Being there for you
Chapter two

Speed looked in the living room and sighed, he didn’t want to go in there to take pictures of the mess that was in there. He had a feeling that this was the last place that Stephanie and Kayla were before they got interrupted by the knock on the door, he wanted to go to the police station to question Kayla but knew that the girl was too traumatized to talk.
Frowning he looked on the table of the living room, two bowels of Kraft dinner stared up at him as he looked around. That meant that the kidnapper knew that they were inside the house before going in, that also meant that the kidnapper was more psychotic then anything.
Calleigh walked into the living room and smiled. “You know I am not sure that the Kraft dinner will bite you.”
"You never know, for some reason I am thinking about this kidnapper that is going around taking teenage girls out of their houses.” He paused and his face looked suddenly troubled. “Do you think that this guy is what Natalie said that he was?”
"About the Sadistic sexual predator? I think that she’s right, there is no evidence that would suggest that this was another person that is doing this but I know that whenever Natalie says what she thinks that it has a lot of truth to it. Take the Killer Dad case, she knew that Paul Sashan was involved with the murder of his wife and daughter.”
“Yeah and the only thing that she had to prove was the fact that he did murder them, we didn’t find the bodies until way after three or four weeks. By then I think that her FBI team was on the edge, they were waiting for the bodies to show up.”
“What they didn’t know was the fact that Paul buried them in the backyard.” She smiled at the memory. “I don’t think that I have ever seen her so angry before.”
“That and the fact that I don’t think I ever saw the FBI look at each other the way that they did that week. I don’t think that I have seen them so angry at each other either.”
She sighed as she looked at the Kraft dinner. “So the girls were eating supper when they got interrupted, do you think that he knocked on the door or forced his way in?”
“I don’t think that he forced his way in, the little girl told Horatio that she watched her sister lock all the doors and windows.”
This time she frowned as she turned towards him. “What made her open the door?”
“Maybe because this guy was a police officer and she trusted him before she opened the door. That’s the type of trust that police officers get before they come in.” He paused as he thought about what Stephanie would of thought. “I think that she was worried that something bad happened to her mother and that the reason why he was there to tell them to go to the hospital.”
She nodded. “I don’t think that was the reason why he was here, I think that he wanted her for a long time and decided that tonight was the night to do it.”
He shook his head as he thought about it. “I think that he was planning this for a long time, just waiting for the right moment when mom was gone and then kidnapping her for his own sexual satisfaction.” He paused and then winced. “Wow, think of what other people must be thinking of us right now.”
Calleigh shook her head sadly. She knew that the press would be asking the little girl some questions and the little girl would tell them what she knew, and the only thing that she had told her boss so far was the fact that a police officer took her sister away. Calleigh knew that if that was true that everybody in the police department would be questioned by the FBI and the IAB.
But that didn’t mean that Alexx had to be called in so that she could look at a dead body of a girl, she hoped that it didn’t happen either. This girl deserved to be with her family and not found dead in some street because she fought with her kidnapper.
Speed thought for a minute before going back out to the kitchen, he paused as he looked at the kitchen table and then at the floor. The cupboard underneath the sink was open and he knew with a sinking feeling that Kayla was hiding in there.
“Hey what do you have in mind?” Calleigh asked as she followed him into the kitchen and stared at him.
“I think that the kidnapper may of left something behind for us.” He said with a small smile.
She looked at him expectantly. “What do you think that he left behind?”
“Something that is highly useful for somebody to be a police officer.” He pointed at something underneath the table. “I think that I just found what I was looking for in the first place.”
Her eyes widened in surprise. “Is that a badge that I see underneath that table?”
“Yeah it is. You know you are really starting to scare me, it’s as if you knew what I was looking for.”
“My first guess was that you were looking for an ID card but when I saw what you were looking at I instantly knew that it was a badge.” She frowned as she looked at him. “Why would a police officer come in and forget his badge?”
“Because he was in a hurry to leave, that is what I am supposing anyway.” He sighed. “Either that or he really wanted this girl.”
Calleigh thought about what he said and gasped. “You know what that means right?”
“Are you going to tell me or do I have to wait for a meeting?” He called after her as she started walking for the door.
She turned and looked at him. “If he left his badge here by accident then that means that he’s going to come back for it.”
