Tim sat in the A/V lab watching and rewatching the tape that Stuart sent. Tyler said he couldn't get anything off of it location wise. But Tim was determined to. Tim sighed and ran a hand through his hair as Calleigh walked in.

"Tim honey...come on let's go home." said Calleigh as she sat down on the desktop.

"No."

"Honey there's nothing there. Let's go home and get some sleep."

"Why didn't I let her stay home."

Calleigh sighed and sat down in Tim lap. Tim tore his eyes away from the screen and looked at Calleigh. What was once the warm chocolate eyes Calleigh fell in love with was now tired, empty, sad eyes. "Tim it wasn't your fault. You didn't know this was going to happen."

Tim sighed and looked away from Calleigh but wrapped his arms around her waist. "I swear when I find him..." was all Tim could say before he realized his cheeks were wet. He looked up at Calleigh to wipe away her tears but they weren't hers, they were his. Tim tried to turn his face so Calleigh wouldn't see but it was to late.

"It's ok to cry." said Calleigh as she cuffed his head in her hands.

"No its not."

"Yes...it is." said Calleigh as she wiped away a few tears but more just kept coming. "Come on let's go home."

"No." said Tim.

Calleigh sighed. "Please...I don't want to be alone."

"I'm staying here.''

"Then I'm staying with you." said Calleigh as she laid her head on Tim's shoulder.

And Tim couldn't protest. Within a matter of minutes Tim and Calleigh were both asleep in a chair. Which they knew they'd pay for in the morning.

Tim woke up a few hours later with Calleigh still fast asleep in his arms. 'Oh god this is uncomfortable.' Tim got up and carried Calleigh to the break room earning a few sympthetic smile's on the way. He laid Calleigh down on the couch and covered her up with a blanket, he watched her stire slightly and then kissed her on the cheek. "I love you." And walked out.

Tim walked back into the A/V lab but this time he wasn't alone. "I figured if your gonna torture yourself why not some company."

"Delko...you don't have to. Go home to Valera."

Eric chuckled slightly. "She actually told me to come here."

Tim nodded and sat down. "Look Eric..."

"No, Calleigh's happy and if being with you makes her happy then that's all that matters. I just want to forget about how long we've been acting stupid...I just wanna be friends again."

Tim nodded. Should he tell him that he's a father? Or would that just make thigns worse right now?

"So there's nothing on the tape?"

Tim sighed. "No. Tyler couldn't even get a shadow like he did for the last case with Emma...something."

"God I remember the first case."

"Yeah Ruthie Criton. I couldn't even bring myself to look at her."

"How long ago was that?"

"Emily was 2. So about 4 years ago."

"Well get her back Speed. Horatio will see to that. This time he'll get the chair."

"Yeah we can only hope. This guy's good Eric I mean the asshole cut apart his own fingers to change his prints. He makes uniforms...he baried kids in his backyard for christ sakes. He's gonna be a hard one to find. I just hope its not to late."

Eric wanted to say something, to comfort him but all he could do was give him a sympthetic smile.

Horatio had to do something. Anything, so why not return to the scene of the crime. Emily's school.

"What do you got Speed?"

"I don't know...i'll take it to trace."

"Ok." Horatio started and then looked at his long time friend. "Speed..."

"I'm ok H."

"You sure about that?"

Tim nodded and left for the hummer. (Ok here Horatio's supposed to give him this look but I can't explain it so ya know the scene were Wally is dead in Wannabe that sad look is the look Horatio gives Speed as he walks away to the hummer. lol.)

"This is tearin him apart." stated Eric as he walked up to Horatio.

"Yeah...and this is only the beginning...did you get anything?"

"Yeah, just some thread. Like usual."

"Alright let's take it back to the lab."

Tim went back to the lab and shut him self off in trace. When the mess spec wouldn't give him an answer to the substance Tim got pissed and through some beakers at the wall. Calleigh came in and told him to take a break. Tim obeyed and went off to the A/V lab finding it empty and put the tape in of Emily. Hoping to find something. A few mintues later Tim's cell phone went off. He wouldn't have heard it not with his CD player on full blast all he could say he was happy he put it on vibrate earlier.

"Speedle."

"Daddy!"

"Emily?"

"Daddy this man is scaring me."

"Has he hurt you?" Tim asked sternly.

Tim didn't hear anything except a quiet sob. Tim sighed and continued. "Honey were are you.?"

"Your not going to find her Speedle."

"Otis what do you want with my daughter?"

"But she's not yours. Is she Speedle? I know all about you and Detective Duquesne Speedle."

"Listen here you sick son of a bitch!" yelled Tim.

"Naughty naughty Speedle...there are children present."

"There's more then one?" asked Tim.

"Wouldn't you like to know." said Stuart and hung up the phone.

"Damn it!" yelled Tim as he through his phone. Calleigh just happend to be walking down the hall when she saw her husband's actions.

"Tim..."

"He has more then one Calleigh."

"Who? Who has more then one? And of what?"

"Otis...he has more then one kid."

TBC...
