Lisette glanced up at Calliope, disbelief etched across her face.

"Are you out of your mind?" Horatio snapped, his brow furrowed. "I don't need your help, Calliope! Lisette, get up. I'll be fine. It's not like she's the only one who knows where the Miracle Doctor is. If we're willing to pay, we'll find her eventually."
