Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Stetler was furious and yelled: What the hell where you two doing having sex in the garage?

"Well technically it was in the back of my car" Horatio protested.

"Save it Caine, you both now the policies and you broke every single rule" said Stetler.

"Oh, did we, so this is what this is about" said Horatio sarcastic. Calleigh just kept quiet, she felt terrible.

"Very funny" Stetler said and added "So I guess you know there will be consequences":

"Which are?" Horatio asked.

"For once Calleigh is switching over to nightshift tonight and you are suspended until further notice" said Stetler and smiled.

"You can't do that, who is the going to run the dayshift" said Horatio uphold.

"I guess you should have thought of that before you decided that it was a good idea to jump on Duquesne in the back of your car at work. I know you're desperate, but come one Horatio you can do a lot better than HER" said Stetler.

"Rick, don't go there" said Horatio in a warning tone.

"Why not, the truth is that she is not better than a common whore. She has already slept with Jake, probably Eric to, so what do you do, just pass her around when you're done.

Calleigh felt her anger rise, how did he dare to say that about her, her hand held tightly around her gun.

"That's enough Rick, get the hell out of my office and stay out" Horatio yelled.

"Oh, you're gonna do her here to, don't think so, Calleigh your shift starts at 12Am, I suggest you don't be late and that you don't sleep around the nightshift to" said Stetler.

Calleigh still did not say anything, just looked angrily at him and hit him hard in the arm on her way out, then she left to go home, she was furious.

Horatio looked at Stetler and said: What the hell is wrong with you Rick, how could you say that about her, you know it's not true, are you jealous is that it. And I promise I won't be away for more than a day.

"Jealous don't make me laugh, we'll see bout that Caine" Rick said and left.

Horatio took a deep breath and figured he had to find Calleigh and talk to her, this time Stetler had gone to far. So he went down to the car and drove to her apartment.

Calleigh sat in her apartment, she was furious, how could Stetler say that and why didn't Horatio say anything back, did he agree with Stetler was that why he was with her. She heard a knock on the door and let Horatio in.

"Calleigh are you ok?" he asked concerned.

"Does it look that way. Why didn't you defend me, do you think I'm a whore, is that why you're with me" she asked, her voice was shaking with fury.

"You know I don't, and you know that's not the reason I'm with you. I was just shocked, I' sorry I didn't defend you Calleigh" he said, but she just looked at him like she was going to kill him, so he said: Let it out bulletgirl, let it out.

"How could you let him say that and do nothing?" she said, tears were coming from her eyes in anger and frustration and she started to hit him with her fists. Horatio stood completely still and let her hit him until she run out of energy, the he put his arms around her and just let her cry. He felt her weaken and managed to get her over to the coach where he sat her down. He sat down next to her, her head rested on his chest and while she continued to cry he hold her close and stroke her hair gently while he thought "Man, am I gonna be black and blue tomorrow".

After a while her sobs died away and she became silent. Horatio kissed the top of her head gently. Calleigh felt exhausted, so she closed her eyes and fell a sleep. Horatio thought "Just sleep my lady. There's still some hours to you have to get back, me on the other hand is free as the bird". That stupid Stetler. Horatio shook his head a bit annoyed before he slowly closed his eyes to.

A couple of hours later Calleigh woke up, she looked sleepily around, then she remembered why was home and what Stetler said. She sat up in the coach and saw Horatio, he was sleeping peacefully. Then she remembered hitting him and felt really bad, she didn't mean to do so, she was just angry. Calleigh started to cry of regret and Horatio was woken by her soft sobs and put his arm around her and asked: Sweetheart what is wrong?

"I'm the most horrible girlfriend in the world" she cried.

"What are you talking about" Horatio asked confused.

"Since I yelled at ya and hit ya and got ya suspended and everything" she cried.

"Calleigh, honey, look at me, you were just angry, don't worry about it, I would probably done the same in you place, well not exactly the same, but I'm fine really" said Horatio and looked into her beautiful green eyes.

"That's nice of you to say, but if I hadn't insisted on sex in the Caddie, nunna this would have happened in the first place. And I wanna be on days not nights" said Calleigh sadly, since she loved the whole crew, they ha so much fun together.

"Sweetheart, it's just temporary I'm sure, and the guys at the nightshift are okay to you know" said Horatio encouraging.

