Tim looked at a sobbing Calleigh as Eric took her out of the store. He then looked over at Horatio as he stood alone in the room looking down at his lifeless body. Horatio squatted down next to Tim. "I'm so sorry partner."
Alexx took a deep breath as she walked over to Horatio. Alexx gave Tim a sad smile and looked at Horatio. "Give him to me Horatio...he needs to go with me."
Horatio nodded. "I know Alexx...what did I do wrong?"
"Nothing baby...let him go Horatio."
Horatio sighed and closed his eyes. "Ok." muttered Horatio softly. He picked up his gun and Tim's off the floor and stood up.
"I want to be there Alexx for his...autopsy." Alexx nodded and watched Horatio walk out the door. Alexx sighed and turned to Tim.
"Oh baby...what did you do."
Tim took a deep breath and looked at his dad. "What do I have to do?"
"I'll show you things that are going to happen to them before they actually happen. If you don't like them then you can chose to have a second chance. Go back and fix your mistakes. Make things right."
"Did they give you a second chance?"
James looked at Tim and then over to the Tim lying on the floor. James sighed. "Do you want to take the chance or not."
Tim looked at himself lying on the floor. "I'm in."
James nodded. "Now Tim. I can't tell you what your going to see. But you may not like it. You sure you want to do this?" Tim nodded. "Ok...who do you want to see first?"
Tim looked over at Alexx. "The autopsy."
James nodded and blinked.

"Where's Calleigh?" asked Horatio softly.
"Eric took her to the breakroom. Horatio she's devistated. She blames herself."
"Calleigh would though."
Alexx nodded and looked at the figure on the slab covered by a sheet. "Horatio you sure you want to be here for this?"
Horatio put his hands on his hips and turned to the side. He looked over in the direction were Tim and James were standing and then back at Alexx. "I'm sure. He was my partner Alexx. And I let him down. I just wanna say goodbye."
Alexx nodded, took a deep breath and grabbed the sheet from behind Tim's head. She pulled it down to his waist, smiled slightly and picked up a cloth, wet it and began her procedure. Alexx looked over at Horatio every few minutes to make sure he was ok. When Alexx finished stitching him up she called in the haulers to help her move him to a drawer. Alexx closed and locked the drawer with a heavy heart. Horatio then put the name tag in place. 'Tim Speedle Case Number 459-089-76 September 20, 2004'
"Have you seen enough?"
Tim nodded. "Where do you want to go next?"
"I wanna see Calleigh."
James nodded and blinked.

Eric walked over and sat down next to Calleigh on the couch handing her a cup of coffee. "I don't want any." said Calleigh as she sat the cup down on the table.
"Cal..."
"Why Eric?" asked Calleigh tears falling from her face.
"I don't know. I wish I did but I don't."
Calleigh sighed. "He hates me."
"He doesn't hate you."
"I treated him like trash Eric...all because...because he didn't want kids. I would rather not have kids then not have him at all!"
Eric sighed and took his greving friend into his arms. "Shhhh...its ok...its ok."
"I didn't even get to tell him I loved him." sobbed Calleigh.
"He knows Cal."
James looked at the site on the couch and then at his son and blinked.

Tim looked around. "I wanna go back Dad. I want to talk to her."
"You can't Timmy."
"Wait...why are we in Delko's bathroom?"
"Look around."
"Dad...its a bathroom."
"Exactly...now use your CSI skills and tell me what you see."
Tim sighed and looked around. His eyes landed on the trash can. He walked over and picked up a box. "Valera's pregnant."
James shook his head. "Not Valera Timmy."
Tim looked over at his father. "Calleigh's pregnant?" James nodded. "That's why...that's why she asked me if I wanted kids. Because she was pregnant."
James nodded. "Come on next stop."
James blinked and they were gone.

Tim looked at Horatio as he sat behind his desk. Sunglasses on the desk suit jacket hanging on the back of the chair. Horatio looked down at the blood on his shirt. He sighed and picked up the phone.
James blinked and Tim and him were sent to another location.

"Horatio Caine...what can I do for you. How's Miami? What did my Tim do know."
"Mom."
James nodded. "Dad...I don't want to see this."
"You have to."
Tim closed his eyes and looked over at his mother.
"What...no...Lt...I don't understand."
"I'm so sorry Mrs. Speedle...I want you to know that your son didn't suffer...he...he went quickly."
"You were with him...thank you. I'll be down there as soon as possible...thank you...yes...bye." Linda hung up the phone and starred at it for awhile. Tim walked over her and st down next to her. He wanted to reach out to her, touch her, comfort her he looked over at his father who had tears in his eyes.
"Dad...why didn't you take your second chance?"
James cleared his throat. "Come on Tim...next house."
