Confrontation
This Is Our Case!
The tension rose as Speed leaned closer to the nervous face of Sam. She could feel his hot breath on her own mouth, the distance between them seemed to get smaller with each second. His dark chocolate eyes bored into hers as if breaking her down. It felt as if one small movement could set off a chain reaction between the two. Sam gripped the edge of the counter tightly, her knuckles almost turning white. Her heart raced faster as the stand off continued on. Minutes ticked by as they just kept staring into each other's eyes. Neither seemed to back down, though Sam could feel a knot forming in her mid section. She didn't like being this close to another person one bit. But she wasn't about to back down from him. Who knows how he'd tease her if she cowered now. She bit her bottom lip lightly and stuck it up.
All the sudden a 'cough' at the door made them reluctantly look in that direction. Callie stood in the door way with a smug smirk on her delicate lips. "Am I interrupting something?" Oh, you could hear the 'Ooolala' in her voice. Which made Sam want to smack her like she wanted to smack Delko for leaving them in the first place. "Uh, no. Nothing at all. Just getting the results." Speed was already headed out. He didn't look back. "Uh huh." She made her way over to the, still stunned, girl. "I'm sorry I interrupted your… Getting to know each other time." Callie apologized, though the smirk was still there. Sam rolled her eyes, "It wasn't like that. We were just talking." She mumbled as she looked over the file Callie had handed her. "Right. Talking. Yea. Looked a little more then that." She giggled. "Whatever." Sam gritted her teeth.
"Anyway, we've got our second case!" Callie seemed to squeal with excitement. It really seemed like Callie was getting in the whole 'partner' thing. Sam, on the other hand, rather work alone. With a sigh she dared ask, "What's the case?" "Glad you asked!" Callie smiled wide, "We're going to the zoo, Sami!" She grabbed her bag and was out the door. "Wha? Zoo? Hey, wait up, Cal! And don't call me 'Sami'!" She grabbed her things and hollered as she ran off after the blond CSI. Sam had caught up with Callie at the elevator. "Why are we going to the zoo?" She asked as they waited. "Well, one of their zookeepers was eaten by a lion." She answered with a large smile. 'Oh gosh, she's creepy.' Sam thought as she watched the giddy woman. "So what's the scene like? I mean, how'd he die and stuff…" She raised a brow. "Well, they think the gate locked on its own while the keeper was in there." Callie answered. "And I take it, you don't?" She smiled lightly. "Well… It's kind of hard to get locked in… When you have a key to get out." She pointed out rather proudly. "Ah. Well we shall see then." The elevator opened and both woman stepped in.
After a bit afternoon traffic, the two smiling woman made it to the bustling zoo. "They didn't close the zoo?" Callie inquired with a perked brow as she stared at all the crowds of parents and children. "I guess money's more important then a dead guy." Sam shrugged as she helped Callie carry in the forensic cases. "What's Delko and Speedo doing here, Cal?" She asked as she opened one of the kits. "I don't know. They shouldn't be here. It's not their case." Callie waved the two men over. "Hey, guys. What are you doing here?" She asked, her right hand on her hip. "It's our case. Why wouldn't we be here?" Eric said as he put on his latex gloves. "Uh, no. It's not." Callie frowned. "Yes. It is. H said so." Eric shot back. "But we have the file. That H gave us." Callie held up her evidence. "Well, it looks like Caine made a mistake." Sam spoke up, her hands crossed behind her head. "So. Who gets the case?" Speed looked over some finger print powder as he casually asked. "We were here first. It's our case." Delko stepped up to Callie. Callie didn't back down, "We have the file. It's our case." Sam sighed, not liking all this confrontation. Speed ran his hand through his dark hair as the two continued arguing. "While they fight, the evidence is being destroyed." Sam mumbled, not meaning for Speed to hear. "I agree." He tossed her a small jar of print powder, "Lets just partner up, since we're the only ones agreeing." After a quick decision she nodded, "Alright." "You guys, take on that fishing boat accident." Speed said, picking up the forensic cases, "We've got this one. Since we're the ones agreeing." With that, the two left Callie and Delko staring in disbelief.
Short chapter, I know.
I'm running out of ideas.
The next chapter will defiantly be longer and more interesting.
Reviews are loved.
And let me know if I should keep writing.
