Hi

This is the new chapter. Took some time, sorry for that. Hope you like it.


New Team

I am not sure how many girlfriends Eric had after he moved out, because he did never talk to me about them. This changed shortly after he started his new job at the CSI when he came home with a photo of his new team. Six persons were there, smiling into the camera. Three of them men and three women. Eric stood on the left, next to a man who was about his age.

"That's Tim Speedle. But we call him Speed." Eric explained to me and then pointed to the man next to Speed. "That's Horatio Caine. He is my boss."

Three women were seated on chairs in front of them. Directly in front of Eric was sitting a cute brunette, next to her an Afro-American woman and next to her a blonde one, who reminded me of someone.

"Maxin Valera - DNA, Alexx Woods - pathologist and Calleigh Duquesne - ballistic expert." Eric said with a big smile.

The red haired man, Horatio, had his hand on Calleigh's shoulder.

"It looks much more like family then partners." I said.

"Yeah. It's really like a family. They are all so nice."

"I think I know the blonde one."

"Really?" Eric asked. "I do not know much about her. I am always on the cases with Speed. Horatio is the one who investigates mostly with Calleigh. But she is always there if I have a question. I don't see how you could possibly know her. She is from Louisiana."

"She seems to be a really nice girl, why don't you ask her out? Or is there something going on between her and your boss?"

"No, Horatio is just like a father to the whole team. And… well…. I already tried to ask her out, or at least for her phone number. But… she refused. That was at a time before I even joined the academy." , he said.

"Well she is in your team, isn't she?"

"Yes", he said not knowing were I was going.

"Then I guess you have her number now."
