1Horatio sat behind his desk; Eric, Calleigh, and Tim sat on the couch that lined the wall and Rick stood in the center of the room, a folder in his hand.

"I don't really see any reason for Duquesne to be here."

"Well I am part of the investigation and Horatio called all of us in here." Calleigh said. Rick gave her a terse smile.

"Delko dusted the gun for fingerprints and Speedle's came up when he ran the prints through the system." he said, turning back to Horatio. "Speedle refused to tell me what was going on so that's why I called you Horatio. Maybe you can talk some sense into him."

Before Horatio could speak, there was a knock on the door and a lab tech poked her head in.

"Calleigh these were done and you said to get them to you ASAP." she said. Calleigh nodded and grabbed the folder from her.

"Thanks Casey." she smiled, closing the door again. Calleigh opened the folder and quickly scanned it.

"Something you'd like to share?" Rick asked. Calleigh gave Tim an apologetic look and looked at Horatio.

"The bullets that Alexx pulled out of the victim matched Tim's."

"This isn't looking so good." Rick smirked.

"I didn't do it!" Tim exclaimed. "Horatio you gotta believe me!"

"I wasn't done." Calleigh said. "The gun's serial... which I ran through IBIS matches a serial to Tim's spare gun."

"I don't even use my spare gun."

"Alright." Horatio started. "Delko, did you find any other prints in the room?"

"No."

"Horatio, I realize you don't like where this is going but your CSI has committed murder. All evidence is pointing at him. His fingerprints, his gun..." Rick started. Tim started to stand up. "But you can't pull him out of this one."

"Speed sit down." Horatio ordered. Tim obeyed and glared at Rick. "Where do you keep your spare gun?"

"In the gun safe, in my garage." he replied.

"Who else has access to it?"

"Calleigh."

Rick smiled.

"From what I've heard Monica Kensington is your ex-fiancee. I've asked around. She and your mother were in town."

Tim looked at Eric, who refused to look at him.

"Everyone saw you and Monica kissing in the lobby." Rick went on. "Calleigh saw it as well. My source also said that the three of you got into a big fight and Calleigh told her to leave. Her flight was delayed and she stayed at The Hilton."

"Well there you go. I had no idea where she was staying." Tim said. Eric finally spoke up.

"Alexx said the time of death was around eleven last night."

"I don't think I should need to ask but where were you last night?" Rick asked.

"You just love this don't you?" Tim snapped.

"Speed, answer the question." Horatio said quietly.

"I was at home."

"Doing what?"

"Watching a movie."

"Can anyone verify that?"

"Yeah. My seven year old daughter and you're not bringing her in for questioning."

"Got something to hide?"

"She's under age. I'm not giving you permission to question her because I'm not letting you rip her to pieces. Besides she asleep half way through it."

"I was there too." Calleigh said. "I wasn't watching the movie, I was upstairs but I did come down and they were both there."

"What time was this?" Rick asked.

"Around 11:30."

"What was he doing for a half hour? He could've gone to the hotel, shot Monica, and then quickly went home."

"Speed is there anyway that someone else can get into the gun safe?" Horatio asked, seeing how tense Calleigh and Tim were getting.

"Only Calleigh and I can get in."

"Did you leave it unlocked?" Rick asked.

"We have two kids. Do you think we leave the gun safe unlocked?" Tim retorted.

"So either it was you, which I'm going on, or Calleigh is framing you."

"And why the hell would I do that?" she asked.

"You saw the two of them together. I've got about six witnesses saying that you went berserk on the two of them. We call that motive."

"That is none of your business."

"Oh but it is." Rick smiled. "Its everyone's business now. Its part of the case."

"It is not!"

"That's what's going into the case file. You two are under suspension."

"Hold on!" Horatio yelled, standing up. "You can't pull Calleigh under suspension."

"Who says?"

"Says the evidence. There is no evidence saying that she was in that hotel room."

"Fine. But Speedle is on suspension." Rick said. "Give me your badge and your gun."

Tim tossed them at him and walked out of the office. Eric quickly followed but Calleigh refused to leave. She wanted to see what Horatio was going to say. He knew she wouldn't leave so he started talking.

"Rick, you and I both know Speed didn't do this."

"Horatio, his fingerprints were on the murder weapon, which is his spare gun, and the bullets from that gun were found in the body. When are you going to let it go?"

"I'm not. I'm going to prove to you that he's innocent."

'Yay H!' Calleigh cheered silently.

"Then good luck trying to find something that says so." Rick said, walking out. Calleigh looked at Horatio.

"Now what?"

"Well, you make sure Tim doesn't do anything stupid. I have to pull you off the case as well."

"Horatio..."

"Calleigh, listen to me. You cannot work the case. The DA won't have it. You're his wife and they'll say you're contaminating evidence."

"They'll say the same about you."

"I know but I don't want you two in anymore trouble than you already are. I'm going to get Delko and go over to your house."

"Just find out who did this Horatio."

"I will."
