It sounds like they got quite a bit to work with at the lab, let's hope it actually pans out to be something.
Great chapter, Sam. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Okay.. they got a lot of information which is always good. I'm sure "Ron" knows more about the whole incident than he's saying..but then again, such people always know about such things..especially if they had something to do with it. LOL Just wild guessing here.
I still wonder how they knew that they were cops. So here's my question for you Sam... Dammo doesn't work as a police officer in New York any longer, does he? I can't remember exactly..hmm..sorry for that.. but I hope you can answer my question. Because if he is working in NY then it's easy for them to know..but if he doesn't..it makes it a bit more complicated.
Great chapters.

Calleigh and Horatio took Natalia to see Damien. As she looked through the window, she didn’t like what she saw. She put her hand over her mouth and started to cry again.
“Can I go in?”
Calleigh looked at Horatio who put a hand on Natalia’s shoulder, “just for a while, the doctor says he needs rest.”
Natalia acknowledged what Horatio had said and gingerly opened the door. As the door opened, Damien opened his eyes and saw Natalia walking in. He gave her a slight smile.
“Natalia, are you okay?”
Natalia sat next to Damien as Horatio and Calleigh stood at the end of the bed.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry.”
Damien reached for Natalia’s hand, “you’ve got nothing to be sorry about. You didn’t do anything.”
“I should have listened to you. You wouldn’t be here if I had.”
“Nat, I don’t want you to blame yourself. If it wasn’t us, it would have been the next person. They were going to do this to someone anyway.”
This didn’t make it easier for Natalia, she still couldn’t help feeling responsible in some way. Damien looked at Horatio.
“Did they say when I’d get out of this god forsaken place?”
“No they didn’t. They need to do some more x-rays on your left wrist and foot. It’s too swollen to do anything. We will see how it goes tomorrow.”
Damien wasn’t used to being restricted to a hospital bed, he wanted out, “looks like I’m being held against my will then.”
Horatio smiled, “I know you don’t like it but you have got to take it easy for the next few weeks. Ever heard of ‘you’ve got to learn to walk before you run’?”
“Horatio’s right Damien, you need to take it easy,” Natalia agreed with Horatio.
Damien looked at Calleigh, “Cal?”
“Hey, don’t you be bringing me into this. But for the record, they are right.”
Damien’s face dropped, “out-numbered again.”
Natalia smiled. Damien noticed, “that’s better. I love to see that smile.”
Natalia stroked his hair, “I know.”
Horatio’s phone rang, everyone looked towards him, “excuse me,” he left the room to answer it.
“Lieutenant Caine.”
“Horatio, it’s Mac. We may have something from the surveillance footage we got from the liquor and grocery stores opposite.”
“Really?”
“We’ve also run background checks on a couple of people and I think you need to come have a look.”
“Okay, I’m on my way.”
Horatio hung up and went into the room, “Mac may have some leads. He’s asked me to come in.”
“Do you want me to come with you?” Calleigh asked.
“That’s up to you sweetheart.”
Calleigh looked at Natalia, “are you going to be okay now?”
Natalia nodded, “I’ll be fine. I know where my room is in case I need it. But I think I’ll stay with Damien for a while.”
“Just as long as you’re sure.”
“Cal, we’ll be fine.”
Horatio and Calleigh left Damien and Natalia to each other as they left the hospital for the lab.
(BTW tomorrow, you will find out about this Ron and his 'connection' to Damien)

Mmm...that will be interesting to know.......so we do have a connection then? Nice that Natalia was finally allowed to see Damien and hopefully she will start to stop blaming herself now.
Great chapter Sam.

Mhm I'm certainly waiting to find out what connection Damien and Ron have. Maybe Damien ruined a nice coup or something.. who knows.
So Nat can smile a little, that's very good. Of course she'd blame herself, everyone would, but it's good that Damien isn't blaming her at all, just like Horatio and Calleigh.
Good chapter, Sam.. definitely looking forward to the next one.

