Hey, before I tell you how I don't own anything, I just wanted to say...

I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING FOR LIKE EVER!

Okay, now that that's said, I don't own any CSI: Miami stuff except for Season 3 on DVD which I just got for Christmas! Yay! Okay, now that my extreme happiness is over, I am going to tell you my excuse for not updating.

First I got writer's block. I know exactly what's going to happen in this story, but I couldn't think of how to write it down.

Second, I've been EXTREMELY busy over the time in which I should have updated but didn't with stuff that made me busy. I hope you can all forgive me for not updating sooner, and I hope "P.J. Bedingfield" can forgive me for saying "Haha" too many times. Thanks and enjoy!

Chapter 8

"Come on Calleigh, faster!" Calleigh urged herself out loud as she drove to the pier.

"I hope we're not too late…" Calleigh said, referring to herself, Horatio, and Eric driving to the pier.

Her eyes filled up with tears. She couldn't help blaming herself for this happening to Ryan.

"I should have been there for him," she thought to herself silently, "I should have listened to him and helped him when he needed help instead of just brushing him off. I shouldn't have left him back at the crime scene just to call Horatio. If it was Eric or someone else at the 'crime scene' with me instead of Ryan, I would have called Horatio and stayed with them, I wouldn't have left them like I did to Ryan."

"Why did I leave!" Calleigh moaned to herself out loud, new tears finding their way to eyes.

She impatiently brushed away the tears and took a deep breath.

She had to stay in focus.

She may not have been able to help Ryan before, but she was going to do her best to help him now, and crying was not helping anyone.
