A/N: I do not own any of them except Tyler, Savannah, and Matthew. Though I wish I did. Sorry for the really short chapters. Been busy with school. I promise I will update soon.
"Savannah, this is Horatio. The friend I told you about." Calleigh said as she shifted so she could use one arm to wrap around Savannah's waist.
"Hi Savannah. How are you doing?" Horatio asked in a sweet voice.
Almost as soon as he said something to her, she moved behind Calleigh's chair. Blocking herself from Horatio's view.
"Honey, you don't have to be afraid of Horatio. He's a police man too." Calleigh said as she tried to face Savannah.
Apparently, Savannah didn't care if he was a cop. She still wouldn't come out from behind Calleigh.
"She's not afraid of him personally. She's afraid of all boy's in general." Tyler said from Calleigh's room.
"Tyler? Why don't you come here and meet my friend?" Calleigh asked.
Now this was getting strange. Why would a girl be afraid of men? Horatio sat quietly, barely hearing Calleigh talk. He was too busy pondering his own thoughts. There was something more too these kids than what they were letting on.
"Hi, I'm Tyler." Tyler said, interrupting Horatio's trail of thoughts.
"Hi Tyler. My name's Horatio."
Calleigh watched the two boys talk and get to know one another. Horatio had always gotten along good with kids. She always thought that he would make a good father one-day. Calleigh was so concentrated on Horatio that she didn't realize that he was talking to her. Or that she was staring at him.
"Calleigh, hello, earth to Calleigh." He said sarcastically.
"What? Oh sorry. Please go on." She said.
"Calleigh, I was waiting for you to join the conversation before Tyler here tells us why Savannah is indeed afraid of men." He said in that cool voice.
He had caught her. Caught her like she had caught him earlier.
"Tyler, why is Savannah afraid of men?" Horatio asked.
He already had a pretty good idea why, but he didn't want to draw conclusions. God he hoped he wasn't right. He hated these types of cases.
"Well, she's afraid of men because…"
