Alright this is my first fanfic on here so go easy on me! But please review and let me know what you think.
I'm not sure when this takes place, just somewhere during Eric and Calleigh's relationship, so prior to season 8 I guess…
Calleigh, dressed in her white lab coat, sat at the computer, running the results on a gun she had test fired. When the computer came up without a match, she sighed and decided it was time for a break. She made her way to the break room, her three inch heels making the only noise in the unusually quiet hallways.
Calleigh grabbed a soda out of the fridge and popped it open. Taking a long drink, she didn't hear Natalia come in.
"Hey Calleigh, any results on the gun?" She asked grabbing a bottle of water.
"None, what about your DNA sample?" Calleigh questioned backed.
"It's still running," She told Calleigh, heading for the door. "Oh, have you seen Eric?" She asked before leaving.
"He went to the scene with Wolfe, they think they missed something." She told her. "Did you need something?" Her southern drawl coming out.
"He left his phone in the lab a while ago, I thought he would come back for it…" Natalia drifted off, waving Eric's phone in the air.
"Oh, well I'll give it to him; I was just thinking of heading out there." Calleigh stated, taking the phone from her. Natalia shrugged and went back to the DNA Lab.
Calleigh grabbed her kit and hopped in the hummer. Pulling her hummer up to the scene, behind Eric's she grabbed her kit along with her and Eric's identical phones from the passenger seat. Stepping out of the Hummer, one of the phones in her hand vibrated. Calleigh flipped open the phone, upon reading the first line, she knew she had opened the wrong phone but by that time she couldn't stop herself. She read it twice to make sure her mind wasn't playing jokes on her.
"Eric…repeat of last nite? My place at 9, bring ur handcuffs again. Abi"
Calleigh's breath caught in her chest as she read it the second time. Her mind wandered back to the night before.
Calleigh walked out of the lab and met up with Eric on his way in.
"Hey you almost done?" She asked, the Miami sunset reflecting off of her skin.
"Not quite. I have to write this report up." He told her. He grabbed her kit out of her hand and turned to walk her to her car.
"Alright, you coming over when you're done?" She asked throwing her purse into the car.
"I wish Cal. I haven't started this report and I promised my mom I would stop by tonight." He told her.
"That's fine, I could use the extra sleep," Calleigh stated a small smile on her face. She stretched up and kissed him on the cheek. Eric blushed slightly before looking over his shoulder, making note that nobody was watching him, he leaned down and kissed her deeply.
"Have a good night Cal," he told her before turning to walk away. Calleigh smiled to herself before getting in her car and speeding home.
Ryan's voice brought her out of her thoughts and back to the crime scene.
"You okay?" he asked noticing the look on her face.
"Yeah, hey I just realized I forgot something back at the lab, will you give Eric his phone for me?" She said trying to smile. Ryan gave her a quizzical look before taking Eric's phone from her and making his way to the other side of the yellow tape.
"Delko, Calleigh just dropped your phone off, she was acting really strange." Ryan told him. Eric snapped his gloves off, and took his phone. He flipped to his inbox and found an opened message from an unknown number, reading it to himself he turned to Ryan.
"Can you take care of this?" He asked packing up his kit.
"I guess. How am I gonna get back to the lab?" Wolfe asked watching Delko leave.
"I'll send Natalia out." Delko called over his shoulder.
Eric avoided the elevator and dashed up the stairs, praying he could fix this. He met Horatio in the lobby.
"Eric, are you done processing the scene?" Horatio asked him
"I have to take care of something; I was going to ask Natalia to finish." He told him honestly.
"I see." Horatio said, turning his shoulder toward Eric. Eric turned to leave, but Horatio stopped him. "Ms. Duquesne is in the ballistics lab." Eric searched Horatio's face for a sign of disapproval. He found nothing but the typical blank expression, Eric turned and dashed toward Calleigh's lab.
She was test firing into ballistics jell; she knew that he was behind her but she wasn't ready to face him. Unfortunately the gun ran out of bullets and she was forced to remove the protective gear and face him. She placed the gun on the counter and turned to him.
"Listen Eric, I'm really sorry but I thought it was my phone and once I opened it and started reading it, I couldn't stop. I know I don't belong going through your messages…"She rambled awkwardly, like she used to do.
"So you read it then?" He asked looking at his feet. Calleigh remained silent, keeping her eyes on his. "Calleigh…" he started in but she cut him off.
"Listen Eric, lets not do this now okay?" She asked turning and grabbing the gun from the counter.
"It's not what you think." He said grabbing her arm gently.
"It never is, is it Eric?" She retorted harshly. Eric, stammered for a response, but didn't come up with one. "I need to get back to the evidence." She stated pulling her arm from his grasp. Eric conceded for the time being and headed out of her lab.
