Ok this fic has been rolling around in my head for some time now but my writer's block kept me from doing anything. Let me know what you think and if I should even bother continuing.
Disclaimer: I don't own them so don't sue me
Pairing: E/C obviously!!
Eric placed a piece of evidence in the box and placed it on the shelf. He was glad the case was over because it had been a long and trying one. He had spent the majority of it sucking in sewage while at the bottom of a canal searching for the murderer's gun. He had taken two showers and he was sure he still smelled like sewage.
"Hey Eric" Calleigh said as she entered the evidence vault
"Hey Cal. Is that the last of the evidence?"
"Yep" she replied moving over to the shelf he had just placed the box on.
"Here let me" he said grabbing the box from the shelf
"Why thank you" she replied her southern accent thickening "What a gentlemen"
He laughed "Just don't let the secret out"
She let out a laugh. Their laughter was cut off by her cell phone "Duquesne. What? Ok..I'll be there as soon as I can"
Eric could tell something was wrong because the smile on her face immediately dropped ad her hands shook slightly as she hung up the phone
"Cal is everything ok?"
She stared blankly at him for a moment before answering "I…I have to go"
"Wait, what happened?"
"It's nothing…I just need" she was stuttering and that made him even more nervous
"Calleigh" he said as he grabbed her by the shoulders
"My father had a heart attack" she blurted out
Eric felt his mouth go dry. All air seemed to be sucked out of the room at that very moment. He knew that for all her father did, Calleigh still loved him very much. "Is he alright?"
She shook her head
He didn't say anything he simply pulled her into a hug. "I'll drive you" he said as he pulled back
"Eric" she weakly protested
"Cal, you're in no condition to drive. Now get your stuff and come on" Calleigh usually wasn't one to be ordered around but she simply nodded and let him lead her out of the room.
TBC….. Be sure to review!!!
