Anni: Yes, H man was all up in Sackheim's grill. lol. You won't believe how hard I laughed when I read that in your review. And don't worry Johnny will 'get his'. lol. Its all up in my noggin. lol.

Deb: Glad, you finally got all caught up. And don't worry about reading the chapter backwards Anni does it all the time. lol. And yeah I can imagine how Calleigh would have reacted if Tim walked up on her in the grocery store. I mean I could imagine how I would have reacted if...well...let's just say for me it would be like crazy fan girl and Rory would have to you know call security but...anyways I'm rambling and off to the update. lol.

(Just a recap)

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone excpet for Johnny Duncan, his sister Gloria who've I've finally decided WILL make another apperance in this fic, Oliva and Sandra Speedle, and um...Valera and Eric's daughter.

Pairings: (mainly) Speed and Calleigh (but Eric/Valera might make another apperance)

After The Dust Settles 8

Within a half hour the Speedle residence was sworming with FBI agents, IAB, and the CSI day shift. Including one very pissed off Horatio Caine. Tim looked over from the window seat and saw that Horatio and Dennis were in another heated argument. He couldn't hear all of it but he could here parts of the conversation.

"I bet you wish you had listened to me now, huh Caine."

"Dennis. If you know what's good for you you'll shut up right now."

Tim smirked and looked down at his hand. He felt his heart rate quicken when he felt Calleigh sit down next to him. "Give me your hand." she whispered softly.

Tim let her pick up his hand and he looked over at her slowly, "I'm sorry."

Calleigh ignored him and opened the first aid kit. "It doesn't look to deep. So you won't need stitches."

Tim looked at her sadly, "Cal, look at me."

Calleigh kept her eyes down and wiped Tim's wound with alcohol. He flinched slightly, "Sorry."

Tim shrugged, "Its ok."

Calleigh sighed and placed a band aid over his cut from hitting the siding. "There. All better."

"Thanks." he muttered weakly. "Now will you look at me?

Calleigh took a deep breath and looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "What?" she asked with a quievering voice.

"Come here."

Calleigh shook her head and pushed Tim's hand away from her, "No, Tim. I don't want to come here. I want my little girl back."

Tim sighed and pulled her into a hug, "I know. Me to." Calleigh cried quietly on his shoulder and he rubbed her back effectionatley. "Where's Olivia?"

"She's upstairs, taking a nap."

"By herself?"

Calleigh shook her head and sniffed, "No. Jessop's outside her door. If anything happens he'll protect her."

Tim nodded, "Jessop's a good man."

Calleigh nodded, "Yeah he is."

Tim kissed the top of Calleigh's head and nodded over in Horatio and Dennis' direction. "You think we should break them to up?"

Calleigh laughed slightly, "Nah, if Sackheim pisses Horatio off enough he'll just shoot him. And I'm pretty sure all of us in this house will say it was self defense."

Tim laughed and jumped slightly when the home phone rang. A FBI agen came to the door and gestured to Tim and Calleigh. Tim stood up and gribbed Calleigh's hand tightly as they both walked to the kitchen table.

"Ok, now remember you have to keep him on the phone for atleast 1 minute."

Calleigh and Tim both nodded and Calleigh picked up the phone, "Hel-hello."

Johnny smiled slightly, "You've been crying Calleigh. I thought with Tim back in your arms you wouldn't be doing much of that anymore."

"Yeah, well." started Calleigh. "You kidnap my little girl in my own backyard and of course i'll be crying."

"Aww. Well your a very good mother."

"If you weren't a murderer and a kidnapper I'd take that as a compliment."

Johnny laughed lightly, "Let me talk to, Tim."

Calleigh looked up at Tim and handed him the phone. Calleigh closed her eyes and looked away. "What do you want, Johnny?"

"Do you know, Tim." Johnny started. "That most kidnappers don't keep there victims alive after the first 3 hours."

Tim closed his eyes, "Yes, I'm aware of that."

Johnny nodded, "So I bet you would like your daughter back right?"

"You know I do Johnny."

An FBI agent looked over at Tim and mouthed, "45 more seconds." Tim nodded.

"Well, I mean you did miss out on almost five years of her life. What's the rest of her life going to hurt?"

Tim gripped the chair tightly, "Listen to me. Whatever it is you want...we'll work it out ok. Just don't hurt her."

Johnny laughed, "I want you, Tim."

"Then come get me, JOhnny!" Tim said angrily.

"If it was only that easy, Speedle. First you'd have to tell all those officers that were in your house to leave. And then maybe we'll talk."

"Let me talk to, Sandra."

"Ok." said Johnny. He waited a second and then hung up the phone.

"Johnny? Johnny?" Tim looked down at the phone and then threw it against the wall, causing Eric to duck so he wouldn't get hit in the head. "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!"

Calleigh put her hand on his arm, "Honey."

Tim shrugged it away, "Don't touch me." he said as he walked upstairs.

TBC...And yes, I like to believe that Jessop didn't die in the finale. Seriously if Donahue keeps killing off police officers there won't be any of them left. I mean seriously 12 in the season 4 preimere, 2 swat officers in dispo day, plus officer Hollis, Insko in Cop Killer, Jessop in the finale, and don't even get me started on Speed...
