Damien and his friends left the room.
"Calleigh? Are you all right? Come on say something!" Eric said almost crying.
Calleigh didn't move or say anything.
"We need to think of a way to get help," Horatio said.
They thought about what to do. Every so often they called out Calleighs name hoping she would move or at least make a sound. Nothing.
Damien finally returned to check up on things. See things and see if Calleigh had woken up yet.
As he entered Horatio announced, "Okay Damien, I'm done. I give in. You win."
"What?!? Horatio, what are you doing?" Eric asked flabbergasted.
"I mean it. You win. Now, if you let me go to the bank and get you your million dollars, will you let all three of us go?" Horatio asked.
"I would. What if you run away like you already have tried to do?" Damien asked thinking about the offer, "I would need a little collateral."
"If he runs," Eric said now catching on to the plan, "you can kill me."
"Well. This could work. If you run though, I may accidentally kill all three of you by accident. You know how easy it is for an automatic to shoot. Your little girlfriend down there did at least." Damien said with a smile.
"Don't you talk about her like that. You're nothing more than scum. A bottom feeder," Eric said kicking around trying to escape.
Damien took out a gun and held it to Calleighs head again, "I could save you a trip you know. One less person to fight for," He paused to see their reaction, enjoying every minute of the pain he is putting the CSIs through, "it would be a waste of a bullet. She's probably already dead. Why even waste my time."
"That's it. You are a dead man Damien," Eric screamed as he was going wild chained to the wall. He was kicking and screaming very violently now.
BANG
Damien shot Eric in the leg this time. Eric immediately stopped moving and tears came down his face.
BANG
This time the sound came from outside.
"Oh it looks like we have more visitors," Damien said happily, "how pleasant."
A voice came from outside, "MDPD! WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED. COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!"
Damien's face dropped, "Oh it looks like they're more prepared this time around. Looks like I'm gonna need some protection," Damien looked over at Eric, "you look like a strong man. Maybe a little hurt from the bullet, but still strong. You'd make a good shield."
Damien took Eric off the wall then immediately put a gun to his head, "if you don't do what I say, I will shoot you," Damien handcuffed Eric then brought him to the front door.
They walked out to the front steps, gun still pointed at Eric's head.
Tom and the mob walked out to the front yard. Hands in the air. They surrendered. Damien still holding Eric in front of him.
"Put him down Damien. He didn't do anything to you," one of the officers said, "trust me on this one. You've already killed an innocent person as a diversion so you could get Calleigh. Now if you don't let him go and don't let us help Calleigh, you're just adding another murder charge. Plus the charge for kidnapping three police officers. You don't want to go down that road."
"I ... I ... she put me away ... they put me away. I don't want to go back," Damien said in a pouting voice.
"If you do this you will be going to jail for a lot longer though," the officer replied.
Damien put the gun down and let go of Eric. He dropped to the ground, "they're in the basement," he said very reluctantly.
An officer came over and cuffed him and put him in the back of a squad car along with Tom and the other mob members.
They ran into the house and went down to the basement. When they found Horatio tied to the wall and Calleigh slumped down on the ground they gasped. The EMT's rushed in and checked Calleighs pulse. There was still a beat. They were very slow, but at least there was something.
They put a rush on Calleigh and brought her the hospital immediately. Eric was second since he had been injured as well. Horatio was last. He didn't mind being last though. He wasn't physically hurt like Calleigh and Eric. He was hurt emotionally though.
All three went to the hospital to get checked out. Once the doctors told Horatio he could go, he went to the room where Calleigh slept. She was conscious at least. She needed to get her rest so Horatio just sat there and waited.
When she woke up and saw that Horatio was sitting there the first thing she said was, "Did you get hurt? Are you okay? How's Eric? I don't remember what happened."
All these questions in her head made her very worried. Calleigh always likes to know everything. She liked to be in control of her environment.
"It's okay. Eric and I are both fine. You are the one we are worried about. You went through quite a beating. The doctor says you'll be able to make a full recovery though," Horatio said trying to calm Calleigh down, "in the end everybody was okay. The good guys won. Damien, Tom and their friends all went to jail for what they have done. Everything is going to be fine."
