A/N: I'm so sorry for the lack of updates but work and school and life and stuff in general has me bogged down. That and I had hit a massive writers block for all of my stories. Even the one that I started on paper and started to digitize. Yeah...... but here is another chapter to the 3 parter and I hope that you all will review this cause for me I see this as being epic. Also... as a warning I don't know how many will be squeamish but forewarning there is stuff later on in the chapter that is very graphic. Now if you don't find it graphic then you are all twisted, if you do then I know that I've don't my job correctly.

Now enjoy this following update,

Ghost

Going Ballistic 2/3

"Jesus"

"Well... someone wanted both your contract and Caine's, not that it wasn't all that unexpected really. "

"You. Are terrible"

Horatio had burst into the room seconds after and looked at Erik then a short woman unscrewing a silencer from what looked to be a custom finished pistol. Glancing up from the gun in hand the woman raised an eyebrow before grinning.

"You never said anything about him being a treat to the eye" Horatio gave a half smile as Erik growled warningly at the woman.

"Cameron" Erik said glaring at the woman.

"Sheesh... take it easy. Just making a comment," Cameron held both parts of the gun in one hand and while holding out a free hand. Turning her head at Erik she stuck he tongue out before turning serious and looking back to Horatio. "Master Seaman Cameron Darkening... well that was my rank before I became the hunter that I am now. I'm a hidden member of STAT"

Horatio was floored with what he was witnessing. There were three bodies with blood everywhere on the floor and elsewhere on the walls and even some on the ceiling. And in the middle of this where three live bodies: Himself, Erik Destler, and Cameron Darkening.

The scene didn't bother them as they stood there, Horatio took Cameron's hand and have it a good shake. The grip of the smaller 5"4' woman was impressive. No doubt it came with all the training and experience that came with her profession.

Looking to Erik, Horatio watched as he looked around and took in everything of note before turning his gaze to Cameron, his expression one of the utmost seriousness.

"How much?"

"43 Million for Caine. You. You are 150 million for you. Zach was smart not to have given the particulars about you. Other than that you are very armoured. That was it. Can we go to Mace's room. This one is uh... not habitable."

"You're staying with Mace..." Horatio watched the two, despite the bodies in the room the attitude was much like they have been in situations like this before. Horatio had to ask as his curiosity was peaked,

"Cameron... what are you going to do about the bodies?"

"Easy, leave them. This was a gang deal gone wrong. Remember I'm supposed to be in another room. Room..."

"515," Erik finished "Mace's room"

Cameron grinned and grabbed a hold of Horatio's arm pulling the stunned CSI out of the room. Erik followed out of the door when Cameron asked if Erik would do the honors. Horatio looked over his shoulder as Erik pulled the door shut behind him. Horatio listened to the door lock as Erik whipped around and threw his body weight into the door causing the door to door to shatter and open. Stepping back out into the hall he followed the two.

When they had finally made it downstairs to room 515, a groggy looking Mace stood at the door letting in his guests. Cameron gave Mace a quick kiss before Erik walked into the room giving a quick explanation of the situation upstairs. Nodding and giving off a yawn the man went back to the bedroom and was back asleep as the three settled in the kitchen around a table.

"So two birds with one stone?"

"Two birds with one stone... No one knows about this, got it?"

"What about Leona?"

"No one must know Cameron. Too much rides on this and you know that."

"I know but I'm worried about if this goes wrong. I can only do so much once this is done. What you have is what you'll have and get. I can't do anything should this go so far south"

"I know that, but once this is over we will have done what needs to be done. We will succeed" The faces were sombre as Cameron and Erik spoke, Horatio threaded his hands together on top of the table listening in. Cameron finally sat back with her arms crossed as she regarded the two men in front of her. All the humour that had graced her face earlier was gone, replaced with the utmost serious showed how this job was going to be difficult to pull off.

"When this is done, the major objectives will have been hit. However there are several other secondary objectives that need to be addressed." Cameron turned her gaze to Horatio who finally spoke up looking at Erik.

"The alloy rounds need to be pulled from the streets, if we do not we lose the war in Miami and possibly elsewhere in the United States and... we... are looking at the rest of the world if the arms dealers get wind of this." Erik sat back resting a hand over his stomach the other arm propped up on the arm his face in the hand.

"Erik, do you want to bring in another person other than myself?"

"Can you work with a second person?" Erik looked up at Cameron his eyes showing how tired he was, but the look of concern and overall seriousness was what made him awake and weary.

"You want me to work with her?" Horatio was trying to follow with the conversation but when Erik nodded he looked at Cameron seeing in her eyes who they were talking about.

"You want to bring in Yelina Salas?" Horatio looked between the two as they looked at him seeing the concern cross his face. Since Erik and Yelina made amends Horatio had been working his relationship with Yelina and it was slowly progressing again.

