Chapter 5: Things Can Change in an Instant
Ryan
"It is time to tell him. He deserves to know." my dad replied in the background after a few moments of silence.
"Ryanna is your twin sister. When I was pregnant, I knew I was going to have twins. Your father and I were in a financial issue. I knew we were not going to be able to support the both of you so we decided to give one of you up for adoption."
"Why did you choose to keep me?"
"We decided to keep you because you were the first born. How did you find out about her?"
"I met her and her daughter."
"Really? What is Ryanna like?"
"Pale white. Ice cold."
I heard my mother cry when she finally understood what I was saying.
The Next Day…
Ryan
I have decided to let Renee sleep in this morning, thinking she deserved it after all of the struggles going on in her life.
As soon as I walked into the CSI lab, I began to feel as if something was not right.
Renee
When I woke up, I saw a note on the table next to me. It read,
"Renee,
I think you deserve all the rest you can get. Therefore, I have left you here for the day. If you need anything, call either Natalia or me. Have a good day.
-Ryan"
I heard a loud rasp at the door and it did not even take me a millisecond to recognize this knock.
I grabbed the nearest phone and dialed Natalia's cell phone.
"Boa Vista."
"Natalia, help me. Please."
"Where are you?"
"Ryan's."
"What's wrong?"
"He's coming for me."
"Who?"
"Jamie."
Natalia
In the earphone of my cell phone, I heard a loud thud like a door being knocked down. Then…
A scream. A blood-curling scream.
Renee.
I immediately went to find Ryan.
"Ryan! Renee is in trouble." I stated.
"How do you know?"
"She called me and told me so."
"What kind of trouble is she in?"
"Jamie."
With that little word, Ryan ran out the door grabbing Horatio, Frank, Calleigh, and Eric on the way out.
Ryan
Bastard…Bastard…BASTARD!
That was the only word going threw my mind.
The next time I see Jamie, I am going to beat the shit out of him.
I must have said this out loud as I got out of my hummer because Horatio said, "Not yet you won't."
I did not need to open the door because Jamie had already taken care of that for me and whoever else walks into my home by knocking it down. I ran threw the house, hoping to find that Jamie was still here; even though I knew he had already left, probably taking Renee with him.
I then said, "That. Evil. BASTARD!"
Horatio
I walked up to a quivering Ryan and put my hand on his shoulder and said, "It is going to be okay, Ryan. I promise."
He was shaking with both fury and sadness when he said, "Do you understand what it is like to lose someone close?"
"Of course I do. I am the one who does all the comforting, remember?"
He smiled slightly and after awhile, he stood up and joined Frank, Eric, and I inside his home.
Eric
Watching Ryan collapse on his knees when he saw Renee was actually gone, made me realize how close he actually is with his niece; even though they only met a few short days ago.
Horatio walked up to me and stated, "Eric, this is now a crime scene."
I nodded and I knew what I had to do.
As Calleigh and I began to investigate, Horatio went back to the lab with Ryan and Frank.
