"Hey guys." said Calleigh walking into the break room.
"Hey Cal, you seem in a better mood." stated Eric.
"Oh yeah you wanna know why?"
Eric nodded lifting his soda to his lips.
"Its because my husbands not dead."
Eric spit out his soda all over the place. "C-al..." Eric choked out.
"Thanks for telling me you guys." said Calleigh as she walked out of the room and down to ballistics.
Horatio sighed and walked off after Calleigh.

"Listen to me Speedle if you don't actually want to die, then you gotta follow the rules." said Stelter.
"Whatever." Speed mumbled.
"Why do have to be so stubborn?" started Stetler. "Were just trying to keep you safe."
"Well its not like I asked to be stocked." stated Tim angrily.
"I know that...look I know you love Calleigh, and I know you want to be there for her pregnancy but if you want to be there for your child's first day of school, there graduation, we don't know what Melanie's capable of. And i'll i'm saying is to be careful. You saw the way Calleigh cried at your funeral do you really want her to go through that again, but for real this time?"
"No I don't." said Tim processing what Stetler was saying. He didn't know what Horatio had against the guy Tim kinda liked Stetler but Dennis was another story.

"Calleigh..." said Horatio as he entered her lab.
"Go away Horatio."
"Calleigh we need to talk."
"No I don't think we do. You lied to me. If you lied to me about this what else have you lied to me about?"
Horatio sighed. "Calleigh, Tim wanted it this way."
"It doesn't matter if he wanted it this way or not Horatio, he still came back and told me. Unlike you. If Tim never came back and told me would you have?"
"No." Horatio stated.
"Exactly. Now if you'll excuse me I have a case to run for Tripp and then I have a doctor's appointment to go to for my baby. So why don't you just do me a favor and get out of my lab!" Calleigh said angrily (sorry i couldn't just let Tim be the only one who gets mad)
Horatio stumbled back. He never heared Calleigh talk to him like that. He looked in her eyes and saw something he never saw before. Anger. Horatio did as told and left the room. Calleigh sighed and sat down on a stool.

Calleigh came home rather late that night. She was more tired then she could remember being. Calleigh walked inside and set her badge, cell phone and holister on the table by the door. "Damn it Calleigh." she said to herself. "I forgot to get the mail.'' Calleigh came back inside a few minutes later with a few bills and a rather thick envelope. She set the bills aside and opened the unmarked package.
"Oh my god." said Calleigh to herself. " Inside the envelope Calleigh found various pictures of her, Tim, Eric, some of them were at crime scenes. And some pictues she didn't even want to think about how she got them taken. Calleigh quickly grabbed her phone from the table and dialed Stetler's number.
"Stetler?"
"Calleigh what is it?" at hearing his wife's name Tim's head popped over in Stetler's direction.
"I got a package today...I think its from Melanie."
"Say no more, i'll be right there." started Stetler. "I gotta go."
"Is Calleigh alright?"
"Speedle...please just this time... stay here." said Stetler as he walked out of the house.

'Were are they?" asked Stetler as he entered Calleigh and Tim's house.
"There on the kitchen table." said Calleigh handing Rick a pair of laytex gloves.
"Whoa..." Rick muttered seeing a picture of Calleigh and Tim in a rather comprimising position.
Calleigh blushed and took the picture's away from Stelter. "I'll take these back to the lab."
"I'll go with you."

Tim had made sure that Dennis was asleep before he left the house. "Sorry Dennis but I gotta make sure my wife's ok." said Tim as he opened the door.

"I gotta match." said Eric looking up at Calleigh.
"Who is it?" asked Calleigh.
Eric turned the computer screen. "Melanie Hines."
"Son of a bi-" said Calleigh. "So what do we do now?" asked Calleigh. Rick went to go say something but was cut off by Eric.
"I don't get it if Melanie wasn't charged with anything why are her prints in the system?"
"She was the prime suspect. Tim found her fingerprint on a soda can he entered it into the system. You know Tim... if they get away on one thing he wants to make sure he can get them for something else."
Eric nodded slightly.

"Calleigh...?" asked Tim as he entered his house. When Tim didn't here a reply he called out to her again. "Calleigh honey were are you?"
"I'm right here." Only it wasn't Calleigh who replied. It was Melanie Hines who was now pointing a gun at Tim. "Remember Tim... its a hair trigger its... very touchy...I wouldn't want to trip or anything."
TBC...All though I love an angry Tim I love an angry Calleigh to. lol!
