"Just put the evidence on the bench. I'll get to it later."

"Calleigh..."

She turned around and smiled slightly.

"Ryan, welcome back. What's up?"

The younger CSI stared down at his feet for a second then back up at the blonde.

"Um... I uh... I was wondering if you'd want to have um... dinner tonight."

In the doorway of the ballistics lab, Eric stopped and listened.

"I would like that..." Calleigh's voice faded out, like she was embarrassed.

"Okay. I'll see you at seven," Ryan's voice died out as a yelling Stetler and Horatio walked by. Eric walked towards the locker room and a few minutes later Ryan walked in. "Hey Delko."

"You're unbelievable Wolfe." he said bitterly.

"I'm sorry?"

"Calleigh is married and they don't need you getting in between things."

"Last I heard, her husband was dead."

Eric nodded, reminding himself Wolfe had been away for three months, right around the time Tim came back, to help his mother, who was deathly ill. So he would have no idea about Tim's return.

"Yeah, well don't be surprised if you don't have a job in a few weeks."

"Eric, why don't you like me?"

"Because you came in, replaced my best friend like he was never here, and now you're trying to get his wife. You mess things up in our world." he replied.

"You know what Eric, Calleigh is a big girl. I think she can date who she wants."

"That's what you think." he muttered and walked out, heading towards Ballistics again. "Calleigh!"

"Hey Eric." she smiled. "I'm going to go pick up Gabby so can you make it snappy?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Picking her up?"

"No. Going out with Wolfe. Man, how could you do that to Speed?"

"What?"

"I stood right here and heard the whole conversation!"

"Oh!" Calleigh laughed. "That? He asked me to dinner and if you heard the whole conversation you would've heard me say I'd like to but I have other plans tonight."

"He said he'd see you at seven."

"...tomorrow, bright and early. Do you actually think I'd cheat on Tim? And even if I did agree, it's just dinner."

"Not to him. He likes you."

"Eric, I think your hatred for Ryan is getting in the way of things." Calleigh said. "I'm not going out with him, happy?"

"Yeah." he nodded as Calleigh leaned up and kissed his cheek.

"But I think it's sweet that you care about me." she smiled. "I'll see you later."

"Give Gabby a kiss for me."

S/C------

"I thought we were trying to find Roberts." Tim said quietly.

"I did. Jeez Tim, neglecting a free meal." Allison teased. "You need to eat something."

"At a five star restaurant?"

"So it's a bit exquisite."

Tim's phone began to ring.

"Oh can you take that outside?" the waitress asked as she came by. "It's disturbing."

Tim nodded and quickly exited the restaurant.

"Hello?"

"Well hello sexy."

"Oh baby..."

"How's Los Angeles?" Calleigh's humorous voice asked.

"Boring as hell."

"Ooh... must be fun. What are you doing?"

"Eating."

"What?"

"I haven't decided yet. I don't even wanna eat. I don't even wanna be here."

"Well I don't even want you out there."

"You're the one who made me come!" Tim exclaimed.

S/C-----

Across the street in a window on the sixth floor of a building, someone stood, a rifle in his hands. He aimed it perfectly so he could see Speedle through the scope.

S/C----

"No Calleigh, don't do this."

"I'm not mad. I just miss you, a lot."

"Well I miss you a lot too. How's Gabby?"

"Eating my hair."

"At least she's eating something." Tim smirked. "What else is going on?"

"Nothing. The case coming?"

"Not at all. I don't even think he's here."

"Well then you'll be home sooner. I just wanted to check and make sure you weren't dead. I love you so much Tim."

"I love you too Calleigh." he said and started walking. A shot rang out through the air, making Tim fall to the ground.
