Calleigh walked into the lab for the Miami Dade Police station and rode the elevator to the second floor where the Crime lab and offices for the CSIs was located. "Good Morning Miss. Duquesne. How are you this morning?" the Supervisor and her best friend Horatio Caine greeted the blond CSI. "Good Morning sir. I am tired. I had a long night because dad decided he wanted to start an argument last night and I couldn't hang up on him." Calleigh told him. "Do I need to take care of Duke? I told him already I don't need my best CSI to be tired at all. Least of all the day that we get a new guy coming in and paired with you." Horatio responded. "No, I just need a cup of coffee to get my day going." She smiled and headed to the break room before going to her office in the ballistics lab. Horatio watched the louisiana native walk away and hope the new partner he assigned her wouldn't add to the stress.
Eric Delko walked into the glass building that he was familiar with due to being a tow truck driver and towing lots of vehicular evidence to the lab. He was meeting with Horatio Caine, His sister's boyfriend. Walking into the building he was behind a blond woman who he knew but couldn't place where he knew her from. She continued to the elevator while he stopped at the front desk. "I am here to speak with Lt Horatio Caine please." He informed the receptionist at the front. She called the supervisor of the crime lab while Eric took a seat in the lobby. Horatio stepped out of the elevator five minutes later to greet the cuban man who he spoke with at length about joining CSI.
"Eric, how are you doing my friend?" the redhead asked as they got back on the elevator to go to the second floor. "I have been good. Boss didn't want to let me go but..." He trailed off as he saw the same blond from the parking lot waiting in front of the elevator doors. "Horatio, I just got a call about a db. Can I take it? They have a lot of ballistic evidence." She stated before looking up and noticing the other man with her boss. "Oh, Hello pardon my rudeness, Calleigh Duquesne, I am ballistics and part time DNA analysis expert." She introduced herself and stuck out her hand for a handshake. "Hello Ma'am, My name is Eric Delko and I used to work as a tow truck driver, just reacently passed to be a CSI. I feel like I know you." He introduced himself and shook her hand. "Miss Duquesne, can you take Mr. Delko with you to the scene?" Horatio asked his assistant lab director.
She nodded her head and showed him where to put his bags and other things and they headed for the scene. They drove to the four seasons hotel where the body was discovered by the pool. Calliegh flashed her badge at the officer before signing herself and him in. "Hey, this is Eric Delko, he is new to CSI so he doesn't have his badge yet." she informed the officer on duty. They walked in and noticed all the blood was a trail to the cabana by the pool. "Alexx? I didn't see your car here." Calleigh noticed the M.E. for the crime lab. "Hey baby, I don't have my car. my husband took me to work and Horatio dropped me off here. Was the M.E. van not out front yet?" the woman asked before hugging her. a few minutes later the assistant medical examiner walked up looking a little embarrassed. "I couldn't find the place for a minute." He explained at the look on Alexx's face.
