Characters are waaaaay out of their normal behaviour

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! (I cry because of that)

( In Elevator)

"Dammit!" Calleigh breathed, putting her cell back in her pocket.

"So is lil' Ryan and Natalia gonna get us out?" Eric asked, leaning back on the wall.

Calleigh looked at him. "No, they're just gonna sit and watch us on camera." She left out the part, that the only reason they were still stuck, was because her attitude toward Eric.

"Oh...ok!" Eric quipped.

Calleigh eyed him. "You know, you're very cheerful for someone who's stuck in the elevator."

"Well it's been a good day." Eric smiled. Being stuck in an elevator with Calleigh was definitely the best.

"I'm sure it has!" Calleigh said, quite roughly. Obviously unaware of Eric's thoughts; she thought he was talking about Tara.

Eric frowned. He knew something was bothering her, and he badly wanted to ask her what it was, but he knew she would just say, "I'm fine."

He took a deep breath. "So what are we gonna do...and when I mean we, I mean you."

Calleigh couldn't help but smile at that comment. She loved it when she was in charge.

"I'm going to call Horatio." She answered with a smirk spread across her face. "Let's see what he thinks about Natalia and Ryan's smart plan."

And with that, she speed dialed Horatio's number.

(In Security Room)

Natalia and Ryan froze in fear.

"Did she just say she was going to call Horatio?" Ryan asked, panicked.

"Yea, but I really don't think she'll actually do it...."

"She just pressed speed dial, Nat."

"Ok...PANIC!"

The two immediately moved around trying to figure out how to fix the elevators to let the not-yet couple out.

"Hurry Ryan!" Natalia yelled in frantic. "Before H picks up his-"

As if on cue, a cell phone started ringing behind them. And it was no other than Horatio's phone.

The two stopped what they were doing.

Oh that Blondie is soooo going dooown! Natalia thought. She slowly turned around and faced Horatio.

"He...hey...hey H," She stammered.

She nodded to the buzzing cell phone in his hands.

"You shouldn't get that; it'll probably waste your time."

Horatio nodded to the computer screen that displayed Calleigh and Eric. "What are you guys doing? I've been waiting for the elevator for about two minutes!"

"It's all Natalia's fault!" Ryan blurted out. "She won't let them out, unless Calleigh isn't mad at Eric anymore!"

Natalia rolled her eyes. "Clearly, people at this job don't know that concept of keeping quiet...."

"Ms. BoaVista, is this true?" Horatio asked in a gentle tone.

She nodded yes.

He took a step forward. "Natalia, please..." He looked at the screen, and saw Calleigh's back to Eric, while she still waited for him to pick up...."please next time tell me when your gonna do this, so I won't have to miss the beginning of your scheme."

He then sat down beside them, his phone still buzzing in hand.

"Ryan, turn the volume up will ya?"

Ryan did as he was told, and looked at Natalia.

She shrugged and smiled.

(In Elevator)

"Oh my gosh!" Calleigh exclaimed, shutting her phone.

"He's not answering!"

Eric looked at her and shrugged. "Guess we'll have to wait then."

Calleigh moaned and slumped down in the corner.

"I can't believe we're stuck...."

Eric stood towering her.

"You know it's not that bad."

Calleigh looked up at him and was glad that he was acting professional again. She smiled softly.

Eric continued. "Though...." He looked at Calleigh and then took a deep breath."

"I heard from my sister...

Who has a friend...

Who has a boyfriend...

Who has a friend...

Who has a cousin...

Who has a teacher...

Who has a daughter...

Whose best friend's mom, got stuck in an elevator once."

Calleigh's smile dropped in double speed. Great.

"Ok, you completely just made that up."

Eric looked at her like she was insane. "No, why would I?" He continued before she had the chance to protest again.

"Anyway, she was claustaphobic...ya know like Ryan? And she got sooo scared she stared running around in circles to clam herself down."

(In Security Room)

"What a loser..." Ryan said.

(In Elevator)

Calleigh arched an eyebrow. "Did she ever stop running in circles?"

"Yup, when they found her an hour later...." Eric replied.

Calleigh sighed. "Eric, if that story was supposed to make me feel better...it soooooooooo didn't."

"I know, I realized it wouldn't after I told you about it." He said, shaking his head.

Calleigh rolled her eyes yet again. "I can't believe Natalia is doing this to us...I mean I know Ryan has nothing to do with it...he probably just got forced in to it, but this is just plain cruel of Nat."

Eric nodded. "She seemed so nice when I dated her...."

Eric silently cursed himself for saying that in front of Calleigh. I am so stupid."

Calleigh shut her eyes tight and tried to shake that thought go away. She completely forgotten about the relationship they had a while ago. Natalia and now Tara? Does he even notice me?

"Calleigh are you meditating?" Eric suddenly asked.

Calleigh smiled a little, and opened her eyes. "No, I'm just bored."

Eric looked around the elevator, and then sat down beside her. Their shoulders touching each other.

Eric felt Calleigh shiver a little by his touch, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled at her.

"Then let's play a game." He suggested.

Calleigh looked at him, and eyed him curiously. The way he said that, was a tone of voice she was kind of sacred of.

"What game do you have in mind, Mr. Delko?"
