Chapter 11 CSI Storm

"Dude this is so embarrassing!" exclaimed Ryan, as he and Walter exited the elevator. "I can't believe we have to share a bathroom with the girls. You know what? I'm just going to go across the street." They arrived in the locker area. Ryan opened his locker and pulled his Beretta out of its special case and put it in its holster.

"I know! It's so stupid. I ate two burritos that doesn't give the janitor any excuse to stop cleaning the men's room and quit," complained Walter, opening up his locker.

"Well, considering the fact you had diarrhea and they had to replace the plumbing system entirely because you overflowed it, then they had to put under your protocol that you are not allowed to eat anything with beans in it on the job anymore, in your contract, I kinda understand," replied Ryan, turning the safety on his gun.

"You were the one who convinced me to buy the burritos from the street vender so don't blame me. You and Jesse have had it in for me ever since I moved up from the Night Shift," Walter told him, grabbing his gun from his locker. Calleigh walked up to them.

"Hey Walter, if you eat another burrito, I'm getting you banished from the bathroom," she said, opening her locker and grabbing her change purse out of it. "By the way, did you hear that Mac Taylor is replacing Rick as Lieutenant until we find a permanent replacement?"

"Yeah. That's awesome," replied Ryan. "By the way, Calleigh are we still on for lunch tomorrow?"

"Yes we are. Is Talia coming?" asked Calleigh.

"Yeah is that ok?" asked Ryan.

"Of course! She's my best friend, I invited Eric anyway."

A girl about Ryan's age came in. She was African American and 5'7". She had short dark hair and was wearing a purple tank top and black skinny jeans with high heeled leather boots. She had on long dangly silver earrings and her make up was perfect. She

"Excuse me, is this the locker area? I'm new and I got a little lost. I'm CSI Cecily Storm. I transferred from the Minnesota Police Department," said Cecily.

"Hi Secilee I'm CSI Calleigh Duquesne, this is CSI: Ryan Wolfe and CSI Walter Simmons. You're in the right place."

"Thank you Miss. Duquense," replied Cecily."Please call me Calleigh," said Calleigh.

"Call me Ryan," said Ryan.

"Call me Walter."

"Ok, then call me Stormy, all my friends call me that," replied Cecily, grinning.

"Hey Stormy, want to join us for lunch tomorrow?" asked Ryan. Cecily nodded eagerly."Yes thank you! I'm new to Miami and it would be nice if someone showed me the hot spots around here."

"I will," said a voice. It was Jesse.

"JESSE!" exclaimed Cecily, running to him and hugging him. "I haven't seen you since my last day at LAPD." Jesse hugged her back.

"Stormy! Oh man, it's been way too long, how's the boyfriend?" asked Jesse.

"We broke up, how's Traci?" asked Cecily.

"She uh… She passed away," said Jesse, sadly.

"Oh Jesse I'm sorry," said Cecily.

"Thanks," said Jesse, hugging her again, "Oh gosh it's so good to see you again!" When they pulled away from their final hug. Jesse showed her around the building. Then they got their guns and went out on the field. After their shift was up, Jesse took her out for dinner.

"Jesse, I really missed you," said Cecily, as they were standing outside her apartment later on.

"I missed you too," said Jesse. They kept eye contact for a few minutes. Jesse leaned in and kissed her. After the kiss. "Oh my gosh I'm sorry, I couldn't resist."

"No, it's okay, it felt right," said Cecily.

"Yeah it did," agreed Jesse.
