Prologue
Tim walked into Ballistics and smiled to himself, seeing Calleigh working quietly. He didn't want to disturb her but he knew he had to.
"Calleigh..."
She looked up and smiled.
"Hey Speed. Whatcha got?" she asked, rubbing her eyes. Her diamond ring sparkled in the bright light, making Tim clench his fists. "Speed?"
"Huh?"
"What do you have for me?" Calleigh asked.
"I need you to match this to that bullet I gave you before." Tim replied. Calleigh nodded and took the evidence envelope from him. Her fingers grazed his hand lightly, making him jump.
"What's with you today?"
"Nothing." Tim muttered. "I'm tired."
Calleigh shrugged and got to work. Tim watched her silently, leaning against the table.
"I can page you with the results you know." Calleigh said, smiling into the microscope.
"I've got nothing better to do." Tim said. 'I like watching you.' he added silently. Calleigh made an 'o-kay' look and looked around. "What are you looking for?"
"My pen." Calleigh replied. "Oh..."
She bent down, making Tim raise an eyebrow and cock his head... hoping to get a better view.
'Man she's got a nice...'
"Calleigh!"
She glanced over her shoulder and smiled.
"John, hey."
Tim bit his tongue to stop himself from saying anything.
"Just page me with the results Calleigh." he said quietly, turning around. "Hagen..."
"Speedle."
"Well Tim, I'm almost done here." Calleigh started.
"Just please, page me. I remembered Valera has my DNA results." he said, walking out. John glared at the CSI's back.
"What do you got for me today?" Calleigh asked, turning back to the microscope. She smiled slightly as John's arms slipped around her waist.
"Nothing but my love." he murmured.
"When did you turn into a romantic?" Calleigh wondered.
"Since I met you."
He planted a kiss on her shoulder and pulled away from her.
"What did Speedle want?"
"Just his results." Calleigh replied, giving him a look. "You know... just because I am your fiancee doesn't mean I can't be friendly with everyone else in the world."
John nodded.
"He's my best friend babe." Calleigh said.
'My best friend doesn't look at my ass.' John thought.
"Are we still on for tonight?" he asked.
"Oh. I'm going out with Valera. Sorry John." Calleigh replied. "You know... last night as a single woman."
"You're not single."
"Not married then." Calleigh smirked.
Tim walked into DNA and narrowed his eyes in suspicion when he saw Eric and Valera hunched over a stool.
"Are you sure?" Valera muttered.
"This plan is fail-proof." Eric replied. "You get Calleigh there and I'll... what?"
He turned when Valera sent him a look.
"Speed, what's up man?" Eric asked quickly.
"What are we talking about?" he replied.
"Nothing." Valera said. "Just my night out with Calleigh."
"Ah... do you have my results?" Tim asked. Valera stared at him.
"Results?"
"Yeah those things you give me when I give you DNA to process." Tim smart mouthed.
"You're such a comedian." Valera said dryly. "They're not done yet."
"We've been plotting." Eric mumbled and Valera slapped him over the head. "Val!"
"Stop being stupid." she hissed.
"I don't even want to know." Tim said, shaking his head.
"Speed do you want to come out tonight?" Eric asked.
"Where?"
"This new restaurant... The Bistro."
"No."
"Please? We'll pick up a few women..."
"Delko, no."
"If you're still hung up on C..."
"Shut up!" Tim exclaimed. "We're not talking about that."
"What are we not talking about?" Valera asked, acting oblivious. "Just go out with him."
"Who died and made you queen?" Tim snapped.
"Hey I'm just suggesting you go out and get a life."
A fight soon broke out.
"Why do you two do this?" Tim asked.
"We care about you Tim." Valera replied.
"Women Speed! Women!" Eric exclaimed.
"I'm sorry but I'm not you."
"That's right. You have to settle for one woman and one woman only." Eric snapped. "You've become a hermit since they got engaged."
"SHUT UP!" Tim yelled. "That is none of your business."
"Children..."
The three turned towards the door to see Horatio.
"Tell them to stay out of my personal space." Tim pleaded, walking out. Horatio turned to Eric and Valera, an eyebrow raised.
"Stop trying to set him up." he said simply.
"H, who do you see Speed growing old with?" Eric asked.
"The way it seems... by the way he looks at her... Calleigh."
"We're trying to get them together. Just go out to dinner, casually bump into Val and Cal... hehe that rhymed and then me and Valera leave, making the two of them stay and eat dinner together." Eric said. "Do you really want Calleigh marrying Hagen?"
"Its her decision. Stop interfering with the three of them." Horatio said.
"I can't believe you're making me do this." Tim grumbled. Eric smirked at his friend.
"We're just going out for dinner. My friend is gonna be here. She's pretty hot." he said.
"Great. I'll see her tomorrow in your bed." Tim muttered.
"Maybe you'll be in the bed with her."
