RING RING, RING RING. Calleigh glances at her phone and sees Horatio's name on the caller ID. She lets out a tired sigh. It's been hours since Eric was rushed to the hospital and she has been told nothing. She didn't think it would take this long just for a snake bite. But then again, it was a serious snake bite, a deadly snake bite.

Calleigh pulls the phone up to her ear and tries to make her voice as professional as possible. "Duquesne", she says almost sounding like a robot. I guess that was a little too professional, she thinks to herself.

"Hey Calleigh how is he?" Horatio's voice is full of concern.

"Um I'm not sure they haven't told me anything, he's still in intensive care", Calleigh replies. Her eyes start stinging and she has a big lump in her throat. She slumps in a chair in the waiting room and tells herself to calm down. She doesn't want to start crying while she is on the phone to her boss.

"Ok tell you what, Speed and I will be down there a little later. In the meantime I think you should go get something to eat and drink, look after yourself", Horatio almost orders to her.

"Ok," she replies, "How are we doing on the case?"

"Well we have a suspect and very strong evidence linking him to the crime but I don't want you to worry about that right now. I'll see you later", Horatio doesn't wait for a reply and hangs up. It wasn't anything personal; Horatio was always like that when he was on a case.

Calleigh glances at the clock and sighs. "Why won't they tell me what's going on, why isn't he out yet?" she mutters to herself

Back at the station Horatio is interrogating a possible suspect.

"Why'd you do Watson, huh, why'd you murder an innocent girl", Horatio leans towards the suspect. Tim is standing in the corner, arms crossed.

"That bitch didn't pay me my money. I told her if I don't get it when I want it, she'll be sorry. And what does she do, she sends her no-good brother after me. See these cuts", Watson points to the cuts and bruises on his face, "Now I didn't get that ice-skating, he pounded me, she had it coming, it was revenge."

A small smile creeps across Watson's face.

Horatio's face grows dark with anger, "What's so funny Watson, the fact that you're gonna spend the rest of your life jail, huh"

"Did you have a hard time...collecting her body. I planted a little pressie in the dumpster just for you guys", Watson's evil grin widens.

Horatio pulls Watson up by the collar and slams him into the back wall.

"You're gonna be sorry you ever, EVER did that." He turns his head towards Yelina, keeping in eye contact with Watson. "Get him outta my sight before I do something I'll regret".

Horatio lets go of Watson never taking his eyes off of him. Yelina handcuffs him and walks him out the room.

At the hospital Calleigh is lying in a chair slowly drinking some coffee. As she brushes hair behind her ear, she sees the doctor walking down the hall towards her. Calleigh jumps up and almost spills her coffee.

"What's going on, is he ok what..." Calleigh is brought to a stop when she notices the look in the doctor's eyes. Calleigh feels the lump in her throat and the stinging in her eyes return.

The Doctor takes in a deep breath and plainly says, "I believe we have a problem".
