I know :devil:, See if you can figure out who's helping the bad guys
.
Horatio was first to arrive at Eric's apartment. He found Eric in a fetal position stabbed in the stomach.
"Eric", "Eric"?
(whisper) "H", "Help me "H"?
"Get me rescue in here NOW", "Eric" hold on". "Where is the girl"?
"YOu mean Marisol"?
"Eric" she's not Marisol". "Where did she go"?
"Out the sliding door", "H" what do you mean it's not Marisol"?
"I'll explain later Eric", the Medics are here".
Horatio informed the medics of Eric's injuries as they loaded him onto the gurnie for transport.
"He's to have 24hr police protection Frank". "Don't leave his side".
"Where are you going "H"?
"Back to my house to make sure Ryan and Calleigh are okay". "Then I'm going to get that look-alike before she hurts someone else".
"Look-a-like "H"?
"It's a long stoy Frank", Eric will fill you in".
Horatio left Frank with Eric as he headed home. Upon arrival Horatio noticed the door was wide open and no one was to be found.
"Calleigh", "Ryan", Calleigh"?
(phone rings) "Caine"?
"Horatio" I have your wife". "You and I are going to play a little game". "If you win you get your wife back". "If you lose, your wife and unborn children die".
"Who the hell are you"? and why are you doing this"?
"It's payback for killing my husband Diego and his brothers". "You took the only family I had . Now it's my turn to take yours".
"Why do you look like my dead wife"?
"Great work isn't it". "I paid alot of money and did alot of planning to look like her." The plastic surgeon did a great job".
"Where is my CSI Ryan"?
"I don't know"? "Could he be DEAD"? or maybe he's dying somewhere"? "Hmmm", let me know when you find him.
"Let me talk to Calleigh", "give me proof she's still alive".
"Horatio", "I love you". "I'm sorry we never got see the Desert". Our trip we never had time to take".
"Remember I love you HW".
After hanging up the phone Horatio tried to figure out the clues Calleigh had given him.
"Frank" it's Horatio", Calleigh's been kidnapped and Ryan is missing". You need to meet me at Hotel Windsor on Desert road".
"How do you know where she is"?
"I don't" but that's the clue she gave me" "Just meet me there".
Meeting up at the Hotel Windsor Horatio was handed an envelope by the manager.
"Who gave you this"?
"Don't know"? Some young guy came in, handed me the envelope and left".
"I need to check your rooms".
"Sure", here are the keys".
After checking all the rooms, "H" could find no sign of foul play.
"Damn it Frank", "Where the hell are they"?
"I don't know "H" but we should head back to the lab and have this envelope checked for prints or DNA.
"You're right Frank", "God please let my wife and children be okay".
Once back at the Lab Horatio took the envelope to trace.
"Valera", "process this at once", ASAP".
"I'm sorry Horatio", "Don't worry we will find her".
When Valera looked up Horatio was gone.
"Frank", any word on Eric"?
"Yeah", 15 stiches in his gutt". "Says he can't remember anything except turning around and feeling Marisol stab him".
"She's not Marisol", "Stop calling her that".
"Sorry "H", "any idea who she is"?
"Not yet Frank", "she mentioned something about me killing her Diego and brothers". "So I'm thinking she has ties to Mal Noche".
(phone rings)
"Caine".
"Horatio", help me", h..e..l..p".
"Ryan", "Ryan", "where are you"?
No response..
"Frank get them to trace the call". "We should be able to find him".
Driving down the same road they took to get too the Hotel, Horatio noticed a hand sticking out from the ravine.
"Christ" "H", is that Ryan"?
"Could be frank", could be".
"Ryan"?
"Horatio", you found me".
(Ryan had been beaten badly)
"Jesus", your a mess Ryan".
"Thanks frank".
"Ryan", where is Calleigh", answer me", where is my wife"?
"I don't know "H". "I was blind folded and shoved into a car". "There was more than one "H". "They vowed to torture Calleigh". "Eye for an Eye" was all they kept saying".
"H", we have to find Calleigh" fast.
"I know Frank", "I know".
Walking away Horatio put on his glasses to hide the tears in his eyes.
