This is what you get when you listen to love songs and sad songs too much.
When you're gone
She's not the same person since he left the lab. She has to admit it, she misses him a lot. It's been five long years since he left and she still hasn't move on. She still remember the days they spent together at work and the night they spent together at home.
She got up from her bed and walks to the drawer where she kept his clothes. She opened it and took one of his old shirt, she put them on and hug herself as if she's huggung him. She opens another drawer and took some old photos. She stares at the pictures, She saw how happy they were before.
With the pictures in her hand she walks back to her bed and lay there until she fell asleep.
She heard the alarm from the clock and decided to get up. She have to get ready for work. She took a clean bath towel from the drawer and heads to the bathroom. When she entered the bathroom flashes of memories came to her head. She quickly took a shower and get out. She put on her make up and got dress.
She heads straight to the door and lock it. Took the car key and get in her car.
When she reached the lab she head straight to the break room to grab a cup of coffee. On her way to the break room she saw Ryan.
"Hey Cal, heard there's a new guy joining the team." Ryan informed Calleigh.
She smiled at Ryan. "We'll welcome him, like we always do with new comer of the team. Want some coffee?" She offered Ryan to join her. Maybe she need some company.
Then they heard Natalia's voice coming from behind. "I would like that." She smiled to them. Then she turned to Calleigh. "Hey Cal, sleepless night huh?" calleigh knows Natalia we're reffering to the dark circles around her eyes.
She shrugged her shoulder and smiled at Natalia. "You could say that. Let's go and have that coffee before we get call in." She headed to the breakroom with Natalia and Ryan behind her.
Natalia look at Ryan and whispered. "She misses him again."
Ryan just nodded, he knows it safer not to push the subject, he knows Calleigh loves her privacy.
After having coffee they receive a text from Horatio. The three of them headed to the crime scene. Horatio told them he will meet them at the scene with the new member of the team.
Ryan pulled the car over in front of the crime scene, there's no sign of Horatio yet,. They saw Dr. Loman took the body in to a body bag. They started processing the crime scene, talk to the witness. Then they saw Horatio's hummer pulled over. Horatio came out of the hummer followed by a guy.
Calleigh couldn't believe what she's seeing. She look straight into the brown eyes of the man behind Horatio. They way he look at her sends shiver to her spine. How she misses those brown eyes.
Ryan approached Horatio and the new guy. "Delko! It's been a long time, man!"
Eric tap Ryan's shoulder. "It's good to see you too, Wolfe." Showing his familiar grin. "Talia! How are you?" He hugged Natalia.
Natalia hugged Eric back. "So you're the new guy?"
Eric chuckles. " Yup, I asked Horatio to keep it as surprise." Then Eric turned to Calleigh. "Hey. How are you?"
She tried her best to hold back her tears. "I'm good, great actually. Uhmm guys I'm going back to the lab to process this casing, and maybe Tom can give me the bullet by now." She didn't wait for them to answer she walks to the hummer, then she remember that Ryan drove the hummer with them. She have no other choice but to wait for them now.
She walks back to the group. "Well, I forgot Ryan drove earlier, so that means I have to wait for you guys. Let me help again." She took a pair of gloves and put them on and start to collect more evidence.
When they finished, they all agreed to go back to the lab. Since Horatio left four of them have to use the hummer that Ryan drove. Calleigh asked Ryan if she can drive. Since Ryan knew that it's Calleigh's way not to talk to Eric he gave her the key and let her drive.
Their journey to the lab was too quiet. Everybody can sense the tension inside the hummer. No one dares to talk. Ryan, who's sitting beside Calleigh pretend to sleep. Natalia keep herself busy with games on her iPhone. Calleigh tried her best to ignore Eric who is not taking his eyes off her.
