Chapter 2

Back at the Crime Scene

Eric and Horatio were hard at work. They thought if they keep their minds
at work they wouldn't think too much about Calleigh. It wasn't working.
They hadn't gotten a call from Speed and it was really starting to worry
them both. Eric was on his hands and knees trying to the bullet that had
shot Calleigh. "Here it is H." Eric said weakly. The bullet was covered in
blood and it made him feel like he was going to throw up. As he bag the
bullet Horatio got a call from Alexx.
"That was Alexx" Horatio said as he hung up, "she told me that Calleigh
will be fine once she gets out of surgery, and that the post on our friend
Hank Kerner is done."
"Some friend he is," stated Eric
"I've got to get back to they lab. Eric keep me posted"
"Will do boss."
At the lab.

Horatio walked in to the cold morgue. "God, Alexx it feels like a freezer
in here."
"Yeah well the AC is turned down way to low and the knob is broken thanks
to one of the night shift guys." Alexx said with a look of disgust. "Anyway
I finish the post for Hank Kerner and found only one bullet. It went in
through his chest and into his lung where it got stuck."
"Thanks Alexx I'll get this to ballistics."
"No problem sugar."
And with that Horatio head off the to the ballistics lab. Sure Calleigh
processing the bullet but maybe just maybe the new night shift guy would do
a half descent job. Calleigh was the number 2 ballistics expert in the
country and this guy was fresh out of the academy and this case was too
important to mess up.
"Hi, Matt right?" Horatio asked trying to be polite as possible. "I'm
Horatio Cain, and I need these bullets processed. This one came out of Hank
Kerner and should match this gun." Horatio said has he handed the bullet
and Calleigh's gun to him. "Now this bullet pierce Calleigh's leg and
should make with this gun." Horatio was trying to make it easy for Matt so
that he could screw up.
"Ok, no problem. I should be done with in the hour." Matt replied. Matt was
barley 22 and really nice but he had no idea who, Calleigh was and how
important the case was to everyone.
"Look I need you to take your time and make sure everything is right. This
case can not go wrong." Horatio was getting pissed and before he could
continue his cell phone rang. Saved ball the bell thought Matt as Horatio
walked out of the lab.
Once Horatio got off the phone with Tim he had called Eric, and Alexx to
let them know that Calleigh had gotten out of surgery.
TBC.
