To my Twilight story fans:
Hey my readers! First off I know this is different from my Twilight stories but if I just kept doing Twilight I'd become bored with it & wouldn't write it anymore. This way by branching out to other fandoms I can grow as a writer but also experience new stories and hopefully continue to keep up my other ones too and don't worry, starting a new fandom doesn't mean I'll abandon my other projects. :)
To my new C.S.I Miami fans:
Hey to yous too! I guess you haven't read my other work so the above statement doesn't apply to you but check out my other stories too! Okay now that that is out of the way I welcome everyone to the start of my 1st C.S.I Miami fic. YAY!

Now on with the story.......
Previously on C.S.I Miami:
Eric and Calleigh were within shouting distance of her but it was too late.
She had opened the box.
"Valera!" Eric shouted as they burst through the door. Natalia and Valera jumped and looked to the new arrivals. "What?" Valera shouted but Eric just walked to the box and checked inside. About a dozen folded white lab coats were the only contents. "What's wrong?" Valera asked again but Eric just searched through the coats even taken them out to shake them but nothing was wrong.
"Eric! What's wrong?" Valera asked, her nerves couldn't take this. "It's-"Calleigh cut him off though, "There was another note." Valera and Natalia looked to each other, wondering which one of them was the target.
"Who's names on it?" Natalia asked and Calleigh looked to Eric before answering. "Well...both of you, it only said D.N.A." Calleigh said and Eric continued, "So it could be either of you." They all scanned the lab but nothing was out of the ordinary.
"Well...if you two are done I have something to show you all." Valera said reaching into the box and pulling out one of the lab coats. "Ta-da!" she sang as the coat unfolded and she held it up for all to see.
"Nice huh? And it comes with all sorts of little gadgets. It is fire-proof, stain resistant, made of resistiant material so it won't tear and if it feels stiff it is because it is lined with rubber so it will help prevent electrocution! So what do yous think? They are prototypes so I could only order enough for the team but give a month or so and everyone in the lab will have one. They even have our names on them too!"
She took the one she was holding, which was Calleigh's and handed it to her. She then passed out the others and left Ryan's and Horatio's on the desk. Everyone put theirs on and checked them over. "Eh, do I get a thank you?" Valera asked and they chorused "Thanks!" before turning back to the important issue. Valera looked down at her coat and decided it looked better closed unlike the others who left theirs open.
"So, what did the note say exactly? Horatio said there was always a code behind them." Natalia asked and Calleigh took out the note and spread it out on the table for them all to read.
To Horatio & family. I'm glad to see you take me seriously
"This guy is a real sicko." Natalia commented and they all nodded.
For this game is not over, not even close
For my next victim is simply going to have an over dose.
"Over dose? So...chemical warfare? Poison?" Valera suggested. "Possibly but I think we'll need to look out for all the signs. Just because he has a target doesn't mean others won't be hurt in the crossfire." Eric added, remembering the explosion that was meant for Alexx.
The rules are simple again
Find the one who will be in pain
"The one in pain? I feel fine, you Nat?" Valera asked and Natalia nodded, both feeling healthy. "Maybe it's what the drug does?" Calleigh added, everyone thinking about it before reading again.
for another penetration into your building
Means another victim, more circumstances un-wielding
"Another penetration...it's already in here then! Whatever this thing is, it's already in the lab." Natalia gasped, especially since the circumstances were "un-weilding".
So now here's the clue
Try guess what I'm about to do
Now who will be the next one to pay?
Three simple letters
D.N.A
"If the targets D.N.A, then we just won't work in this room, we could move some of the equipment to another room." Valera added and it seemed the only choice they had. They knew whoever this was wasn't afraid of carrying out their threats but they couldn't stop their work. That would be giving the enemy control.
After carrying some of the necessary equipment into the spare lab the girls got back to work while Eric and Calleigh stayed for a few more minutes. Both already victims and both wanted to look out for their team mates. Though duty called and Eric left to inform Horatio of the current situation while Calleigh went back to Ballistics.
Finally the computer in the new lab beeped after downloading the particle check from Natalia's computer and the results popped up. "Okay so the particle belongs to....Simon Kelly. I get the results to Horatio; he'll want to bring Simon in."
Natalia was walking down the corridor but the corridor seemed to blur. She rubbed her eyes but it didn't help. She held her hand out and looked at it, even two feet in front of her was blurred. She then got a splitting headache. She took a moment to recover from it, thinking it was probably just the stress and being cooped up in the lab too long so continued down when she bumped into Ryan, she'd know Ryan's blurred sweater anywhere. He was also the one person in the whole lab that hadn't heard there was another threat issued.
"Hey Nat. Listen I got a call out for a shooting in South Crescent Street and it's supposed to be bad and it'll most likely take all day so-" Natalia cut off Ryan's rambling, "So you want me to come along and suffer with you." He gave his cheeky grin and she gave into it. "Alright just one sec." She then turned to the general direction of the blurry reception desk and held out the file to the receptionist a few feet down from them. "Hey Jen, could you give this to Horatio for me?" The young Jen took it with a "No problem." And then Natalia hung up her lab coat and they set off.
Back inside the lab Valera was working hard and the computer beeped again. She looked to the screen but it was fuzzy. She looked at the desk, it was fuzzy too. She then realised it was her vision. She then got a splitting headache to match her blurred vision. "Whoa!" she said as she only turned an inch and the world seemed to spin. She grabbed the table edge for balance but then felt incredibly weak. Suddenly her legs seemed to turn to jelly and she fell, but had no strength to get up or even crawl from behind the table so was left out of view.
