TALLEIGH FOREVER
Calleigh watched Tim carefully as he went on with his work in the trace lab. The Carver case was really getting to him. She understood they all had cases that got to them but this case really seemed to get to him. Calleigh walked up to him quietly and removed his headphones. "Hey."
Tim jumped slightly. "You scared me."
"Sorry."
"It's ok. I uh...haven't gotten anything on that substance yet. Its still running through the spec."
"That's ok take your time."
Calleigh watched as Tim nodded and picked his pen up again. Calleigh reached over and placed her hand over his. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine."
"Tim..."
Tim let out a slow sigh and sat down on one of the stools. "I just...i get a little to close to the kids cases. I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize to me. I understand. Listen you uh...you want to get a bite to eat?"
"I'm not really hungry."
"Well how about a drink then?"
"You very persitent aren't you?"
Calleigh smiled. "I'm just concerened."
TALLEIGH FOREVER
Calleigh smiled as she walked into the break room. "Morning guys...Tim."
"Hey Cal." Calleigh smiled as she went for a cup of coffee.
"You know you shouldn't drink that stuff it'll rot your stomach out."
"I'll take my chances."
Tim shrugged. "Alright...its your funeral."
Eric smiled lightly. "Well...excuse me I uh... have evidence to get back to."
Calleigh watched from the island in the middle of the break room as Tim flipped through his newspaper. "You know you should try taking a picture it'll last longer."
Calleigh snapped out of her daze. "Why do you always have to be so sarcastic?"
"I don't know its in my DNA."
Calleigh shook her head and left the room.
TALLEIGH FOREVER
Calleigh smiled lightly as she came out of the elevator. "John...hey."
"Hey Calleigh...i've been looking for you."
"You have? What's up?"
"I uh..."
"John Hagen..lost for words...I think this is a first."
"Well it only happens when I'm around a beautiful women."
Calleigh smiled and leaned in to kiss John when she opened her eyes and saw Tim standing ackwardly in the corner. "Tim...hey!"
Tim nodded to Hagen. "Patrol found the gun...I thought you might like to have it."
"Yeah...thanks."
Tim looked at Hagen and then left. "He hates me."
"John don't flatter yourself...he hates everybody. I'll call you later."
TALLEIGH FOREVER
"Hey..."
Tim looked up from his microscope. "Hey."
"Listen I have a crazy idea."
Tim sighed and looked up from his microscope. "What's that?"
"Let's have dinner."
"And that's crazy...how?"
"I dunno...let's just drop this case for once and go have dinner."
"Have you been sniffing cocaine again?"
Calleigh eyed him. "That wasn't my fault."
"I know that...I just like to tormuent you with it."
"Thanks."
"No prob...just give me a minute."
"Sure...I'll wait for you outside."

"Cal don't you think you've had to many cosmos tonight?"
"Me...to much..never."
Tim rolled his eyes. "Come on i'm taking you home."
"Tim Speedle you are a party popper you know that?"
"Yeah life's full of let downs...come on." Calleigh went into a fit of giggles as she tripped over her own two feet.
Calleigh could have sworn she heared Tim mutter. "This is going to be a long night."
TALLEIGH FOREVER
Calleigh smiled. "Thanks for uh...bringing me home." said Calleigh as Tim laid her on her bed.
"Not a problem."
Calleigh smiled and grabbed Tim's hand. "Tim..."
"I should go Calleigh."
"Stay with me."
"Cal...that's not a good idea."
"Oh...conflict of interest."
"No...I could careless of conflict of interest...its because your with Hagen and i'm with Pam and not to mention the fact that your drunk."
Calleigh sighed. "Alright fine...but don't let the door hit you on the way out."
