Chapter 4

At the lab\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

R: "H, do we have anymore information on who hit Eric and Calleigh?"

H: "No but you may want to look at something I found interesting, it was sent to me and luckily it's not popular, at all."

They walked into Horatio's office and H signed onto the computer and click on his email and clicked on a lick in an email.

R: "No way! Is it true?"

H: "I don't think so, there are a few videos and pictures."

R: "Some of these are fake anyways."

H: "The most recent update is this video from the hospital." Ryan watched and laughed. H gave him a look.

R: "What those things are funny."

H: "Yes but I can see why people are making this mistake."

R: "H can you blame her for doing that?"

H: "Not really, he needs something to do."

N: "I say we don't look into it, no one looks at this site anyways."

H: "Where did you come from?"

N: "I heard you guys talking and decided to come see, what did you not want me to see this?"

H: "No it's fine I was going to show you anyways."

N: "I've already seen it anyways."

H: "Really? Have they?"

N: "Not that I know of."

R: "How did you find out about it?"

N: "I found a website that a some people get on, it's basically a bunch of people make up rumors about the csi's, some things are true, like they mention your OCD. Other's are stupid like I don't get seen often because I'm allergic to the sun."

H: "Really? Can you give me the web address?"

N: "Sure" Natalia writes it down then they all get back to work.

Later that day at 7 p.m. Eric is released from the hospital. Horatio gave him a ride home.

E: "Anything new on the case?"

H: "I figured you would of asked around some and found out."

E: "Well you Ryan and Nat didn't visit me 2day or yesterday and Calleigh said you haven't allowed her near the lab so she doesn't know anything."

H: "Yes, it's not easy keeping her away."

E: "So anything new?"

H: "Yes a few things, like the guy that hit you guys, is now in prison."

E: "Really? Does he have anything to do with the murder?"

H: "Yes which is why we have the right to continue to have him questioned."

E: "Good, I want to talk to the guy. When can I come back?"

H: "After this case is finished."

E: "What? H, come on, Calleigh gets to come back 2mro."

H: "Hopefully we will have this case finished by the end of the day 2mro." He looked at Eric.

E: "Does that mean I can come back the next day?"

H: "Not unless we finish it, if we don't you are not coming back yet."

E: "H just tell me when I can come back."

H: "2 days after 2mro."

E: "Okay, thank you."

H: "Unless we haven't closed this case."

E: "Why does Calleigh get to work on the case then?"

H: "She's not, she's working on any other case we need her too, she will not work on this one."

E: "Fine. Why do I have the feeling this isn't just because we got hit?''

H: "Because it's not."

E: "So do you want to tell me what it is about?"

H: "Not yet, don't worry Calleigh won't know either."

E: "So this involves both of us."

H: "Yes."

E: "And you can't tell us?"

H: "I can but I'm not going to yet."

E: "Alright, thanks for the ride H, I'll see you in a few days."

They pulled into Eric's driveway and Eric got out and went inside. He watched some news, then some baseball. Then he went to bed without eating supper.

The next morning Calleigh walked into work very happy to be back.

N: "Hey Cal, you look like you're in a good mood."

C: "I'm just glad to finally have something to do."

N: "Haven't you been going to see Eric in the hospital?"

C: "Yes a couple times, how did you know that?"

N: "Little birdy told me."

C: "What little birdy?"

N: "No seriously that's the name of the thing that told me."

C:"What?"

N: "Nevermind you'll find out eventually.''

C: "Nat, tell me. Now."

N: "Calleigh, if you don't know already from H then I'm not going to tell you, he probably doesn't want me too.''

C: "H? What he saw me there or something? You know what I don't even care, so what I visited Eric, I got bored and he was just laying there in the hospital so we just sat in there and talked, kept each other company, you know."

N: "Ya, okay you're working the new case we got yesterday."

C: "What?"

N: "H doesn't want you or Eric to work this case, didn't he tell you?"

C: "No, that's weird, why can't we work it?"

N: "I don't know. It maybe that you 2 got in that car wreck."

C: "No it's not that, I'll go find him and figure this out."

Calleigh walks into Horatio's office.

C: "H you got a minute?"

H: "Sure, what do you need?"

C: "Why can't I work the Nickel's case?''

H: "Because there is more going on and I don't want you or Eric out in public just yet."

C: "What's going on?"

H: "A little birdy is talking up a storm."

C: "Again with a little birdy, what's going on?''

H: "Look, finish the Newton case then we will talk the day after 2mro. 2mro you have the day off, okay?"

C:"Okay."

Calleigh finished the case and went home, it was almost 8 when she got home. Her phone started to ring.

"Duquesne."

"Hey Cal it's Eric, so what's up with the case?"

"Hey Eric. I don't know, I'm not allowed to work the case so I don't know anything. How's sitting around the house?"

"It's alright, I went down to the beach 2day, not sure on plans 2mro but I get to go back the day after 2mro."

"Well how about we hang out 2mro, H said I have the day off."

"Really why?"

"Apparently some little birdy is talking or something, Nat and H both mentioned a little birdy. H said more is going on then the case so neither one of us can be seen in public or something, which is why we can't work the Nickel's case."

" O that's interesting, then how about we go on a trail ride, I know a good place right outside of Miami. You like horses right?"

"Ya I use to ride them, that'll be fun. Thanks."

"Alright I'll see you 2mro then. I'll pick you up around noon, we can go have lunch then go to the trail."

"Okay sounds great, see you then."

They hung up and went to bed.
