The man starred at the t.v. screen as the morning news came on.
'The miami-dade crime lab is still on the hunt for who the reporter's are now calling the Crazed bombest." said a women news reporter. "This man is isane, he needs to be stopped, he is killing innocent people. Lt. Caine and his team are asking you that if you have any information concerning the bombs to please call the Miami-Dade Crime Lab."
"Now Nancy, its been speculated that Detective Speedle on Lt. Caine's team is said to be the target in this case correct?"
"That's not proven yet, Jason."
The man sat down on his couch and let out a long sigh. "Speedle."
TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH
Tim tossed and turned in his bed, trying to search for the man, the man that had been haunting in his dreams for the past 2 months.
TIM'S DREAM - - - OR IS IT A CASE FROM THE PAST
Tim walked down the hallway, flashlight guiding his way. He looked down and saw blood droplet's, he followed them down the hallway, down the stairs, and outside to a dumpster, were he found a second body lying on the side of it.. But it wasn't the victim it was Calleigh and her body was burned badly. "Calleigh!" Tim rolled her over but Calleigh wouldn't respond. "Calleigh...baby!" Tim could feel himself starting to cry and tried to get Calleigh to grip his hand but it wasn't working. "This is Detective Tim Speedle! I got a female officer down! I repeat a female officer down!" yelled TIm into his phone.
Tim sat up in bed quickly, out of breath and tears streaming down his face. He took a few deep breaths and jumped when he felt a cold hand on his left shoulder. "Baby, you ok?" Tim looked at Calleigh horrified. Hadn't he just seen her dead? He ran his hands through his hair. "Tim?"
Tim snapped out of his daze. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine."
Calleigh reached up and brushed his tears away. "Your crying."
"I'm fine." said Tim coldly.
Calleigh sighed and turned his face towards his. "Maybe you should take yourself off this case, its really starting to get to you."
Tim shook his head. "No, its ok, Cal. Really. I'm fine."
Calleigh nodded and watched as Tim laid back down. She sighed and laid her head onto his chest, resting her left hand there as well. It took Tim a few minutes but he finally wrapped his arms around her and barried his nose into her hair, breathing in her scent, willing himself to believe that she was still there, with him, safe, and alive.
TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH
Tim sighed as he was going over yet another bomb scene. This one made the 5th one in the past 2 months and they were still no where as close to catching or finding out to who he was when they first got the call out. Tim looked up when the door to the layout room opened. "Hey man." said Eric lightly.
Tim nodded. "Hey."
"You get anything new?"
Tim shook his head. "No, this day just keeps getting worse and worse."
Eric gave Tim a sympathetic smile. "I'm afraid I'm going to make it harder on you."
Tim looked at him. "What?"
"I was walking by reception and Paula gave me this to give to you." said Eric quietly as he handed Tim yet another envelope saying only Detective Tim Speedle on the front. Tim sighed and took the envelope. "You want me to stay with you and help you put it together?"
Tim shook his head. "No, I don't want you to have any part of this...just in case."
Eric nodded. "As a friend do you want me to stay?"
"As a friend?" started Tim. "Leave, please." Eric nodded and walked out the door.
TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH
"I'm just scared for him, Horatio." said Calleigh as she sat in a chair in front of Horatio's desk.
Horatio sighed. "Well, Calleigh. We both know that Tim keeps his feelings bottled up."
"I know." started Calleigh. "That's what scares me."
Horatio sighed. "Everything is going to be ok."
"I wish it felt that way."
TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH
Tim rubbed his eyes that were already dropping because he was so tired. He had only been at this for 15 minutes and he was tired. Why was he so tired? Maybe he was slipping? Maybe he was going crazy and he wasn't really tired. Maybe he was just tired of living. Oh...no he knew why he was tired, because he hasn't slept for more then 10 minutes a night.
TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH TALLEIGH
Tim sat at the edge of the bed, starring out the window. Calleigh came out of the bathroom brushing her golden locks, she looked over and saw Tim in another daze. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately. She sat the brush down on the dresser and walked over to him. "Honey."
Tim blinked a few times, but didn't look at her. "Huh?"
"You ok?"
Tim nodded, still not looking at her. "Yeah, i'm fine."
"Tim?"
"I'm fine, Calleigh."
"No, honey your not."
Tim dropped his head and felt his hand starting to shake. "I can't take it anymore. I...everytime it gets quite those letters keep running in and out of my head, I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't eat." Calleigh felt tears come to her as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm just...I'm just so scared." Tim's body begin to shake as he let the tears flow. Calleigh had never seen him cry like this before. She closed her eyes for a second and pulled him to her.
"It's ok baby. I'm right here. It's ok."
And let god help them if it wasn't.
