Horatio opened his office door slowly. He stepped in and removed in sunglasses, surveying the familiar space with a small smile on his face.

He had had a wonderful time with Calliegh on their honeymoon, but he had to admit it was good to be back at the familiar lab, working again. Relaxation was nice, but too much time without work put Horatio Caine on edge.

He crossed the room and sat down in his comfortable leather desk chair. He took a small key out of his pocket and opened the bottom drawer of his desk. He reverently put on his gun and clipped his badge onto his belt. He was feeling more and more like himself every minute.

He looked over the familiar desk noting the picture of the team that had been given to him by Eric and Ryan on his wedding day. He also had a new piece of artwork on the office wall. It was an almost perfectly done painting of him and Calliegh at their wedding. Emily's signature was at the bottom.

His eyes traveled back to the desk. There were three items on the desk that had not been there previously. He picked up a hilarious caricature drawing of Rick Stetler. He laughed at the words in the thought bubble. Also there was a picture of Emily and Eric, both covered in what looked like paint, shaving cream, and feathers. He put the picture aside with a smile. Sometimes he didn't even want to know.

He found a few folders of paperwork from the week before he had left. He sighed picking up a very innocent looking black pen.

Turned out the pen wasn't as innocent as it looked.
