Holding Strong
A/N: I do not own any of the CSI Characters, and I do not make any money off of these stories. Don't sue me! Sorry it took so long to update. I've been sick. I've got laryngitis.
Horatio stared at the case file on his desk. It was Calleigh's Case. They knew who did it, they had the evidence, they just couldn't find him. And Horatio hated it. Almost every night he woke up to Calleigh screaming in bed. It broke his heart. Every time he heard that bastard's name, he clenched his teeth and buckled his knees. That piece of trash made him sick. Raymond Rococo. 'Bastard.' Horatio thought. He put the file away and pulled out the small book Calleigh had given him. It was a bridal arrangement book. She wanted to check her ideas with him before sending them to the bridal store.
"I wonder if she'd notice if I agreed with all of them?" he said to himself.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Said the medical examiner's voice from the doorframe.
"Hello Alexx. Are you just gonna stand there or come in?" Horatio said softly.
Alexx stepped in and shut the door as she chuckled softly to herself.
"What brings you up here? I don't need the report until three." Horatio asked as he slipped the book into a drawer.
"Erik does. He was too much of a coward to come up here and ask you himself. Are you and Calleigh really getting married?" Alexx answered.
"I see word travels fast." He said, half embarrassed.
"Well, all I can say is, it's about time! I saw the way you looked at her. I'm happy for you guys Horatio." Alexx replied happily as she stood up, ready to leave.
"Thanks Alexx, on your way out, if you see Erik, send him up here please." Horatio said pleasantly.
"No problem sugar." She answered.
Calleigh had her back turned to the door as she studied a sample in the microscope. Unfortunately she didn't see Tim sneak up behind her.
"CALLEIGH'S GETTING MARRIED!" He yelled right behind her.
He had been doing that all day since he had found out. Now she was regretting telling him. Calleigh almost fell off the stool in shock.
"TIMMOTHY SPEEDLE! IF YOU KEEP THIS UP, NOBODY WILL FIND YOUR BODY, DO YOU HEAR ME!" She screamed as she whipped around.
Tim had been out the door before she could even yell to his face. 'He's lucky he's in a CSI building.' Calleigh thought.
"I think the whole building heard you." Said Horatio as he walked in the lab.
"They wouldn't testify against me would they?" she said humorously.
"I hope not. We have a wedding to plan." He said huskily.
"Well I would hate to disappoint you." Calleigh said seductively.
"Come on, get a room!" said Speed as he stuck his head in the lab.
"SPEED!" they both yelled is unision.
