great chapter. Horatio must have been distracted by his thoughts to not notice that he was being followed. That could be dangerous. I hope that Mich can do something about the Lynx before she hurts Horatio.

Oh no, Horatio is changing things up. This could benefit him but on the other hand, this could hurt him as well. The Lynx could get suspicious. So the Lynx is following him, we knew she was. Will the day crew find the new body? Will Horatio show up? I am on the edge of my chair waiting for the next chapter.....
Glad to see Mich opening up more to Horatio. Didn't think Horatio would sit back and let someone else be his savour, not in his blood LOL...

Well the lynx is on to Horatio's change of routine , but so is Horatio on to her with the help of Mich so I think we are now in for a real cat and mouse game. The lynx, if as clever as we assume she is, then she is bound to realise they are on to her.
Great chapter Lucy.

So....she's starting to shadow him...That's not good. Hopefully, between Mich and the team, they can keep Horatio protected, at least until they get the Lynx. I think this time, Mich will get her woman.
Great chapter, Lucy. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Chapter 47
Horatio was surprised to find Mich waiting for him in his office considering it was a Saturday, but by the look on her face knew that it was important.
“What’s up?”
“My old supervisor called. He’s found something that we can use in our case against the Lynx.”
“So have I.”
Horatio turned to see that Calleigh had followed him in through the door. “Ok, you first Cal.”
“We’ve got another DB… Same territory, same gang… Different MO.”
Mich’s head snapped around from where she had been looking out of the window. “d**n.”
Calleigh was confused, “Isn’t it good news?”
Mich shrugged her shoulders, “I was hoping she would move into a new territory – now we have to wait for her to kill again before I know where she’s working.” She gave Calleigh a smile, “What did she use this time?”
“Poisoned dart. Is it her?”
The colour drained from Mich’s face giving the CSI the answer she needed, “Yes, it’s her favourite weapon, a short range crossbow. The poison is instantly lethal – if you test it, it’s some kind of neuro-toxin. That crossbow is only accurate up to 30m, so it’s dangerous to use in a crowd.”
Horatio pulled a face, “Meaning the wrong person might get killed?”
Mich nodded, “It might sound strange Horatio – but we assassins tend to take pride in our work. The quicker and cleaner the kill – the better we are – especially if we can do it silently.” She chuckled quietly, “The K & R specialist Gaby has the most suitable weapon of all - the combat bow is the best for all kinds of work. The only downside is that it’s awkward to carry in an urban environment, and arrows don’t go through windows.”
Calleigh raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “Unless it has a small warhead attached, or a bullet tip.”
Mich laughed, “True – but both of those are a little noisy for my kind of work.”
Horatio shook his head and grinned at the two women, he doubted if there were many like them around. Most ‘ordinary’ women would prefer to talk about fashion, furnishings and gossip about who was dating who – but that was a sure fire way to make Mich and Calleigh switch off. However, mention any kind of weapon and the two of them would light up like Christmas trees.
“Are you two sure you weren’t Amazon warriors in a previous life?”
Calleigh returned her bosses grin, “Well, you know, I hadn’t considered that possibility – we both ride, which was a pre-requisite for an Amazon too. Mind you, I don’t think I could go along with the whole cutting off a breast thing. I happen to like my body as it is.”
The three of them roared with laughter for a moment before Calleigh continued in a more sombre tone. “So what did your contact tell you about the Lynx Mich, can we use it?”
The moment of fun over, her voice became quiet, “For some reason, the number 17 is important to the Lynx. Each time she’s built towards a target, she’s either killed 17 or killed the final target on the 17th of the month.”
Horatio frowned, “Is her main target one of the seventeen?” Mich nodded, eliciting a curse from him. “We have ten dead men and today is the third of the month…”
Calleigh looked worried, “We’re running out of time.”
Mich became a little angry, “and I have two territories to try and cover looking for her. When she kills tonight, I’ll have a smaller area.”
Calleigh narrowed her eyes a little, “Actually Mich, I think you’ll only have one. So far she’s killed in overlapping territories – so I don’t think she’ll change.”
Mich acknowledged the possibility, “Anything else that might help that idea?”
Calleigh gave a cruel smile, “The last territory is the closest to the PD…”
Mich’s eyes changed before Horatio could say anything, “May I borrow your AV lab honey? I need to make some plans…”
Calleigh smiled, “You’ll need to be accompanied into that lab Mich… Need any help?”
Horatio raised his eyes heavenward, half of him fearful, but the other half knowing that the two of them would figure this out very quickly if they worked together. Calleigh’s friendship would also help Mich to keep calm.
“Go… If history is anything to go by, people getting in the way of the Amazons were in serious trouble – I hope that works for us too.”
As the two of them left and made their way purposely down the corridor, he hoped history would be repeating itself.

They all know they need each other to find The Lynx and get her off the streets..........Mich and Calleigh working together.....that sounds like a good team. Don't worry about the updates not being frequently at the moment, take the time you need. Sandra |

Lucy what happened to the rest of the pages on this part of the story. Did someone when they redid the csifiles site accidently erase some of the pages. There are at least 7 chapters missing.
