AN: Chapter six…this story is longer then I intended… its been forever I'm sorry but I've had no time to write…
Horatio's phone rang at 730 that morning, seeing the hospitals number he answered instantly.
"Lt. Caine."
"Sir, this is Erin from the hospital, Mr. Delko has been up for the past two hours, he's very frantic, we can't get him to settle down."
"I'll be there soon." Horatio hung up giving instructions to the two remaining members of his team.
He sped to the hospital. Horatio knew he had to get there before Eric caused damage to himself and the staff of the hospital.
"Eric" Horatio said entering the room glasses in hand.
"Eric, you need to calm down if you want to get out of here."
"H, they wont discharge me." Eric said, his legs hanging from the bed.
"I spoke to the doctor, he'll release you as long as you promise to take it easy." He knew it would be a promise that would not be kept.
"How am I suppose to take it easy knowing Calleigh is out there?" He asked agitated.
Silence filled the room, Horatio knew that it was an impossible task, they all cared for Calleigh and so he said nothing.
It was close to an hour before the doctor came to the room for one final examination. "Mr. Delko, you need to take care of yourself if you don't want to end up back in the hospital."
"I will." He assured the doctor. The nurse had brought the discharge papers earlier and now that the doctor had paid his last visit Eric was free to leave.
Once in the car Eric spoke again. "Do we have any new information?"
Horatio shook his head no. "We have the list of employees and their finger prints. Ryan is running those as we speak, but it'll take a while."
"I can't lose her H, I don't know what I'd do." He shook the idea from his head…
The remainder of the car ride was spent in silence. Both men thinking of their missing friend.
"hey man, how you feeling?" Ryan asked when he saw Eric walk through the lab doors.
"Like I took a beating." He took a seat next to the Ryan.
It was another hour before Ryan had all the employee finger prints in the database to be ran through those in the system.
"anything?" Eric asked every time the machine beeped.
Ryan shook his head 'negative' every time.

"Lt. Caine, we were just about to call you."
"what do you have?" He asked hopeful.
"The chip controls some projector. It has to be in close proximity to the projector in order for it to work."
"How close?"
"I'd say about 20 to 50 feet." The tech replied quickly. The news of Calleigh's kidnapping had spread through the office quick.
"Thank you." He grabbed the chip and left for the lab.
"Techs say the chip controls a projector in close proximity."
"Why put it in the victims necks though?" Natalia asked.
"What I want to know is what was being projected to cause three women to claw at themselves to remove it." Ryan spoke taking his eyes away from the finger prints.
AN: its short… but there is another one coming real soon… We will visit Calleigh again.
