Authors Note: This is my first CSI Miami fic. I got the idea after the recent ending of the episode, 'Boy meets Girl'.

Leaving Horatio alone in his cell, for the first time since he'd been arrested, a smile came across his face. 'You may think your good Rick...But not good enough. We'll see who gets the last laugh'. Horatio whispered, as he waited for Calleigh to return.

After Calleigh had taken the prints that Stetler left behind on the cell bars, immediately she ran them to Ryan, telling Horatio to hang out. "I don't think im going anywhere", he said with a smile on his face. Turing around to see him smile, Calleigh couldn't help but go back into the cell and pull him into a hug. "I've missed that smile so much", she whispered and before Horatio could reply she had once again left, left him standing in a state of shock and surprise.

"Ryan, have you found a match for that partial yet?", asked Calleigh as she almost crashed into him. "Calleigh, slow down. And no I haven't yet, I've ran them through everything, it's like this person doesn't exist." Handing him another print, Calleigh smiled. "Run them against this print, it's long shot, but we may have something." "Where'd you get this?" Ryan asked as he ran the two prints against one another. "I'll tell you as soon as I know they match.".

"Lt Caine, you're being released.", the guard said as he unlocked the cell door, allowing Horatio to walk out. Turning the corner, Horatio saw Calleigh standing, waiting for him with a smile on her face. "You were right...the prints from Marisol's neck and the bar prints match...Stetler." Without words, Horatio pulled Calleigh into a hug, "Thank you" he whispered. Pulling away the two walked out to the Hummer.

"We need to find Stetler, and go back to Marisol's place, they has to be more evidence that he was there and that he killed her", Horatio said getting into the passenger side. "One more thing Handsome, you've been placed on temporary suspension, you are still a suspect, you can't help with this case. I am to take you home and that's it". "I know that Calleigh, and I know that you are going to follow through on that...But it doesn't mean that I will", Horatio said with a smirk on his face. Knowing exactly what he meant the two headed up to Marisol's place, to look for more evidence that they could use against Stetler.

"Ryan, I just got a heard Horatio is out for now but he's been placed on temporary suspension Calleigh I guess went to pick him up." Frank said walking into the lab. "So he can't help us out with this case...I may have found something here, take a look". Peeking this eyes through the micro-scope, Frank looked up. "And what exactly am I suppose to be looking at?" he asked.

Ryan let out a slight chuckle, "I've been running the fibres that Calleigh found on H's gun. At first they looked like they matched the fibres on his shirt, but when Calleigh brought me Stetler's finger prints, I found a fibre stuck to the print. I ran them together and they matched. Not to mention, that H didn't even have gun res a do on his hands, and from what he told us, he was in his office or with someone."

"So your saying that there's no way that Horatio could have fired that gun?" asked Frank. "Not unless he all of a sudden has a sink in his office to wash his hands. And there was no res a do on his clothing either." "Have you told Calleigh or Horatio about this?", asked Frank pulling out his cell phone. Ryan shook his head, "I tried but neither one are answering their cell phones".

"Horatio, what are we looking for. We've been all over this place twice", Calleigh said as she continued to use her UV light. "But you know what they say Calleigh, third times a charm... and I think I may have found that charm." Horatio said as he lowered himself to the doorway, "What did you find?"

Calleigh asked walking towards him. "It looks like...something off a ring. Pass me the tweezers please." Handing the tweezers to him, H carefully picked up the small object and placed it in the bag that Calleigh had pulled out. "There's blood on it...Doesn't Stetler have a school ring that he always wears?" asked Calleigh. "I do believe that you are right, and if I'm not mistaken, I'm sure that when we find him he'll be missing this part of that school ring".

Horatio said as his eyes were wondering, which caught Calleigh's attention even more. "What's wrong?" she asked. Placing his finger on her lips, he looked around and whispered. "We're not alone in here. Give me your gun Calleigh." Handing her gun to Horatio, she followed his lead as they began to walk out of the bedroom.

"You just don't know when to give up, do you Horatio. Just when I thought that I had gotten rid of you for good, it was going to make ti easier for me to get rid of your team once you were out of the picture", a voice called. Looking around Horatio drew Calleigh closer. "Rick, it's over, we have more than enough evidence to prove that you were trying to set me up to make it look like I killed Marisol, when really it was you". Just than Horatio heard the sound of a gun clicking, not knowing from which direction he yelled at Calleigh, "Calleigh, down"!.

I know a short chapter, but I wanted to leave everyone is suspense. R/R. Chapter 5 will be up soon.