"I know that, but I'm not a night owl" she said.

"I guess I have to bring you a lot of coffee to keep you up then" said Horatio with a smile.

"Ya know ya can't do that, you'll get in even more trouble" said Calleigh.

"Hmmm, maybe not I just got an idea" said Horatio.

"You do, what?" she asked curiously.

"You just have to wait and see" he said with a sly smile.

Calleigh looked at her watch and said: I guess I better go, see ya later handsome.

"Of course" he said and smiled at her before she left.

Horatio stayed for a while after Calleigh had left to think. This time Rick Stetler had gone to far, the punishment was one thin, but to call Calleigh a whore was another. To say that to his lady just mad Horatio furious, he wanted Stetler to pay, but didn't know how. And to out Calleigh on nightshift when she was a morning person, would that work at all and for how ling. He sighed frustrated mostly since he now was without a job and didn't know what to do. Then he got him self together and left.

A couple of hours later Ryan entered Calleighs firearms lab.

She looked up and said: Hey Ryan, what are you doing her so late, I thought you shift ended at four.

"It did, but I had some paperwork, plus I thought I'd check if you were ok and bring you some coffee" said Ryan and handed her a paper cop.

"I'm ok, just not used to working nights that's all" said Calleigh and took a sip of the coffee.

Ryan smiled and said: You know that you and H are the office gossip now since noone really knows what happened only that you got punished.

"You didn't tell" Calleigh asked surprised.

"No, didn't dare to, I was afraid you would shoot me or something if you found out that I ratted you out and I don't think everybody needs to know about you personal life either" said Ryan.

"Thanks and thanks for the coffee to, I really needed it" said Calleigh and smiled at him.

"You're welcome, so is it true that H got suspended?" Ryan asked.

"Sure is, wonder what he's going to do, I mean he's used to working all the time" she said.

"He'll figure something out, but I got to go so I can get back to my date, have a nice night and may I say you have nice breasts and nice taste in bras" said Ryan and smiled.

Calleigh blushed and said: Why thank you, have a good night to and have fun with you date.

"Thanks Call, see ya" he said and winked at her before he left. Calleigh took another sip of the coffee, then she bent down over the microscope again.

It was 2AM at Miami Dade Crime lab, but everyone was bizzy doing something, everyone except Calleigh that was she had fall a sleep over her laptop. There was a smile on her face and she looked really peaceful.

Ryan and Natalia had decided to stop by since it was on the way from the nightclub they had been at and since they wanted to bring her more coffee. Now they were watching her and Ryan said: She's so cute, it's a shame that we have to wake her up.

"I know, but we have to, she can get in even more trouble if we don't" said Natalia.

They went over to her and Natalia said: Calleigh, time to wake up.

Calleigh opened her eyes and asked confused around for a second before she could remember where she was.

Then she saw Ryan and Natalia and asked: What are ya'll doing here?

"Bringing you more coffee to keep you up" said Natalia.

Calleigh looked at them and asked: Wait a minute Ryan, the one were on the date wit tonight was Nat?

He nodded and Calleigh smiled and said: I thought there was something going on with you two. So did ya hear the latest news, that lowlife Stetler popped by after Ryan let me know I would be the supervisor of the nightshift for some time since the normal supervisor is on vacation.

"That's great Calleigh" said Ryan exited, but then he saw the sad look on her face and asked: But Calleigh what is wrong, I always thought you wanted to get promoted and more responsibility.

"I did, I do, but if I work night and Horatio days, we're never going to see each other.

Natalia looked at her and said: I see, but Calleigh, Horatio isn't working now, and it's only temporary.

"I sure hope so" said Calleigh.

"And if not you two will figure it out" said Ryan.

"But we have to go now, got to get up early so we'll see you later" said Natalia and then they left.

Calleigh sighed and continued to work.

The clock was 9Am when Calleigh finally returned home, she felt death tired since she had been up most of the day. She got undressed and got into bed right next to Horatio who was sleeping peacefully. She was wondering what he had been doing all night, but since she was to tired to and to tired to wake him of to wake him she just crept closer to hi since he was laying back facing her.

Horatio woke a bit later by Calleigh tossing, turning and mumbling something in her sleep, but he couldn't get what it was.

