"What do you mean he doesn't want to see anybody?" asked Calleigh frantically.
"Mr. Speedle personally requested no visitors." started the nurse. "I'm sorry we have to respect his wishes."
"Fine!" said Calleigh angrily. "But if he changes his mind please call me."
The nurse nodded and Calleigh walked off. Wondering what was going on through that head of his.

Calleigh was walking down the hall when Eric stopped her.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Speedle that's what." said Calleigh as she through down her bag in front of her locker.
"Oh sexual tension."
Calleig shot Eric a stern look. "There is no sexual tension Eric. Were just friends-"
"With benfits."
"No."
"Calleigh come on. Its obvious when you to sleep together. I mean. Speed doesn't normally smile."
Calleigh sighed heavily and sat down on the bench. "I was his parnter. I should have went inside. Did you know that he requested to not have any visitors?"
"Yeah, I know I tried going to see him last night."
"Errrr...why does he have to be so sturrborn."
"Well..."
"Don't answer that...I'll be in ballistics."

Calleigh took Speed's gun and began to examine it. To Calleigh's suprise it was spotless. Calleigh noted that he got one shot off. Calleigh smiled to herself when she test fired and got a shot off successfully.
"You finally listened to me." said Calleigh to herself.

"Calleigh walked into the "crime scene" and stopped at the stairs. Where she saw blood. His blood. She went around it and walked up the stairs. Calleigh spent the next hour and half getting a bullet she thought was from Tim's gun from the wall. And one from their perp that had lodged itself into the baseboard. Calleigh packed up and went to the lab.

"I matched the bullet into the wall to Tim's gun. He fired back. They both missed atleast once. The perp shot back first and got Tim in the chest."
"Alright...so we got an officer down and a fake crime scene." started Horatio.
"So were do we go from here?" asked Eric.
"I have no clue."
Eric and Calleigh looked at him it was not like Horatio to be negative. "Alexx couldn't find out who the guy was. Not even through dental records."
"So we got nothing." said Eric as Calleigh's cell phone rang.
"Duquesne...uh huh...yeah...sure... i'll be right there."
"What's up?"
"That was Tim's doctor. There releasing him. They asked if I'd pick him and take him home."
Horatio nodded. "Go."
Calleigh nodded and walked out.

"Alright Mr. Speedle I am releasing you in the care of Ms. Duquesne. Here are your pain pills. Take them ony when necassary. And if you feel out of the ordinary don't hesistate to come back."
"Alright thanks doc."
"Sure." the doctor nodded, smiled at Calleigh and then left the room.
"So are you ready to go?"
Tim nodded. And Calleigh walked over to Tim and grabbed the handle's of his wheel chair.
"You know this is crazy. I'm very capable of walking."
Calleigh smirked. "Yeah, let's not take any chances ok."

"Easy." said Calleigh as she helped Tim sit down on the couch.
"I'm fine Calleigh."
"Tim you were shot in the chest. Your not fine."
Tim ignored her and laid back on to the couch. Calleigh sat down next to him, and looked at him.
"What?"
"Thank you."
"For what. I didn't do anything."
"You cleaned your gun. And that means more to me then you'll ever know."
What does she mean by that? Tim wondered. "Well you told me enough. So i figured why not."
Calleigh tried to smile but she couldn't, she just looked at him with sad eyes. Tim reached his hand out and stroked her cheek. Calleigh closed her eyes and pulled away. "I have to call Horatio. Excuse me."
Tim nodded. And watched Calleigh walk into another room. A few mintues later she walked back in.
"Does the slave driver want you back?" asked Tim.
"Actually no he's giving me the next couple of days off to take care of you."
TBC...Ohhhh take care of I wonder what that means? lol. Muhahahahaha.
