Previously:

Hurry up Horatio. Natalia is in dangerous.

He stepped out of the car and took his gun with him. He walked to the front door and saw that it wasn't locked. So he got inside of the house. Everything was up side down. Ryan could see that something bad happened here. He took the stairs. Cause there was no one downstairs. He walked to the room of Natalia. The first things he noticed were that the blanket of the bed had fallen and the closet doors were open. And there was no one in the room. He walked to the bathroom. The bathroom was a mess. The door had dozens of holes and there was blood on the floor ..

"Natalia? Are you in here?" Ryan searched for Natalia desperately. In the bathtub, behind the shower curtains, but she was nowhere.

Ryan felt on his knees in front of the blood.

Natalia where are you?

The sounds of the police cars came closer. Ryan sat on the ground of the bathroom. His hands on his head and his eyes focused on the blood.

Natalia where are you.

The sentence repeated itself over and over again in his head. Ryan sighed loudly. He heard that the sounds of the police cars stopped. He looked to his right and saw Horatio standing in the door. Ryan shook his head. A sign that Natalia was not here. Horatio walked to Ryan and put a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Ryan, I really .." Ryan interrupted him.

"Horatio, please don't talk like she is dead. I know she isn't. This blood can not prove anything!" Ryan stood up. And walked to the door, but before he left the bathroom he turned around and spoke:

"If you need me, then call me. I do not wanna be in this house. Not now."

Horatio nodded. He could feel the pain in Ryan. Ryan was like a son for him. After all these years he knew how to handle him. So he let him go.

Horatio turned his head to the blood. He hoped that the words of Ryan were true. That Natalia Boa Vista was not dead. But the blood on the ground was too much, so he couldn't confirm that she wasn't dead.

"Horatio?"

Horatio turned around and saw Alexx standing. She had a t-shirt in her hand.

"Isn't this Natalia's favorite t-shirt?"

Horatio looked at it, and he remembered what Natalia said to him on the day she wore that t-shirt for the first time:

-FLASHBACK-

"I love this t-shirt, and you know why?"

Horatio smiled. "No, tell me."

"This is the first t-shirt I bought when it was over between Nick and me. It's mine. 100% mine." Natalia smiled.

"I like it. Be proud on it." Then Horatio turned around and put his sunglasses on. He walked away with a smile.

-FLASHBACK-

"Can you give that t-shirt to Calleigh. I'm sure she can investigate it. And Alexx .. Will you please take a look at this blood." Horatio took a step to the right, so that Alexx could see the blood better.

"Of course H, anything for Natalia."

"Thank you Alexx. Now if you will excuse me. I've got to go." Horatio walked away from the crime scene. Away from the house. He had to find Ryan Wolfe.

Ryan was in the locker room. He had every document of this case. He looked through it. He knew he wasn't allowed to just grab some documents or evidence and look at it. But he had no choice. This was for a colleague. Someone he loved.

He looked at everything and brought everything back to his mind;

Victim #1 named Lauren Mcving was kidnapped. They found her and brought her home. 24 hours later, she was gone again. And found in an elevator. The elevator in the empty building Shiny Faces. She had a bomb inside of her and died.

Then there was another girl missing. Ayla Prince. Probably the girl he saw in the car. But he heard that she was located .. in her own house. With her family. Her father had called to CSI to tell that she was back.

And now Natalia Boa Vista .. left a fake note to tell that she was gone for 2 days. Never heard something from her again.

The offender: Unknown.

What do they all have in common?

Ryan took the documents with him. He walked to the closest office and took a seat behind a computer. First he searched for Lauren Mcving. He found out that she was engaged to someone who's named: Jack Peterson. Ryan wrote his name on a piece of paper. Then suddenly he looked up from the piece of paper.

Jack Peterson. Didn't I see that name before?

Ryan looked trough some files in the computer.

Jack Peterson

Sued for possible rape

Released due to insufficient evidence

Ryan couldn't believe his eyes. The one who sued him, was Lauren Mcving. His fiancée.

Ryan opened the documents on the desk. On the last page was the examination of the piece of hair that was found. And it matched to

.. Jack Peterson.

Hope you all liked it! And sorry for not showing Natalia in it. But I'll promise that she will appear in the upcoming chapter (:

R&R Please!

And again: merry Christmas and a happy new year!
