Author's Notes: Hey ya'll. I'm updating and I've been working on a new story, two actually. Should I post them or finish my other stories first? I don't know, what do ya'll think? Hungry for more? Any who, fun fact I just have to mention. I've been rewatching CSI: Miami on Netflix particularly Season 6. In the Episode Stand Your Ground when Calleigh is involved in the off duty shooting and I noticed some things. Horatio says that Calleigh was in the line of fire and Calleigh is interrogated by Stetler in a public room, which she mentions. I thought it was interesting and coincidental because they used the name of my story and the interrogation scenes similarity. I know it's so random, but I thought it was cool. Envoy

13. Eye of the Storm

Horatio didn't receive a call, not one. Not only did he receive no ransom call, he didn't receive any call not even a call out. After this crime spree the Russians had been on as of late, they would typically be called out a minimum three times a day. But there was nothing and as much as the lieutenant liked the idea of a world where there were no call and everyone was safe, he didn't feel this silence in Miami had anything to do with world peace. Something was coming; something that even scared other groups of organized criminals off the street. Something big was coming and it all started with that break in at the armory.

When Eric woke the room was dark, his mouth was dry and his head was pounding, but he was wide awake. He looked around the room he was in the same place he was before. The relaxation he once felt before was replaced with tension. The woman he had seen before wasn't Calleigh; he saw her face before he faded and he knew something was wrong. He had memorized every inch of the real Calleigh's face, every blemish, every beauty mark and that woman wasn't Calleigh. Their shared similar featured but he saw even through hazy vision that her eyes were not the same piercing blue as Calleigh's and her feature were not as soft or smooth. She also wasn't at his side when he woke, which he was sure the real Calleigh would have been no matter what. He quickly reasoned if she wasn't Calleigh this wasn't a hospital. His conclusion was conformed when he watched the hall for thirty minutes and not one soul walked through it. There was also no being paged and no surrounding noise. "Where the hell am I?" Eric thought. He moved in his bed in an attempt to stand, but pain surged through his body.

"ARGH" He groaned loudly in pain. A nurse quickly ran into the room and turned on the lights.

"Mr. Delko is everything ok?" she asked in an elevated tone. "Do you need medicine or water? Are you in pain?"

"I just need my doctor" he croaked "Where is Doctor Flinkle?" he asked pulling the first random name he could think of.

"Doctor Flinkle isn't available today?" The Nurse replied.

"Why?" Eric asked, trying to force the truth from nurse.

"Because he is not available, they don't tell me these things I'm just a nurse." The nurse replied sternly, she wasn't giving up anything. She grabbed the pitcher of water from the nightstand and poured a cup. "Drink this" she handed Eric a glass of water. He noticed the change in tone; she had become defensive and pushy. He grabbed the glass and drank it. Though he was wide awake, his eyes started to droop and the glass started to slip from his hands, the nurse caught as if she was prepared. He looked at her as his eyes closed and saw she was smiling. There was something in the water and she was drugging him. He tried his best to fight the sleep that was over taking him, but the drugs overcome him. His eyes closed and he was almost faded when he the nurse say in a thickly accented voice as she shut off the lights "сладких снов, Mr. Delko" (pronounced sladkikh snoff )

Calleigh tried to busy herself on the IAB office floor. She set in the employee break room and from her seat she had a clear view of Stetler's office and she had been stalking him for the last few hours to no avail. She set alone. She reviewed several analysis and had written five reports, five very long reports and Stetler hadn't left his office. His door was closed and the blinds pulled. "What was he doing in there?" Calleigh thought. Calleigh was too distracted watching Stetler's office she didn't noticed Natalia walking into the room.

"Hey Calleigh, how'd your meeting go?" Natalia said. Calleigh continued to look out the window and didn't answer.

"Hey Cal, you in there?" she said.

"Huh?" Calleigh said snapping out of her trance.

"I was asking how you meeting want, but what are you looking at?" she asked, walking alongside Calleigh and looked out the window. Calleigh hesitated; she didn't know what to say. She couldn't tell Natalia that she was staking out Stetler's office. She had to think of something, but her mind was blank.

"Just…lose…in…thought" she said in a slow distracted manner without breaking her glaze from the office.

"Ok" Natalia said unconvinced. "So how was your meeting?" she asked for the third time.

"Fine" Calleigh said, still distracted, she looked at her watch. She can't stake out Stetler's office any longer. She needed to get back to ballistics lab and run some test, plus she didn't feel comfortable now that Natalia was in the room. "Just fine, hey I got to run." She said without even looking up, she then got up from her chair and exited the room. Natalia looked at her with a surprised expression on her face, she was getting the cold shoulder and she was just trying to be supportive.

"Ok then" She said under her breath and rolled her eyes, but Calleigh was long gone.

Stetler had been very business in his office and his work was almost done. It was the key to everything. It was the stone to which he would kill two birds. He twirled the tape around in his hand; He placed the tape in the recorder and plugged into in the computer to extract the data. Calleigh would be her own undoing. "Choke on this, Ms. Duquesne" he thought as he downloaded the audio file to his computer. When his download was complete, he loaded the file into audio editor. His niece made it look so easy, but editing audio was pretty tricky. After some time Stetler found that the only thing he'd managed to do was frustrate himself to the point that he to pull out his hair. He was going to have to call in a professional. He wasn't going to use his niece, so he tried the next best thing. He pulled out a file and started to flip through. When he found the page he was looking for he picked up the phone and started to dial a number.

"Ron, I need you to find someone who can doctor some audio" he said. Ron replied on the other line." Ok good, how soon can they deliver?" Stetler replied back. Ron answered. "Good, Good I'll send the audio files and instructions." Stetler said then hung up the phone. Stetler smiled, he couldn't be more pleased. Everything was finally coming together; he set in his office and waited for the audio that would be the nail in the coffin.
