Horatio was thankful when he heard Calleigh's voice, even though it was a little strained.
"You'll be out of there in a minute Calleigh, just let me take care of this guy," he called to her. Then, he spoke to the man dressed in black, "Put the weapon down, now. Let's go. You don't have to do this. If you kill those people in that hole, or myself, you will be facing an immediate death sentence. Come on, you don't have to do this.." Horatio tried to talk the guy down, loosen him up a bit, but he wasn't biting.
"I don't think it's going to work like that, Horatio. You see, I have more to offer here, three lives, two of people you love and yourself. So, I think you are going to be listening to me. Put your gun down," he ordered. Horatio refused. He blindly fired a shot into the hole, not daring to take his eyes off of Horatio. The shot hit the dirt wall next to Calleigh's head.
"Calleigh! Eric!" Horatio called. He succumbed to the mysterious man's command, and carefully laid his gun down, sliding it over to him.
"Good, job. Now.. why don't you turn around and put your hands on your head." It was less of a suggestion, and more of a directive statement. Horatio glared at the man and turned around to carry out his command. Calleigh was starting to wake up a little, and became fully aware of her surroundings when she heard several gunshots and loud yelling. She listened until she heard the gun click. Jim had emptied his round into Horatio. Calleigh heard the loud noise of a body falling to the ground. Then, she saw Jim's head poke out from the top of the hole.
"Okay, sweetheart. We have to get you out of here," he threw a ladder down the hole and ordered he to climb up it. She did and he pulled it up after her. She saw Horatio's lifeless heap on the dirt floor of the shed. "Let's go... " He handcuffed her hands with a pair he found on Horatio, then, punched her in the face and knocked her out, again.. He dragged her to the cop car and shoved her in the backseat behind the metal grate separating the front and rear seats. He climbed in the front seat. The keys were left in the ignition, as Horatio was in a hurry to get to Calleigh and Eric.
((Don't worry... before you guys freak out, Horatio isn't dead.. He's like the man of steel! He's invincible! lol))
