Calleigh looked up at the clock and realized it was 2:45 and she had to leave to go get Libby. She looked over and realized that Horatio and Tyler had fallen asleep on the coach. Calleigh didn't blame either one of them, since they both work really hard. Calleigh got up from her chair and grabbed her purse and keys and put her hand on the front door.
"Where you think your going?" asked Tyler.
"I have to go pick up Libby from school."
"Well i'm going with you." Tyler said standing up.
"Stringbean you don't have to do that."
"Yes i do. We'll leave Horatio a note so he doesn't worry."

"Mommy!" said Libby as she ran to her mother.
"Hey sweetheart. How was your first day of school."
"Oh it was awesome. I got to fingerpaint and i and i um...i'm the only one in my class who could write there name. The teacher said i was really, really..smart." said Libby as her mom put her in the back seat of the car. Libby looked over in the passenger seat.
"Uncle Tyler!" she screamed.
"Hey Lib. You had fun at school i'm guessing?" Libby nodded her head.
"Mommy why is Uncle Tyler hear. I thought we weren't allowed to see him and everyone else anymore."
"Well honey um...Tyler broke the rules."
Libby pointed her finger at Tyler. "That's a no no your gonna get in trouble." said Libby and Tyler laughed.

It was several hours later and Horatio and Tyler were getting ready to leave since they both had jobs they had to get back to. And they weren't having any luck with the phone. Horatio had said the guy probably knew that there was a tap on the phone.
"Calleigh i think it would be alot easier if we have an unmarked car outside your home." said Horatio.
"Horatio No! I am a strong southern women and i am very capable of protecting myself and my daughter."
"I know that Calleigh. But they could help you if something happend."
"Horatio look i have a 5 year old daughter upstairs in her room. And i am not going to put her threw that if something happens i will protect her myself. I have been doing it just fine with out you for the past 3 years. Alright i'm very capable of doing it now."
"Alright, fine but you call if anything happens." Calleigh nodded.
"Now go before Delko sends a search and rescue you team after you guys."
"Yeah either that or we get a call saying there's a d.b. and its Ryan." said Tyler.
"You know i really wanna meet this Ryan guy. See why Delko doesn't like him."
"Well i could give you a few good reasons." said Tyler.
Horatio gave Tyler a look that shut him up. They all said goodbye and Calleigh shut the door and walked upstairs to her daughters bedroom.
"Hey sweetie."
"Hi mommy."
"I just came to tuck you in."
"Ok." said Libby as she climbed into bed.
Calleigh tucked her nice and tight in bed just like Tim used to.
"Ok goodnight sweetheart i will see you in the morning." said Calleigh as she turned off the light and she started to walk out the door.
"Hey mommy?"
"Yeah?" said Calleigh as she turned around.
"Do you think that daddy is watching us?"
Calleigh sighed at sat down on the edge of daughters bed. "I like to think he's always watching." Calleigh said brushing a hair out of Libby's eyes.
"Did i do something wrong?"
"Now honey why would you think that?"
"I don't know i just thought that maybe i did something wrong to make him leave."
"No honey you didn't do anything wrong. What's with the sudden questions about your daddy?"
Libby shrugged. "I don't know. I don't really remember him and i just wish i could. But i do remember him tucking me in at night."
"Honey i'm sorry you didn't get to know your daddy better. And believe me he would want to be here with you. But a bad man had to take him away from us. And don't you think for one second that he doesnt love you. Because he loved you more than anything. Ok." said Calleigh tears coming to her eyes.
"Ok mommy. Goodnight."
"Goodnight sweetheart." said Calleigh as she leaned downed and kissed her daughter on the forehead.
Calleigh walked into her own room and flipped the light on and quickly changed into one of Tim's work shirts which she had been doing everynight for 3 years and then she quickly climbed into bed.
"Oh Timmy if you only knew how much we miss you." said Calleigh as she looked at there wedding photo on her nightstand. Calleigh didn't know how long she laid there thinking about the good days between her and Tim until the phone rang.
Calleigh picked it up dreadfully thinking it was her scary phone caller. "Hello."
"Calleigh."
"Who is this?"
"Calleigh honey listen to me you need to get yourself and Libby out of the house right now!"
"What why...Tim?"
"Honey listen to me just get out of the house and get yourself back to Miami right now!" said Tim.
"Tim..what...i don't..what's going on."
"Calleigh just listen to me..get a few things and grab Libby AND. GET. OUT. OF. THERE. NOW! Listen i know your confused and i don't have time to explain right now just please get out now!"
"Ok." And then Calleigh heard it a noise that she was all to famliar with. A gun shot.
"Tim! Tim honey are you ok." But there was no answer and the line went dead.
"Oh my god! Calleigh quickly changed into some clothes and woke Libby up.
"Honey you gotta wake up." said Calleigh as she quickly packed a bag for her daughter.
"Why what's going on mommy?"
"Mommy doesnt have time to explain right now ok i just need you to get up and get changed ok."
"Ok." said a sleepy Libby.

Calleigh quickly put Libby and there bags in the car and got in and drove off. Calleigh pulled out her cell phone once she saw Libby asleep in the back seat.
"Caine."
"Alright i need answers and i need them right now!"
"Calleigh? Were are you."
"I'm on my way to Miami right now."
"What why?"
"I just got a call from my husband telling my to get out of my house right now and come there."
"Tim called you?" asked Horatio.
"YES!" said a frantic Calleigh.
"Alright i'll explain everything to you when you get back to Miami alright."
"Alright. But Horatio i think he may be hurt."
"Why?"
"There was a gunshot and then the line went dead."
"Ok look i'll check into it ok. Don't worry everything will be fine. I'll meet you back at the lab ok?"
"Ok." said Calleigh crying slightly.
"Hey listen to me everything is going to be fine i promise." said Horatio and then he hung up the phone.
Calleigh looked in the rearview mirror at her daughter who was sleeping soundly and Calleigh sighed as she slowed down so she wouldn't get a speeding ticket. "Alright Timmy what's going on." said Calleigh to herself as tears came unwantlely down her cheeks.
