C. Duquesne, Unknown

[Calleigh Duquesne]

Calleigh awoke and saw a bright room. She had a breathing mask on. It was still hard to breath. Everything hurt. Ugh. She had a IV in her arm. How long had she been out.

[Horatio Caine]

Horatio had been sitting in the chair in the corner for a while. He waited and waited for Calleigh to open her eyes. He even had a feeling that she never would. But when she finally did open her eyes he smiled gratefully.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

She blincked a coupel of times. She looked around the room. She saw "H". She smiled a very small smile. She was breathing fast. It calmed her to see him here.

[Horatio Caine]

"Calleigh, your at the hospital. In intensive care" Horatio answered her eyes. She had the look that she had no clue where she was at. He wondered what she was thinking.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

She smiled. Ok so im in the hopital. What happened? I just rember you comming in and then nothing. I feel like shit she thought.

[Horatio Caine]

"Its a long story, how about I tell you it later" Horatio said. I want to tell her but then what would her reaction be? He asked himself. He stood and walked over to the window. He put on his sunglasses and prayed for her saftey.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

She watched him go to the window. She sighed. I wounder why hes not telling me. I guess he dosnt want to stress me out. Oh well. She just sat there.

[Horatio Caine]

"Calleigh, if you want me to tell you it now just tell me" Horatio said. He didnt keep his eyes off of a guy who was walking down the street. There's something about him I dont like. But he could just be like that. He thought suspiciously.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

She sighed. I want to know. But if you think its best for me to wait. I will wait. She had her eyes closed and was replying what had happened earlyer. Each time she out alittel more. Her phone signeled her that she had a tx. She opened it and read it. Her eyes widened and she droped the phone. (The tx is from a unknown # and it said: Get that guy out of there or your both dead.)

[Horatio Caine]

Horatio spun around.
"What's wrong?" Horatio asked quikly. He looked around. He looked back out the window. That one guy was gone nowhere to be seen.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

Her breath and her heart rate sped up. She shakeing. The phone droped to the floor. She just sat there shakeing. no, no she wispered.

[Horatio Caine]

Horatio stared at Calleigh. He picked up the phone and read the message. He then took out his phone and quickly texted for 2 officers to get here on the double. He shoved his phone in his pocket and grabed his gun.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

Her phone rang this time. She was in too much of shock to answer it. She took a deep breath and put the phone on speacker. HAHA. Its too late. You guys have 5 min to live.

[Horatio Caine]

Horatio took her phone and copied that text and sent it to the Crime Lab. Then using another text he said to trace it and fast. He set down her phone and looked franticly around. He was looking for 2 things. His back up. And anyone who looks suspicious.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

Calleigh started breath slower again. Calm down. Calm down. She took a deep breath. Then she looked a Horatio.

[Horatio Caine]

"We are going to be fine" Horatio assured her. Then finally he seen some of his officers walk through the main door to the hospital. One good sign. Now where is the threat coming from? He asked himself.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

The phone rang again. She put it on speaker again. Hey Horatio....I would get out of there or your pretty girl friend gets it. He waited for a few moments. Suddenly Calleigh grabed her rib and started coughing. The man on the phone started laghfing.

[Horatio Caine]

"What the f**k?!" Horatio said. He didnt want Calleigh to get hurt so he closed her phone.
"You will be fine. I'm going to do as he says. I will find him and I will be back" Horatio whispered in her ear and then left slowly and cautiously.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

The pain got less and less. Till it was gone. But then another wave flashed over her. She couldnt breath again and passed out. Her head layed back on the pillow.

[Horatio Caine]

Once out of her room he turned around and looked at her with concerned eyes. He then got serious and looked around everywhere. He gripped his gun tighter when he saw the guy on his phone in the waiting area.

[jadechen]

Jade did her best to avoid the big puddles that were collecting on the street but none the less her tennis shoes ended up slick with fresh mud. She had been running these paper errands all day. She sighed. The others didn't trust her with anything besides rearranging papers or delivering things. She wished, especially today that they could just call each other instead of making her deliver another stack of papers. The stack had been at least a inch thick and whoever had wanted these taken had forgotten to put something on them. She'd realized that only after she'd trudged half the way to the hospital though.

