A few weeks later

"Momma?" asked James as Calleigh tucked him into the hotel sheets. She hated keeping her son here. But it was the only way to keep him safe. She was constantly surronded by FEDS. And she was already on edge. Within 1 month she had lost her best friend, co worker, suprivisor, and husband. If anything happend to her son Calleigh thought she would lose it.

"Yes baby?"

"When's dadda comin 'ome?"

Calleigh sighed James just turned one yesterday and he already lost his father. What kind of sick world did they live in?

"He's not sweetheart."

"But...I miss 'em."

"I know baby...mommy does to...but don't you think for one second that your daddy didn't love you. Because he did. More then you or me will ever know. Your daddy died...to protect you." James nodded and sat up and kissed his mom on the cheek.

"I love you Momma."

"I love you to baby." Calleigh smiled and laid her son back down next to her. "Now...come on get to bed." James nodded and closed his eyes as Calleigh brushed his hair back.

"Momma?"

"Yeah baby?"

"Can Daddy see us?"

Calleigh closed her eyes. What was she supposed to say to this? "I'd like to think he can angel. I'd like to think he can." James nodded and Calleigh closed her eyes tightly. Hoping that maybe she would open them and it would all just go away.

"Alright so we got nothing...phone calls...but this ass of an a/v tech can never get a location." stated Eric.

"Nobody can compare to string bean." said Calleigh thoughtfully. Eric smiled lightly.

"Hello guys." said Stetler as he walked into the layout room.

Calleigh and Eric looked at eachother and rolled there eyes. After Tim died neither one wanted the possesion. And the department was low on money so they couldn't hire someone new so Stetler took over. Which made Eric and Calleigh not happy campers.

"So what do we got so far?"

Calleigh glared at him. "We got...two officers dead, one DNA anyalist and a A/V lab tech dead. That's what we got Rick."

"Calleigh..."

"No Rick...i'm sick of this...I have a year old son who is constantly surrounded by officers. I don't have a second to myself. I mean do you know what my son asked my last night?"

Rick shook his head. "He asked me when his daddy was gonna come home. I tried to explain to him that his father can't come back. But he's one he doesn't get it. But in a few years he's gonna ask again. And in all honesty i'm not sure if I'm gonna be around to explain it to him."

"Calleigh...I understand...that you all are grieving. But-"

"Grieving doesn't even began to describe how we feel. Atleast not for me it doesn't." Calleigh had enough and walked out of the layout room.

Eric sighed. "You know Rick your a suprivisor now. Your supposed to work with us not piss us off anymore." said Eric and walked off in search for Calleigh.

Calleigh opened up her locker and looked at a picture of her and Tim at their reception. Calleigh fingered his features lightly. "I'm sorry everything got so screwed up." Calleigh sighed and sat down on the bench. Calleigh didn't move when she felt Eric sit down next to her. "You can't make me like him."

Eric laughed lightly. "Trust me...I don't want you to."

"Eric...why did everything have to get so screwed up?"

"I dunno Cal...I wish I knew but...I don't."

Calleigh sighed as her cell phone rang knowing quite well who it was. "Speedle..."

"So Calleigh how are you doing today?"

"What do you want this time Jack?"

"You."

"Well your not gonna have me."

"That's to bad."

"You lied to my husband...and it got him killed. He was only trying to protect his family. Let me ask you something. Was killing 4 people really worth it?"

"Yes..."

"Your sick...Tim was only doing his job why do you have to punish us all for that?" asked Calleigh with a pleading tone in her voice.

"I've noticed you haven't been sleeping Calleigh...you-"

"How do you know I haven't been sleeping?"

"Well the FEDS got that room sealed up pretty tight...but uh...I can hear it in your voice." started Jack.

"Just...leave us alone...please." pleaded Calleigh. "Please..."

"I'm sorry...I can't do that."

"Why?" asked Calleigh fully crying now.

"Because...I told Tim at the trial when he had a family I would hurt him...and like I told you before count down the hours. Ms. Duquesne."

Calleigh sighed and hung up her new cell phone. "Why is this happening to me?"

"It happends to all of us." said a man Calleigh had never seen before.

"Excuse me...who are you?"

"Oh...I'm sorry...I'm Tim Sander...I'm the new Fed assigned to protect you and your son."

Calleigh rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry...Tim...but my patience with the Feds are like this bug right now."

"It's ok. I understand...I lost my wife to a perp in a grocery store a few years ago."

"Oh...i'm so sorry."

"Yeah...well...i've gotten used to the fact."

Calleigh nodded slightly. Her heart went out to this man and she didn't even know him. But there was just something about him that was way to familiar. "LIsten...after my wife first died. I thought the whole world would end. I didn't wanna get out of bed. Couldn't sleep. Snapped at everyone. But what you gotta remember is just because your loved one isn't here right next to you, doesn't mean there not around."

Calleigh noddd. "I'm sorry...have I met you before?"

Tim shook his head. "No...we haven't met." said Tim as he put out his hand. "I'm Tim...Tim Sanders."

"Calleigh Speedle." Calleigh felt a shiver go down her spine. There was only one man who could do that to her. She knew it was crazy but Tim reminded her of Tim. Calleigh took one look in his chocolate brown eyes and knew that everything would be ok. Adeventually.

TBC...Mmmmm...so who is this Tim character anyways? lol.
