Chapter 1: Pool Moment
There has been a murder at the Miami Dade Community Swimming Pool and the whole team was sent to investigate. Natalia and Ryan searched for evidence in the changing room and Calleigh and Eric searched the pool area. Alexx was already at the pool side with the victim's body. Both Eric and Calleigh walked up to her.
" Hey Alexx. What ya got? " asked a usual cheerful Calleigh.
" Hey guys. Well, our victim here is a young female, probably between 19 to 21 years old. She has two gun hot wounds through her chest. But they seem to have entered from different directions. One was entered from the back and out her chest and the other bullet went vice versa"
"That means our vic maybe got the first shot from her back, then turned around and got another shot from the chest."
"Or vice versa." Said Eric with a little smirk
Calleigh continued, "Alexx, where are the bullets?"
"Honey, you or Eric got to go for a little swim cause the bullets are not in our vic so they got to be in the pool." Same time, Alexx got up and signaled the men to take the body away.
"Okey dokey." She then turned to Eric, smiling. "Looks like you're going for a swim."
He gave her a little laugh and threw on his swimsuit. As Eric was about to jump in pool, Calleigh playfully pushed him and he fell right in. He went all the way to the bottom of the pool and came back up with the two bullets in his hand. Calleigh crouched down to Eric's level, watched him in the eye and giggled.
"Miss Calleigh Duquesne, you are so devious." He said with smirk
She responded with a perky "I know!" then she stretched out her hand to him, "Can I have my bullets now?" She took them from him and bagged them in an evidence bag. Before she could turn back, Eric grabbed her waist and pulled her into the pool with him. She let out a squeal before hitting the water. As she came up, she playfully slapped Eric on his arm and splashed water in his face. They then started a game of splashing water on each other, laughing and having a good time. They were having so much fun that they forgot that they were working. When a blanket of Calleigh's hair stuck to her face, Eric took his hand and slowly moved it to the back of her ears. Reveiling her beautiful, sparkling green eyes. The water became calm as they got lost in each other eyes. Calleigh never noticed that Eric had beautiful brown eyes. Eric began leaning forward into Calleigh for a kiss but was disturbed by Ryan calling out his name, "ERIC!" The two jumped and climbed out of the pool before Ryan could see them. When Ryan arrived, he saw Calleigh soaking wet from head to toe.
"Calleigh, why are you so wet?" he picked up her kit, gave Ryan a dead look and walked off. Then he turned to Eric to ask the same question, but before he even uttered a word, Eric said, "Don't ask, dude. Let's just get back to work. I already gave Calleigh the bullets to process."
Calleigh went to her Hummer to get her emergency clothes and changed in the changing room. As she came out, she spotted Eric looking at her and she smiled bashfully, turning her head away from him. This was not unnoticed by Ryan. The way they both looked at each other was different to when they looked at someone else. When Calleigh was opening her car door, she mouthed a 'Good Bye' to Eric and he did the same back to her. Then she hopped in the Hummer and drove off to get to the lab. Eric along, with Ryan, stayed back with Horatio and Natalia left with her Hummer. While driving on the busy road, Calleigh was thinking about the fun she just had with Eric in the pool. She never thought that their close friendship would reach to that. 'what is this I'm feelin? Am I in love….with Eric?' she thought. 'but I just can't be with him. He is my best friend and don't want to jeopardize that'
As she turned off the engine, she hopped out the Hummer, grabbed the kit and rushed to the lab to start processing the bullets.
