Good boy Kyle.....I'm sure he'll be there for his sisters whenever they need him. No-one dares touching the girls or they'll find Kyle in their way to protect his sisters....... Sandra

this next chapter is mainly based around kyle! also, in my first story you heard about how hugh ended up in a wheelchair from anna's point of view but in this chap, you hear it from hugh's point of view after curiousity gets the better of kyle!
enjoy!
luv sam x
“Shall I get the pram out, Calleigh?” “That would be great thank you. It’s in the closet under the stairs.” Kyle brought it out and tried to put it up. “Would you like a hand mate?” offered Hugh. “Yes please,” Kyle was relieved. Eventually, they both got it up. Calleigh and Anna put the twins in the double pram and fastened them in. “I’ll just get their diaper bags then we’ll be off,” Calleigh picked up two bags and put them on the pram. “Is it okay if I push the pram?” Kyle looked at Calleigh. “Sure thing Kyle, it’ll give me a break,” Calleigh was shocked but pleased that Kyle wanted to get involved. They left the house and walked down to the park, with Kyle pushing the twins and Anna pushing Hugh with Chloe on his lap.
When they reached the park, Chloe squealed with delight. She couldn’t wait to go and play. Anna took her off Hugh’s lap and took her to play. “Anna will be there for a while with her, Chloe’s has too much energy for my liking,” Hugh stretched in his chair and wheeled himself towards the bench in the shade. Kyle followed him with Calleigh. Daisy Jo had fallen asleep but Donna was very hyper. Calleigh took Donna out of the pram, “I’ll take her on the park, are you two okay here?” Hugh and Kyle nodded so Calleigh took Donna on the park.
Kyle fidgeted slightly, Hugh noticed and asked him if anything was wrong. “I don’t mean to be rude but can I ask how you ended up in the chair? Dad didn’t mention that you were erm…” “Disabled?” Hugh finished off his sentence. “Erm yeah, sorry I shouldn’t ask.” Hugh smiled at the curious young man, “don’t worry about it, I don’t mind telling you. I just don’t tell many people as I hate it when people start apologizing and start treating me differently.” “Oh right, if you don’t want to tell me that’s okay, I was just curious.” “Seeing as you asked nicely I’ll tell you,” Hugh smiled slightly, “I was on leave from the army. I had just returned from Iraq on leave and I had to go to the bank to pay some bills. There was a bank robbery and when I didn’t co-operate with the robbers, one of them shot me in my back. When I was told that I would be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, I was devastated! The only life I knew was the army, it took a long time for it to sink in that I would not be able to go back to my old life in the army. I was discharged from the army on medical terms.” Kyle was stunned, he didn’t know what to say, “was that before or after Chloe was born?” “Before, Anna had been organising the house to be converted to accommodate me to make the house wheelchair friendly when your dad and Calleigh came to London on a case.” “I remember that, wasn’t that when dad and Calleigh got together?” “Yes it was, it was also the same time that we told them that Anna was pregnant.” “Can I just ask you something else?” “Yeah go ahead.” “What were the salsa classes all about? Alexx told me about how she found out about dad and Calleigh. Apparently dad kept saying something about salsa classes.” Hugh laughed, “oh that! We all went to salsa class one night. Anna is one of the teachers and I play the guitar there. Calleigh joined in but your dad chickened out at the last minute. Anna noticed your dad looking at Calleigh in admiration. She tried to convince your dad to tell Calleigh how he felt but he wouldn’t.” Kyle chuckled, “that’s the Caine gene kicking in there, us Caine’s aren’t very good at saying how we feel.” “I noticed, but your dad took Calleigh on the London Eye and they got together on there. Not sure how as they didn’t give details…” “I don’t think I want details, this is my dad we’re talking about.” “I wouldn’t want to know either if it was my dad but they never told us what happened. Anna thought it was sweet and cute, she got very excited. Then we told Calleigh and your dad at an evening meal in a restaurant that we were expecting our first child.” Calleigh came over to the pram with Donna and took out the diaper bag. “Is everything okay?” Kyle stood up to see if he could help. “Yeah I just got to change Donna’s diaper. It smells really bad, do you fancy doing it?” Kyle quickly shook his head and sat down, “no thanks, feeding I can just about deal with but diapers, no I don’t think so.” Hugh and Calleigh laughed, “don’t worry about it Kyle, I’ll do it, I was just messing with you,” Calleigh held Donna in one arm whilst she got out a towel to put on the ground then laid Donna on it. Although Donna wouldn’t co-operate, Calleigh