Chapter 4.
It was a couple of nights later Calleigh were sitting with a glass of wine and giggling while she was chatting with DocL, Horatio was starting to disappear from her mind, and the moment they were talking about child hood memories.
Lamb-chop: So what was your childhood like, can you remember anything?
DocL: I remember my sister Misca, but that's not a happy story.
Lamb-chop: How so?
DocL: She uhm…
Lamb-chop: What happened, did she die?
DocL: In the most horrible way.
Lamb-chop: What happened if you don't mind talking about it that is?
DocL: I don't, but really it's brutal and I don't want to scare you.
Lamb-chop: I have seen the most and heard even more so don't worry.
DocL: How are your feelings about cannibalism?
Lamb-chop: I have never though about it actually, not until lately, I don't really understand why people do it that's all. I mean you got so much other regular meat so why eat humans.
DocL: But you have tasted blood right?
Lamb-chop: I have when I have cut my self and such, taste sweet, but I could never eat another person, to me that would be wrong.
DocL: Have you ever tasted another person's blood?
Lamb-chop: No.
DocL: Never had so rough sex that you bit the other person so you tasted his blood.
Lamb-chop: No, but…
DocL: You wanted to didn't you?
Lamb-chop: I prefer not t answer.
DocL: So do you want me to tell you what happened to my sister?
Lamb-chop: Yes please.
DocL: This was during the Second World War and my family we were hiding in this cabin, and the Russians come shoot my parents and killed and ate my sister.
Lamb-chop: Are you serious?
DocL: Death serious.
Lamb-chop: And you watched that.
DocL: I did, but I was too young and they were too many to.
Lamb-chop: You poor thing, do you know what happened to them afterwards?
DocL: They got the punishment they deserved for their actions.
Lamb-chop: That's good.
DocL: What about your childhood then?
Lamb-chop: Ups and downs.
DocL: Come on tell me.
Lamb-chop: My dad was/is and alcoholic.
DocL: He hit you with his hand and his belt.
Lamb-chop: How did you know?
DocL: Just assumed and you're his little princess, so you forgive him time after time hoping he will change, but he never does, he just disappoints you.
Lamb-chop:…
DocL: You love him very much so it hurts you badly every time he messes up.
Lamb-chop: I have to go talk to you later.
Calleigh took up the phone dialed the name to her father; he answered and said, "Hey lamb-chop."
"Hey daddy, how are you?" she said in a childish tone.
"I'm fine, won a case today, so how is my little princess?" he asked.
"Not too good," she said.
"Is Horatio giving you a hard time?" he asked concerned.
"He broke it off with me," she replied with a sigh.
"Did he say why?" he asked.
"No, I miss you," she said.
"I miss you too, and think your mum and brothers do too," he said.
"I miss them too, in fact I was thinking about taking some days of and go home so I was wondering if we could maybe go together," she said.
"Of course princess, just let me know when," he said.
"I will talk to you later daddy," she said and hung up before she dialed Horatio's number and said, "Horatio."
"Yes," he replied.
"Would it be ok if I took some days off, I know this case needs my attention because of the three bodies, but couldn't I bring some case files along and look at it at home since I need to take some time of?" she said.
"Ok if something more happens while you are gone I will mail you the photos," said Horatio.
"Thanks will you miss me handsome?" she said.
"Always," he said.
"Well, see you at the lab before I take of," she said.
When Calleigh came into work the next day she felt some arms wrap around her waist and a male voice say, "Care to dance."
"Oh yes," she said as she felt his hardness.
He turned her and gave her a long deep kiss, she knew she shouldn't let him do that, but she had no power or desire to say no right then, and dragged him closer before he twirled her around so her back was facing him and she got closer so he let out a growl.
"You like that huh?" she said with a giggle.
"You know I do, please don't do that," he growled as she got even closer.
"Sorry, I wish I could go further, but I don't have time and I really don't wanto, so have you any suspects?" she asked.
"Not yet no one is fitting to this profile," he said with a heavy sigh.
"I know, it's really weird, this person seems so smart," she said thoughtfully.
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing, something I need to find out," she said.
"You're not doing anything dangerous are you?" he said.
"Oh I would never do that, just adventure," she said.
"You are not doing anything that could put you in danger?" he said again.
"I won't, I know what I'm doing, just trust me okay," she said.
"I do, but still…" he said a bit worried.
"Yeah, yeah, but now I have to go," she said and gave him a last kiss before she took her case files out of his hand and left.
