AN: Chapter 11… back at the lab…these guys need to stop screwing around and find Calleigh already…goodness…seriously though I'm really enjoying this fic…I'm having a great time writing it…

"Got something!" Ryan exclaimed when the machine finally beeped. Getting DMV authorization had taken some time and persuasion but they'd finally got it.

"The car belongs to Robert Martinez." He scrolled down further on the page.

"Damn."

"What is it?" Eric asked looking over his shoulder.

"The car was reported stolen almost 6 days ago."

"Which means our suspect used the same car to dump the last victim and take Calleigh." Natalia calculated.

"Frank, put a bolo out on the SUV, Ryan you and I are going to pay Mr. Martinez a visit."

"H, I want to go with you." Eric protested.

"I'm sorry Eric but you are in no condition to be out in the field. I need you to save your strength for when we get her back." Horatio spoke softly. He understood the feeling of helplessness Eric was going through at that moment but he had to think of his well being, his attention being on Calleigh he paid no attention to himself.

*****Martinez Residence*****

"Mr. Martinez, when did you notice your car was missing?" Horatio asked fiddling with his sunglasses.

"I always start it in the mornings before heading out to work."

"What time do you usually go to work Mr. Martinez?" Ryan asked.

"Around 0430 in the morning. I'm a supervisor for a Waste Management company, I go work out before starting work."

"You didn't notice anyone outside?"

"It was pretty dark out, I was sure I locked it." Mr. Martinez ran his hand through his hair.

"Thank you Mr. Martinez we'll let you know if we find your car."

He nodded returning to his home. Talking to several of the neighbors the two found nothing useful. Most of the neighbors were asleep at the time the vehicle was stolen.

"Anything?" Eric asked seeing Ryan and Horatio walk in.

The grim look on their face gave him the answer. "No, Mr. Martinez didn't see anything, he starts his car early in the morning before heading to work and none of the surrounding neighbors saw anything." Ryan answered.

"Well there goes another lead." Eric mumbled.

"Don't give up Eric, we'll find…"

"Horatio" Frank interrupted.

"State police found the car, it's a good half hours drive."

"Thank you Frank. Tell them not to touch anything, we're on our way." Horatio looked at his team. Without a word they all grabbed their kits.

"Eric."

"I'm going Horatio, I can't sit this out, I'll lose my mind." Eric spoke before Horatio could finish his sentence.

"Alright but be careful and bring your pain killers."

"Already in my pocket." Eric gave a small smile patting his side pocket.

Latex gloves covering their hands the team moved to the abandoned SUV.

Ryan took the trunk of the car while Natalia moved to the back seats and Eric the front.

"There's a lot of blood back here." Ryan spoke opening the trunk door.

"It may not be Calleigh's" Natalia spoke quickly seeing the terrified look on Eric's face. She shot a warning look at Ryan.

"Natalia's right." Ryan quickly jumped in. "This was the same vehicle the suspects used for the last murder."

Not responding Eric turned his attention back to the driver seat.

"Got some hair." He reached for the tweezers placing the hair in an evidence bag. He continued to swap the steering wheel and the insides of the vents. Not finding anything in the back seats of the car Natalia moved to the passenger seat.

Horatio moved to the car. "Anything?"

"There is a lot of blood in the trunk, most of it is pretty old there is some fresh blood but it's not too much of it. I took several samples."

As he finished Eric spoke of all he'd done. "I found some hair on the head rest, I swabbed the wheel and the vents hopefully we'll get some DNA that isn't the car owner's."

"Took samples of rocks found in the tires and also in the floor of the passenger seat. The same rocks were on the drivers side."

"The car has a built in GPS but the trooper said it was disabled. A tow truck will take the car back to the lab and we'll have the techs see where its last location was and we'll go from there." Horatio told them. The tow truck arrived ten minutes later.

Tripp followed the tow truck in his cruiser as the others rode back to the lab to process the new evidence.

****************UNKNOWN LOCATION****************

The banging on the door could be heard down the hall. "TURN IT OFF!!!

"IT'S NOT TRUE, YOU'RE LYING, TURN IT OFF" Calleigh continued to bang her fist against the door.

A/N: I know its wicked short but I just wanted to do a small update…working on all the little details… things are a bit crazy around here…
