Coroner
Title: What Brought You Back
Pairing: H/Y
Author: Myself, Lilly
Ch/1shot: This will have installments, but not too many. It's a shorter story.
Disclaimer: I don't own CSI: Miami or it's characters. I wish I did, because Horatio and Yelina would have made it to the bedroom before season 2.
Author's Note: This is just something I thought up, because you all know how much I love hurting my characters. Yes, I am terribly homicidal when it comes to my stories. :lol:


Horatio was working late that night. Late nights were some of the best times to get overflowing paperwork done. The lab was quiet and nearly empty, and radiated peacefulness. Horatio smiled at his desk, gazing out at the lab. His lab. The few people left were closing down and heading out, the night shift moving in and out into the field.

By midnight, he was nearly alone. The night shift was probably at a crime scene, the day shift sleeping, and his paperwork close-to finished. The quiet hum of the lab equipment filled his ears, and when he heard the unmistakable click of a gun cocking, his hand was fast to his holster.

He stood up and looked around the lab, his gun drawn.

“Who’s there?” he said, his voice shaky. That was the part of nights he didn’t like- the eeriness of it. It was dark, and he as pretty sure he wasn’t alone, but he felt it. The shadows seemed to crawl closer and devour him…

Five long, agonizing minutes passed. Horatio kept his gun out, and walked around the lab, checking to make sure he was alone. He thought of calling for backup, but he realized he really didn’t have much to go on. It was late, and a whole bunch of sounds could imitate a gun. It was just his paranoia and experience as a cop that alerted him.

Feeling relieved, he returned to his paperwork. Soon it was finished, and he felt silly for ever thinking something was wrong. Imagine if his team saw him- afraid of the dark. Pulling his gun at a perfectly natural, explainable sound. He laughed at this, and exited the crime lab, making his way to his Hummer.

Just as he was about to open the door, the click came back. It was a gun cocking, and it was close. He didn’t move for ten seconds, where he stood, frozen, at the door of his Hummer. Then he whipped out his gun and turned around.

The wind rustled, and a few leaves blew by. He was completely alone in the middle of the crime lab parking lot, with his gun drawn.

He cursed, and turned back around to get into his car.

He felt a piece of damp cloth come around his nose and mouth. Immediately he began to struggle, and reached for his gun, but it wasn’t there. He could make out it’s outline on the ground, and his attacker’s shadow from behind him. He couldn’t breathe, his lungs were on fire, he couldn’t fight, and he was growing dizzy. His vision blurred, and finally his body went limp into his attacker’s arms, and the world went dark…

Horatio awoke to the feeling of wetness. It was everywhere- his face was wet and dripping, his chest was soaked, his hands felt damp, and he could feel the warm, sticky substance dripping down them.

Blood.

He was tied to a chair with his ankles and hands bound, his hands behind him, and he’d been gagged. He’d been stripped to his dress shirt and boxers, and cut on his forearms, forehead, and chest. The blood was fresh, and some caked beneath. He could estimate he’d been out cold for about seven hours, based on how the cuts had bled.

Horatio looked around. He was in a small, dark room, and probably in the center of it. The little light that shone through was from a high, small window to his left. He guessed he was in a warehouse, but couldn’t be sure. It was about 7am, the sun having just peeked up, and the window gave no hint to where he was. His cell phone, gun and holster were gone.

He tried to wriggle free, but the ropes binding him were tight. Eventually he was able to tip the chair over, which resulted in smashing his head against the concrete. He was stuck sideways, with his head bleeding and his hair wet and sticky.

About an hour after he had awoken, a man dressed in khakis, a polo and a sweatshirt entered the room. He wore a ski-mask and carried two .45mm guns, one in each hand. He stood before Horatio and aimed the guns at his head. Horatio closed his eyes and waited to die.

His thoughts drifted off to who he'd miss. Of course his teammates, but one special person as well. He had bid her farewell recently, for her own safety, and now he would do anything to see her one last time. To tell her how he really felt, how he'd loved her for years, how he thought of her every second of every day, how he wanted to hold her in his arms, close to him...

Yelina, I love you...

I like your way of thinking, I really do!

Exactly why you're in the crazy task force! :lol:

It's indeed great to see that so many H/Y fics are being written since the return of her character in "Burned". Don't ask if she's back more regular :eek:

Excellent start of what sounds to be a very exciting story! Soooo task force gather up! We're going to look for H! We really should put a tracker on him, or a lace..
 
Hehe, crazy task force. :lol: We have a new festering nest for the craziness.

Thanks for the response, guys.


“Horatio Caine. Been awhile.”

Horatio’s thoughts snapped back to the immediate- where he was, what was happening. He opened his eyes and saw the man standing above him. He had pocketed his guns and was about to stand the chair, with Horatio in it, upright.

“Dale Coleman. It has, since your New York days.”

Dale smirked and pushed the chair up. “For the both of us, Horatio.”

Horatio grimaced and spat out blood. “So… what, you broke out? Found out where I was? Flew down here?”

Dale nodded and pulled out a bloody switch knife, toying with it. “Well, I didn't break out. But it took me long enough. Wasn’t easy to get you out of the police database.”

“I’m flattered.”

