Calleigh looked at Horatio then looked around the morgue " Lets go to your office please we need some privacy to talk about this."

Horatio took Calleigh's hand and led her to his office sitting down with her on the couch "Tell me what ever you say goes no further then this room I promise."

Calleigh stood up pacing the room "I was 15 when I fell pregnant and there are two men who could be Melinda /means father. That's why I don't want blood tests I don't want to know who her father is " Horatio looked at his girlfriend "Don't you want to know if she's yours "

Calleigh shook her head "No dna tests on me would reveal who the father is because one of the possible fathers is my father. He only ever did it once and he doesn't even remember and I don't want him to remember Horatio."

Horatio "your father who was the other man."

Calleigh sat down on Horiatio's desk needing the space between them "A friend of my dads. Things were really bad at home when I was 15 mum and Dad were drinking a lot and any money that we had went on alcohol. I was taking care of my brothers and we had no food in the house. Dad was passed out when his friend arrived at the house and we got talking and I told this man how bad things were he had a daughter in my class at school. You have to understand this guy came from a really well to do family and he had a lot of power still does even now. He offered me two hundred dollars to sleep with him back at his house because his wife and kids were away visiting her parents." Calleigh paused in her story trying to gather her thoughts.

Horatio "He knew you were underage"

Calleigh laughed a bitter laugh "That didn't matter to him he just saw something he liked and he knew I'd do anything for my brothers. If I complained no one would believe me and we both knew that I was street trash compared to him. I put my brothers to bed that night promising them that I would have something for them in the morning and I went to his house. We made love and he paid me for the pleasure"

Horatio stood up stepping towards Calleigh and Calleigh looked at him holding up her hand "Please let me finish before you say anything. I got home and Dad was in my room with his belt he looked at me and he knew what I'd done he beat me then he raped me."

Horatio shook his head kneeling down in front of Calleigh. "You never told anyone."

Calleigh shook her head "No who was I meant to tell then I found out I was pregnant and Mr powerful was worried that he'd be named as the babies father but I kept quiet. He was running for government couldn't risk the scandal so he tried to pay me to keep quiet but I wouldn't take the money. So what do you think of your slut of a girlfriend."

Horatio shook his head "don't talk like that you were a child someone should have loved you and protected you from the men around you their to blame for this Calleigh not you. What happened to this man "

Calleigh "His still powerful his on the government -"

Tim knocked on the door "Calleigh theres been a 911 call in your dads been found shot at his apartment his still alive thankfully but your needed at the hospital."

Hoartatio "Thanks Tim Calleigh lets go."

Horatio drove them to the hospital and Calleigh turned to look at Horatio "H my daughter now my dad what the hell is going on."

Horatio "I have no idea but we need to find out whats going on and quickly."
