"What are you guys doing?" Calleigh asked carefully as she approached them on the roof of the parking garage. She'd been looking for them everywhere. Now she was irritated and her feet hurt and she'd found the guys playing around instead of working.
Eric and Ryan both grinned at her, and she couldn't stay mad for long. They were her boys, after all…
"Haven't you seen that episode of Mythbusters where they try to blow up the pig's stomach?" Wolfe asked.
"What?"
"You know, Cal," Eric chimed in, "they're trying to prove whether or not soda pop and Alka-Seltzer will blow up someone's stomach."
"That's an urban legend."
Eric huffed. "Calleigh, that's the point."
"A pig's stomach is the closest to a human stomach," Ryan explained.
"Okay, I get that. But why are y'all out here trying to blow up a pig's stomach instead of down there," she pointed, "doing your jobs?"
"The husband did it," Ryan said matter-of-factly.
"Horatio's already booked him," Eric added. "We're waiting on the next call out."
"Oh, and there's nothing else you could be working on."
Eric walked over to his best friend and placed his hands on her shoulders. "C'mon, Cal," he said gently. "Today sucked. Take a break with us."
Cal rolled her eyes and playfully pushed Eric back a step. "Oh, fine. But only because you asked nicely."
The two CSIs turned around just in time to hear a terrific ripping noise and a massive, watery explosion. The next second, Eric and Calleigh were covered from head to toe in soda pop, Alka-Seltzer, and pig gunk.
"RYAN!"
"Ooops…"