He carefully whispered: Calleigh I'm here.

And somehow Horatio managed to maneuver her over to his chest and put his arms her and just relax sweetheart, it will be ok I promise, I'm here.

And miraculy that made her calm down and she started to breath slowly again and slept peacefully him the rest of the night.

When Calleigh up around one the next she was alone in bed. She found a note on her nightstand that said: Hey sweetheart. I didn't want to wake you up before I left since you were so beautiful sleeping. I made some calls last night so I'm not suspended any longer, but the bad news is that you're still on the nightshift so by the time I'll get back you're probably at work. Hopefully this agreement won't last for long since I hate to be a part from you my love.

I love you sweetheart. Behind the note she found two bags of coffee and a silver box with a heart on. She opened it, it was full of sugar, on the top was a note that said: So you won't fall a sleep at work tonight sweetheart.

Calleigh smiled, it was really sweet of him and also showed how good he really knew her. She wondered if there was something in return and called Natalia and asked her to meet her an hour later.

Natalia knocked on the door to Horatios office door and entered.

Horatio looked up and said: Hey Natalia, what can I do for you?

"Well Calleigh asked me to give you this" she said and handed him a locked evidence box. Horatio looked surprised and thought "What the hell did she send me".

"Natalia, do you know what this is?" he asked.

"No" she said since she really didn't before she left him alone with the box.

Horatio slowly removed the evidence tape and lifted the lid of the box and looked inside.

He found a nicely wrapped present and a card. He opened the card and read: Dear handsome. Thanks a lot for the sugar and coffee, you're just the sweetest thing. Glad you got back on days so fast, but the arrangement with you on days and me on nights, let's just say I don't like it. Do I see you in bed when I get home or will you have left already? Love you to handsome. Love Calleigh.

Horatio opened the present and found a picture of Calleigh in a SWAT uniform smiling with a note that said: I don't look good in all black. Horatio looked out a chuckle and played the picture on his desk. Then he found his iphone and wrote a message that said: Thanks for the picture sweetheart, now I won't be so lonely without you here. I don't now yet if you will see me in bed when you get home. H.

Calleigh smiled when she got the message, glad he liked the gift. She was sitting on the coach in her apartment reading a book feeling a little bit out of place since she usually worked at these hours. But she couldn't take it any more so she went back to the lab figuring that she could always do something, she was after all the supervisor and there was always plenty to do. She sat down in her office when it knocked on the door.

"Please enter" she said as she turned on the laptop.

It was Addison one of the guys from the nightshift, he looked at her and said: Your DNA results miss Duquesne.

"Thanks Addison, but please call me Calleigh. So you're here early to huh?" she said.

"It's not that early, our shift starts in a couple of hours and it's always better to be early than late" said Addison.

"Sure is, do you know is Horatio has left yet?" she asked.

"No, he's still here, I saw him in the hall right now" he said.

"Would you mind getting him for me?" she asked.

"No, not at all, see you in a couple Calleigh" he said and left.

A moment later Horatio entered and said: You whished to see me.

"Mhm, I just wanted to thank ya for the coffee again" she said.

"Your welcome, I can't have you sleeping on your shift now can I" he said.

"How did ya know?" she asked.

"Ryan and Natalia, thanks for the picture by the way" he said.

"You're welcome, so you really liked it" she said.

"I did, you looked so HOT" he said with a smile.

Calleigh blushed and said: So how was working without me today?

"I really missed my second in command, I hope this won't last long, but now I have to go, see you later" he said and left after giving her a long, tender kiss.

Calleigh sighed and started to work.

Later that night, Calleigh, Addison and Jodie were standing in the garage ready to do an experiment with three types of corrode acid

"Ok, ready" said Addison, the others nodded and he pored some of it on a varnished metal plate. The color quickly disappeared. The did the same with the other two when Calleigh suddenly remembered that she had forgotten the case photos at the DNA lab and went to get them.

The other two stood waiting when they heard an explosion and glass shattered then the fire alarm. They stormed over to the DNAlab and found Calleigh laying on the floor among shattered glass and some small flames. Addison quickly got her out, but she was unconscious. Then paramedics came and took her away while fire fighters was stopping the fire.

Addison looked shocked and said: We better call Horatio.

She nodded and wondered what had happened.
