DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI Miami and i don't make any money from it

Chapter 2.

Calleigh sat down in the firearms head in her hands, thinking about the young girl that was a refection of her. She could have been her when she was young, only she had a girlyer style than this girl. That had been wearing torn jeans, a black top with a skull and black leather jacket. Her hair was held back with a scarf that match the T-shirt and her car was an expensive one as she had checked it in the impound lot moments earlier.

Calleigh thought of the name Margaret Hope Warner and thinking of the car her parents had to be very upper class which was why she was probably acting up.

She sighed as she heard Horatio's voice rumble, "Something wrong?"

"Just wonder if I had a daughter how she would have turned out," she answered.

"With you as a mother, pretty good," he said and smiled at her.

"I wouldn't be so sure, how was it to get to know Kyle after all these years?" she asked.

"Challenging, but I wish I was there from the start, why are you asking me this?" he wanted to know.

"Just curious, hey do you know where Julia is?" she asked.

"I would assume either at work or at home why?" he answered a little confused.

"Need to ask her something, you got the address," she said.

He gave it to her and she said, "See you in a little while."

He nodded just as Natalia came in and asked, "Where was she going?"

"To see Julia for some reason," he said rather puzzled.

"Bet it's about that girl in hold up," said Natalia thoughtfully.

"Who?" Horatio asked.

"Never mind, I gotto…" said Natalia and headed back to DNA while Horatio looked confused after her.


Calleigh knocked on Julia's office door, before entering and asked, "Do you have a moment?"

Julia looked surprised at her and said, "Yes of course, Calleigh right?"

"Yes, so I have a question regarding Kyle, well more than one actually," said Calleigh.

"I'm listening," said Julia, hoping he wasn't in trouble again.

"So I was wondering when you left him years ago, did you ever regret that?" she asked.

"Every single day," Julia answered.

"Did it ever occur to you to look for him?" Calleigh asked.

"I did, but the timing never seemed right and I back then I was too mentally ill," said Julia honest.

"Did you give him anything to remember you by?" Calleigh wanted to know.

"Just his first name, now want to tell me what this is really about?" Julia asked with a frown.

"Just wondering that's all," said Calleigh thoughtfully.

"It was weird seeing him after all these years, but now we are having a more or less workable relationship even if Horatio is his main guardian. I love him, care deeply for him and will always be there for him and he knows that," said Julia without the younger blonde asking.

Calleigh nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thank you, but it's all too late, I gotto go."

Julia shook her head thinking, "Oh Calleigh it's never too late."