managed to change her. She handed Donna to Hugh, “just hold your god-daughter please. I’ve just got to check Daisy Jo.” Calleigh moved Daisy’s leg up to check to see if her diaper was full. Sure enough, it was. When Calleigh took her out of the pram, Daisy wasn’t too happy about being woken up but her diaper needed changing so Calleigh changed it. “Hey Kyle, did you want to take Donna on the park whilst I finish off here. I’ll bring Daisy Jo over when I’m sorted.” Kyle excitedly nodded, “sure, I would love to.” Hugh handed Donna to Kyle who took her on the park with Anna and Chloe. He sat on the swing with Donna on his lap, went down the slide with her and played in the sand which Donna found highly amusing, especially when Kyle made funny faces and strange noises whilst he pretended to be a sand monster. This sent Chloe crazy, she was running around after Kyle who in turn chased her and pretended to eat her. Kyle tried to include Donna and Daisy by pretending to eat their fingers when they were sat in their pram. On the way home, Chloe didn’t want to ride with her daddy, she wanted to hold Kyle's hand all the way back. Calleigh pushed the twins whilst Anna pushed Hugh in his chair.

This is great Sam. Lovely chapter. Nice that Kyle was able to talk to Hugh. Also nice that he was able to mix in with the children. Horatio will be pleased when Calleigh tells him how well Kyle performed today.

Oh, yeah. Kyle did great with his little sisters, and also with Chloe. He did rather well at asking Hugh about his chair, too.
Great chapter, Sam. Can't wait to see where you take it next.

im glad you liked kyles interaction with the children and also him asking hugh about his chair!
now we're back at the lab! eric is still asking questions about ryan and natalia! enjoy!
luv sam x
In the lab, Natalia was working her solo case. It was a robbery in a jewellery store where the cashier was shot but survived. She’d been to the hospital to interview the cashier but didn’t get much from her. She looked at the photos from the crime scene and the stills from the security tape. Nothing really stood out to her. “Natalia.” She turned round to be met by Eric, “what do you want? I’m trying to solve a case here.” “Just come to see if you’re okay.” “I’m good. I heard about yours and Ryan's hangover cure. Did it work?” Natalia tried to hold back her laughter. “How did you find out about that?” “A certain little birdie told me.” Eric became suspicious, “would that little birdie be Alexx by any chance?” Natalia couldn’t contain her laughter and started to giggle, “mhmm, I just wished I was there to see your faces.” “I’m sure Alexx would have taken a picture if she had a camera to hand. Anyway, what happened between you and Ryan last night?” “I take it he won’t tell you?” Eric shook his head, “no he won’t, how did you know?” “Well, he’s not telling you so you’ve come to me instead.” Eric was silent, he was kind of hoping Natalia would be slightly hungover, just enough to get information from her, “so your not going to tell me then?” “Nope.” “Aren’t you feeling rough? You don’t like you’ve spent the night on the town.” “I don’t get hangovers, also the wonders of make-up help me along nicely. Now if you don’t mind, I have work to do and I’m sure you do too, see you later.” Eric left to find Ryan a bit disappointed. He then realised that Alexx may know so he made a detour.
Alexx was just tidying up the morgue when Eric arrived. “Hey baby, I haven’t got anything else for you on your decomp.” “I’m not here for that.” “Oh? What can I do for you then?” “Has Ryan or Natalia spoken to you about last night?” “No, why? Should they have?” Eric looked a bit disappointed, “I thought one of them might have said something.” Alexx looked confused. “We went out after we left Horatio and Calleigh’s. When we went to go home, Ryan and Natalia had disappeared. So me and Suze got a cab back to mine. Neither of them was answering their phones.” “And? What’s wrong with that? Ryan was probably being the gent and taking Natalia home.” “Well yeah, but they were dancing together all night. I think something happened between them.” Alexx smiled, “I think you’re letting you’re imagination run away with you.” Eric persisted, “if it was all innocent, then why won’t either of them say that nothing happened. They both are just saying that they’re not going to tell me what happened. So obviously something did.” Alexx just shook her head, “I think you’re making something out of nothing. You know they’re good friends. I’ll admit that they do flirt with each other a lot but that’s just harmless fun. Nothing wrong with that.” Eric had a feeling that Alexx knew more than she was letting on but he knew that getting secrets out of Alexx was like getting blood out of a stone, impossible. “Fine, I’ll just have to figure it out myself.” Alexx smiled and shook her head as Eric left the morgue.
