Ryan moaned and stirred, drawing Natalia from her thoughts. "Ryan, took you long enough," she mumbled.

"What the… what happened?" He looked around, and saw the chaotic scene. A ton of people were shouting and scrambling out of their cars. Police from the last accident were arriving to the scene, trying to get people out of the way. He looked behind them and saw a blue Nissan smashed into the rear of his hummer. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" he grumbled. He started to unbuckle the seat belt and climb out of the car. Natalia followed, and they examined the situation. Ryan started to grumble something unintelligent, and the police finally got people to move out of the way.

Natalia grabbed her phone and called Horatio. He answered on the first ring. "Hello?"

"Hey Horatio, its Natasha. Look, long story short, there was a car crash and the hummer's going to need repair,"

"Is anyone hurt Natalia?" he asked worriedly.

"No, Ryan and I are fine."

"Okay, what about the driver?" Natasha looked around. She was so caught up in the case that she didn't even think about the driver. Stupid.

She saw Ryan and shouted to him, "Hey Ryan, where's the driver?" He shrugged and went back to talking to an officer. She returned the conversation to Horatio. "He's not here," she replied.

"Okay Ms. Boa Vista, stay there. Calleigh's going to come to pick you guys up."

"Okay, we'll wait." She hung up and turned to Ryan. "So mystery driver huh?"

"Yeah, witnesses say that he headed that way." Ryan pointed to the forest next to the highway.

"Well, we should let the officers handle this. Calleigh's coming to pick us up, and we're heading to the storage building," Natalia said. Ryan nodded and glared at the hummer.

"Great. Now my car's ruined," he grumbled. Natalia patted him on the back. And they stayed there, waiting for Calleigh to come and pick them up.

Jesse's POV…

I tugged on the rope some more, hoping that it might loosen. It didn't budge. I was attempting to slide my hands to my pants pocket and retrieve the pocket knife, but the bounds held. And of course, the two men were making an evil plan to try to escape without being found. But really, all they had to do was runaway on a remote island of some sort, create new identities, forge passports and ID's and bam, it'll be like you've vanished. Of course, it wasn't that easy, but it was somewhere around those lines. But Sam is a bit too paranoid, and he has no contacts.

The two finally finished their talk and walked over to him. Sam seemed more confident this time. He had a slight smile on his face and he walked surely, as though the plan would work.

Lane on the other hand seemed very annoyed. His face had a deep frown on it and his face was flushed with anger. He seemed to want to abandon the whole thing all together and just run off, but Sam probably hired him. He can't go anywhere if he wants his money. And he wants the money bad.

I felt so tiny sitting in the seat next to the two men, even though one of them is shorter than me. I looked up at them, craning my neck.

"Lane, I'm going to get the water. You stay here," Sam said. Lane grumbled something unintelligent.

"This plan's not going to work," he said.

"Yes it well," Sam snapped. "It's not like we have any other choice."

"Yeah we do," Lane grumbled. "Get some fake passports and ID's leave this place and never come back." But Sam was already going to another room to 'prepare the water', whatever that means. Then he turned around and looked at Lane.

"Lane?" He nodded. "Make him look sick." Lane suddenly grinned and cracked his knuckles.

"With pleasure boss."

Ryan's destroyed hummer…

The satisfying sight of Calleigh's hummer had finally come to view. The traffic started to get a bit faster, and in about ten minutes Calleigh was parked at the scene. She got out of the car and raised an eyebrow at the hummer. "Mighty mess you guys got into," she said. Natalia grinned, but Ryan continued to glare at the blue Nissan, even as they got into Calleigh's hummer.

"So ya'll, what's up with the mess?" Calleigh asked optimistically while turning on the sirens. Ryan frowned, and Natalia laughed. "No really, what happened?" Calleigh asked cluelessly.

"Well I'll tell you what happened," Ryan growled. "A lunatic crashed into my hummer for no reason, and when we get him, I'm gonna sue his as-"

"Wow Ryan, jeez, calm down!" Natalia chuckled.

"Calm down? Calm down!? It was my hummer that he crashed into! It's going to cost a fortune to repair!"

"Don't you have insurance?" Calleigh grinned.

"Yeah, but-"

"Well then, problem solved," Calleigh stated. Ryan mumbled unintelligent. "Well, I think we have bigger problems then the hummer. The killers may be in the storage facility, and Jesse's over there," Calleigh said, suddenly sounding dead serious. "You've called him right?"

"Yeah," Natalia replied. Ryan grabbed his phone and called Jesse again.

"Yeah, he's not picking up," he declared.

"Well, we'd better hurry then," Calleigh smiled, and surged forward. Well, as much as the traffic would allow them to.

A/N: Sorry, that was a short chapter. Please review!
