Hey everyone! This is Trisha. This fanfic should be very long… It's main pairs are E/C, and H/Y with a little side of R/N… Oh, Speed never died, Alexx never left, and Dr. Price doesn't exist. But, Ryan still joins the team. Got that? Please give us some advice on how to continue this. Any feedback would be great! Overall rating will be teen. Thanks! P.S. Bob Cherino was just a guy we made up. He was originally in a gang for an assignment, and he could never shake off the way he talks... Oh well. :)

Chapter 1 - Horatio Gets A Call Setting – 2 A.M. Horatio's House
It had been a long day at work for Horatio, who only got home an hour ago. But as he chatted with Yelina, about anything and everything, he felt his work day slip away. Apparently, she had just gotten off work, too, considering she was still dressed in her work clothes, like Horatio.
"So, how's Ray Jr.?"
Yelina sighed, "He's fine, but we're still trying to deal with the loss of Ra-"
*Ring~ Ring~*
Horatio sighed as he looked at the caller ID on his cell phone, "Sorry, would you excuse me? I have to take this."
"Yeah, sure."
Horatio nodded in thanks as he stood up and walked to the kitchen before answering his cell.
"Hello, this is Horatio Caine. How can I assist you?"
"Yo, Caine. This is Bob Cherino, from the night shift."
"Well then, Mr. Cherino, what is it that you need?"
"Yeah, well, sorry to ask you this man. But I was hopin' you and yo team could take over this one case we got. It's to complicated for us and makes absolutely no sense at all. Ya hear?"
Horatio gave a slight chuckle and answered, "Do you know what time it is?"
"Yeah, I do. But, Caine, man, please take this. My team's already in way over 'dem heads."
"Alright. When should I have my team assembled by?"
"Whenever, dog."
Horatio then hung up, replaced his cell phone back into his pocket, and moved back to the living room, where Yelina was waiting. "I'm sorry, Yelina. It appears I have a case I need to take care of as soon as possible."
Yelina nodded and stood up, "Okay, I should probably get going, anyway."
Horatio grabbed his keys, his sunglasses, their jackets, and handed Yelina hers. He then opened the door, letting Yelina through, and proceeded to follow her out. He locked the door and turned towards the parking lot.
"Okay," Horatio placed his sunglasses on, while putting his hands on his hips, "Lets go."
Horatio then started to walk to Yelina's car, but was stopped, "You do know it's dark out, right?"
Horatio looked around, "I see." He then pulled off his sunglasses with a slight head turn, "I knew that." He put his sunglasses away and went back to walking as if nothing happened, leaving Yelina giggling as she followed. He stepped to the side of her car as Yelina stood beside him, hesitating to say something.
"So, do you think, umm.. Maybe we could hang out sometime?"
"Uhh. Sure. When would you like to come over?"
"Is Friday night okay? Ray Jr. is going to a sleepover."
"Of course. See you then."
Yelina gave him a kiss on the cheek and watched as Horatio smiled.
"What was that for?"
"Everything. I should get going. See you Friday?"
"Yeah… Drive safe."
