"Eric…Calleigh, I need to have a word with you once we get back to CSI." Horatio told them as they were finishing taking some witnesses statements for the current murder investigation the working on. Ryan, Natalia and Walter, were the ones processing the actual scene.

"Um, sure Horatio." Calleigh answered being obedient as always.

"Did we do something wrong Horatio?" Eric asked out of curiosity.

"I don't know…did you?" Horatio asked them and walked away.

"I wonder what H needs to see us for Eric."

"Me too, I'm kind of nervous now." Eric confessed.

"I'll tell you what we tell our suspects…if you didn't do anything wrong, you have nothing to be nervous about Delko."

"Sure Calleigh." Eric playfully rolled his eyes at her, causing her to giggle at him.

Eric had wanted Calleigh to be his girlfriend since the day he first laid eyes on her beautiful self. But like she told him, she didn't want to get too close like that with anyone that she would have to work with. That was a complete lie though, because she had dated Jake and they had to work together at the time, thank God they didn't anymore though, because Eric was trying to sail his way into Calleigh's heart without any interruptions especially from other males, or females in his case.

Calleigh knew that Eric would do anything in the world for her, and she wouldn't even have to ask twice, all she had to say was Eric I need…and he would be on it in a hot second. She knew that something was missing from her life and she knew exactly who that someone was. Eric Delko…Calleigh knew that the chemistry was there, she just couldn't take the actual step and take it to the next level with him. Eric made just about everything better for Calleigh, without even breaking a sweat. She still didn't want to risk her heart breaking by being with him…but it seemed that her heart was breaking even more being without him.

"Hey Horatio, what'd you need to see us for?" Calleigh asked as her and Eric stepped inside his office.

"I needed to speak to you guys about going away for a little bit."

"Going away…you mean like undercover H?"

"No, not that type of going away. I need you guys to go to a convention and represent our department."

"Oh wow H, I'd be honored to do that." Calleigh told him.

"Me too H." Eric said.

"I'm glad you both are interested, they told me to send my best 2 people out there. Your plane is leaving on Wednesday afternoon and it's barely noon right now, so I gave you guys the rest of today off. The actual conference part doesn't start until Friday and it ends on Sunday. However you guys aren't coming back until Tuesday."

"Wow, thank you Horatio!" Calleigh said.

"You guys are welcome. Oh and I forgot one detail…the conference is in Hawaii."

"You serious Horatio?" Eric asked him

"Very serious Eric. You and over here will be staying in Hawaii together for a week. Now, the station is paying for everything except your food that includes plane tickets, hotel, rental car, and everything in between. Now like I said before your flight is leaving Wednesday at 1:30pm, and 'yall have the rest of the day off so you guys better get a move on."

"Alright Thanks Horatio." They told him as they left his office.

"Mhmm and call me with any questions or problems."

"Okay."

Eric and Calleigh both exited Horatio's office and walked to the locker room to gather their belongings.

"So Calleigh you excited about Hawaii?"

"Yeah, that and I get to spend some time with you." Calleigh said silently cursing herself for saying that last part.

"Oh, so you want to spend time with me Calleigh?"

"Of course Eric, you know your my best friend Eric and lately we haven't gotten any real quality time together without it being interrupted by something. So this trip is our chance Eric!"

"Your right Calleigh…this trip is our chance!" Eric said having an alternate intention to the statement, as Calleigh gave him a soft smile.

"So…how are we going to do this?"

"Well, I had just planned on picking you up at your house around 10 in the morning tomorrow so we could have enough time to go through the usual airport routine. And I could just leave my car at the airport since we wouldn't have to pay for it anyway."

"Alright, that sounds like a plan Eric."

"Okay, so I'll see you tomorrow morning then Calleigh."

"It's a date Eric."
