Obviously I don't own any of these characters maybe in a land far far away but for right now they belong to cbs and Anthony Ziker carwash baby's angst
Caleigh:
She had always been the strong Texan the one who could do anything she set her mind to, the one who faced her problems head on so why was she running away, why was she running away from the man she loved more than anything else oh yeah because she had seen him kissing Erica Sykes and that was a pain like no other one that she could not face she was simply not that strong
Ryan:
I've been looking for caleigh for 1 month now and she is no where I mean not even horatio has managed to find her and we have used all the resources at our disposal. I really don't get it we have been together now for about 6 months and I thought we really had something special and she has just vanished I'm not going to stop looking for her I must I need to know that she is safe even if she does not want me any more. How I hope she did not see Erica kiss me. She couldn't have It was a split second and I pushed her off me. No Caleigh is to pig headed to run away from a silly thing like that she would of stayed and made my life hell.
Horatio:
Its been 4 months since caleigh left Miami to go back to Texas 2 months in which I have been lying to Ryan just so he does not go charging off after her so I can at least know where she is and how she is doing. It was not easy to say goodbye to Caleigh and however much I try to get her to come back she adamantly refuses and the last time she did not contact me for 2 weeks so I have stopped asking which is killing me and is hurting the rest of my team no end
Eric:
Cant believe its been 8 months since caleigh left us there is something h is not telling us and I don't know why he is doing it. I have never seen Ryan so down before his OCD is at the highest point I have ever seen it he even volunteered to help the csi clean up crew that's when I knew he was about to break and that's when I knew I finally had to say something to H
At CSI headquarters Miami, Florida
"H wait up I know you know where caleigh is and all I want to know is why you have not told us" pants Eric "well you know I just don't know anything" lies Horatio through his teeth and so I need to get to this body dump in the glades before the crocodiles" Eric is getting angry at his boss so starts to shout at him "what you need to do H is tell us that you know because we know you do cant you see what this is doing to Wolfe he is about to crack and all he needs to know is that she is okay and you can give him that piece of knowledge and then maybe he wont end up going so far that we cant get back the guy that used to be here"
"Eric I promised but I will have a chat with him but I can tell you she is defiantly not coming back"
At the body dump in the glades
"Mr Wolfe can I have a word please "
"Sure H what do you need"
"Eric has informed me that you are still searching for caleigh and that you are about to have a breakdown is that true"
"well " looking at his shoes and thinking about how dirty they are "I have and I will keep looking until I find her"
"well then I must inform you that caleigh does not wish to be found but that she is okay and will not be coming back to Miami i'm sorry
the news that at least caleigh as safe and healthy and not dead as he had seen so many times in his dreams where he was just out of reach and could not save her he was relieved but angry that Horatio had known this all the time and had let him worry so much and nearly become a cold senseless person that is something that he could not forgive
" I'm sorry as well Lt Caine as I have to hand you my badge and my gun as I am quitting " and with that he walked away from a clearly shocked looking Horatio he did not have anything else to do, no other job prospects and no savings all he knew is that he could not work for a man like that a man that he had once admired and hoped to be like someday he just couldn't
Back at the lab
Ryan had said goodbye to nearly everyone and they were genuinely shocked but had all wished him the best and hoped he would drop by to say hello soon after he was settled again all that was left for him to do now was to say goodbye to Alexx and Eric who he was going to miss
Autopsy
Eric was a bit confused as he tried to explain his recent phone call from horatio to Alexx
" what my baby just quit that does not sound like him, what happened ?"
"well H told Ryan that he has known where caleigh is this whole time and that she is not coming back to Miami"
" you see this is what I like about Miami news travels faster than me " says Ryan as he enters autopsy "I did want to tell you myself but hay at least now you have had a chance to put together you goodbyes properly"
"oh baby you cant leave like this what are you going to do " asks Alexx as she comes round to give him a hug " I'm going to find caleigh and see why she left I need to hear it from her or I am never going to be able to move on I just want to say thanks Eric for all you have done for me even though we got off to a rocky start" gives Eric a hug and starts to leave when Horatio walks in
"listen i'm going to explain to you all"
Meanwhile in Houston, Texas
Caleigh was getting ready to go out when so she made sure she had everything so she made a checklist in her mind car keys, cellphone, money, formula, pacifiers and the other mountain of stuff she had grown accustom to carrying everywhere since giving birth to Matthew Wolfe-Duquesne and his twin Lily Wolfe-Duquesne
