Shards of Glass
Chapter 4
Horatio pushed open the door to the stairwell and walked inside. Instead of letting the door slam behind him, he held on to the handle and let it close with a soft click. There was a faint hum from the florescent light above him, but otherwise the stairwell was quiet. He headed upward, taking his time. After climbing a few flights, he spotted a figure curled up tightly and leaning against the wall. He stopped in his tracks and sat down on the nearest step.
"Rebekah?" His voice was soft.
The figure didn't move.
"Rebekah?" Horatio tried again.
This time a head moved, slowly peering out from its protective shell.
Horatio cocked his head. "Hi."
Staring blankly, she sniffled and shifted her body. "Hi."
He could see a tear-stained face marred with bruising and red marks. "People have been looking for you." He said gently. Her hair was a mess and her clothing was in disarray.
Rebekah looked up at him and nodded once. "You found me."
"I did." Horatio replied, a hint of a smile on his face.
"I'm late for my shift, aren't I?" She asked.
"Sweetheart, I don't want you to worry about that, okay?"
She nodded, wiping tears from her bruised face. "I...errr...someone...attacked me." She choked. Her head was still pounding and it was hard to focus on anything.
"I know. And we will take care of that. Right now, I want you to sit tight until we get you checked out by a doctor." Horatio flipped open his phone. "Calleigh, will you meet me in the west stairwell? I think I have found what you were looking for."
"I'll be right there." Calleigh replied.
Horatio closed his phone. "Rebekah, we're going to take you to the hospital, okay?"
She nodded again, keeping her eyes on him. "I don't remember what happened." She sobbed.
"Don’t worry about that. It’s not important. What is important is making sure you are okay." Horatio replied, his face filled with compassion.
A door below them opened, startling Rebekah and making her cower even more into the corner.
"Horatio?" A southern accent echoed from the floor below.
"Up here, Calleigh." He replied.
Shuffling footsteps, and a few moments later, Calleigh was squatting down in front of Rebekah.
"What happened to you?" She murmured.
Rebekah looked up at her, but didn't respond. A hand appeared into her field of vision and she cautiously took it. Her muscles protested as she was hoisted to her feet. She kept an arm wrapped tightly around her chest, holding her torn shirt.
Horatio took off his jacket and placed it around Rebekah’s shoulders. “Calleigh is going to take good care of you, okay?” He watched as Calleigh helped Rebekah down the stairs.
With that taken care of, Horatio turned his attention to the next stage of the case.
Locating the crime scene and collecting evidence.
