After a while, Horatio walked in and wrapped his arms around Calleigh's waist with her back to him and pressed his lips to the back of her neck, whispering,
"I'm sorry,"
"Me too," She whispered back, turned around and kissed him.
He smiled and they both fell asleep entwined in each other's arm.
In the morning, Calleigh woke to find Horatio gone, and a note on the bedside table that read,
"Beautiful, don't be too mad at me, but I took the day off for you. All I ask is that you be careful and take your gun everywhere you go. I'll explain later. Be safe."
He didn't sign him name to it, he didn't need to. She knew exactly who had written it, and that person was going to get it when he got home that night. She sighed in frustration and tried to go back to sleep. She found that impossible, so she got up and spent the day watching TV.

Later, when she knew that Horatio, Eric, Ryan, Natalia and Alexx had left the lab, she quietly snuck to the lab and pulled out the case file that was bothering Horatio the most.
The Judge's case.
She immediately got to work on it, and a few hours later her face lit up as she quickly packed the evidence away in a secure and safe place. She climbed into her Hummer and drove to where she knew Horatio, Eric and Alexx were. Speed's grave.

Meanwhile…
Eric pulled up to Speed's gravesite with a sad sigh. He got out and slowly walked over to Speed's grave, as it was the three year anniversary, if you could call something so sad that, of his death. Eric knelt by his grave for a brief moment, and then stood up, softly talking to Speed about the cases he had dealt with, and had been dealing with. He didn't notice another Hummer pull up and a certain red head jump out and open the passenger seat for a certain dark haired, dark skinned woman. They stood there, watching Eric until he stood up and gazed out into the distance.
Then they walked up to him and Horatio said,
"Eric,"
He turned around and said,
"H, Alexx, what're you doing, uh, never mind,"
They smiled at him and Alexx crossed over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder and said,
"How're you doing, baby?"
"I'm fine, Alexx,"
"Really?"
Alexx said, narrowing her eyes.
"Really," Eric said, a hint of a smile on his face.
"Well, okay then,"
She grabbed Eric's arm and led him away from the grave, giving Horatio the privacy he needed. Horatio knelt by Speed's grave and then told him about the phone call he had gotten, and since then he had been super careful about Calleigh's safety, since they didn't have her, whoever 'they' were. He kept talking until he ran out of things to say. He walked away and let Alexx take her turn.
Alexx walked over to the grave and knelt by him and talked to him softly for a while, while Horatio and Eric stared into the ocean nearby. When she was done, she joined them.
They didn't notice another Hummer pulling up and a certain blonde woman get out with a folder in hand and a gleeful smile on her face, the kind she gets when she is about to solve a case. She saw the three of them standing there and sighed.
