Disclaimer: If I owned anything I wouldn't be as broke as I am

"Cal, sweetheart wake up," came a soft female voice. I snuggled deeper into the blankets trying to ignore whoever I'd brought home...brought home! My eyes flew open to see brown eyes staring back at me, I recognized the dim light of my sanctuary. Before I remembered who was in here with me I reached for my gun.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you Calleigh," Emily whispered backing away from me looking nervous. I remembered why she was here and what we had to do today and I instantly felt bad for frightening her.

"It's alright Em, I just wasn't fully awake yet," I comforted reaching out so I could touch her. Her hands were soft in mine and I could tell she was shaking I wasn't sure if she was afraid of me or afraid of the thing we were going to do today, but I wanted to take that fear away so I coaxed her into my arms and just held her whispering soft reassurances until she stopped quivering.

"We should get going, Natalia and JJ, an old coworker are staking out your front door so I'm hoping you have another way out," she told me pulling out of my arms, I noticed then that the trap door was open and there were duffle bags in my gun room that I assumed she had packed.

"Natalia doesn't do field work, why would she be stalking me out?" I asked not expecting an answer.

"Probably because JJ brought her, how JJ got here so fast is a question I don't have the answer too though," Emily explained, though her words only opened the door for more questions like; who was JJ? Why wasn't she helping us? Why would she bring Natalia in the field? And how did she know Natalia? But now wasn't the time for twenty questions now was the time for us to get to the docks so that when Doyle showed up at eight thirty we would be ready. I'd showed Emily last night which guns I wanted and I knew she had taken some for herself

"Well I have a back door and we can jump the fence into the alley and walk up to the buss stop, then ride to CSI and my car from the garage," I said.

"Ok lets do this," she replied pulling herself from my arms and climbing up into my gun room. I missed her touch as soon as it was gone but I knew it was necessary since I too had to get out of my sanctuary and get ready to do the one thing I never thought I would plan to do; kill someone.

I always thought it would be hard to commit premeditated murder, but lying here on the top of a cargo carrier I realize when you love someone it's not hard at all. Love did I just think love, I didn't really mean that. Did I? I had time to think while I was waiting up here and I can't tell you if this is love, but I know one thing in the twentyfour hours since I met Emily, I've been happier than with any man I've ever dated and not only that but I'm willing to kill for her without a second thought. I can see her through my scope she looks completely confident, as though she were simply enjoying the salty air, but I know she's afraid. Seeing the car approach I want to call it off, want to take her and run away with her to a place where she doesn't have to be afraid. I want to protect her from harm because I know that she'd had more than a lifetimes worth already. I'm afraid that the car is going to just run her over, but it doesn't. When it stops about four feet in front of her I watch as three men get out.

"You're outnumbered Lauren," One of the men says with a thick Irish accent,I can hear threw the bug I put on Emily's holster. I had set it up so that once Emily drew the gun the bug would go dead that way I wouldn't hear the shots That's all I needed to know which of the three men I had to take out first. I spotted the flag to gage the wind speed before looking down the sight and taking aim.

"I'm here to end this Ian, I didn't expect to live why bring anyone with me?" Emily sounded cold and I knew that was my cue. I let all the breath out of my body as everyone below reached for guns. my finger twitched on the trigger. I heard the bug go dead as Emilys gun cleared the holster. I sighted and let another round go, then a third. I saw the three men fall I knew that I had killed Doyle but the other two I didn't know if it had been me or Emily. I watched as Emily sank to the ground, I didn't know if she was hurt so I ran rather than walked down from my perch.

"Emily! Come on please be ok! You do not get to die on me!" I yelled running across the pavement. She looked up at me from where she was sitting on the asphalt.

"It's ok, Calleigh, I'm fine, I promise you, I'm just so relieved, it's all over," her voice cracked and I knew she was crying, but tears I could fix. I vowed then to hunt down every person who had ever hurt her so that she would never have to be afraid again.

"Come on, Em we got to get out of here," I whispered gently reaching out and pulling her to her feel.
