Ok thank you for all of the reviews! Here's chapter 12, I think you'll enjoy the end of this chapter!
"You can't just barge in here!" Eric argued, "this is Calleigh's home."
"Well, you didn't come into work today, and we need to talk to you," Rick said, "you weren't at your apartment and Horatio wouldn't tell us where you were. We needed to talk to Ms Duquesne, so we thought we'd try here."
"Wait your not talking to Calleigh, she's not ready for that yet," Eric argued, trying to stop Rick and his friend entering the living area where Calleigh was, Eric knew she couldn't deal with this yet, the idea of Stetler grilling her made him feel sick. He hadn't been able to protect her before, but now he figured he could protect her from this.
"Eric, who is it?" Calleigh asked getting up from her place on the couch.
"Mr Delko, I suggest you let us speak to her, we'll be gentle, but we really need to know what happened." Stetler reasoned.
"I'll tell you happened," Eric replied, "some maniac kidnapped her, tied her up and raped her, he was going to kill her, I killed him, end of story." Eric was whispering, trying to prevent Calleigh from hearing anything.
Calleigh appeared at the doorway and looked at Stetler.
"What do you want?" She asked, already knowing the answer, although she couldn't believe they'd just turned up on her doorstep. She knew she'd have to talk to them, but she thought she'd be able to go to the lab in a couple of days and talk to them then.
"We need a statement from each of you about the events that have taken place in the last few days," Stetler said looking at Calleigh, she looked awful, cuts and bruises all over her face and arms, he thought maybe he had come to soon, but then again he needed a statement, and now was as good a time as any.
"Right now?" Calleigh questioned, thinking they could at least wait a couple of days, "can't it wait a couple of days, I mean why did you think you could just turn up at my apartment and force your way in to talk to me." Calleigh walked up to him, "I can come into the lab in couple of days and talk to you then."
"I'd rather do this now," Stetler said grabbing hold of her arm and starting to pull he towards her living room. At the contact Calleigh froze, she couldn't move, she was back there again, being forced into that room, she began to panic, Eric saw this and grabbed hold of Stetler pulling him away from Calleigh.
"Don't touch her!" Eric yelled, "get out!" Stetler seemed to realise what he had done.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think, but I really do need those statements from the two of you."
"No, we'll give you them later, how dare you just turn up here and…." Eric shouted.
"Eric," Calleigh interrupted, before looking at Stetler, "ok, you can have your statements but as quickly as possible, ok?"
"Sure," Stetler answered, "it won't take long." He made his way, with the other agent, into the living room. Calleigh began to follow.
"Cal, you don't have to do this now," Eric tried to persuade her.
"It's ok Eric, I'm going to have to do this sooner or later, I may as well do it now." Calleigh shrugged off any further attempt Eric made to stop her doing this and he followed her to the couch. Eric sat down next to Calleigh.
"We really should interview the two of you separately," Stetler began.
"No, you either interview us together or not at all," Eric reasoned, Calleigh was relieved at this, the idea of doing this on her own was not one she wanted to entertain. Eric took hold of her hand and squeezed it, this calmed her down a little, then Stetler began asking the questions.
After about ten minutes, Calleigh was beginning to panic, Eric was getting mad, the questions were irrelevant, they didn't need to know about how Calleigh was taken and what was done to her, they only needed to know about how Eric killed the guy. Yet, they were asking all these questions, and no answer seemed detailed enough, Calleigh would say that she'd been tied up and they wanted to know what with and how the knot was tied. Calleigh had said he'd raped her, but they wanted to know how, and how it had felt, and why she hadn't stopped him. Calleigh was near tears and they didn't show signs of stopping. Eventually talk turned to Eric, who was already pissed at them for the way they'd treated Calleigh.
"When you walked into the room, what did you see?" Stetler asked him.
"Calleigh was tied up and Bartlett was next to her with a knife held at her throat."
"Then what did you do?" Stetler asked.
"I told him to put the knife down."
"Did you have your gun drawn at this point?"
"Yes."
"What did he say to you then?"
"He said that he wouldn't put the knife down and that she was his." Eric replied.
"Are you and Ms Duquesne romantically involved?" Stetler asked.
"What?" Eric asked, their personal life had nothing to do with him.
Stetler repeated the question.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Maybe you saw your girlfriend there on that bed like that and wanted revenge."
"It wasn't like that! He was going to kill her!" Eric argued.
"Are you sure of that? Maybe you could have spoken to him, persuaded him to put the knife down."
"I tried."
"I don't think you did," Stetler cut in, "you still haven't answered my question, are you and Calleigh romantically involved."
Eric paused, he didn't even know if they were in a relationship, properly, they would have been, maybe if this hadn't happened, but at the moment neither of them was ready for this. He didn't know what to say.
"Yes." Calleigh answered for him, "we are, but B…Bar, he would have killed me if Eric hadn't shot him."
"You do know relationships within work are frowned upon," Stetler began.
"This interviews over," Eric answered walking over to the front door of Calleigh's apartment and opening it, "I think you should leave."
"Just a couple more questions." Stetler argued.
"No, no more questions leave before I have to throw you out." Eric was so angry, he had to stop himself punching Stetler in the face. "If you want anything else it will have to wait until we get back to work."
Stetler and his friend got up and walked towards the door.
"Thanks for your time," he said before leaving, Eric slammed the door behind him.
"Eric calm down," Calleigh said walking over to the window, Eric walked over and stood next to her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that," he said.
"It wasn't your fault, I was going to have to answer the questions at some point." They both stood there and watched as Stetler and the other agent left the building and Stetler walked out into the road. The next thing they saw a car speeding down the road came along and hit Stetler, who flew over the car landing on the other side of the car, dead.
I'm guessing you probably liked the end of that chapter, that was a little present to you for being such good readers! I hate Stetler to but that's ok because I just killed him, I'm so happy this is what is so great about writing these, you can just kill the characters you don't like. Evilmojojojo, you may hate the next chapter.!lol! Anyway please read and review, good or bad, I really appreciate it, and it doesn't take long, just hit the button.
