Pairings: Flashbacks of SPEED AND CALLEIGH
When she cries Chapter 3
He stood there in the door frame to the ballistics lab and watched her shoot of round after round after round. Magizne after magizne. Debating whether or not he wanted to disturb her. He decided that now was as good as time as any.
"Calleigh." said Horatio poking her on her right shoulder.
"Oh, hey Horatio is there something i can help you with." said Calleigh taking off her earmuffs and eye goggles.
"How are you doin?" asked Horatio
"I'm fine just another case."
"Eric told me who it was. Tim's brother. Michael." said Horatio
Calleigh laughed slightly. "I don't think i have ever heard you call him that before."
"Call who what?"
"Call Tim, Tim. It was always Speed this and Speed that. How did he get that nickname anyway?" asked Calleigh with wonderess eyes.
"I don't really know. I think it was like the first day he came to work for me i couldn't remember his last name and i knew it was Speed something sho i just shot out Speed. And it just kinda stuck on after that." said Horatio smiling slightly as he remembered the skinny, unshaven man he had met about 5 years ago.
"So any ways um.. the bullet Alexx pulled out of Michael was a .22 i'm running it threw IBIS now to see if has got any hits recently." said Calleigh turning towards the machine.
"Calleigh, are you sure your ok?" asked Horatio rubbing her shoulder slightly.
"I'm fine." stated Calleigh trying to fight the tears that faught so hard to come to the surface.
"Calleigh its ok to cry." said Horatio.
"I'm afraid if i start i won't be able to stop." said Calleigh finally busting out into tears.
"It's ok i'm here, i'm here, its alright you just let it out." said Horatio threw her sobs.
"Please don't say it." said Calleigh
"Say what?" asked Horatio
"Please don't say You hang in there, because i can't take it if i hear that from one more person i swear to god that i will-."
"Ok Calleigh don't worry i won't say it." just then the computer beeped.
"Oh, i've got a hit. A Richard Duffy, 347689 Biscayne Park Road. He was put in jail for a year for robbing a grocery store." said Calleigh
"Who was the arresting officer?" asked Horatio dumbfounded.
"Tim Speedle." said Calleigh turning around in her chair to face Horatio.