Horatio and Ryan were in trace waiting for results from the substance found on the inside of the trunk where the decomp was found. “Eric’s been asking me questions.” Horatio smiled, “has he figured anything out yet?” Ryan shook his head, “no, he thinks that something happened between me and Natalia last night when we left Eric and Suze early.” Horatio laughed slightly, “knowing what his mind is like, I can imagine.” The computer beeped at them and spat out the results. Horatio picked them up and read them. “It’s a pollen from a flower. Mister Wolfe, can run this through the database to see if we can narrow it down to the species.” Ryan ran the database as requested.
Frank knocked on Natalia’s lab door, “Natalia, there’s someone here to see you.” “Oh? Any idea who?” “A lady called Alice Cordia. She said that it’s to do with the robbery this morning.” Natalia quickly gathered her evidence together and put it away then followed Frank. In reception, there was a middle aged woman sat in the waiting room. Natalia approached her, “ma’am, I’m Natalia Boa Vista, C.S.I and this is Detective Frank Tripp,” she gestured towards Frank. “Are you investigating the robbery from this morning?” Natalia nodded, “yes ma’am we are. Do you have any information for us?” The lady nodded, “I think I know who did the robbery but I want to remain anonymous.” Natalia and Frank’s attention was fully on this woman and took her to an interview room where it was quieter. “The reason I want remain anonymous is because it’s my son, Devlyn. I went into his room to sort out washing and I found a bag under his bed. It felt heavy so I opened it to see what it was and I found a gun and a load of ladies jewellery.” “Ma’am, did you touch anything inside it?” “No, I fastened the bag up, put it back under his bed and told him that I was going to my sisters for a drink. I came straight here.” Natalia turned to Frank, “if Alice wants to remain anonymous, do we need a warrant to search his room?” “No we don’t as I’m sure Ms. Cordia would give us permission to search his room, but we should get one so he doesn’t get suspicious as to who tipped us off. I’ll get on it straight away,” Frank left the room to get the warrant issued and to sort out back-up.
Natalia looked at Alice, “can you go and wait at your sister’s place while we do this? If you want to remain anonymous then we can’t risk Devlyn seeing you here. I will call you when we have him here, okay?” Alice nodded, “that’s fine, I’ll leave you her number so you can contact me,” she took a pen and some paper from her purse and scribbled down a number. She then handed the paper to Natalia who thanked her for her co-operation.

Hmm I doubt that something happened between Ryan and Natalia, at least not the way Eric is thinking. But I do believe that they share a secret.. well... the whole team does apparently, since Horatio and Alexx seem to know something.
Maybe it's a surprise for Eric and Suze... you never know.
Great last chapters Sam, I'm sorry that I didn't reply earlier. I'm glad to see that Kyle seems to come around and rethinks his behaviour towards Horatio and the other part of his family in fact. It's a good thing that he seems to have inherited a lot of things from Horatio, so the future is looking good for all of them. I definitely wouldn't mind to see a father/son scene though. Just the two male Caines together, talking about this and that...
Anyway, I really like this story and will patiently wait for the next installment.

