Chapter 1: Mousetrap

Ryan nearly dropped dead right then and there. This man wouldn't stop! Such a burden that wouldn't get off his shoulders, hands pulling him down. He stared blankly at that piece of paper that started to spin his world in circles in just seconds. His eyes not delivering any emotion but pure emptiness, black abyss of nothingness. He instantly came back to reality. Realizing how much trouble Natalia was, all of a sudden, in. He swallowed thickly enough for someone to believe he had a yarn ball caught in his throat. He felt like throwing up, nausea seizing him, but he kept his composure. He took a profound breath and began rambling towards Horatio's office.

Thoughts fastened themselves around his mind like a snake fastening around its prey. Slowly yet harshly killing it, these thoughts were killing him. 'Where's Nat? Is she ok? Where is she!' he started walking faster at the mere thought of something worse. No, that would be impossible; she is here somewhere in the lab so she is ok. "H, you need to see this." Ryan demanded breathlessly.

X*X*X*X*X

Horatio knew Ryan. He knew that Ryan didn't ask for any help, but seeing him as wide eyed and alert as that he knew something was definitely wrong.

"Mr. Wolfe, what's wrong?" Horatio articulated with concern clearly being heard in his tone.

"Read this." Ryan said sternly. "Do you know where Natalia is?" he added

"Yes, she's in ballistics with Mrs. Duquesne." Horatio meekly whispered inspecting the letter as if there was something hidden, something that a glance does not capture.

Ryan hurriedly ran too ballistics. Relief engulfed him when he saw Natalia delightfully chatting with Calleigh. Her most impeccable complexion, glimmering eyes and cutest smile….he nearly forgot about the whole situation. He actually felt a bit foolish for reacting the way he did.

Natalia looked over to Ryan, noting his overwhelmed expression. "You ok, Rye?" She questioned with a hint of trepidation.

"Uh…" Ryan didn't have enough time to finish his sentence as Horatio almost immediately jumped in.

"Mrs. Boa Vista, I need you to red this."

Natalia look side to side t both of the men, with dread slightly overcoming her, peaking over her shoulder. She took the document. She read with no feeling, almost as if she was under a dark spell not being able to respond. She took a shaky breath.

"Natalia this is a threat on your life, I hope you understand that you need to be under some type of protection." Horatio said shooing away the tension that had filled the room.

"Guys, what's going on?" Calleigh asked making her way to them.

"There seems to be a hit on Natalia, now I believe for the safety of this department I want to keep this between the team and me. You got that? You understand that, right, Mr. Wolfe?"

"Uh, Yeah." Ryan doubtfully uttered. He hated the fact that this meant Natalia wasn't going to get the protection he wanted her under. Gosh, he would have hired the whole swat team to keep an eye on her. Maybe even some personal body guards. But he understood Horatio under the circumstances.

"Alright lets get to work, Ill get the word out to Walter and Eric, Calleigh maybe you can find some probable fingerprints on this. Mr. Wolfe come with me," Horatio commanded.

"Mr. Wolfe I want you to know that I trust you with this task, and that Natalia does too. I want you to have an eye on her. Where she goes you're there too."

"Yeah ok H."

Ryan was glad that Horatio assigned that job for him, but it didn't wash out the fear of something horrible happening to Natalia. This was all his fault! If he didn't do what he did this probably wouldn't have happened. But what did he do? Was it just because he was breathing that Natalia's life was now put on the line? Maybe if he just died it would all go away. No, he couldn't think like that. Natalia would never forgive him, and anyways he loved her too much to leave her.

The man was sweating profusely, smiling at the scene that was playing out before him. Ryan had fallen right into his trap, a mouse who fell for the cheese
