Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds or CSI Miami
A/N: All mistakes are mine this is supposed to be an awkward happy chapter, I know if I reread it to edit it I will scrap it cause every time I read my happy chapters I ant to throw them out, no idea why, maybe I'm not good at happy, but that's for you all to decide. Also you owe docmadi96 for keeping me focused and getting this done tonight rather than sometime next week
"Please just let me take you to the hospital just for a check, yo don't have to give them your name?" Calleigh asked for what felt like the hundredth time I wasn't really upset by her concern, but I really just wanted to get Doyle and going to the hospital wasn't going to help that. We were sitting in her living room trying to come up with a plan for exactly what to do.
"I swear if you ask one more time I'm running away. I promise to stay awake until I see a doctor but that's going to have to wait till tomorrow," I told her.
"I'll drop it, but you are sleeping tonight, I'm not letting you go into a firefight sleep deprived," She scolded, I was glad for this because if I was honest I was tired and it was barely two in the afternoon.
"So Cal, what is the longest range you can accurately sniper from?" I asked having formed the basis of a plan already. Calleigh could shoot long distance so their was no need for her to get close to Doyle if I could set the location she could be my guardian angel in the sky, I just needed to know where to set us up.
"I'm good up to about 700 yards, but I think we should sry for one of the abandoned shipping docks, there are normally not many people and it will give me plenty of places to scout from also the constant movement of containers will stop him from having much time to plan" She answered, I liked her choice in tactics, so I nodded.
"You will be my angel in the sky, I will tell him to come alone, but most likely he will bring at least two others with him. I'll give you his picture, when it comes down to it you take the shot at him first then the others. I can shoot most nine mils both left and right handed so if you can give me two guns it will increase my odds of survival just a little," I added. My hope being that if she could take out Ian I could take his guards.
"I don't want you to die," she whispered pulling me closer to her on the couch, so she could wrap her arms around me.
"I don't want to die either, and with you as an angel it's possible that I wont, but, I am willing to give my life if it means that mine is the last life Ian Doyle takes," I told her running my fingers up and down her arms. the feel of her body pressed against my was so incredibly calming that I felt my muscles relax into the touch.
"Hey I have to tell you that in my gun room if you lift up the carpet there's a hatch that leads to a five foot basement, since I know at some point tonight someone will come looking for us I thought you should know now so you aren't surprised," Calleigh's words were pure logic but her voice was that of someone lost in her own head. I moved around in her arms so I could look at her. Her emerald eyes had glazed over.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"That I've never let anyone in my sanctuary and now the one person I am comfortable letting in is someone I barely know," she confessed
"Well I could always sneak out the window if it would make you feel better?" I joked.
"It's not that I don't want you Emily it's just that I guess I want to show you my little hide away and I don't know why, the logical side of me is saying that I should take you back to CSI and have you locked up for attempted murder, but my heart says that I should help keep you safe and now I'm planning to show you my hidden place. I'm afraid of losing you tomorrow and I don't even know you," Calleigh revealed. I could see the beginnings of tears in her eyes so I did the only thing I could think; I pulled her into my arms kissing her forehead.
"I promise you I will do my best to stay alive tomorrow but why don't we go lay down and try to get some sleep that way if we have to grab the guns and get out of here we will at least have some sleep cause if the cops come after us we may have to stay on the move," I promised her, standing and helping her to her feet.
"You promise to still be here when I wake up?" she asked shyly as she led me down the hall to her bedroom.
"Yes," I replied.
I woke to the sound of knocking, "Calleigh! are you home?" yelled from outside. I felt Calleigh move jumping from the bed.
"Come on, that's Natalia, she has a key we have to go," I had to read her lips she was so quiet. I saw her grab her service pistol off the end table and we moved out of the bedroom to the one room with no windows in the center of the house. Someone knocked again at what I assumed to be the front door.
"Calleigh I'm coming in!" Natalia yelled from the direction of the front door, as Calleigh closed the door to her little armory behind us. I wouldn't have noticed the hook in the corner of the carpet if I hadn't known it had to be there, but Calleigh knew and she was already pulling it up to reveal the hatch. I heard the front door open as Calleigh dropped from sight.
"We're clear," Calleigh whispered, I ducked as she pulled the trapp door down quietly over us. She must have hit a switch cause a small lamp lit up and I looked at the room we were in. It wasn't really a room, it was a small space about seven feet by seven feet with a five foot ceiling. Black pillows lined the walls with and the and their were plenty of red blankets on the carpeted floor.
"So how do you like my little getaway room?" she asked shyly sitting down in a corner and motioning for me to do the same.
"I love it," I replied scooting as close to her as I could get before dropping down to sit between her spread legs, so I could rest my head on her shoulder, "but why on earth was this build into the house?" I saw a flush rise on her cheeks.
"The people that commissioned the house were into S and M they were trying to build a dungeon for their play, but this is Miami half the city's below sea level The contractor hit water and told them it was a no go so they pulled out of the deal. By that point most of the structure was in and half the house was built,the real estate agent was an old friend of mine and helped me get a good deal. I asked if instead of filling the whole they could make me this, the guy nearly jumped for joy since he's already bought the supplies for the basement," Calleigh whispered in my ear, it was hard to focus on her words when I could feel her breath.
"Can we sleep down here?" I asked hoping if we layed down I could focus on something other that the woman I was in a very confined space with.
"Yeah it's probably a good idea," she replied against my ear. I scooted forward so she could lay down beside the wall, then I lay in front of her leaving about an inch between grabbed on of the blankets and pulled it around us before moving so she so close to me that I could feel her eyelids close against my neck.
