Title to be thought of later
Chapter 1: Meeting in lock up
For the second time that afternoon Eric Delko was sitting in the meeting room of Miami detention, he couldn't understand why Horatio would want to talk to him twice in less than two hours because he was fairly certain there wasn't anything new on his case. Eric was waiting when he felt a hand behind begin to lightly squeeze his shoulder. He at once realized what was really going on.
"Ha, you're not Horatio Caine are you?" asked Eric knowing who it was before he looked back.
"And what would you have done if they told you it was me?" asked Calleigh sitting down across from Eric.
"I would've told you to go back to work." said Eric staring at his hands not able to look at her. "What are doing here anyway, shouldn't you be working on the yacht murder?"
"I'm here, because I was worried about you." said Calleigh. "How are you holding up?"
"I'm hanging in there." said Eric with an insincere smile. "Look Cal, go back to the lab don't let me keep you from solving the case. There's nothing we can do about this."
"That's not true." Calleigh whispered. "There's always an option, you need to fight this."
"What's the point." asked Eric dully. "I can't win against INS. Especially since they found out that my birth certificate for this country's a fake."
"What is wrong with you?" asked Calleigh disbelievingly. "The Eric Delko I know wouldn't just roll over and play dead."
"Calleigh the Eric Delko you know isn't even a Delko." said Eric frustrated. "All my life has been a lie, my father, my birth, everything."
"Hey, now that's enough." said Calleigh refusing to let Eric give up hope. "Eric look at me, who you're biological father is it doesn't change the man you turned into. You're a CSI you're smart if you won't fight for yourself, fight for us."
"Us?" repeated Eric. "I'm not even sure what that means anymore."
"Eric we're good together." said Calleigh smiling and taking is his hand in hers. "You and me, we've been a team for almost a decade there is no one I trust like you. You talked about lies in your life but this right here isn't one of them."
"And how long did it take us to get this close?" asked Eric. "Over seven years."
"I need you to promise me something." said Calleigh. "Promise you won't give up."
"I promise." said Eric, grinning for the first time since the arrest.