In the lab, Mac and Adam were trying to get clear close up of one of the suspects from the surveillance footage. Horatio and Calleigh walked in.
“So what do you have for me Mac?”
“This is the footage from the grocery store. We have a profile view of one of the suspects which we’re trying to clean up.”
“What about these background checks you told me about?”
“I gave Flack a list of names including the barmaid from Lace, Kelsey Sim. She told me that her abusive ex was there and saw her walking past. So we looked at the footage and this is what we got,” Mac pointed toward Kelsey walking past, “there she is. We suspect that this is the guy who looked towards her,” he pointed to the man that they were trying to get a clear picture of, “the one with a prison tattoo on his right arm just there,” showing Horatio the tattooed man in question, “Adam is just going to run the profile through the system now.”
As they were talking, Adam had the computer working on the profile.
“Anything else?”
“Actually Horatio, there is. There is another new club round the corner called Class. The manager wouldn’t give us his full name so we did a little bit of digging. It turns out that you both have had him in on more than one occasion back in Miami.”
Horatio and Calleigh were intrigued, “really? Who is it?” Calleigh was curious.
“Ron Saris.”
Horatio’s eyes widened, “yes we know Ron very well.”
Calleigh looked confused, “do you think Ron had something to do with the attack?”
“When we questioned him, he seemed to be holding back on something, besides his last name.”
“If he has a record, he wouldn’t be able to own such an establishment. Someone would have to be his partner so he can get a licence,” Calleigh’s brain was going into CSI mode.
“That’s what I thought. So I looked a bit deeper and he does have a business partner. She goes by the name of Julia Winston.”
Horatio shifted a little and tilted his head slightly, “I know Julia very well.”
“I didn’t realise she was still in contact with him.”
“Neither did I Calleigh, neither did I.”
“Can someone explain what the connection is please?”
“Well Mac, Julia is the mother of my son. Ron was married to Julia. She swore that she didn’t know of his whereabouts.”
“Seems to me that she knows more than she was letting on,” Mac was even more intrigued by this connection.
“Wait a minute,” Calleigh interrupted, “I’ve just realised something. I was at Julia's last week when I picked up Kyle. He let me in the house and I waited in the hall for him to go finish getting himself ready. I was stood right next to Julia’s office when I overheard her on the phone. She was saying something about a new business venture in New York with an ex of hers. I thought nothing of it at the time but now I realise that this ex of hers must have been Ron.”
“Horatio, this could be some sort of revenge against you, you need to be careful,” Mac’s warning worried Horatio.
“I’ve just had a thought about the attack,” Adam interrupted, “what if the attack was supposed to be aimed at Horatio?”
“How did you figure that one Adam?” Mac tried to think about the logic behind Adam’s theory.
“Both Damien and Horatio have the same coloured hair and are about the same height and build. Not to mention the fact that both of their last names are Caine. Saris may have spies all over New York and thought that Damien was Horatio. When word got back to Saris, he thought he’d take matters into his own hands. It’s just a thought.”
“You might have something there Adam,” Mac was impressed, “do you think this is possible Horatio?”
Horatio nodded, “yes I do. He’s a dangerous man and I have been waiting for him surface in Miami.”
“That could explain why he knew that Damien was a cop. He thought it was you.”
Adam looked at the computer screen, “we have a hit on the profile. It’s a Colin Sellars. Get this, he works at Class as a security guard. He has previous for domestic violence.”
“That will be Kelsey’s ex boyfriend,” confirmed Mac, “I’ll get Flack to bring in Ron and Colin.”
“I’ll contact Julia,” Horatio got out his mobile from his pocket and dialled a number.

OMG! I knew this Ron character was a jerk. So it's Ron and Julia is right by his side! Horatio go get them and get them both! I bet Ron did think it was Horatio, probably thinks Horatio is the one in the hospital. I would just love to see Ron's expression when he gets eye of Horatio and realizes he has the wrong guy in the hospital LOL..

Ron thinks that Horatio is dead! as does the other suspect, Chad! if you remember, Mac decided to play this investigation as a death and assault of two police officers! can you imagine what Ron's reaction will be when he finds out that a) he's alive and b) Ron got the wrong Caine! just wait until Horatio calls Julia! its not good for Julia! luv sam x

I feel so sorry for Julia. She is very devious, I have never trusted her. Horatio give her a good tongue lashing, and charge her with accessory to assault of a Police officer. That will put her away for awhile, and let her think that she is also accessory to the attempted murder of a police officer. Great chapter keep up the good work.
