Calleigh lay asleep in her bed with her face buried in Eric's pillow, breathing in his scent. Her iphone lay on the night stand beside her bed. The ringing of her phone bought her out if her dream, and into reality. Calleigh groaned, but when she realized the vibrating was her iphone she shot out of bed and flew to the night stand thinking that H had found something but she was prepared for the name that appeared on the screen instead of Horatio, Eric's name flashed on the screen. Calleigh at first was hesitant to answer the call thinking that it might be the Russians. But a feeling inside of her... a strong feeling told her that it was Eric and he needed to talk. Calleigh touched the answer button on the screen and put the phone to her ear

"Duquense" she answered

"Cal..." a raspy voice replied

"ERIC!!! Oh my god Eric are you ok? Where are you? Can you see any distinct markings?...." Calleigh stopped to catch a breath.

"Cal calm down no I'm not fine and I don't know where I am but I need you to listen. The Russians are after me and you to I need you to got to HQ and stay there........" there was a long pause then Eric spoke again "Cal I love you."

At first Calleigh was to shocked to move " did Eric just say he loved me... did he just say the Russians are after me to?" So many questions were running through her mind as she litterly jumped out of bed and ran into her closet and threw a shirt on and some pants. Calleigh ran as fast as she could to the hall, grabbed her gun and badge along with the keys to her Hummer. She ran down the path that led to her drive way, the path was short but felt like a mile till her car. Phone still pressed to her ear she hopped into her Hummer and turned on the lights and put the Hummer in reverse and flew out of the drive way and to MDPD. The drive normally only took about 10 minutes but with lights and sirens Calleigh got there in recored time. It took her 5 minutes to get there but to Calleigh it feel like a life time.

Before Calleigh would let Eric go she said something that her heart led her to say, her head did not bring this on but her hears. Calleigh rarely spoke from her heart but something led her to say this. Calleigh ran into the Tech Lab and connected her iphone with the call trace system as she did this she said into the phone

"I love you to Eric" Calleigh nearly had tears in her eyes from what she had said and the fact that she might not ever see him again.

As Calleigh traced the call she could hear Eric gasping for breath and coughing. Water was heard lapping and Calleigh guessed that he was trying to move to his front. The screen beeped loudly as an indication that a location was found. Eric was found right in the spot could be the worst place for him to be at this point. He was at Echo Cove, Echo Cove was known for having both 'gators and sharks. If Eric was bleeding that would draw sharks from the ocean and 'gators from in the 'glades.

"Eric?" Calleigh said in fear the line had been silent for a few minutes and she was begging to worry that the lapping of water was not Eric rather a shark or a 'gator

When Eric spoke Calleigh released a breath she didn't know that she was holding "Do you really love me?"

Calleigh was taken' back by this she didn't even realize that she had said that. She nodded but realizing that Eric was standing in front of her she found her voice which she momentarily lost.

"Yes Eric with all my heart." She whispered

Calleigh had been she engulfed in what she was saying that she didn't even hear Horatio enter the room. Horatio had seen Calleigh fly by on her way to the Tech lab and her was concerned for her. But when he heard her confession he decided to make him-self present with a cough.

Calleigh flew around and found Horatio looking at her and she turned six shades of red. When she recovered she spoke up.

"H Eric's in Echo Cove we need to get someone out there now to get him." Calleigh said trying to be professional.

Less then five minutes later they had a chopper in the air and a hover craft on the technically speaking on the 'ground'. Calleigh was in the chopper with binoculars looking at the ground and trying to spot Eric from above. If she had known that MDPD even had a hover craft she would have chosen the hover craft. Horatio, Alexx, Natalia, Ryan and three patrol officers were on the hover craft.

Calleigh saw some red and what looked to be a person in the water splashing around. Calleigh poked the pilot and pointed frantically to the water. The pilot radioed in there coordinates to the hover craft and started lowering the chopper to the ground.

Calleigh unclipped her buckle and leaned out the side of the chopper as the wind of the choppers blades whipped her hair around her face and made her shirt fly around her body. Eric say her and he wanted to wave but he didn't have the energy to lift his arm. For the last hour the only thing willing him to servive was knowing that Calleigh loved him. Actually the only thing that kept him going was Calleigh, through his day, night any minute that he was awake Calleigh kept him going.

As the chopper lowered Calleigh could begin to make out the features on Eric's face his nose, that bottom lip that drove her crazy. As her and Eric locked eyes Calleigh couldn't help but smile. His eyes were dark and he looked like he was going to die any minute, but when she looked him in the eyes she could tell that he was safe and was going to make it through this.

At this moment looking at Calleigh from Eric's point of view he had never seen anyone so beautiful, with her hair whipping at her face and her shirt whipping in the wind. Eric wanted to kiss her right then and there... but there was on problem... Calleigh was ten feet above him. But regardless he could make out her stunning green eyes and her pink bee stung lips.

As Calleigh looked down to see the hover craft coming toward Eric she sighed a big sigh of relief and carelessly took her hands off the chopper and being in five inch heels and having wind from a chopper above you ripping at you makes for a hard time to balance. Before Calleigh could stop what she was doing she had taken her hands off the chopper and lost her balance and fell off the chopper's ledge. She say the water getting closer and closer and she was heading for it spread out like a star fish. She heard people screaming and then she saw Eric. He had a look of pure horror on his face as he watch the woman he loved plummet to the ground and hit the water with a major splash.

Calleigh had managed to twist her self so that she didn't hit the water on her belly instead she hit it in her side. The last thing she remembered was hitting the water and hearing people scream. Then every thing went black, as Calleigh's lifeless body sunk to the bottom of the marshy 'glades and hit the bottom stirring up the murky water underneath the water.

Eric watched in horror as he saw Calleigh hit the water and not resurface, not a single bubble reached the surface as Calleigh sunk and divers dove into the water in hope to find the body of the beloved CSI.

Eric was loaded into the hover craft and while they did so he wanted to be the diver looking under there for Calleigh. He silently prayed for Calleigh to be found and to be safe and back in his arms soon.

When two of the divers of the four came up and swam up to them to tell them what they found. The people on the hover craft looked to where Calleigh had fell in and a large pool of red appeared behind the divers. Natalia gasped and grabbed onto Horatio and pointed to the pool of red where Calleigh fell from above.
