Eric headed back to the lab, Wolfe and Jesse are out, so he set out to the trace lab. Tim turned his head with the increasing sounds of footsteps, he was sorting out the scattered lab supplies from recent cases. Eric leaned on the island table with both hands, Tim waiting for him to open his mouth, whilst opening and closing drawers.

"I'm heading to the university arena to question the suspect's closest peers" he started, observing Tim, one hand on a handle, and another on a ruler. "H wanted you come with me" he lied, trying to get his fullest attention.

Speed opened another drawer and placed in it the ruler that he was holding, and then simultaneously closed both open drawers with both hands. "It's your lucky day" he finally spoke and faced Eric. "Come on, what are you waiting for, didn't you see me just finish?" he chuckled, Eric chuckling back. They both walked out of the room.

"Oh, and uh, we're gonna pick something up at ballistics if you don't mind."

"Ooooh" Speed said sarcastically. "Don't you mean someone?" he smirked.

"Yeah. Right."

Speed's POV

So we made our way to ballistics for this is something or someone. We passed by the lab, apparently what he was look for wasn't there, so he continued to walk, and I followed. As the both of us travelled through the hallway leading to the range, Eric began to walk a faster pace, leaving me a good four feet behind him once he pushed open the glass door. Yeah…this is definitely a someone. Who else but Calleigh would Eric be this excited for. Just the thought of her on the way here has got him to forget my presence. He was mouthing things and smirking along with it.

"Hey" he loudly greeted behind her. Calleigh was shooting a few rounds, I don't know why, but is that even a question. She turned her head to the two of us, turned on the safety switch, and placed down the nine millimeter.

"Hey, you guys need me?" she removed the ear muffs over her head.

"Yeah, we do"

"Great!" she grinned her usual, notorious grin with matching accent.

Eric chuckled. "Cool"

"Yeah, cool, anyway, this guy over here has been acting like a kid about to get his candy on the way here, so…" I interrupted their stares at each other.

Eric elbowed me, while Calleigh giggled.

Calleigh gathered her things and we left the building. As we approached the Hummer, she said "So what about the others?"

I looked at Eric, who clearly was the one she was speaking to. "Uh, I don't know." He said, opening the driver's side door. Before I could even look back at Calleigh, she already got ahead of me to the front passenger seat. Sneaky girl…with obvious intentions I thought to myself. She shut the door and I eyed her though the super dark tint of the Hummer as I walked pass her window. The backseat, it is. Eric turned on the ignition as I fastened my seatbelt.

Calleigh's POV

Eric drove the Hummer to the school downtown, the drive only took ten minutes, nothing more. The traffic was fine, it was just after the end of lunch hour, when everybody already got back to their jobs.

The afternoon sunshine of Miami beamed though the windshield and into the mine and Eric's faces. His hands firmly on the wheel, Tim was at behind me doing…I don't really know or mind to care, and I was leaning and looking out the window. I saw at the corner of my eye Eric taking a glance at me, I tried not to notice and ignored him.

"You okay, Cal?" he asked. I can sense and hear Speed behind me sit up from his slouch, all interested.

"I'm fine."

He focused back to the road and turned left to the parking entrance. The turn made me sit upright away from the door. Eric picked a spot near the entrance. No event or game was taking place, though the classes were still ongoing. Nevertheless, he managed to park a pretty good spot.

An hour and a half later, Eric called Horatio and the three headed back to the lab. Speed separated from Calleigh and Eric, the two explained to Horatio. They managed to get some results, but nothing that special. Though from what they got, the suspect checks out with his depression claim.

"Okay" Horatio said.

"You need anything else?" Calleigh offered.

"No, nothing else." He smiled at her. "Thanks you two." and he left the two.

"Alright" she mumbled to herself, looking down.

Eric stood beside her, thinking of what to do next. Calleigh looked away from the floor and then to Eric. "So"

"So.." he replied. There was a short awkward silence in between them.

"You and Natalia got plans after?"

"No, no. The yoosh"

"Oh" he smiled. "So you won't aim a gun at me if I ask you out to dinner tonight?"

She stared into his eyes and sighed, "Eric….". I'd love to, she thought. This is her chance. It's undeniable, her love for him. And she's well aware of what he feels too. Though she always wondered why they never got to fix this. Not wanting to give him the wrong impression, she had to give him an answer. The shook herself away from all the thinking, and held her hands out saying "Sure" she smiled.

Eric let out gasping laugh, "Great! Great…so uh shall I pick you up after dismissal?"

"Yeah…I guess I'll see you later" she said.

sorry I had to cut it short anyhow please let me know what you think!