She held the papers close to her chest covering it as much as she could with her arms and bag to keep it as dry as possible. At the sight of the hospital she was relieved and she picked up her speed as she entered the door. Her shoes were still coated with the slippery mud though and they made her end up on the floor. Luckily the papers managed to stay safe. Doing her best to block out the short laughs of the people in the waiting room she scanned the room to see if Mr. Caine was in here. Her eyes locked on to him and then traveled down slowly to the gun in his hand. She nearly dropped the pile of papers in surprise but she managed to keep her expression hidden. She leaned over the counter to ask the nurse where Miss Duquesne was.
"Could you tell me what room Calleigh Duquesne is in please?" she asked. She might as well stay in the detective's room since the lieutenant was obviously not open to look at the papers.

(ooc:I hope you don't mind me posting here...if you don't want me to I can always delete it)

[Calleigh Duquesne]

Calleigh awoke. Now what happened? she asked herself. She sat up in her bed. Why does this keep happing to me? She held her mask to her face. I wonder what else can go wrong.

[jadechen]

The nurse replied "Room 315" without looking up from the stack of charts she was working on. Jade looked at the numbers that were nearest to her following them to near where the lieutenant was standing. She walked by without acknowledging him. She didn't think it would be a very good idea to get invovled in whatever was happening. She turned the knob on the door to Miss Duquesne's room closing it quietly. The detective looked terrible. She seemed much worse than what Jade had thought. She nodded quickly to Miss Duquesne and took a seat on one of the chairs.

"Miss Duquesne shouldn't you be...err...lying down?" she asked awkwardly looking at Miss Duquesne with her breathing mask held up to her face. She glanced at the mask again. Could people talk with one of those things on? She would sound even more stupid if she asked a question like that. She shook her head and shifted positions on the chair bending forward to pick up a clip that had been dropped on the floor. At least she wouldn't have to hold the papers anymore. She clamped the sheaf of papers together and dropped them into her bag. She peered at the door wondering what was going on outside. Mr. Horatio had been aiming at someone, although the crowd of people had disabled her from seeing who. Not that she needed to know. Or wanted to know for that matter.

[Horatio Caine]

Horatio noticed the new Medical Examiner walk by, and go into Calleigh's room. He didn't have time to go and meet her, so he focused on the mysterious guy. Horatio walked up to the guy and pointed the gun at his head.
"Give me your phone" Horatio said. But even before the guy could give him the phone he chucked it across the room. Making it so if Horatio wanted to get it he would have to lower his gun. And then the guy could get away. Thinking like this Horatio told one of his officers there to cuff him while he picked up the phone.
"Take him into custody" Horatio said disgusted.

[Savannah Katez]

"What's going on here?! Horatio, I don't care if you're a CSI or not, there are no guns allowed. This is a hospital, for Christ's sake!" Savannah said loudly and exasperatedly, as she stormed down the corridor. Horatio was pointing a gun at some guy. She didn't care what was going on at this point.
She was already late as it was today. She had taken a rushed shower and pulled her hair into a messy ponytail. She had stopped by her office to change into uniform before coming to check-up on Calleigh.
She opened the door to Calleigh's room without knocking. She was a Registered Nurse, after all. Someone was already in there when she arrived.
"Who are you?" Savannah asked coolly. She turned and walked over to Calleigh.
"Did you invite this person into your room?" she asked her.

Savannah:

[Calleigh Duquesne]

I guess i did. Savannah she is one of our CSI's. So i guess shes fine. She said being as calm as possible. She felt horible. She didnt want to lay down or it would most likely make her unable to breath again.

[Savannah Katez]

"Since when?" Savannah asked. She hadn't heard about them getting a new Medical Examiner. She would have to ask Horatio about it. He was busy at the moment, of course. Savannah sighed exasperatedly.
"The kids have a half- day. Would they bother you if I brought my daughter up here. She wants to meet you," Savannah asked Calleigh, smiling encouraging at her.

[Calleigh Duquesne]

Calleigh smiled. No, I dont mind. Calleigh still felf horibal but it cheered her up that a young girl wanted to meet her. As long as anything else doesnt go wrong. she thought to her self. I guess we have had alot happen i dont think anything else will happen for awail. She thought to her self.

[Horatio Caine]

When Savannah walked into Calleigh's room Horatio decided to go in also. He went to stand by the window, while they talked.
"That's nice Calleigh, someone want's to meet you. Maybe just maybe that will make you feel a little better" Horatio said not bothering to turn around.

[Savannah Katez]

"Okay. Well, I have to leave now if I want to go pick them. I have to drop my oldest off at home first," Savannah said, checking her watch. She smiled at Calleigh reassuringly. She gave Horatio a curt nod. She turned on her heel and walked out of the room.
