excuse me I thought you were the author. Maybe on this board they call it an intimate time between the two. I could be wrong.

Nice chapter, but definitely can feel Horatio's frustration, being kept out of the loop is not a norm for Horatio. He is definitely going to need Mich's strength for this road. Great chapter. Can't wait for more... I hope Mich catches the Lynx soon, Horatio is dying a little more each day, being left in the dark and getting more and more frustrated as time passes....

I'm a little confused, Lucy. When did Horatio, Mich, and the team figure out that the Mala Noches were behind the Lynx? Did she leave something, other than her gear, in the case, or did I miss something?
Other than that, great chapter. Mich and Horatio both feeling frustrated, but for different reasons. Horatio hates, more than anything, to be kept in the dark about something. It goes against everything in him as an investigator, and Mich is doing her best, not only to obey the Chief, but to keep Horatio alive, at any and all costs.
The question now, is, where did the Lynx disappear to? Obviously, she's somewhere in Miami, but somewhere that the team has not searched yet. I know that Miami is a very big haystack, and that the Lynx is a very small needle, but they have to find her, before she has a chance to get to Horatio.
Great chapter, Lucy. Can't wait to see what happens next.

@ Oracle... The team figured it out when Alexx had three DB's on tables in her morgue with the same MO... and Frank found some other similarities... It's quite a few chapters back...

No problem Lucy. We won't go anywhere. Sometimes Real Life is very demanding. Hope the competition goes well for your club and pupils and a safe trip to Libya for your hubby. Sandra

Finally, my workload has eased enough for me to give you another chapter.
Enjoy
Lucy
Chapter 64
The Lynx paced around her motel room gnawing at a finger nail, in a few hours, she would need to get into position, or risk being spotted by the public. However, there were a couple of things on her mind that threatened her whole operation.
Firstly, the inability to clean up after her last kill would undoubtedly cause her future problems. If the slice in her shoulder was anything to go by, and the crime lab was as good as she had heard, then she had to assume that they had her DNA from the material torn from her shirt that would have her blood on it.
Also, the PD might have collected her fingerprints from her former motel room. That in itself was a minor handicap, she had plenty of ways to get in and out of the country without being caught. Though she knew that after Miami, she had better lay low for a while.
Then there was the fact that she had lost her equipment case – some of her tools had been in her possession for many years and losing them was almost like losing a treasured heirloom from a family member.
Last, but by no means least, there was the Wolf…
She sat on the edge of her bed. Her informant had confirmed that the Wolf was retired – had been for several years, so why was she here? The dark haired woman sighed and glanced in the dressing table mirror. For a moment she saw the grey hairs that had started to appear and frowned. Age was catching up with her, but she was determined to keep going. Just two more jobs and she could retire herself.
Glancing at the clock she sighed and got her things together and made her way to her vantage point. By the time she got there, she was exhausted. She hadn’t slept for nearly 24 hours and the painkillers that she had taken to eliminate the pain in her shoulder were also affecting her senses.
What didn’t help was that she hadn’t eaten properly, and had drank only what was necessary for her survival. Used to the conditions, her body would go into shutdown until she required it to move. Taking up her position, she checked the time and smiled softly. She would sleep for as long as her body required, uncomfortable as she was on the rooftop, the ghillie suit reflecting the sunlight.
By sleeping, she would not need to eat or drink until nightfall and the cooler night would help her energy to recharge. Then, the following morning, she would be ready.

Mich took up station in the new AV lab. In her hand a magnifying glass that she had borrowed from Eric scanned the pictures in front of her. The AV tech had shown her how to use the new system, but she preferred the old technique. Digital pictures were great, but occasionally they did not show what she was looking for.
Calleigh had been curious about her earlier request to have aerial photos of all the buildings around the PD, but as was her habit, she had kept things to herself. The blonde ballistics expert had left, a little annoyed at being closed out, but Eric was watching closely from his area and stopped her.
“Why won’t she tell us what she’s looking for? Doesn’t she think we’re good enough to help?”
Eric sighed, “Remember what happened when her friend Thomas was killed?” Calleigh shook her head, it was not a case she had worked on, so she only knew the basic details. “When she and H found his friend Nicki unconscious in the truck, she told H that if we didn’t catch the perp, she would…”
“It’s getting personal…”
Eric gave her a sad smile, “For Mich it’s been personal from the beginning – it’s amazing that she’s allowed us in this much. Even H is stunned by it.”
Calleigh thought about Eric’s point of view and realised that he was right. They both knew that Mich had worked as a lone agent for MI5, though not what her role had been. She returned Eric’s smile with one of her own, “So why did she let us in? Because of H?”
Eric nodded, “Partly… But I think it’s also because we’ve become her family… Somehow we’ve earned her loyalty and trust.”
“But not enough to help her now…”
Eric dropped his head, “I don’t think this is a trust issue for Mich Cal… I think she’s afraid to get us further involved, she doesn’t want us to get hurt.”
Calleigh snorted, “She’s as bad as H…”
Eric chuckled, “Which is why I happen to think they’re just right for each other – especially since they seemed to have sorted things out between themselves.”
The two gave Mich a final glance before carrying on with their work, praying that she would find the answers she was looking for.
