She's back from the dead

Rachel's POV

So here I stand outside Miami Dade Police station looking at the doors. They said she worked here, I don't remember her working here, but then again I don't remember a lot when it comes to her. I took those first few steps towards the door, my friend told me it would get easier the nearer I got but she was wrong, it got harder. I finally stepped out of the elevator, tucked a strand of platinum blonde hair behind my ear and braced myself. I couldn't see her, maybe she was busy. I walked up to the front desk and asked if the lady behind the desk if she knew her. She said she did and that she was out on the field at the moment. She asked if I wanted her to call her for me but I said no. She asked my name, at least I think that's what she said, I couldn't hear her I had too much on my mind. I wondered off to look around, I heard a familiar voice behind me. I quickly looked around and took cover. It was her, she had come back after collecting her evidence. Who was that standing next to her? A tall, dark and handsome Cuban guy stood there listening to every word she said. A piece of hair fell on her face, he extended his arm and pushed it back behind her ear. She blushed ever so slightly but I could still see it and he must have to because he began to laugh. He placed his hand on her shoulder and turned to leave. I had a feeling it was also time for me to go but I couldn't go back down the elevator she'd see me. I decided to take a walk. I turned and left.

Eric's POV

After I brushed Calleigh's hair behind her ear she began to blush, I told her I had to go and process some evidence. I placed my hand on her shoulder and turned to go and that's when I saw her. From the back she looked like Calleigh but I knew it couldn't be because Calleigh was standing next to me. I stood there for a moment trying to process what I had just seen, if I had seen anything, it could just be my mind playing tricks on me again. I felt a warm feeling come over my shoulder and when I turned around I saw Calleigh looking at me with her sad eyes.

"Are you okay?" She whispered ever so slightly but it still sent shivers down my spin.

"Yea." It was all I could mumble. I followed what I thought I had saw to see if it was real.

Calleigh's POV

He turned to leave but froze mid step. He was staring at nothing, just a wall. I placed my hand on his shoulder and he turned to face me, he had a shocked look on his face, like he had just seen a ghost. I asked him if he was okay, he just replied yes and walked away. I watched him walked away, it looked as if he was walking to ballistics. He said he needed to process evidence, any ballistics evidence he had he would have given to me straight away. And anyway I had all the ballistics evidence from the scene. I was about to go see what was wrong when I heard my name be called.

"Hey Calleigh are you alright?" I turned to see Horatio staring at me.

"Hey H, yea I'm fine. I think it's Eric we should worry about!" I turned back to face where Eric was.

"Why's that?" Horatio had a look of concern.

"I don't know, but I do know something's wrong." My eyes are fixed on the wall he was once staring at.

Rachel's POV.

I walked away hopefully before either of them saw me. I walked past a room, stopped, turned back and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a room full of all types of firearms. I walked in looking around in amazement. I had never seen so many guns in one place before. I slowly stepped back to leave again and bumped into someone. I spun round, thinking it was her, but it wasn't it was the Cuban guy that was talking to her.

"Hi." I smiled and started to play with my hair.

"Who are you?" He asked me straight up.

"My name is Rachel!" I extended my hand for him to shake. He took it and said, "Hi, I'm Eric Delko."

"Okay, well I've gotta go, got things to do." I took one last look at him and could see her in the corner of my eye and went the long way round to the elevator.

Eric's POV

Well that was strange. I turned as she left and saw Calleigh coming towards me.

"Are you sure you're okay?" She asked a little more concerned than before.

"Yea I'm fine. I promise." I tried not to make eye contact, I knew Calleigh could see right through me.

"What do you keep looking at?" She said as she tried to follow my gaze.

"It's just some girl that was here!" I looked around to see her peering over my shoulder. "She's gone now so it doesn't matter."

Calleigh smiled at me as she held on to my shoulder to stop herself falling over. She lowered herself down until her heels touched the floor. I couldn't help but fall into her emerald green eyes that sparkled brighter than the stars at night. I saw her lips move but I didn't hear any sound until I snapped out of my daze.

"Eric? Are you listening to me?" She seemed angry. What could I do? If I told her yes she would want to know what she just said, and if I said no she would be upset that I wasn't listening. There was only one thing to do!

"Sorry I was too busy looking into your eyes!" As I said that a small smile started to spread across her face. She cleared her throat and looked down at the ground. "Well…I…um…I said I need my lab back to process the bullets." I couldn't believe I actually made Calleigh stutter.

"Okay, I'll get out of your hair!" I left leaving Calleigh smiling.

Calleigh's POV

Oh my god, I can't believe Eric was staring into my eyes. He always makes things better with just a smile. I set the evidence down on the counter and looked down at my hip and noticed my cell phone was missing. I must have left it in the hummer. I turned back out of the firearms lab and back down to the parking lot where the hummers where kept. I looked through the window and could see my cell phone on the drivers seat. As I took the keys out of my pocket I dropped them on the floor, and when I stood up someone had a red light on me.

"Who's there?" I yelled.

"Bye bye Blondie." Came the voice. A shot was fired but I wasn't hit. I was lying on the floor, someone had saved me.

Rachel's POV

I got off the elevator and for some reason I was just hanging around in the parking lot. I couldn't go yet I hadn't seen her or spoken to her, it wouldn't be right if I just took off without talking to her. I heard a noise, sounded like someone dropped something, keys maybe. Then I heard her voice, she seemed nervous. I could see her, she wasn't that far away but she didn't turn her head and she couldn't see me. I heard another voice a man's voice, he had a red light pointing at her head and was going to shot her. Without thinking I leapt over to her knocking her to the ground before he pulled the trigger. She was okay, at least I think so, I was okay, didn't feel hurt other than I had landed on my hand. I slowly got up to come face to face with her. She looked up at me and was shocked to see me. I don't blame her really. I stood up and left.

Calleigh's POV

I wasn't hurt, had a sore head but I was fine. I went to thank whoever it was that saved me and when my eyes focused I saw her. I hadn't seen her in ten years. Her hair was more vibrant than ever before. Much longer. Platinum blonde, like mine Her eyes were emerald green, like mine. She didn't say anything, just got up and left. Was it really her? Had she really been there or had I dreamt it all? They had told me she died. Massive amount of blood loss they said, no way she survived. I walked back into the lab, left my phone down in the hummer. I felt like I was a zombie the way I was walking. I finally reached firearms and thought no one had noticed me but Eric had. I fell down in the closest chair. Eric walked over to me and knelt down so his eye line was inline with mine.

Eric's POV

She walked back into the lab, she said she was only going to grab her cell out the hummer but she looked like she'd seen a ghost. I followed her to firearms where she sat down in the closest chair, I walked over to her and knelt down in front of her so I could see her eyes. I took a hold of her hand and rubbed the tops of her fingers with my thumb. She was leaning forward resting her head on her right hand and shaking it slowly.

"Calleigh, is everything alright?" With my left hand I rubbed my finger up and down her right forearm.

She let her right hand slip into my left hand and I could see tears had made their way down her precious cheeks. I took my hand away from hers for a moment to wipe them away.

"They said she was dead!" She looked into my eyes and I could see more tears forming.