Horatio thought back to his time as a police officer in New York. It was the height of the crime days, where he was met with cold-blooded killers every day, and his job became extremely difficult.

It was a cold and unusually quiet Wednesday when he got a call out to a breaking-entering murder in a high-rise apartment near Central Park. It was quickly confirmed that it was the eighth killing of a well-known serial killer on the run, Dale Coleman.

He was a dangerous man who had a chemical imbalance, and when he was treated for it he went crazy and a killing spree started. Once he began, he couldn’t stop. He confessed to priests at first, but eventually he stopped. While they knew where he was, they couldn’t find him. And the killings were getting worse.

A young couple just out of college, the Springer’s had plans to start a family. They had been dragged to separate parts of the residence, where the wife, Julie, was raped and shot. Her husband John had made it to the room where she was after escaping the ropes Dale tied him in, and then had been shot and stabbed in the chest. He'd put up a fight, and the walls were smeared and spattered with blood. Horatio hadn’t seen a more gruesome scene in all his time as a police officer.

He had gotten Dale off DNA he left behind, and put him behind bars personally. He always knew it would come back to him, but he had tried to forget him. The truth was that the trial didn’t go well, and Dale had a chance at parole. And now he’d gotten it, had traced Horatio down to Miami, and was out for revenge.

Dale was extremely dangerous, especially now, while veangence was his motive and driving force. Horatio knew no one would discover he was missing until later today, but which time Dale might have already killed him. He had no way to defend himself. He was alone.

Stall…

“How did you get out anyway, Dale?” Horatio asked. He had to blink away the wet blood that covered his eyes, and kept spitting it out. Great. He was going to slowly choke on his own blood if Dale didn’t kill him; there wasn’t much he could do.

“Parole is a magical thing, Horatio. One bad trial, and then it’s over and done with. No matter what I did, I still get parole.” He laughed and kept fingering his blade, twisting it in his hands.

Horatio nodded. “What good will this do you? You’re out, you’re free.”

He smirked and traced his finger along the sharp blade, up and down, then around the metal hilt.” I hate you, Horatio. I hate you with every molecule of my being. You ruined my life, and I’ll never forget that. I don’t care what they do to me as long as I get you for it.” His face was twisted with rage. Without warning, he leapt out and struck Horatio across the face with the hilt of his blade. Horatio winced as his mouth bled further, and his nose. His whole face was a ragged, bloody mess.

Dale smiled as Horatio spat out more blood. He was lucky he didn’t lose a tooth, but his mouth was numb and kept filling with blood from his nose and lungs. His breathing was ragged, and the cut he’d received to the chest was deeper than he’d imagined.

“I want you to feel this pain that I felt. As I sat for twelve years in prison, Horatio, twelve years…every moment was used thinking of how I’d get you. And prison is a rough place. I was almost killed there plenty of times. And now you’re going to wish you had been the one behind those bars, Horatio. You’ll pray for mercy, but I won’t show you any of it.” He leaned in close and grinned. “You’ll pray for me to kill you, but I want to squeeze every bit of pain out I can. When I kill you, you won’t feel anything because you’ll have been bled dry of any feeling.”

Horatio grimaced at the sight of him so close- his face was dirty and stained with blood and sweat. His teeth were cut, chipped and jagged, and his body smelled like he’d just been released from prison. He probably had.

Horatio curled his lip. He was starting to sweat, and Dale laughed when he saw Horatio shifting uncomfortably. “A little hot, Caine? Thought you’d be used to it, from sunny Miami.”

Curling his lip, Horatio exploded. “Dale, I don’t care what you think but no matter what you do to me or what you don’t do to me, you’ll be going back for this. It’d do you a hell of a lot of good to let me go now and lessen the punishments-“

Dale burst out laughing, a roaring laughter that echoed and filled the warehouse room. “After all I went through to get you? Hell, Horatio. I’m not that easy to persuade…”

Horatio dropped his head. He felt helpless, something he wasn’t used to. More than anything he wanted to talk to the people he loved. He imagined the team was wondering where he was, but still getting on with lab work. He imagined Ray and Yelina in Brazil, sharing lunch, judging by the time difference. How he missed Yelina. And Ray, as well, even though he was what stood between Horatio and Yelina. They were still brothers, and he loved him no matter how stupid he was. Though, to allow a beautiful, wonderful woman like Yelina slip through his grasp was incomprehensible…

“Caine, don’t space out on me. You haven’t lost that much blood.” Dale paced the room.

Horatio smirked. He’d lost plenty of blood. His face, chest and wrists were coated thick with it, dry and fresh.

“I bet you’re wondering what I’m going to do with you, and when,” Dale said, stopping in front of where Horatio sat. “Part of this is a mind game, while part of it is physical, and yet more will hurt you internally. See, because I want to hurt you on a deep, deep level. As in, I’ll burn your mind, your body, and your soul. Let’s see how you handle the heat.”

He plugged an electrical outlet in somewhere off to Horatio’s left, and bright, powerful, numerous heat lamps went on above his head. He grimaced under the heat, and the shock it gave his eyes.

“See you in a few hours, Caine,” Dale said as he exited the room. The large industrial doors creaked shut, and Horatio was alone in the blistering heat.
