Chapter 2

At the lab Eric and Calleigh were in the trace lab processing the evidence.

They were stood close and both leaning over the evidence, their arms brushed and they looked at each other.

Eric caught Calleigh's eyes and held her gaze.

He slowly leaned down to her,

'Delko', came Speed's voice from outside the lab, Eric and Calleigh pulled apart quickly and Calleigh busied herself with the evidence,

Eric looked up as Speed came around the corner,

'yeah Speed?', Eric answered, trying to sound normal, but secretly miffed him and Calleigh had been interrupted a second time.

Eric helped Speed with what he wanted and Speed left. Calleigh then headed down to firearms to process the gun evidence.

After shift Eric caught up with Calleigh as she was leaving, the garage had brought her car and dropped it off for her,

she was just heading to it when Eric called her from behind, she turned around and smiled, he smiled too.

He was about to ask if she wanted to go out somewhere but her phone rang.

She apologised to Eric and answered it.

It was the Whisky Stop asking her to come and collect her father.

She sighed heavily and told the person on the end of the line she would be there soon.

She told Eric she was sorry, she had somewhere to be and she would see him tomorrow.

He nodded reluctant to leave her, but headed to his own vehicle and headed home,

a little upset that for a third time he and Calleigh had been interrupted, and wondered if he was ever meant to be with her,

he thought maybe the interruptions were a sign, then he shook his head, he was being silly.

He then thought maybe they were interrupted because he wasn't doing it properly.

He had to treat Calleigh right. He smiled as a plan formed in his mind.

He would go home, change, get her some flowers and go to her place.

He would tell her to quickly get ready and take her out somewhere.

If she was in that is, he thought.

He nodded to himself, yes she'll be in, it'll be late and Calleigh probably wasn't the type of person that would go out late when she was at work early the next day.

No, Calleigh was sensible, she would be at home.

He smiled to himself and drove home as quickly as he could.

Calleigh pulled up at the whiskey stop. She sighed as she killed the engine.

She waited a moment before getting out to face her drunken father once again after he promised he'd stop drinking and to once again apologise to the bar staff.

She took a deep breath and got out of her car.

She locked it up and headed inside the bar. She saw her father sitting at the bar chatting away to the bar staff, she could tell he was drunk.

She walked over to him and he acknowledged her presence by greeting her happily,

'lamb chop!', he called to her, and spread his arms out to hug her, Calleigh hugged her father back and helped him off his stool,

'hi dad', he greeted him, 'come on lets get you home', she told him, no anger or disappointment in her voice, but she felt it inside.

She turned to the bar staff and thanked them for taking care of him, and apologised for his behaviour.

She took him to her car and drove him to his home.

She made sure he was safe and headed home to relax, it had been quite a day, she thought, her and Eric had been interrupted three times, maybe they were doing something wrong.

She thought about it as she drove home.
