CHAPTER 4

Horatio looked at Eric and smiled, "If you want to ask her out then do it, but don't wait to long or you might start to change your mind." With that said H left.

Eric wasn't surprised that H's advice was very helpful, and Eric made up his mind. He was going to ask Calleigh out, just how and when was another hurdle he had to overcome.

Days went by and Eric still hadn't gained enough courage to ask her the question. But today was going to be the day. He strolled into work and received his messages, hearing his phone go off he looked at it and saw that he had a call out. Heading towards the Hummer, he got in and waited for her.

"Hey Eric," she said a she lifted herself into the truck.

"Hi, you ready to head out?"

"Yeah."

"Well let's go, what's up?" she asked

Eric's eyes looked straight at her, "nothin, just thinking, where are we headed?"

"Lauderhill, and if you need to talk you know I'm here for you," she said not as a question but as a statement.

"Thanks I might take you up on that offer."

They arrived at the scene and awaiting them was Horatio. The two walked up to H and the discussed the matter of the scene. "Now we have two victims, one male and one female. Its looks a little too clean, so keep your eyes open," H left and went around to the back of the house.

Alexx looked up from the male victim, "Hey you two," she said happily.

"Hey," they said in unison.

"What do we have, Alexx?"

"Alright, say hello to Aiden Peters. Looks like asphyxiation, but there are some stab wounds, I'll know more at post." The three of them walked towards the woman lying on the floor, and Alexx knelt down.

"Here is Anabella Peters, wife of our first victim. Looks like asphyxiation as well, but she does have a few lacerations on the chest, arms, and legs."

Eric took pictures of the bodies, and after he was finished gave Alexx the all clear. She nodded and turned to give the body haulers the go ahead, and left following the body haulers to her van.

Eric and Calleigh began processing the scene, looking for fingerprints, epithelial matter, and fluid, anything that would help them find the killer.

They packed up there equipment and headed towards headquarters. Soon Eric parked the Hummer and walked into the building evidence in hand.

" So do you want to get started and I'll meet with you later?" she asked him

"That's fine where are you going?" he asked

"I need to find Horatio."

"When you're done, can we talk later on?"

"Yes," she said with a huge smile.

-- Much Later--

Eric locked up the evidence and was about to leave to go home. He walked down the hallway and noticed her long blonde hair. "Calleigh" he called. Calleigh turned and noticed right away it was Eric.

"I'm glad everyone here knows me, because if they didn't they would know my name now."

"Sorry I had to get your attention."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing hopefully, can we go somewhere and talk," he asked with his eyes pleading.

"Yeah, where do you want to go?" she asked

"Anywhere you feel comfortable."

"Well let me get my things and we can head to the beach."

"Fine I'll be in my truck, and I'll follow you."

Eric followed her, zooming in and out of traffic they parked there cars and began to walk towards the sands. Calleigh looked to Eric, "what's on your mind" she asked.

Eric took in a deep breath, "a lot actually, but first I brought a blanket do you want to sit?" They sat on the green blanket and he looked at her, "Calleigh I've been thinking and I wanted you to know my thoughts since they do involve you." She looked at him puzzled, "go for it."

"I've always liked you and recently my feelings for you have multiplied tenfold. And I just wanted to know if you would like to go out with me?"

She gazed out at the water, and smiled. She turned her sights back to him, "I'd like that."

"Where would you like to go?" he questioned.

"I'll think about it and call you," she said as they peered into each others eyes, while Eric moved a few strands away from Calleighs face.

"Alright, but you have to tell me when."

"Friday or Saturday, it doesn't matter. Whatever is good for you is good for me," she said as they walked towards there cars. She got in her car, and rolled down her window. "I'll call you later…um…bye."

"Bye Cal," he said with a smile as wide as a Cheshire cats.
