Thanks for the replies!

"Yeah I saw her. 'Bout 2am this morning when I got home she was on her way out." The man told Eric leaning lazily on the doorframe wearing only his boxers.

"How did she seem?" Eric asked, glad to have found someone who was at home.

"In a hurry but she still said hi to me." He told Eric "She always does."

"Ok," Eric said finishing his notes. "Thanks for your time."

"No problem mate." The man said shutting the door.

"Horatio" Eric called over to his boss who was leaving Calleigh's apartment. "Neighbour says he saw Calleigh around 2am this morning leaving in a rush."

"She took her gun will her." Horatio told him in his usual calm manner.

"Do you think she was in some kind of trouble?"

"I don't know…" Horatio told him pulling out his cell.

"Ok, I'll get straight onto it Horatio." Ryan told his boss before putting down the phone.

"Is there any news?" Alexx asked him. They had been working in the lab in silence, each one of them thinking about the pictures of Calleigh. They hadn't managed to get any fingerprints from the toilets or the pictures.

"Calleigh left her apartment at around 2am. She took her gun with her. Horatio wants me to start going through her recent case files and search her locker and desk for anything out of the ordinary." Ryan told her.

"Why search her locker?" Alexx asked him.

"He must think that there is something else going on that we weren't aware of." Ryan told her shrugging.

"Why? Because she went for a walk? Maybe she just needed to clear her head after what happened last night." Alexx said, not willing to believe Calleigh wouldn't confide in her about any problems she was having.

"Because of me?" Ryan asked her angrily.

"No, sugar, I didn't mean it like that, it's just that…"

"No, your right Alexx." Ryan said leaving the room.

Flashback

"Hey, happy birthday!" Calleigh said hugging her fellow CSI James Higgins.

At the other side of the room Ryan watched them. It was obvious to him that James had a thing for Calleigh but Calleigh was his. Well not yet but soon they would be together. He had it all planned out but James was getting in the way he thought to himself as he ordered another drink to drown his sorrows in.

"Hey Ryan you wanna join me and Dan in a little drinking contest?" Eric asked him. " The person who can drink the most shots in 2 minutes wins."

"Yeah ok Delko, you're on!" Ryan said following Eric over to Dan who was sat at the other end of the bar with shot glasses in front of him.

Two minutes, 23 shots later Ryan was victorious and very drunk.

"Maybe you should go home, mate." Eric said catching Eric as he stumbled.

Ryan wasn't listening; he needed to talk to Calleigh.
