Calleigh stared down at the phone not knowing really what to do. But she quickly came back to her senses and dialed a familar number.
"Caine?" In the background you could hear Eric and Ryan fighting.
"Well great Ryan you just screwed up the whole case!" yelled Eric.
"Well i'm sorry Delko i didn't know what i was doing!" defended Ryan.
"Yeah well maybe if you would have took the time to get proper training before you came in here and replaced my best friend. Then maybe you would know what you were doing?"
"Delko. How long am i going to have to live in the great Tim Speedle's shadow?"
"As long as it takes for you to realize THAT YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!" yelled Eric.
"GENTLEMEN! I'm trying to talk on the phone so if you two would like to rip eachother's heads off somewhere else that would be great. I'm sorry who is this?"
"Horatio its me Calleigh."
"You shouldn't be Calleigh me...it's not safe."
"Yeah well i didn't know who else to call."
"Wait a mintue what are you talking about?" asked Horatio.
"I just got a phone call telling me that they know the truth about him and me and i'm guessing him being Tim. H, i have no clue what there talking about. The truth about Tim? Horatio i'm scared for Libby!" said Calleigh hysterically.
"Alright..hold on Cal where is Libby now?"
"She's started school today..she'll be there until 3."
"Ok right now that's probably the best thing for her to stay there. Alright listen to me you hang tight and i am on my way with Tyler alright. Ok don't worry. I'm comin." said Horatio and hung up his phone.

A FEW HOURS LATER
"Oh god Horatio! It's you, you scared me."
"I'm sorry. alright Ty do your stuff."
"Hey Cal, its good to see you again."
"Hey stringbean." said Calleigh tears coming to her eyes.
"Um. Cal why don't you and I go into the kitchen for a minute."

'' So i guess Eric's still taking it heard uh?" asked Calleigh as she and Horatio sat down at the kitchen table.
"You heard huh?"
"I think the whole lab heard Horatio. It wasn't supposed to be like this. We were supposed to grow old together have more children. Be a family."
"Your still a family."
"Being a single parent is not having a family Horatio and you know it. It's just so hard when your trying to let him go and everytime you hear 'Mommy' or see your little girl you just can't. I swear Horatio looking at her is like looking at Tim. The dark curly hair. Chocolate eyes. Everything right down to her personality. I just miss him." Calleigh sighed.
"I know you do Cal, we all do but you can't mope around forever. I mean it's been three years." said Horatio.
"You don't think i know that-" started Calleigh but she was interrupted by Tyler entering the room.
"All i was able to do was record it and compare it to anything else that comes in. I can put a tap on your phone that will trace the caller the next time he calls all you'll have to do is keep him or her on the phone for 40 seconds.'' said Tyler.
"Tyler i know. Just because i haven't been at the lab in the past three years doesnt mean that i have forgotten how technology works." said Calleigh as she stood up and poked Tyler in the chest playfully. Calleigh walked up stairs.
"I'll be right back."

Horatio walked into Calleigh's bedroom and found her sitting on the edge of the bed and he sat down next to her.
"Cal?"
"I'm fine." said Calleigh sobbing. Horatio turned his head to the left and saw a framed picture of Tim and Calleigh on their wedding day and picked it up. He laughed lightly.
"What?" asked Calleigh.
"I was just thinking about that day. How you forgot your vows."
Calleigh laughed. "That was really embarrasing. Hey you'd forget them to if you had somebody you loved in front of you." Calleigh sighed and walked over to the desk that was in her room and opened a drawer with the flag she was given at Tim's funeral.
"You know i remember that day like it was yesterday Horatio i-" Calleigh was cut off by the phone ringing. She looked at Horatio and they both walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where the phone was.
"Hello?"
"I thought i told you to leave. Your obviously not the CSI I thought you were, i'll be coming after you soon."
Tyler mouthed 'Keep him going.'
"Listen what is it you want from me?" asked Calleigh sitting down at the kitchen table.
"I want you to die. That's what i want. And then i'm going to kill your daughter-"
"If you lay one hand on my daughter i swear to god i will rip you to pieces with my bare hands." said Calleigh.
"And your husband i want him dead to."
"Well you see that's were your wrong my husband is already dead!" said Calleigh crying silently.
The man on the phone laughed. "That's what you think!" said the man and then hung up the phone.
TBC...I know i know i'm evil. I'm sorry i can't help it's in my DNA (hehe).