sorry im late putting this up, i have been in bed feeling ill and been in alot of pain for most of the day but im feeling better now after a couple of hours of sleep! i was supposed to be taking alisha swimming today but i have promised to take her tomorrow instead! anyway, heres the next chap for you to enjoy! luv sam x
Frank and Natalia arrive at the Cordia house with a couple of officers in tow. Frank told the officers to cover the back in case he decided to run for it. Natalia knocked on the door and a lad in his twenties opened the door. “Devlyn?” Frank asked. He nodded, “yeah, who’s asking?” “I’m Detective Tripp and this is C.S.I Boa Vista, we have a search warrant…” Frank hadn’t even finished when Devlyn bolted for the back door. Frank reached for his gun and ran after him. He caught up with Devlyn as he was trying to unlock the back door. “Why do they always have to make me run?” Frank put his gun back in the holster and brought Devlyn back into the lounge and sat him down on the sofa. Natalia approached Devlyn and handed him the search warrant, “I think I’ll start in your bedroom.” Natalia went up the stairs to look for Devlyn’s room. When she found it and walked in, it was a typical lad’s bedroom with posters of half naked women on his walls and the room wasn’t very tidy either. She went straight to the bed and looked under it. As Alice had said, there was a hold-all stashed under there. Natalia pulled it out and opened it up. She found about half the stolen jewels and a pistol. She zipped it back up and went back downstairs. “Hey Frank,” Natalia caught Frank’s attention and showed him the bag, “I got what I need.” Frank stood Devlyn up, read him his rights and led him a waiting police cruiser outside.
Back at the lab, Natalia took the pistol to ballistics, after she’d processed it for prints and G.S.R. Paul, who was covering Calleigh’s maternity leave, took the pistol from Natalia for analysis. “A Smith and Wesson pistol, SW1911 model. Nice,” Paul examined the pistol. “Can you compare it to the round from the cashier?” “I’ll do my best,” Paul proceeded. “I found G.S.R on it so we know it was fired recently, along with some juicy prints.” “So you have a suspect?” “As a matter of fact, yes I do and Frank has him in holding so I need this doing as soon as you can please.” “Consider it done.”
Eric found Horatio and Ryan in the lab searching through dental records to see try and find the identity of male decomp. “H, any luck?” Horatio shook his head, “we’re searching the dental database.” Ryan looked up, “the trace we found in the trunk is pollen and we’re running that now.” One of the computers beeped, Ryan turned the screen round to show Eric, “it looks like we’ve found our plant.” Eric read the screen, “nepeta, otherwise known as catnip. That doesn’t narrow down anything, it’s classed as a weed and is very common.” Horatio thought for a second, maybe the victim’s clothes held some answers. “Eric, where are the clothes from the victim?” Eric looked in the evidence box on the table and took out the polythene bag which contained the clothes. Horatio watched Eric as he took the bag put of the box, “can you see if you can find anything else on them?” “Like anymore pollen?” Horatio nodded. “Sure H, I’ll let you know if I find anything,” Eric left the room to process the clothes. Horatio was about to leave when the dental search came up with the results the needed. Ryan printed off the profile, “he’s an ex-con H. He was in Miami-Dade Correction and Rehabilitation Facility. He was in for sexual assault but was released early on good behaviour about two months ago. His name is Jason Daley.” Horatio lifted his eyebrows, “an ex-con? Do you have a name on the victim?” “Yeah, Tracey Tillidge,” Ryan was shocked, “isn’t that the same surname of Steve from the case that got Jake and Stetler in trouble a couple of years ago?” “It is Mister Wolfe,” Horatio looked up Steve Tillidge on the computer. As his profile came up, he took note of Steve’s immediate family. A sister, named Tracey. He checked for Tracey’s whereabouts on the database but came to a dead end, his face dropped slightly. “What’s wrong H?” “Tracey committed suicide a week before Daley was released.” “Maybe she found out that Daley was coming out and couldn’t face the prospect of bumping into him?” “Maybe, and maybe Mr Tillidge blamed Daley for her death. They were both in the same correctional facility and Tillidge would know who he was.” Ryan looked at Horatio and knew exactly what he was thinking, “does this mean Tillidge will get a personal visit?” Horatio put on his shades, “yes it does,” with that he left to pay a visit to Tillidge.
Horatio arrived at the Miami-Dade Correction and Rehabilitation Facility, just as he about to enter the building when his phone rang. He looked at the caller I.D, it was Ryan. “Mister Wolfe… what do you have for me?” “Daley worked at the Oleta River State Park as a park keeper. I rang the park centre and they confirmed that nepeta grows in the park.” “Can you please take Eric down there and take a look around?” “We’re already on our way.” “Thank you Mister Wolfe, keep me informed,” Horatio hung up and entered the building, clutching a file.