"Yes I do, she has recently been doing work as a hitwoman. Where do you think she's picked up some of the skills from?" Horatio looked at Cameron who offered a sad smile but nodded to Horatio.

"I'm watching her closely Horatio. She doesn't go anywhere without me being in the area with a rifle at the ready. Erik, give me a few hours I'll have everything set up for you, but I'm going to tell you know... you will need Tony for this too. I can't do that operation without him." Erik nodded his agreement.

"Alright, but I don't want any unnecessary contact, if there is an emergency then you can contact but not before then."

"Understood"

"Till this is done..." Erik said looking to the two of them, each repeated what he said.

In a darkened room there was a ruffle of movement before a spot of light cut its path in the darkness. Movement flinted across the light before static of a TV appeared and it threw shocks of light throughout the darkness. Suddenly lights turned on shining off of a liquid on the laminate flooring, footsteps cut its wait out of red liquid out a door into what seemed to be a hall. Following the trail across the hall into another rather large room that appeared to be a kitchen a figure stood naked with an apron around his waist blood coating his body.

"Ahh yes... what was an enjoyable night was it not my dear?" Looking over his shoulder Zach glanced into the bedroom and the figure on the bed. Tied to the headboard of the bed was a set of hands, the hands led to a torso that was missing a head, but if one looked further down the head was stuffed into the open chest cavity. The look of fear forever imprinted on the face as the eyes stared straight ahead the blond hair coated in blood matting strands to the face as the lengths of intestines where strewn about the bed. With various organs pulled and missing from the body it was clear that Zach took fun in playing with each of the organs and the body. The rest of the body itself was missing sections of skin the legs spread wide the privates mutilated beyond recognition.

Whistling to himself Zach held up what seemed to be a liver, a blender was on the counter in front of him as he placed the blood filled organ inside turning the machine on after putting the lid on it.

"How about you and I have breakfast hmm?" The silence was deafening as the face in the open chest cavity a silent scream before the man holding a glass filled with the liquid liver. Zach gave a predatory gleam at the face pulling off the apron and running a hand down his length.

"How about you give me a head hmm?" A laugh rang out echoing all around.

Finally back at home Erik sat beside his bed on Leona's side with a look of brooding on his features, running a hand over his face he got out of his chair and went to the bathroom placing his hands on the sink looking at the reflection in the mirror, looking down to his hands then a spot in the skin and focusing his gaze on it he took a deep breath and looked out to the bed where his wife to be was sleeping still peacefully.

Erik leans on the frame of the bathroom door thinking about when he proposed to her, he had taken her out to dinner with friends and family, when they had left the restaurant Erik had taken Leona to a lakeside house and lead her out to the pier and in the moonlight he had kneeled down and asked her to marry her. She and he had been off and on dating her but he had taken the time to get to know her. She had gotten into his heart and made him feel whole and he had even had shared his secret to her about himself and all he got was love from her, unconditional love.

"I'm so sorry... I hope you'll forgive me and continue to love me no matter what..."

Horatio had been dropped off at home making his way to the deck to listen to the water from the beaches. There was just something relaxing the way the water moved bringing in the fine salt air cleansing everything around. Turning his head to the side he heard footsteps and smiled when Catherine laid a hand on his back gently.

"You're up... why?"

"I couldn't sleep... too many things going on in my head. A lot of which I need to think over... I could say the same what are you doing up?" Catherine moved to stand beside Horatio leaning on the railing.

"Well you know me a nightshift girl. I'm used to it... I'm going to need to leave in a few days. I've done a good job of keeping you out of trouble"

Horatio gave a smile and nodded but the meeting with Cameron and Erik made him sigh and wonder what he was going to about Catherine. Looking out to the beaches and the water the two stood in comfortable silence enjoying each other's company.

With a mug of tea at her arm and a computer in front of her Cameron set to work making her plans into effect setting up a number of things, taking down others and even contacting the man named Tony who happened to be stationed in Miami as well. A message blinked on Cameron's laptop screen, when Cameron clicked it the letters appeared before her.

Tony Signed on at 3:40am(EST)

Cam....

I'll have it ready...

Make the rest happen...

I'll be at the site...

Tony Signed off at 3:45 am(EST)

"It's going to be busy this afternoon..." Cameron leaned back in her chair cracking her neck before she got up and going to her room, getting a massive black case from under the bed she pulled it onto of the covers opening it. Inside were pieces to make a rifle as well as other components that made her job easier.

Pulling the gun together she checked the scope and the rest of the attachments before something else from under the bed and checking it over before placing it in the case after she pulled the rifle apart setting it back into another smaller case.
