I sat in the break room staring into space. I just finished my field report for my last case and had nothing else to do. Maybe I should go home. I thought.

Natalia walked in her face a flushed pink color. "Hey Calleigh, there's a robbery at a local deli. Everyone is assigned to a case do you mind coming with me?"

"No problem let me get my kit and I'll meet you in the parking lot" I said.

"Sure" I got my kit and met her outside.

The crime scene was pretty calm. Nearby people were whispering wondering what was going on. Frank ushered us inside. "Any d.b's?" I asked. "No only the manger Mr. Robbins was in when the robbery happened." Frank said. "The robber punched Mr. Robbins, leaving him with a slight concussion.

"Are there any cameras?" Natalia said looking around. "Yes, the manager is ready to give in his statement."

"I'll interview the manager, get the tapes and you-"

"I'll print?" She laughed. Natalia always knew how to finish my sentences.

"Deal. This seems like an open and shut case" I said.

"Nothing is what it seems."

Natalia printed the scene while I spoke to Mr. Robbins. He identified the robber as a black male with a medium built then provided a sketch.

"I got a few prints hopefully we'll get a hit in CODIS."

"Same here. The video is blurry, maybe I can clear it up. Mr. Robbins gave me a description so I know who we're looking for."

At the lab I was able to clear put the tape then got a hit off the facial recognition software to a John Jackson.

Natalia walked in the AV lab. "Hey, I got a hit from the prints to a-" "John Jackson?"

"Yes, he was in prison for battery and assault with a weapon in 2007." She said.

A phone went off. "Excuse me" Natalia said before picking up. "Hello? Yes this is she. Thanks bye"

"Who was that? Do you want Frank to pick up Jackson?" I questioned.

"Can you cover for me, something came up? Do you mind interviewing him alone?"

"No problem" "Thanks I owe you one" She slipped on her coat and left.

I questioned John Jackson, he confessed to the robbery minutes after I showed him the video tapes and he asked for a plea deal.

Afterwards I went to Taco Bell to fill my craving for beefy 5-layer burritos.

At home I changed into a pair of sweats, curled up on the couch with my favorite childhood blankie (Eric makes fun of me every time he gets for still having it) and The Walking Dead on demand.

Just as the best part came on, the house phone chirped. "Ugh!" I said frustrated "Who calls house phones? I have to get rid of it" I made a mental note.

I picked up. "Hey Eric its Gloria. Are we still meeting at the usual place tonight? Did you make the reservations yet? Does she have any clue?"

"Who is this?" I asked. "Gloria, I'm guessing this isn't Eric" Gloria laughed.

"This is Calleigh Eric's girlfriend.." I said. "I heard a lot about you"

"Gloria, do me a favor forget this number and never call this number am I clear?"

"Crystal" I hung up. I was fuming.

How could Eric do this to me? I'm pregnant with his twins. Maybe Natalia was right Eric is and always will be a player.

Eric got home an hour later. "Hey babe. I'm home I would've been here sooner but there was so much traffic." He leaned in for a kiss, I moved away.

"What's up with you? Are you going through mood swings." He chuckled.

"No, Gloria called. She wanted to know when you were coming for the usual. Did you really think I was going to find out you're cheating on me?"

"Calleigh you have this all wrong. Gloria is helping me out with something."

"You're such a liar! What is she 'helping you' with?"

"I can't tell you right now. You have to trust me."

I punched him in his jaw. His mouth made an 'o'.

Neither of us has ever resorted to psychical violence before.

"GET OUT!" I spat. "Calleigh please calm down." "NOW!"

He sighed. "Fine!" His jaw was clenched.

He slammed the door making the frames on the wall shake.

I slid to the floor sobbing.
