A/N: Thanks for the great reviews, really appreciate it. Here's the next chapter.


Calleigh walked down the hall pleased with herself.

I think I handled that pretty well, considering I wanna blast a machine gun at Krystal's head.

"Hey Valera," Calleigh greeted as she entered the room, "You heading out?"

"Yep, as soon as I finish cleaning up I am outta here," Valera answered, "Have you sorted things out with Eric yet?

No, that bitch is still breathing isn't she?

"Sure did," Calleigh said putting on a smile, "We're going out on a double date tomorrow night."

"That's good," Valera replied, happy that they finally sorted things out, "Who are you bringing?"

Calleigh frowned.

Dammit, forgot about the part.

"Uh," Calleigh thought for a minute, "I don't know."

Valera smiled as Ryan walked in.

"How about Ryan?"

"How about Ryan what?" he asked nervously, eyeing the two women.

Calleigh was about to explain when Valera jumped in.

"Calleigh needs a date for tomorrow."

No, I don't want to go with Ryan!

"Actually I-"

"This wouldn't have anything to do with Delko would it?" Ryan asked, knowing all to well that it did.

Calleigh moaned.

"I'll figure it out tomorrow," Calleigh said with a sigh.

"You ready?" Ryan asked Valera.

Calleigh smiled. "Ready for what?"

"We're just going out for drinks," Valera answered, "I'll be ready in just a sec."

"Oh, drinks," Calleigh mocked cheekily.

"Yes, drinks," Valera replied with a glare.

"Ok, I guess I'll leave yall to it," Calleigh said winking at Valera before walking out the door.

Next morning

"Ok, things could be a lot worse," Eric told himself as he paced in the break room.

How?

"Uh, Cal could still be mad."

You're screwed.

"Shut up brain," Eric mumbled.

"Excuse me?" Calleigh asked as she walked to the fridge.

"Uh Calleigh, didn't see you there. I said…shoulda…rained," Eric replied nervously.

"Shoulda rained?" Calleigh asked in confusion as she opened a can of Fanta.

"Yeah, it should've rained last weekend, because…I started growing…tomatoes. I made a miniature garden at the back of my apartment complex and it should have rained so they can grow."

Yeah ok, she'll buy that. She's only TRAINED to detect lies.

"Really," Calleigh asked, suddenly interested, "What kind are you growing?"

T-there's more than one?

"Um-"

Quick change the subject!

"Ryan's got a crush on Valera," Eric blurted out.

Yeah that's it, move the attention on to him.

Calleigh giggled. "Well I could have told you that. Are you okay? You're acting kinda weird."

"I'm fine," he replied.

"Ok. Oh listen, about the dinner thing, I don't think I can-"

Crap, no

"Cal, no, you can't bail out. You have to come, please," Eric pleaded with puppy dog eyes.

Please please please please please

"Fine," Calleigh said with a sigh and walked towards the door.

Wow that was easy. Quick, say something before she leaves.

"Uh Calleigh?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks?"

Thanks? What the hell?

"No worries," Calleigh said, disappearing behind the corner.

Great, now all I have to do is find myself a new Krystal.

Friday Night

Calleigh walked into the restaurant and looked around. She was wearing a low cut black dress that stopped just above her knees. She wore a gold necklace that her father gave her and she wore her straight hair down.

Hmm, Eric's not here yet. Well what do you expect when you walk in half an hour early.

She decided to wait at the bar across the road.

Calleigh sat down on the stool with a sigh.

This is so stupid. I shouldn't have come, and what's Eric gonna say when he sees I don't have a date. Why did I have to suggest this double date thing in the first place? God I'm so stupid.

"Did you dump him?" asked the man sitting next to her.

"Sorry?" Calleigh asked surprised.

"Well by the look of your clothes you've just been out to dinner and by the look on your face you've had a crap time."

Calleigh smirked.

Hmm, ok, I'll play along.

"Think you know all about me?" Calleigh flirted.

The man smiled, showing a set of sparkling white teeth.

"I know that some guy just ruined a beautiful woman's night," He replied, taking a drink from his beer.

"Really? Well you look like you've had quite a night out yourself. Nice clean suit, freshly shaved, are you trying to impress anyone?" Calleigh asked cheekily.

"I am now, tell me when it starts working," he said with a smile.

Oooo good looking and witty.

"I'm Calleigh," Calleigh greeted, holding out her hand.

"Greg," he replied shaking Calleigh's hand.

"So… are you free tonight?"

"For you I am."

Great. I just found myself a date.

"Good," Calleigh replied pleased, "Cos I need a favour."
