Chapter Eleven: Say Goodbye

Miami Crime Lab, Florida

Horatio put his cell phone down on the lab table. He was faced with a questioning stare from Calleigh. "Montana?" she asked. "Do you have a girlfriend down in Chicago that I don't know about?"

"No," replied Horatio. "What I do have is words, proof that Montana is a safe place to evacuate to."

"I'm a sun and beach type of woman," said Calleigh. "There isn't a single beach in Montana. Plus, the weather can be cold there."

"In time of emergency," said Horatio, as he typed into the computer, "a place with cold weather and no beaches will have to do. Lindsay, who spoke to me, said that of all the states in the US, Montana has been least affected by this storm."

"This storm?" questioned Calleigh. "Horatio, hurricanes can't reach Montana."

"We're not the only state facing dreadful weather," said Horatio. He turned the computer monitor to Calleigh, so she could see what he was talking about. "Now, I would get everything you need and throw it into a suitcase tonight, so you're ready to leave right away in the morning. The hurricanes hitting Florida are expected to make landfall in forty eight hours." He took his cell phone from the lab table, turned away from Calleigh, and walked out of the lab, leaving her alone to read about the article Horatio had left for her on the computer.

"Oh my god," Calleigh suddenly said aloud when she had finished reading the article. Horatio had been right; Florida wasn't the only state facing dreadful weather. Everywhere around the world was facing mixtures of hurricanes, tornadoes, and snows, in places where the weather didn't normally act like that. She turned to look at the clock, which said it was twelve thirty. She would have normally gone home earlier than twelve, but she had been discussing with the other CSI investigators on where to go and had been busy getting ready to evacuate.

She got up from her seat, shut down the computer, and walked over to the door. She turned to take one last look of the lab, where she had worked for so many years of her life. She sighed, wishing everything was normal, and she was going home after solving a murder case instead of leaving the lab forever to evacuate somewhere safe. She turned off the lights, and walked out the door, saying goodbye to the place she loved.
