A/N: Once again sorry for the lateness, had tons of homework all week. Thanks for the reviews, they mean a lot.

Eric slams his door shut and falls into his leather couch. He kicks off his shoes and tries his best to relax. It's not easy, seeing as he had a million horrible thoughts running through his head. Now that Calleigh knows, it's only a matter of time before Horatio hears something. Eric doesn't want his boss to find out from local gossip, he has to tell him face to face.

CALLEIGH'S APARTMENT

"Whoa, wait. What's going on", Calleigh wakes up to find herself lying on the floor. She looks around and sees the pills scattered on the floor. "Wow", she says out aloud, "Lucky they were only sleeping pills, or I'd be in big trouble".

AT CSI

"Uh, H?" Eric asks in a shaky voice. Horatio turns around to see Eric as pale as a ghost.

"What's up?" Horatio asks leading him into his office. 3 minutes later, Horatio knows everything and hasn't said a word.

Finally after Horatio has been listening intensly, he decides to speak. "It's impossible, all staff had a mandatory blood test last week, you were clear of everything", Horatio says in a stern, steady voice.

"What?" Eric asks now leaning his elbow on the bench. Horatio walks out the door and Eric immediately follows.

"Where are we going?" Eric asks trying to keep up.

5 MINUTES LATER

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. Eric's blood test comes through the scanner.

"This is insane, it can't be true, the doctor said..."

"Well obviously the doctor was wrong", Horatio cuts Eric off.

Without warning, Horatio runs out the door again and Eric follows.

HOSPITAL

Horatio walks into the hospital where Eric was treated and steps up to the information desk.

"Can I help?" asks the receptionist behind the counter. Horatio slides his glasses off his face and gives her a stern look.

"Lieutenant Caine, Miami Dade", Horatio replies flashing his badge, "I need to know which doctor was attended to Eric Delko after a lethal snake bite a couple of days ago".

The receptionist gives Horatio a daring look. "I would like to help", she says bitting her bottom lip, "but I can't give away that information, doctor-patient confidentially"

Eric steps up to the desk and flashes his badge, "I am Eric Delko and I need to know who that doctor was". The receptionist nods her head, types into the computer and waits for 30 seconds.

"Dr. Roger Teser. Employed for 2 years", the receptionist answers turning the computer monitor around so Eric and Horatio can see the picture of the doctor.

Eric's mouth opens in shock and Horatio gasps in realisation.

"That's Arthur Rudfrey. A convicted cop killer, he was sentenced for life but broke out of prison about 2 and a half years ago. You were the CSI on the case. As he was being taken away, he swore revenge on you", Horatio says reminding Eric.

"He was the doctor that told me about the AIDS", Eric says pulling out his phone.

"Hey Tripp, we got a lead on the Arthur Rudfrey case", Eric says into his phone.

Horatio turns back to the receptionist who is completely confused by now. "Ms. we need his address", Horatio tells, more than asks, the receptionist. The receptionist types away on the computer like mad. Ten seconds later she replies, "49 Prescott Street, just around the corner".

"49 Prescott Street", Eric repeats in his phone, "Okay we'll meet you there, bye"

Horatio and Eric run out the hospital doors and head for 49 Prescott Street.

On the way there Eric calls Calleigh's cell phone.

"Calleigh, hey it's Eric, look I know you don't wanna talk right now but you have to listen"

"Okay"

"The doctor who told me I had AIDS was Arthur Rudfrey, the cop killer, we ran tests and he was lying, I'm okay"

"I don't know what to say..."

"H and I are heading over to his house now, Tripp should be..."

"I'm coming"

"Calleigh wait..."

"I'm coming"

"..see you there"

Tripp's car pulls up to the house. Tripp gets out and Calleigh is with him.

Tripp and a couple of other police officers including Horatio go into the house. Eric and Calleigh wait out the front. After a couple of seconds in awkward silence Calleigh unexpectedly wraps her arms around Eric's neck and pulls him in close. Eric lets out a relieved sigh and rests his chin on her head.

"I'm so sorry for what I did", Calleigh apologises.

"It's okay, I understand", Eric replies.

"Clear", someone yells out from in the house. Calleigh and Eric run inside.

As they both walk in the door at the same time, their hands brush against each other and they both smile still looking ahead.

"Eric, come see this", Horatio calls Eric into the bedroom.

On the bedroom wall, there is writing dripping in blood. Calleigh follows into the room and cups a hand over her mouth. "Oh my", she stutters and stares at Eric.

On the wall reads, "ERIC DELKO, BETTER START DIGGING THAT GRAVE, I'M COMING FOR YOU"

A/N: Looks like Eric has an enemy, a cop killer, promising a killer ending. If you want to find out what happens next, send me your reviews. BTW I was going to have a more dramatic thing with Calleigh and the pills but I decided to change it, what did you think?
