"Eric and Speed want to see you so I'll come back later." Horatio dropped a kiss on Calleigh's forehead.

"Can you ask Alexx if she can run by my apartment and get me some clothes and pyjamas that will fit over my cast?" Calleigh asked.

"I can go if you tell me what you need." Horatio offered.

"That's sweet of you to offer Horatio, but it's a little soon to be letting you rummage around my underwear drawer." Calleigh pointed out.

"I'll call and ask her." Horatio smiled.

"She has a spare key."

"I'll be right back." Horatio stood and walked out into the hallway. "You can go in and see her." He told Eric and Speed.

"How's she doing?" Eric inquired.

"They've set her leg so she should be allowed home in about a week. Then allowed back to work a week or so after that, when I find some to assist her. I've got to call Alexx."

"Hey Cal." Eric said. "We brought you a plant." He announced and put it by the side of her bed.

"It's a very nice plant thank."

"I'm glad you're okay." He kissed her cheek.

"Me too." Calleigh replied.

"How are you feeling?" Speed asked.

"I'm still a little high from the pain killers they have me on for my leg. But I'll be fine."

"You scared the hell out of us disappearing like that." Speed commented.

"I'm just glad you found me." Calleigh replied.

"Your phone call helped." Speed admitted.

"You're all my heroes. So thank you."

"You just get back on your feet and back to lab so we don't have to do all the work and we'll take that as enough thanks." Eric said then yawned.

"You boys look like you had a late night."

"Sleeping at the lab is not conducive to a good nights sleep." Eric admitted.

"Why were you sleeping at the lab?" Calleigh asked.

"There is a case we're working on that we want to solve. But you don't need to worry about that." Speed said.

"Tell me." Calleigh said.

"Cal… Just concentrate on getting better, let us solve the case."

"You don't look like you're getting very far." Calleigh pointed. "Talking it out may help."

"We've tried that with H." Eric replied. "We're still no closer to solving it than we were yesterday."

"So tell me, I've been stuck here for the past couple of days, I need the mental stimulation."

Eric and Speed filled her in on the details of the case.

"Did you find any traces of Chloroform in the car?" Calleigh asked.

"Which one?" Speed asked.

"Either, but I'm mainly thinking of the one at the house."

"There were a few trace amounts in the air conditioner." He replied.

"And you said the whole family was dressed in clothes like they were going out?" Calleigh questioned.

"Yes." Speed replied.

"Where are you going with this?"

"Umm… nurse." Calleigh said to the nurse who was check her blood pressure on the monitor.

"Yes Ms Duquesne?"

"Is there an anaesthesiologist around I could talk to?" Calleigh asked.

"If you need more pain relief I can talk to Dr…" The nurse started.

"We all work with the Crime Lab." Calleigh explained. "I just want to ask him a couple of questions; he might have the answers to, to help with a case."

"I'll see if someone is available." The nurse replied.

"Thank you."

"Where are you going with this?" Speed asked.

"I read something in a Forensics journal once but I just need to check something." Calleigh replied.
