"Oh, Emily your here." said Mrs. Low. "Emily why don't you go put your backpack in a cubby and I'll be over there in a minute."

"Ok."

"So you must be Mr. Speedle Emily's father?" asked Mrs. Low as she stuck out her hand.

TIm accepted her hand and shook it. "Yeah that's me."

"I don't want you to worry about anything. Emily's gonna be fine. I promise."

"Oh, I know that. It's just you wanna keep them to yourselves as long as you possibly can right?"

The teacher nodded. "I know your type?"

"My type?" asked a dumbfounded Tim.

"Your a nervous parent Mr. Speedle. Its very understandable at the age of five like Emily."

"Yeah, well what are you gonna do?" started Tim. "Well my boss keeps me on a tight leash so I have to get going. Bye Em."

"Bye daddy...daddy wait." said Emily as Tim went for the door.

Tim bent down to her level. "What's a matter?"

Emily wrapped her arms around Tim's kneck. "I love you daddy."

"I love you to pumpkin." Tim started feeling tears coming on. "Listen I'll be here to come pick you up at 3:30 ok."

"And mommy?"

"And mommy."

"Timothy James Speedle?" came Calleigh's voice.

"Uh-Oh your in trouble." said Alexx as Tim took a sip of his coffee.

"What do we got Alexx? asked Calleigh as her and Tim got out of the hummer.

"Oh I smell decomp." said Tim wrinkling his nose.

"ALexx do we have a bloater?" Calleigh asked a little to excited.

"Yep." said Alexx regreatfully.

"Calleigh please...tell me your not happy about this."

"What I haven't had a bloater since like my first year as a CSI. Its change. And I like change. Besides it gets me away from bullets."

"Hey your not the one who has to cut him open." said Alexx.

"Yeah, sorry about that Alexx."

"Well don't think your getting away from bullets that easily Calleigh. Here ya go."

"Oh darn." said Calleigh. Tim looked at Calleigh shocked. "What"

"You...you've changed are you feeling ok?"

"Yeah I feel fine why?"

"Your turning down bullets Cal. You never do that."

"Well i'm getting tired of bullets. I want a different case for once. "

"Ok. The world has changed as we know it." said Tim.

"Well you guys should just go back to the lab there's not much I can tell you right now." said Alexx.

"Alright we'll meet you in autopsy." said Tim.

Tim and Calleigh started walking to the hummer. But before they got in they heard Alexx yell at one of the haulers. "Be careful would ya. If he bursts your cleaning up his insides out of the truck."

TBC...what has gotten into Calleigh huh? lol. I dont know I thought it would be fun to make Calleigh not want to see a bullet for awhile.
