Prologue
It was a slow Friday at the lab, and it was the end of shift. Horatio walked into the break room to see Calleigh sitting there, cleaning her gun.
"Hey Calleigh," She looked up and smiled,
"Hey Horatio," She gestured to the seat next to her, and he took it.
"So, what's up?" She said, and kept cleaning her gun.
"Um, I was thinking, I had a plan for after work tonight." Her eyes brightened and said,
"What plan?"
"Well, how about we grab Eric, Alexx and Frank, and go down to…" He trailed off, and Calleigh said quietly,
"Speed's grave?" Horatio looked surprised and nodded. Calleigh smiled sadly and said,
"I didn't forget that it was his death's one year anniversary, if you could call it that." Horatio put a comforting hand on her shoulder, and said,
"If you don't want to…"
"No, no, if you guys are going I want to go.
"You sure?" Calleigh put her gun away and said softly,
"Yeah, I'm sure. I'll grab Alexx and you grab Eric, and we'll pick up Frank on our way over, okay?"
"Okay, I'll meet you in the parking lot, okay?"
"Sure," She said, smiled and walked off. She went to the morgue and knocked.
"Come on it, Calleigh. What's up?"
"Horatio thought it would be nice if we all went to Speed's grave." Alexx considered it, and then said,
"That would be great." Calleigh smiled, and said,
"Then let's go."
"Coming,"
Meanwhile, Horatio walked to the locker room and found Eric.
"H, what's up?"
"Uh, how would you like to go down to Speed's grave with me?"
"Sure, is there anyone else going?"
"Yeah, we are going to meet Alexx and Calleigh in the parking lot, and then go pick up Frank, is that okay?"
"Sure, coming." They walked down to the parking lot, and found Calleigh and Alexx getting in Calleigh's Hummer. Horatio jogged up and said,
"I call shotgun!" Alexx pulled a face for a moment, but climbed in the back with Eric. Calleigh grinned evilly, and drove like a maniac to the station where Frank was. When she squealed up, Frank came out and said,
"Whoa, you guys look like you've seen a ghost, except for Calleigh." Calleigh laughed and Horatio said,
"That's because Miss Racer here nearly gave us all a heart attack."
"Oh, I couldn't have done that, I left so fast you left your hearts and stuff back in the lab parking lot." Calleigh said, and Frank laughed. He climbed in the back, and Calleigh took off, driving fast again. They got to the cemetery, and Calleigh stopped and turned the radio on and left it running while they walked over to Speed's grave. They stood there, and they all knelt down and sent some thoughts up to Speed, wherever he was.
