A/N I don't own so don't sue. The song that inspired this is Overload from the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack. Rated T for the first 6 chapters, M for chapter 7, and K for the last on…it is the lyrics to the song. Please review…good or bad. I need all the help I can get. Thank you for reading!
Horatio pulled up at the scene. He heard on the radio that Assistant State Attorney Nevins had been killed in the explosion. They had once been close but her decision to give a cop killer a deal had ended their romantic relationship. Not to mention that he was in love with someone else.
He pulled his sun glasses off as he slid out of the Hummer to take inventory of his team…Eric and Calleigh had been there at the time of the explosion. He could see most of his team gathered around Eric and could tell they were upset with him. He gave Eric a once over and determined he was fine other than a few scratches; however when he looked at Calleigh his heart broke for her. Physically she appeared to be fine; but it was clear that she was taking some hard emotional blows. She was not taking what ever Eric was saying well. She looked betrayed. The team spotted Horatio and went their separate ways with the exception of Calleigh and Eric. Jessie called out to Eric and that seemed to snap Calleigh out of her thoughts and Horatio could hear her say, "Eric, I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. Not with the lies. I'll be over later to get my things," and as she walked away, her heels clicked on the concrete. Eric seemed okay with the fact that the most beautiful woman in Florida had just broken up with him.
Horatio thought about Calleigh and her heels…they would be the death of him.
Horatio watched as Calleigh walked to the Hummer she had followed Eric in. She was about to get in when she remembered that it was evidence. She stopped herself just before she reached for the door handle. She was having a hard time controlling her breathing…she had to get away from here before she broke down. She would not allow her team members to see her tears. She would not allow Eric to see the pain he had caused her. The tears were not because she was hurt about the breakup, she really didn't love Eric…and this just gave her an opportunity to get out. She was hurt by yet another man lying to her, and she was stuck. She had no way to get away from the scene or from Eric. She could feel her body start to tremble…she couldn't hold it much longer. She walked to the other side of the Hummer and sat on the curb and held her head in her hands…she just needed a minute, and then she would be in control.
