"So Yelina what are you doing here?" Horatio asked.
"I was talking to Calleigh, before you can in and she left."
"I thought we decided that you weren't going to talk to her unless it was about a case."
"I needed to discuss something with her." Yelina stated.
"Concerning what?"
"Nothing that concerns you."
"If you have a problem with one of my CSIs I'd appreciate it if you talked to me first, but as Calleigh has been out for a few weeks and hasn't been involved in any cases with you for over a month it can't be that."
"Why do you instantly presume it was my fault?" Yelina asked.
"Calleigh's restricted to the lab and has been here all morning clearing some of the backlog so I have to surmise that you came to her."
"Let me guess she sent that weird guy with a note asking you to come and 'rescue' her." Yelina said snidely. "And you all jumped right to it."
"His name is Harry Donaldson and he's assisting Calleigh for a few weeks. He brought a file to trace. I was already on my way here, I was just checking in with a few people on the way." Horatio wasn't lying exactly he was on his way to check on Calleigh, but had been distracted talking over a case with Eric and Speed. "And I don't like you're implication."
"Horatio…"
"Yelina, you're family and you always will be for Ray Jr's sake. But that doesn't mean you can make the lives of my friends and co-workers more difficult just because you happen to dislike our relationships. Perhaps you should leave."
"Horatio, you're throwing me out?"
"I'm asking you to leave." Horatio corrected. "Excuse me I have work to do."
"Detective Duquesne, Speedle, Delko." The judge said. "Please come in and take a seat."
Calleigh took a seat, but Eric and Speed choose to remain standing.
"I heard about your accident." The judge commented. "I'm glad to see that you're alright."
"Thank you Your Honour." Calleigh said.
"So what can I do for you all?" He inquired.
"I need a restraining order." Calleigh replied.
"I see, against whom?"
"Detective Salas." Calleigh replied.
"For what reason." Calleigh played him the tape.
"It's not the first time she's done this." Eric said.
"It's been going on for months; it's just got worse the last month or so."
"Detective Salas mentioned your relationship with Lieutenant Caine, what exactly is the nature of your relationship if you don't mind my asking?"
"We were trying to work out the details before I was injured, we still working on it." Calleigh replied.
"I see." He leant back in his chair. "I can understand why you want the restraining order but I'm just trying to work out how it's going to work given both your jobs. It's a little difficult to have a TRO from a CSI to a police detective when your workloads over lap."
"I asked her to keep away from me unless it was about a case before but it obviously didn't work."
"How about she has to stay away from you unless it's about a case and then she can only talk to you if someone else is present, preferably another CSI." Speed proposed.
"That would work, Detective Duquesne?" The judge asked.
"That's fine by me." Calleigh replied.
"I'll have it drawn up and her served with it in a few hours. I presume she'll be at the police station."
"Probably." Calleigh replied.
"Dispatch." Speed pulled out the radio he had brought with him in case they were needed. "This is Speedle."
"Go ahead."
"I need a location of Detective Yelina Salas."
"Be advised that her last known location was at the Crime Lab over." Dispatch informed him.
"Thank you." Speed replied. "I doubt she'll be there for much longer, she's not working any case as far as I know that involve our department."
"Thank you. I'll have that taken care of right away."
