Here's the next chapter. As always enjoy.
Chapter THIRTEEN
Within minutes there seemed to be a hundred cops in the parking garage. Ellen was huddled in a blanket in a corner of an ambulance. She was crying and kept repeating to everyone as well as herself. “He always said that he could take her from me when I least expected it.” The doctor that was attending her could tell that she was in shock and was doing his best to keep her body from crumbling in on it’s self.
Det Frank Tripp stood there beside her asking the usual questions. All of a sudden she stood up and looked up at him. “I need to talk with Lt. Caine.”
Frank stopped writing and looked at her. “Ma’am he is on medical leave. I know that his team has been assigned the crime scene, but he will be out of action for awhile.”
“I don’t care about his team or his being assigned to this crime scene. I need to talk with him. He. . .” She had been waving her arms as she spoke now she was looking at this big Texan trying to explain something she didn’t quite understand herself. She just knew that his calm was what she needed. His intelligent blue calming eyes looking at her telling her that he would get Josephine back. He was like a life saver to her drowning in the aftermath of what Justin had done. He would give her strength when she had none of her own just as he had done that day in the kitchen. “Please.” She pleaded with voice and eyes at Det Tripp.
Even Frank could see that this woman was holding on by just inches and needed a strength that Horatio Caine always seemed to have for the victims that he came in contact with. He also saw that there was more to her plead than maybe she even knew. He put his pad and pin in his breast pocket and taking her by the arm said. “I’ll take you to him.” As he turned to leave he saw Calleigh directing the team and they had eye contact. She walked over to have a word before he left the scene.
“We will have the evidence collected quickly and it goes on the top of the list. Everything else takes the back burner. One of ours has fallen and this is our priority case.” She was only 5’4” and standing there in front of Det. Tripp she made herself seem to be at least as tall as his 6’2” frame. She looked at Ellen and could see that this woman was almost at the end of wits. She knew that Frank Tripp was going to see that Ellen got what she needed to keep her from falling over the edge into the abyss of pain and agony.
When the elevator doors closed on Frank and Ellen she seemed to start to wilt against him. She leaned into him and Frank put his arm around her to keep her from falling to the floor. With her left had grasping his coat lapel she managed to step out of the elevator and walk down the hall to the room where Horatio lay in traction due to his car accident.
When they got to the door they could hear his voice rising in an argument with some one about getting a wheelchair and going to the garage to check on Ellen and Josephine. When Frank pushed open the door he got a look at his friend and co-worker in a face off with the head nurse of the floor. Their faces were inches apart and he could tell that in his friends’ condition the floor nurse was winning the battle. “H, I brought Ellen here. So let this nurse go and do whatever else needs to be done other that argue with you.” Both Horatio and the nurse seemed only to turn their heads to look at him. They site would have made Frank laugh had not the circumstances been what they were. He had never seen Horatio angry.
Ellen slipped out of Frank’s protective hold and made it to the side of the bed. As the nurse took a step back she fell into Horatio’s arms. “He took her. Oh, Horatio he took my baby.” She began to weep. Horatio held her while she wept.
The head nurse started to say something about Horatio being in traction and Ellen leaning on the patient was counter acting the tension wires. Before she got a word out, Frank had her by the arm and was pulling her out the door. When they were outside he told the nurse to give them a few minutes before telling Ellen to let Horatio go back to laying there in traction.
Inside the room Ellen’s sobs were subsiding and Horatio began to feel he could do more to comfort her than hold her. She pulled back and looked into his eyes. It was as if a thunder bolt hit both of them. “How did this happen?” She asked him.
He pushed a strand of her brown hair back away from her tear stained face. Cupping her head in his left hand he pulled her into him and kissed her gently on the lips. Then her lips parted and he felt the strong desire that she had. He knew what he felt for her was more than that of protecting her as a victim. He pulled back and gazed into her eyes for just a brief moment. Then her arms tightened around him. “Love comes into your life when it least is expected.” They held onto each other not saying anything for a few minutes. “I promise you, Ellen; that I will get Josey back. I will make it my mission in life to track down Justin and bring him to justice and get our Josey back.”

just because they have admitted to there feelings for one another doesn't mean they will jump in bed together in the next chapter. Besides H is in traction. He can't do much right now.

That doesn't matter..... It could take them years to get into bed together... All that matters is that H loves Ellen - and Kate HAS to do her forfeit.....
Lucy
PS.... H seems to be falling in love with a lot of ladies at the moment.... Maybe I should jump on a plane to Miami...