“But that wouldn’t make any sense.” Speed called after her. “If he’s going to come back for the badge then that would mean that he has somebody else in his sights.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about!” Calleigh called from the next room.
“Meaning that Stephanie is dead and that he needs somebody else to be satisfied with!” He called back.
He heard her coming back into the room, and looked at her. She stared back at him and then frowned.
“You know you are the one that is starting to scare me.” She said with a sweet smile.
He stared at her in disbelieve, he didn’t want to argue with her but this was really starting to get ridiculous.
“You know that you can say something right now instead of standing there with your mouth wide open. But for some odd reason I don’t think that this is going to be a quiet conversation.” She said cheerfully.
He looked at her. “You want to know something, I am going to collect the evidence and get back to the lab before people start sending a search party for us.”
“Lets hope that this girl is going to be found alive and not the other way around.” She said sadly. “I am going to help with upstairs; I have a suspicion that there is something up there that the kidnapper left behind.”
“Besides that badge?” He asked with a smile.
“You want to know something? I am not interested in a badge that you have found, especially if a police officer did that which I don’t think that one of us did this but I don’t want to be questioned by the FBI especially if you find out that the badge is real.” Calleigh said sarcastically.
He watched her go up the stairs with a frown; he opened his kit and grabbed an envelope to collect the badge that was on the floor.

Horatio looked at the computer in disgust, so far all he had found was the fact that eight girls were missing in Miami. Five of the missing girls were never found but three of them had been either sent to the Medical Examiner or to their parents. He hoped that the other five weren’t related to the Stephanie Dalesend case, he would know only after he read the case files.
He picked one girl and waited for the database to load, he looked up as it beeped telling him that he was on another database.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” He said as the FBI database loaded on the computer. He knew now that the FBI had to get involved but after he found out whether or not the girls were all linked.
“Are you having fun?” A female’s voice said from the doorway, he turned and saw Natalie standing in the doorway with an amused smile on her face.
He sighed. “I think that you failed to mention the fact that the FBI are involved in these cases.”
“What cases?” She asked confused.
“The cases involving five missing girls that nobody seen or heard from again.”
She walked over and looked at the computer screen; a look of recognition was in her eyes. “Oh that case, I heard about it in Washington. The FBI in Miami wanted help from Washington to solve this case, we told them that we weren’t going to do it because they had it under control.”
“Do you know what it was about?” He wanted to know.
“All I know was that it was about five missing girls that went missing and never came back, their bodies weren’t recovered so they thought that they were all alive. The thing that you have to see is the fact that they have been missing for the last six months, making the FBI down here a little desperate.”
He looked at her. “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is that the FBI are now classifying the girls as dead, it’s a cold case now. They have no idea where they are, this guy kidnapped them out of their homes and the only thing that he left at all the crime scenes was something that looked as if a police officer owned it.”
“What stuff Natalie?”
“Nine millimeter gun, a flashlight, pepper spray, handcuffs. The only thing that the FBI are looking for is a badge, all of the evidence that they found was wiped clean of fingerprints, blood and Trace.”
“So that would mean that this man is a sadistic sexual predator then?” Horatio asked.
“Yes, this scene looks that way.”
“Does this scene look familiar to you?” He asked sullenly.
She looked at him and typed something into the computer. She pulled up a picture of a girl and clicked on the house that was in the background. “When the FBI arrived at Sarah Cullen’s house, a fifteen year old grade nine student. They found the house disturbed; it was as if the victim and her abductor had a fight. When I arrived at the Dalesend house I noticed right away that these two scenes are the same.”
“Wait a minute… what scenes?”
She looked at him in sadness. “Both the scenes of Stephanie Dalesend and Sarah Cullen, I mean look at the way that the kitchen looks and the way that the girls look. All the other girls that got kidnapped this way are linked don’t ask me how I know.” She said sharply as he opened his mouth to speak. “I just know that this creep has kidnapped these five going on six girls. The FBI is sure to know in a couple of hours.”
“Did they find any girls alive or not? That is what I want to know.” Horatio said starting to lose his patience.
She looked at him as if she suddenly knew the sudden drop of patience that was inside his voice. “No there are no girls that have been found dead or alive. That is the whole reason why the FBI is starting to think that the girls are dead. Nobody has ever seen or heard from them again after they disappeared and usually with kidnappings there is a ransom demand and a phone call that is made by the kidnappers.”
“Okay so they are dead, where does this man place them?”