As they pulled up to the scene Ryan noticed Natalia holding her forehead. "You okay?" he asked and she gave a small smile. "Yeah I just got a really bad headache." Ryan nodded in sympathy. "Yeah this case is really messing everyone up." Subconsciously rubbing his knee he badly bruised when he landed in the parking lot.
"You okay? You've had a worse day than I have." She asked him, eyeing his knee. "Me? Yeah I'm fine." But he regretted saying it as Natalia gave him a crooked smile. "You know what fine stands for?" And they said together, "Freaked out, Insecure, Narcotic and Emotional." After both laughing he had to admit his thoughts. "You know, I never heard anyone else in the lab say that."
"Hmm...Neither have I." She replied with a shrug, her vision was better and the fresh air seemed to make her headache go away. Although when she first got the headache and blurred sight she worried this was the "threat" but her first hunch of it a normal, common head ache.
They ducted under the police tape and walked into the house. "God, you were right!" Natalia said as the saw the primary crime scene was more of a blood bath. "Who are the vics?" she then asked him and he read the police report out. "Eh, says here that they are the owners of the house. and Samuels." Both looked down at the two bodies. The male was rather tan with black hair with grey sideburns while the women looked much younger and was paler with blond streaks through her brown hair. Both had been shot in nearly the same spot through the forehead.
"Who's he?" Natalia asked, indicating to a teenage boy being led down the hall by an officer. "Ashton Samuels, the victim's son, he's the one who found them." A passerby said. "Poor guy. I'm gonna go ask him if he knows anything." Natalia said, wanting to get out of the room, she was just over her queasy feeling and didn't want it coming back. She walked outside to where Ashton was left just outside the yellow tape. "Ashton?" she asked to get his attention.
"I already told that guy what happened." He said, pointing to an officer who was reading his notes. "I know and I'm sorry but would you mind answering some questions for me?" Natalia asked him. He sighed before answering. "I guess if it helps." She nodded, "Okay so Ashton, where were you last night?" He sighed, bored with having to repeat himself, "At a Hurricane's game, I was there with some friends, that cop checked some camera shots and proved I was there till 2 like I said and then I came straight home ."
She nodded again, knowing the boy was just angry and sad. "Okay, did your parent's own a fire arm of any kind?" He looked up to her then and she noticed his eyes had un-shed tears in them. "A gun? Yeah, Dad is...was registered and all, it wasn't illegal!" he shouted. He didn't want his father to sound like a criminal. "It's okay, your father did nothing wrong." She soothed. "He wouldn't tell me where it was, didn't want me "in danger"." Ashton finished. Natalia looked at the boy for a moment before speaking"I'm sorry but...do you know anyone who would want to harm you or your family?"
"No. Nobody." He said quietly. "Thanks Ashton, you've been really helpful." She said to him, hoping she could cheer him up. "Just find whoever did this....please?" he begged towards the end. "Don't worry we will, I promise." He looked her in the eye and then suddenly he crushed her into a hug. He didn't cry, but just needed some comfort. Natalia hugged him back, she couldn't turn him away but she looked over his shoulder to the house to see Ryan watching them. Great! She thought, the one person who had being on her back over never letting the case become personal was the one to see her hugging Ashton.
After a moment Ashton let her go and she looked at him, not caring if Ryan would nag her when she got back to the scene. "You okay?" she asked him and he nodded. "Okay, do you have someone to stay with? A relative or a friend?" and he nodded. "Yeah, my sister and her husband live across town; I'm going to stay with them." After talking for a few minutes she had to leave him and cross the tape back to the house. As she passed Ryan in the door way she said, "I know, I know."
"I didn't say anything." He answered, amused. "Yes but your most likely going to tell me you must be professional while on a case, not personal." She quoted him and he laughed once. "I would tell you that but you don't listen so, what's the point." He realised he said the wrong thing by the glare she gave him. "And also...he looked like he needed it anyways so, it's different." She looked at him in surprised shock and said. "So I'm off the hook huh? No lectures?" He couldn't help but smile at her smile and said. "Okay, but you owe me a beer."
"Fine." She said in mock defeat but really she wanted the date as much as he did. "Okay so, I'll take the hallway if you take the kitchen." He said and she agreed. They set off to their work spaces but Ryan was back within 20 minutes. "No luck?" she asked him as she scanned the cupboards for anything suspicious. "Nothing. No forced entry, no signs of struggle, I think they knew their killer." He said and she nodded and turned to him. "Me too. Look." She pointed to three glasses on the table."So we have three glasses, two victims." Ryan thought out loud. "And one killer." Natalia finished for him. "Yeah but zero suspects." He continued and she agreed too.
"Well, we're just going to have to find one." She said and walked back into the living room where the bodies were. Ryan smiled and followed her. Natalia searched the room while Ryan took pictures of the bodies. "Hey, check this out." He said and Natalia came over to him. "Look at the way they fell. They weren't running or scared. They were standing normally when they were shot. And the shot was to the head, instant death. No warning, no intimidating, they just shot and left." He finished. Natalia then continued "And nothing was stolen. So if it wasn't revenge or theft-"
"It was killing for the sake of killing." Ryan finished for her and looked to her with sad yet serious eyes.
Sorry to leave it there but it would be too long if I didn't cut it now, as some may see this is the longest chapter so far. I know, yet another cliffy huh? I bet some of you want to shoot me at this stage for putting almost every character in the hospital but I'm rocking the nation from a secret location! I hope everyone's New Year was good too. I got drunk and slipped on the snow alot...fun :D
So I leave you here and don't worry, I plan to update either tomorow or the next day but it will be up! If not I will....update as soon as possible. (okay you tell me what I have to write if I don't update on time. Deal?)
