Off the Job"
Chapter 1- Escape
He'd never been this bored at work, he needed to get away. He was leaning against a wall listening to Horatio brief the team on another murder. He couldn't take it anymore, so he left.
'Eric, Eric, where are you going?' Horatio asked. 'Out.' was the only response he got. 'Eric, come back here.' Horatio ordered.
It was useless because he had already left.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
He was finally starting to relax as he walked to his car. He heard hurried footsteps behind him but he ignored them.
'Eric, wait!' Calleigh shouted across the car park. He ignored her. 'Just stop, okay. I feel frustrated too sometimes, but you don't just leave.' Calleigh begged him. 'Look Cal, I just need to get away, at least for a half hour, just to clear my head.' He explained. He unlocked his car. 'Fine, then I'm coming with you.' she said as she got into the passenger seat of his car.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
This is the happiest he'd been in awhile. He was driving along Miami's highways with his best friend in the next seat. Right now Calleigh was singing all the words to every song on the radio.
'You don't just leave, huh Duquesne? He quoted her jokingly. 'Who me?' Calleigh asked laughing, 'When did I ever say that? 'OH MY GOD!' Eric pulled over the car as Calleigh's voice turned from fun to serious in a split second. 'Calleigh, what's wrong?' He asked cautiously. 'Eric, we've been gone for an hour and a half. Horatio is going to kill us!' She yelled. 'Calm down, we're on our way.' He assured her. Calleigh was surprised how much that calmed her.

'Horatio, we are so sorry.' Calleigh said as soon as they saw him. Eric wasn't sorry, but he wasn't about to tell them. 'Don't worry about it. Right now I want you at the Indoor Rifle Range. Adele is there, she'll give you all of the details.' Horatio said, cutting short Calleigh's feverish apology. 'Wow, he let us off.' Calleigh said in disbelief to Eric. 'Well, you know H. Nothing is more important than a case.' He said glad that he didn't have to listen to Horatio lecture them. He didn't want to deal with that today. 'I guess we better get going then.' Her southern voice rang in his head, interrupting his train of thought, and for once he was glad for the interruption.
