DISCALIMER: I don't own CSI Miami and i don't make any money from it

Chapter 8

Chapter 8.

When Calleigh woke by her alarm the next morning she was in a lot of pain but at least John had already left.

Calleigh dragged her self into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, her body was black and blue all over, but at least her face looked fine.

She sighed and got in the shower before she fixed her self and went into her gun valut and got her gun before her eyes searched for her locket, the one thing that made her cheer up when she needed it. She opened the heart and looked at the picture of her as a baby and her older brother Dave and smiled.

She put it on and hid it under her long sleeve shirt and left.

Calleigh was standing in the DNA lab with Eric, he looked at her and said: You ok, you seem a bit of?

"I'm ok, just sleep badly" she excused her self, she mostly wanted to go home since she was in so much pain, but she knew she couldn't since she had to much to do.

Eric smiled wagly at her and said: Well here's the results you wanted.

"Thanks, I left the papers that belong with it to downstairs, you don't mind if I take it with me down and tell you the results later on" she said.

"No, no just give me a call" he said.

"I can come back up in just a sec" she said.

"No hurry, I'll be in here all day, if not in the AV lab to much evidence" he said and smiled at her.

"Thanks Eric" she said and left the DNA lab, but as she was walking towards the elevator she was looking down in the papers and didn't see Horatio and run into him causing them bout to fell and him somehow land on top of her.

Calleigh let out a whimper of pain as he got of her and said: I'm sorry I didn't mean to harm you are you ok?

"No I'm not" she said as tears was falling form her eyes, since him landing on top of her caused her even more pain than she was already in.

"Calleigh I'm really sorry, I should have seen where I was going, let me take a look to see if I broke anything, although I don't think I did though" he said since the fall wasn't that hard.

"No" she said and looked away as she got up.

"Come on we can do it in the office so noone sees, I just wanto make sure you're ok" he said.

"No, I'm ok" she said and backed away.

"Come on I just won't harm you" he said.

"I dunno" she said.

"It will only take a second" he said.

"Uhm ok" she said thoughtfully wondering what he would do or say when he saw her bruised body as she followed him upstairs.

When they came up in his office he said: Will you please remove your shirt, I won't do anything I promise.

Calleigh sighed, since he was after all her boss, but slowly opened the bottoms and took it of so he could see.

Horatio gasped when he saw her body and arms front and back all black and blue and asked: Did John do that to you?

"No, I feel down the stairs" she said and looked down.

"I'll beat him up" said Horatio.

"NO, YOU CAN'T" she said harshly and looked him in the eyes as her tears started to fall, she was terrified that if Horatio interfered it might get worse.

"Calleigh I won't let him do that to you" he said and tried to put his hand on her arm, but she backed away in fear.

"Please don't do anything" she begged him.

"How much pain are you in?" he asked.

"It's so bad that I just wanto go home" she said.

"You can you know" he said.

"No, to much to do" she said.

"When is his shift?" he asked.

"Seven to three I think" she said.

"That's weird hours, you sure" he said.

"No wait it's eight to four like me, but he had some paperwork to catch up on so he had to go early" she said.

"So he won't be home now" he said.

"No, but" she said.

"I understand, I got it, can't you just got to my place rest for some hours and come back" he said.

"You sure what if he comes and asks for me" she said worried.

"I'll tell him you're of in the field" he said.

"What if he checks and finds out you're lying" she said.

"Well I out rank him and if he tries bust into my house, well he's a coop he'll figure it out" he said.

"But he can" she said.

"One thing at the time, here's the key, you know the address right" he said.

"Think so" she said.

"Well I'll check on you later" he said.

"Thanks" she said and left.

Calleigh opened the door at Horatio's place and locked it after she gotten inside. The place was bigger than she would have though, but right now she didn't care, they only thing she cared about were finding the bedroom so she could sleep.

She found it on the second try and got undressed so she only had her underwear on and crawled into his bed, it smelled just like him, and it made her feel so safe.

Calleigh closed her eyes and fell a sleep at once, she didn't even care to set the alarm she was just to tired.

John was pissed he had been at the crime lab without seeing Calleigh's car and when he couldn't find it at her place or at home he went back to the crime lab and found Horatio and said: Where is she?

"Who?" Horatio asked confused.

"Don't play stupid, where is Calleigh?" he asked.

"What you want her for?" Horatio asked.

"I have some business with her now where is she?" he asked again.

"She's out in the field" said Horatio.

"No she's not I checked, so now tell me where she is" said John.

"How should I know it's not like I have a radar or video surveillance on the woman" said Horatio calmly.

"What are you saying" said John.

"I'm not saying anything only I have no idea where she is" said Horatio.

"I thought you were her boss aren't you supposed to know where she is during her work hours" said John.

"Well even if I did I don't have to tell you" said Horatio.

"Fine I'll find her my self you stupid old man" said John and left in anger.