“I don’t know maybe he makes himself a piece of art from the bones that he collects.” She stopped when she saw the look on his face. “I am sorry; it’s the fact that these girls are missing that makes my sudden humor change.”
He continued to look at her as she clicked on another girl and sat down beside him. “Ashley Simmons went missing six weeks ago from her home in Coral Gables. The mother called the FBI three hours later, which I thought as odd but when the parents were questioned the FBI found out that Ashley was supposed to go to a friend’s house so that she could help with a project.”
“And what did they find out about her friend?”
“That she was a liar who told her mother that they had to work on a project together when she and Ashley went to the crack sites to grab some dough.” She said matter of factly. “The friend was arrested with ten others for having illegal drugs in their possession.”
“Guess it was the FBI’s anger at being lied to by a teenage girl that got them all arrested.” Horatio smiled when she pulled up another picture. “Sixteen year old Ana King went missing and remains were found that were unidentified.”
“They thought that they were hers but the Medical Examiner didn’t have the proof that they needed to make a possible identification.” Natalie said shooting him a look. “There are three other girls that went missing.”
“I can see why the FBI are desperate right now.” He told her. “Five girls missing and there is no trace of them what so ever would make me think that they will be found dead.”
She shook her head as she listened to him. “The thing that you have to understand is that not one of these girls were found alive at all, making the FBI think that he’s hoarding them somewhere or they are dead.”
“So what you are saying is that the FBI believes that they will find bodies instead of them alive?”
She nodded and looked at the picture of the girl that she pulled up. “This one here has been missing the longest, if she’s alive then that would be a miracle within itself. For some reason I think that she’s dead, she looks like a fighter and that might have been the reason why the kidnapper had to get rid of her.”
“Okay so you think that these girls are dead as well, what about Sarah Lynn? She disappeared three months ago when her mother went out to get dinner for the family. The father was at work when it happened.”
“The thing is, is that there is no proof that she is alive. We found a lot of blood at the scene probably from the attack, it most likely came from the nose because its clotted and not in a circular pattern.” She paused as she studied the pictures of the crime scene. “I mean blood from the nose is usually always clotted and when you have a nose bleed it is always thick, it’s a proven fact that whenever you fight somebody that a punch to the nose can produce the most blood.”
“And the most deadly.” He stared off into space.
“Yeah people have to realize that a punch to the neck is deadly if you do it right, especially if the punch is from below and not straight on.” Natalie said as she looked at the computer screen again. “In this case, the blood is in droplets with a little blood smear on the floor directly above the droplets, meaning that one of them got lucky. Probably the attacker.”
“Have you ever worked a case that was like this?”
She looked at him and sighed. “The thing that you have to realize is that the FBI work on many different cases that are like this. The attacker gaining peoples trust and then turning bad, sort of like the police officer thing. This girl felt safe when she opened the door to the police officer probably by the way that his voice sounded, all police officers have that authority to make people trust them. As soon as he came in he had to act fast before somebody saw him.”
“Basically what you are saying is that he panicked this time.” He said. It wasn’t a question.
She nodded. “Something must have happened that made him act fast, maybe it was the way that this girl fought back. The sister said that Stephanie put up a good fight.”
“Or maybe it was because he made up a fantasy about her before…” He trailed off as he thought about what must of happened to Stephanie the night that she disappeared.
She looked at him and then shook her head. “You do realize that you are describing a psychopathic sexual predator right?”
“Uh sure.” He looked confused. “Is this typical FBI conversation? You are really starting to make no sense.”
“You know that I am no longer with the FBI.” she looked at him in anger; she was now losing her patience. “When a man has fantasy’s about teenage girls and they have done it more than once than that means that the man is in the process of major Psychosis, he doesn’t have any idea what the hell he is doing because it’s a fantasy that he’s living.”
“Okay so now we have a sexual predator going after teenage girls. Do you want to go to the FBI and ask them for the case files?”
She looked at him with a smile. “Of course I do.”
“Somehow I knew that you would say that.”
She looked at him as she opened the door and smiled as she stepped out. Still holding the door she looked back inside. “Do you care to join me?”
“As a matter of fact I will, I want to know about this case as well.” He paused. “Anyway we have to find out what happened to these girls.”

Please review this chapter or the last chapter... I am kinda stuck at the moment with trying to think about what will happen.
