"Hey Danny come check this out." said Aiden by a computer.

"What's up?"

"I entered the tire treads from outside the Speedle house...they match from a case."

"How long ago?"

"Just two days ago."

"Here in New York."

"No. In Miami. Tim and Calleigh were CSI's for the case. It says handed off to Eric Delko."

Danny nodded. "Alright..."

"Hey you ok?"

"Yeah...its just."

"You know Speedle."

"Me and him went to school together...he saved my life."

"What?"

Danny shook his head. "Nevermind...we should probably tell Mac."

Aiden nodded and walked off with Danny to Mac's office.

"Mr. Caine its nice to see you again."

"Detective Taylor a pleasure as always."

"Listen i'm sorry to hear about your CSI."

"Yeah...but she's going to be fine so."

Mac nodded. "Please have a seat."

"I'd rather stand. Your CSI Burns told me that the shooting of my CSI's is connected to a case they worked."

"Yes. The tire treads found outside the Speedle Manshion match the same tire treads found on the Causeway highway in Miami."

"Well there are lot of tire treads that are the same."

"Yes, but your CSI Speedle said he saw part of the license plate number 198 to be exact. We ran it... same plates as at your crime scene. Your CSI Delko was unable to persue the case correct?"

Horatio narrowed his eyes at Mac. He had a feeling that there would be conflict between these two CSI teams.

"Hey take it easy there." said Tim as Calleigh reached for her water next to her hospital bed. "If you need something ask me and i'll get it for you."

"Well I don't want to be a bother."

"Honey your never a bother." said Tim as he handed Calleigh her water.

"Tim honey what is it?"

"What?"

"I feel like there's something your not telling me."

Tim sighed and grabbed Calleigh's hand. "There is...Calleigh honey um...the doctor said that the bullet damaged your uterus."

"Yeah so."

"You...you can't." started Tim how was he supposed to tell his wife this. "The bullet damaged your uterus...preventing you from having children."

"What?" asked Calleigh breathesly. "No."

"I'm sorry honey."

"I can't have children?"

Tim shook his head. "I'm sorry."

Calleigh let go of Tim's hand. "I think you should go."

"Calleigh..."

"No...i'm tired...I wanna go to bed."

"Calleigh honey please."

"Tim! Go."

Tim nodded. "Fine." Tim stood up and kissed Calleigh on the forehead. Calleigh moved her head. "I love you. I'll come see you in the morning." Tim walked to the door. "If you need anything...just call Wendy and Mark's house."

Calleigh ignored Tim and rolled over.

Tim sighed and opened up the door to his sister's. "Wendy..."

"Hey Timmy how's Calleigh doing?"

Tim shrugged. "Well she was ok...until I told her she couldn't have children."

"She didn't take it well."

"She kicked me out of her room."

Wendy gave her brother a sympathetic smile. "I'm sorry."

"Hey its not your fault." started Tim. "You know Wen you and Mark are takin a big risk keepin me here."

"Well Detective Taylor said it would be best if we were split up so your here and mom and James are with Matt." started Wendy. "Besides your my big borther." said Wendy in a baby voice grabbing Tim's cheeks and pinching them. Horatio smiled at the family exchange. "With the chipmunck cheeks."

"Wen...don't ever. Do that again."

"Alright that's fair...as long as you stop calling me Wen."

"Deal."

Tim turned around and jumped. "Horatio what are you doing here?"

"We need to talk."

TBC...short chapter I know. Sorry.
