Author: Lanah
Summary: Will Horatio lose what he holds most valuable?
"It's your turn Handsome." Calleigh yawned,
"I know, I'm thinking." Horatio picked up his choice of letters placing them on the Scrabble board.
"Immortal, that's 21 points." Calleigh huffed, trying to think of what could beat that.
"Good luck." Horatio teased.
"Bring it on." She sassed. Placing her word through the L she created pleasant. "That's 15 points plus triple word score bonus!" Calleigh clapped her hands in excitement.
"So that's 147 points to me and 139 to me. OK break time." Horatio stood up and walked into the kitchen. Shuffling around in the cupboards Horatio appeared with a tray in his hands. Placing it on the floor next to the coffee table he resumed his position on the floor across from a smiling Calleigh. Handing her a glass of lemonade and a choc chip cookie Horatio stole a glance at her letters.
"That's cheating mister."
"What do you plan on doing about it?"
"I intend to kick you're a double s at Scramble, next word wins."
"You're on blue eyes." He whispered in reply.
"Captivate. Double bonus points gives me 167 for a lead of 28."
Carefully processing each of his letters as that of a crime scene Horatio came up with the perfect word. Removing his letters and placing them on the board he revealed his word.
"Calleigh. Triple bonus points gives me a total score of 168, which means I kicked your a double s!" Horatio stated matter-of-factly.
"Ummm sweetie in the game of Scrabble using names is against the rules. Do you know what that means?" Calleigh moved over to his side of the small coffee table. "It means you lose. This then means you owe me a back rub."
Horatio turned in his place to face Calleigh a defeated expression on his face. Within seconds Horatio and Calleigh pinned to the ground beneath him. Lowering his lips to her ear his voice became husky as he whispered in her ear. "I can think of something much better then a back rub."
Before she could reply the phone started to ring.
"I'll get it." Horatio jumped up releasing Calleigh from his grip. "Hello."
"It's a Sunday, can' it wait till tomorrow morning?"
"Alright I'll be there in 20 minutes." Hanging up the phone he sighed.
"Who was that?" Calleigh was now standing up packing away their game.
"Tripp, he needs me to sign some urgent papers right away. I'll only be an hour or so." Pulling on his coat and grabbing the keys he went to leave.
"Well I need to grab some things from the store and sign off on an old case so I'll tag along if you don't mind."
"Of course I don't mind honey."
"I'll meet you out here in ½ an hour."
"Aright, but ½ an hour and no more, promise?"
"I promise." Horatio kissed Calleigh in the cheek and went inside.
Once Calleigh had finished her work she went across the road to grab some dinner. Leaving the Chinese restaurant it began to rain, not having anything to protect against she ran to the crossing. Calleigh looked left, looked right and began to cross the road.
Horatio exited CSI HQ to see Calleigh jogging over the crossing with their dinner in tow. Suddenly a pair of headlights pierced the night sky, locking onto Calleigh, Horatio became panicked. As the lights grew near their speed did not slow down. Calleigh didn't see the car; she didn't see the headlights follow her onto the foot path. It was in that minute that time came to a complete stop. The sound of metal on flesh shattered the silence of the night. The driver swerved back onto the road and vanished into the rain. With a sickening thud Calleigh fell back to Earth rolling onto the wet grass of CSI.
"CALLEIGH!!" Horatio screamed as he ran to her side.
TBC.
"I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone."
"It's your turn Handsome." Calleigh yawned,
