Chapter 2

Miami-Dade Crime Lab

Horatio walked in to the break room to see that his team was sitting and waiting for him.

"Good morning, every one."

"Hey H, what do you have for us today." Eric asked him.

"Well I do not have anything for you guys. We are all going to New York for a conference and both the Las Vegas team and New York team will be there as well. We are leaving in a few hours so I want every one to go home and pack, but pack for two months. After the conference we are going to stay in New York and have a break from all the crime. You guys deserve a break.

"That sounds really fun Horatio. That would be great." Calliegh said.

"What are you guys waiting around for go be back at the lab in three hours so we can head to the airport."

Every one got up and headed out to their restive cars and drove to their houses to start packing.

Calliegh arrived at her house that she shared with her boyfriend. She got out of the car and head toward the door. She walked in and went straight for her bedroom. When she entered it she saw her boyfriend standing at the closet door.

"Hey there handsome what are you looking for?"

Eric turned around.

"Hey there beautiful, I was just seeing what do bring, remember it is cold in New York, it is winter there."

Calliegh walked over to him and placed a kiss on his lips.

"I know that, we will be in New York for Christmas. We will have a white Christmas for once."

"I think having a white Christmas is great."

"Me too."

"Well we really need to pack stuff so we will not be late."

Eric and Calliegh finished packing their bags and Eric took their bags to the car and went back inside to look everything up. He looked at Calliegh took her hand and together they left their house for their trip to New York.

Caine Residence

Horatio walked in to his house that he shared with his wife Marisol.

" Marisol." Horatio called out as he walked in to his house.

"Horatio, what are you doing home so early? Are you ok? Did something happen to Eric?..."

"Marisol, nothing happened to Eric and I am just fine. I am home early because we are taking a trip to New York. We have a conference but I extended our stay to have some vacation time."

"That sounds wonderful Horatio, but what about the baby?"

"Marisol nothing is going to go wrong with the baby. You are only four months pregnant and they do have doctors in New York."

"Well since you put it that way…."

"No go and pack your bags, we will be gone for two months and it is winter there, so pack warm." Horatio followed his wife into their bedroom and packed his bags as well.

After they had their bags packed Horatio took them out to the car and went back to look up the house. He guided Marisol out of the house with his hand at the small of her back.

The Crime Lab

Everyone was sitting in the break room waiting for Horatio to come so they can head to the airport. Ryan was holding Natalia in his arms and he was playing with her hair. Eric was whispering something in Calliegh's ear when Horatio entered the room followed by Marisol.

"Is every on ready to go?"

Everyone looked up at the sudden noise. Eric saw his sister standing in the room and he got up to give her a hug.

"Hey Marie, How are you feeling?"

"Hey Eric and I am doing really good."

"I hope that my niece or nephew is not giving you too much trouble."

Marisol laughed.

"No not yet Eric."

"That's good."

"So are we all ready to go?"

"Yes H so lets hit the road." Eric said.

Airport

The team were all sitting in their seats waiting for the plain to take off. Calligh, Eric, Marisol, and Horatio were sitting in the first row and Ryan and Natalia were sitting across from them. The plain started moving and they were on their way to New York.
