Now on with the story..

Previously on C.S.I Miami:

Sixty-seven addresses were scrawled in blood, along with a dead line.

1 hour or they're dead.

"They're all business areas."

Standing in the AV lab, Lieutenant Horatio Caine looked at the large map of Miami. At each side stood CSI's Calleigh Duquesne and Eric Delko, all three looking at the digital map for some form of hope of where their friends would be.

But found none.

"They're playing games, trying to send us on a wild goose chase when we should be trying to find Ryan and Natalia." Eric remained suspicious of this piece of evidence since shown pictures of the wall when Calleigh and Horatio returned. Calleigh shook her head while still looking at the map.

"I don't think so Eric, any of these locations would be fit to hide two escaped criminals and two kidnapped CSI's." Having Dan Cooper scan all addresses into the computer and locating them, the CSI's learned they were a list of abandoned buildings around Miami, each un-owned for at least five months.

"Even if they are at one, the rest could be a trap, trying to eliminate as much of the force as possible." Eric waited for his Lieutenant to say something, but Horatio remained un-characteristically quite.

"It'll take more than an hour to search even half of these H." Eric continued and was correct, between the distances of the buildings from each other to the road ways and swamp lands blocking a quick route, it would take over five hours to reach and properly search each one.

Ryan and Natalia only had one.

Scanning all the buildings through his shades, Horatio Caine was un-sure of what to do. Deciding to make a quick call, he turned to his two remaining CSI's. "Call S.W.A.T, Calleigh, you will lead one team to one location, Eric you will take another."

Quickly doing the math in her head, Calleigh realised something vital. "Horatio there isn't enough quick-response S.W.A.T to spread over three areas." Horatio looked to her with a grim smile. "Patrol shall take as many other buildings as possible, you two will take S.W.A.T."

Eric realised what Calleigh had said, "What about you H?"

Walking to the door of the AV lab, the Lieutenant took one strong breath, taking a name up of the pin board as he went. "I...am going in alone."

Sitting against the cold wall of his prison, Ryan Wolfe pushed his injured knee against the steel, feeling the pain be frozen away. He had tried, pushing, punching, kicking but the door of his prison was not budging.

So neither was he.

Natalia had being pacing, too scared to sit down and give-up. Walking back and forward next to the door, all the CSI could do was tug her necklace furiously, a sign she was afraid.

"Natalia?"

Hearing Ryan call her, she turned to see what he needed. Instead of answering, he patted the spot next to him, his eyes begging for company. Walking to him, Natalia slid down the wall and leaned into his shoulder, tears threatening to fall.

Ryan wrapped his arm around her shoulder, stroking her hair lightly. "We're doomed aren't we?" Though she said it lightly, Natalia seriously needed to know if Ryan felt the situation was hopeless, if he had giving up hope, to her, there was no hope then.

Not knowing how to answer, Ryan remained quiet. Knowing what the silence meant, Natalia just nodded, accepting Ryan's decision. The two CSI's sat there like this for a moment, just revelling in the presence of the other. Biting her lip in nervousness, Natalia turned her head to look up at Ryan.

He had already being looking at her.

Lost in the fear of the moment, the two subconsciously leaned closer. Only inches apart and feeling her breath tingle his lips, Ryan leaned in closer, waiting for Natalia to close the gap if she wanted to.

She did.

Melting into the embrace, Natalia's hand wandered to the back of Ryan's head, fingers entangling in his hair. Ryan pulled her closer to him, both hands resting on the small of her back.

Breaking apart slightly for breath, Ryan looked into Natalia's eyes deeply. Natalia looked back, seeing love pool in his. She felt love back for him, but looking into the grey seas of his eyes made her think:

Was she only anchoring to Ryan because she was drowning in fear?

Calleigh Duquesne walked to the outdoor car park of the CSI lab where a group of eleven S.W.A.T officers waited for her. The officers had already been informed of the situation and protocol to use so once Calleigh was ready, they were.

Giving the officers a quick nod, she climbed into the S.W.A.T truck with the eleven officers behind her.

Just down a few feet from her, Eric Delko was being strapped into a bullet proof vest. Unlike Calleigh, he would be leading his division into the building whilst she would cover up the back for hers.

Sighing, Eric still held onto his theory that this was one giant trap.

A trap he and Calleigh were about to walk into...and one Horatio would walk into alone.

Speeding in-between the traffic of Miami, Horatio Caine raced to his destination, gun in holster, shades covering his blue eyes, the Lieutenant's gut instinct felt this was the right location. Pushing his Hummer to its full speed; Horatio was only five minutes from his destination.

Miami Metals...here I come.

Dun-dun-dun-dunnnnn!

So H picked the right building to go to but is this a good or bad thing?

What will happen to Ryan and Natalia? I hope you all enjoyied the RaiN moment but how long will it last?

Find out only next time folks!

Mel out :)
