Disclamier: Everything is the same as before, nothing has changed. Except I have a bruise on my arm from a friend who I told how this story was going to end.

Tim sighed as the elevator doors opened to reveal the 4th level of the crime lab, him and Calleigh began walking towards the locker room when Paula shouted out to Tim. "Detective Speedle?"
Tim stopped and turned around, "Yeah, Paula?"
"This envelope arrived for you earlier this morning."
Tim took the envelope. "Thanks Paula."
"Your welcome."
Tim sighed and caught up with Calleigh who was waiting for him in the hallway. "What's that all about?" asked Calleigh as she looked down at the object in her husband's hand.
"Some letter."
"Ok, well. I'll be down in ballistics finishing up that case for night shift, page me if you guys get anything on the causeaway bombing."
Tim looked down at the envelope that just said Detective Tim Speedle and muttered. "Yeah, see ya later." but his attention was on the envelope. He shook his head opened his locker, and placed the envelope inside of it. He'd read it later.

Horatio stood in the layout room of the Miami-Dade Crime lab with his hands on his hips looking outside to the hallway as he addressed his team. "So we have." started Horatio in his usual tone. "A disgruntled Miami citizen, blowing up important landmarks in Miami." Speed and Eric nodded from behind the lab table. "So tell me what else we know gentlemen?"
"Well." started Eric gesturing towards the parts of the bomb they had recovered. "We do know that he uses a standard kitchen timer as his detanaitor."
Horatio nodded, his attention on the two men of his team. "What else?"
"That's it." said Speed flatly, causing Horatio to look at him sternly. "This guy...left us nothing. H. Me, Eric, and Calleigh went over that scene for hours, there's nothing. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"I got a letter today, I didn't think anything of it, I threw it back into my locker."
Horatio went to go say something but was cut off by his cell phone. "Caine."
"Horatio, its Frank. We've got another bombing."
"Where." said Horatio quickly causing Speed and Eric to look up at him.
"The Sagamore Hotel."
"Alright, we'll be right there." said Horatio and flipped his phone shut. "Gentlemen...we. have another bombing."
"I'll get my kit." said Speed as him and Eric made there way around the lab table.
"No." said Horatio. "You stay here and process the letter." Horatio said giving Speed a warning look.
Speed sighed and leaned against the lab table. Eric looked at Speed who took of his gloves angrily and threw them onto the table. "Sorry man."
Speed nodded and walked out of the layout room.

Horatio took of his shades as he looked at the lobby of the Sagamore Hotel, or lack there of. "Has everyone been evacuated, Frank?"
"Yeah."
Horatio nodded. "How many casulaties, Alexx?"
Alexx shook her head as she examined a young male. "Four, 3 men, 1 woman. This one's only a kid."
Eric sighed, looked away and muttered. "Summer Job."

Speed sighed as he dumped the content of the letter onto the lab table. Paper shreds, great just what he needed. He looked down at them for a minute and then picked up a pair of gloves and began putting the pieces together.
TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH
Horatio looked down at the ground, and then at the scene before him. "Alright this guy wants something."
"Which is?" asked Frank.
"Our attention. And now we've got it. So let's give him a little something in return."
"Jail time." suggested Eric, Horatio nodded.
(ok that just sounded like part of a preview of a new episode, lol)

Speed looked down at what he had so far.
Speedle,
I've seen you. And you've seen me. But when its all over with will you
Tim was brought out of his work when his cell phone began to ring, he looked down at the caller i.d. Calleigh. He smiled and answered it. "Hey, baby what's up?"
"Hey." said Calleigh in her always cheerful tone. "I was thinking me and you go getting some lunch, what do you think."
"Sounds great but..."
"But what?" Calleigh gasped playfully. "Is there another women?"
Tim smirked and shook his head. "No, uh...you know what I'll meet you down in the parking lot, let me just finish something up."
"Alright, you got it."
Tim nodded and hung up the phone. He picked up his camera took a picture of the work he's done so far on the letter and left the layout room.

Calleigh smiled back at Tim as they entered the lab finding Horatio and Eric. "Hey guys." said Calleigh sweetly.
"hey."
"Is this the stuff from the new bombing case?" Horatio nodded. "We thinking its the same guy?" Eric sighed and held up what was left of the timer. "Yeah, same guy."
"Speed, how are we coming on that letter?"
"That letter you got this morning?"
Speed ignored her. "I uh...got a little distracted, H."
"Speed...that letter could be important to the case."
Calleigh looked at Tim. "The letter you got this morning?" Tim nodded. "Tim...that letter was addressed to you only."
"So. What's your point?"
"It wasn't addressed to the whole team, that means someone might have it out for you."
Tim shrugged. "I didn't think it was important."
Calleigh stood up as straight as she could, but she still didn't even come close to being eye level with him. "Someone sends you a letter, when there's bombs going off across Miami." started Calleigh. "And its not important?" she finished her voice quivering.
Tim sighed and looked down at Calleigh. "I...I don't know what to say."
Calleigh glared at him and walked out of the room. Tim sighed and looked at Horatio who looked at him sternly. "Speed, get back to the letter." Tim nodded and walked out.
TBC...
