Re: "MaCalleigh....What Could've been".
To find out what really happened, you know where to go.

The following morning, Macalleigh awoke, kissed Horatio on the lips, and headed back to her room, just as her mom was coming out.
"Macalleigh...what are you up too?"
"Huh...nothing mom, just making sure Horatio was okay."
Now her mom knew they had cuddled each other in bed a few times when Macalleigh was sick, but there was always someone near by, and it was never at night.
"Come you...spill it too me, or would you rather your father?"
Sighing deep, she followed her mom downstairs to the kitchen.
"Nothing happened mom, I had a nightmare last night, when I woke I didn't want to be alone, so I crawled in with horatio."
Looking into her daughter's eyes, she said...."I want the truth Macalleigh, did you and Horatio......?"
"No...I swear mom, we didn't, honest."
Knowing her daughter would never lie to her, she embraced her and sent her back to bed.
"Morning sweetheart, how did you sleep last night?"
"Okay daddy, just a small nightmare, but it's alright now."
Caressing his daughter cheek, he whispered...."I heard you tiptoe into Horatio's room last night, don't let your mother find out. I trust you Macalleigh."
"I know you do daddy, I would never do that to you, or to mom, ever."
"That's my angel baby. You and Horatio try and have a fun day."
"Okay daddy, and I hope you find Mary's killer soon daddy."
"I will angel, don't worry, you know I will."
Leaving the house, Mac decided to stop at Mr.Simms.
*Knock, knock*...."Det.Taylor, did you need to see my dad?"
"I do, is he here?"
"No...he got called into work early this morning, some emergency surgery."
"Do you know when he'll be back?"
"I don't, but you can find him at the hospital."
As Mac watched her, he noticed how nervous she was again.
"Listen Lori, I have a feeling you know something, and I will get this figured out, are we understood?"
"Yes detective Taylor, I understand."
Closing the door she began to cry, for how was she ever supposed to turn in her father. Deep in her heart she knew he had killed that guard last night for her. But why, she had done nothing wrong.
At the hospital Dr.Simms had just gotten out of surgery when a colleague walked up to him.
"Hey Albert, quite a party last night with those kids, Christ did you see that girl, imagine having your throat slit like that, in perfect precision too, straight across. Girl deserved it though, she was quite a little bitch, but she was fun to play with."
"What the hell are you talking about, are you insane, did you kill that young girl?"
Without another word, the only thing that could be heard was the gurgling of Dr.Simms.
"Sorry about that Albert, but I guess I didn't do you right, oh well, you'll be dead in a few minutes. Hurts to suffer doesn't it? But it's all of you who brought this on. You let my son die in surgery, and those little bastards were the ones who put him there. They should have never locked him in that closet, leaving that acid to spill all over, causing HIS DEATH. THEY WILL ALL PAY AND YOUR DAUGHTER ALONG WITH THEM".
Storming out of the private area, he left Dr.Simms gurgling in a pool of his own blood.
"Now...of to see li'l Lori."
As he walked out the hospital doors, he banged into Mac.
"Sorry about that, please, pardon me."
"Sure, it's okay, no harm done, could you tell me where I could find Dr.Simms?"
"No sorry, ask at the nurse's station".
Walking away from Mac, he got into his car and took off.
