1"Alright. Where do you want to start?" Eric asked.
"Dust the gun safe for prints. I know that Tim and Calleigh's prints will definitely be on there but I want you to dust it from top to bottom. Tag every print you get. I don't care if it is a partial or a smudge or a full print. Be thorough Delko." Horatio replied. "I'll go through the house."
"Got it." he nodded, heading towards the garage. Horatio stood on the sidewalk for a few minutes then pulled out his cell phone.
"Yeah."
"Hey. How are you doing?"
"Pretty good for someone who's a suspect in a murder investigation."
"We'll get it cleared up."
"You think I'm innocent?"
"Of course I do. Listen, I need to know what you wore last night. I'm at your house right now."
"Jeans and a white t-shirt. If Calleigh didn't pick up around the house they should be on the left side of my bed."
"Alright. Hang in there."
"I will. H?"
"What?"
"Thanks."
"Don't worry about it."

"Okay... so I ran all those prints through AFIS and they all came out Tim Speedle and Calleigh Duquesne." Joseph said, looking back at Horatio. "You still uh..."
"Think he's innocent? Very much so."
Joseph gave him a look.
"Come on Lieutenant."
"Joseph how long have you known Tim?"
"A very long time."
"Do you think he'd kill an innocent woman?"
"No but you never know."
"Don't spread this around." Horatio ordered.
"Right. Hey, I'm always here if you get anymore prints." Joseph said. Horatio smiled slightly and walked out of the fingerprint lab as his cell phone rang.
"Horatio."
"Its Eric. I'm at the hotel room. I went through everything with a fine tooth comb. There is nothing."
"Okay. Do they have a security camera on that floor?"
"Yeah. One is pointing directly at the door of the room."
"Good. Get the tape and the tape from the elevator and meet me in the A/V lab."

"Okay... Alexx said TOD was 11. I want to see everyone from 10:30 to 11:30." Horatio said. Tyler nodded and fast forward the tape. "Okay. Pause it."
"That doesn't help much." Eric said. "He's got a baseball cap on. A Yankee one too. That narrows it down to about everyone that's a Yankees fan, including Speed."
"Tyler do we ever see his face?"
They watched for another fifteen minutes but the killer hid his identity well.
"No one is this good."
"Unless you're a CSI and know how to hide evidence." Tyler commented. Horatio and Eric looked at him and he seemed to shrink between the two of them. "Or he could be a pro."
"A pro... Eric check all of Tim's cases and see who's been paroled recently."
"If you were going to get revenge on Speed wouldn't you go after Calleigh?" he asked.
"He saw Speed with Monica so he may think Monica is his wife." Horatio replied. "Just do it Eric."
"Right... I'll get on it right now." he said quickly, walking out of the room.
"And you..."
Tyler looked up at Horatio.
"Horatio... I uh... didn't mean it like that."
"Watch what you say about this case. The walls have ears."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning IAB is watching every move we make and will use anything we say against us in court. We're trying to prove Speed is innocent, not help make a case against him." Horatio replied. Tyler nodded.
"Sorry."
"Don't do it again." Horatio walked out and went to find Ryan. "Hey."
Ryan Wolfe looked up. He had been working with the team for a few years now after he got sick of patrol. He smiled, seeing his boss and went back to writing something down.
"Hi."
"How's it coming with the clothes?"
"How does it look like its coming?" Ryan asked. Horatio looked.
"No GSR."
"Exactly." Ryan said smugly. Tim had taken him under his wing when he joined CSI and the two had become good friends. He would do everything to prove Rick Stetler wrong. "Well um... unless he lied."
"The clothes were right where he said they'd be. Do me a favor and get Stetler on the phone. Tell him to meet me in my office."
"Okay."
