My first story about Horatio. Bear with me again people. Thanks!
Gabrielle Walker
Chapter one
It was another busy day at the lab, Horatio asked everyone to meet him at the break room specially Calleigh.
He waited til' all of his CSI's are inside. He walked right in front of everyone.
"Listen up, you all know that Calleigh's gonna do most of the paper work and some lab stuff that doesn't involve much chemicals because of her pregnancy. We'll be needing extra hand now. I want all of you to meet Gabrielle Walker." he introduced the new addition to the team.
A lady with Hispanic features waved at them, she got brown hair with highlights of blonde. She looks like a model that came out from a fashion magazine. Her eyes are gray with long lashes.
"Hey." says Calleigh and Delko.
Natalia extend her hand to welcome the new girl. "Hello. Welcome to the team."
The rest of the team gave the new girl a warm welcome.
"Hi! You can call me Gabie, Gabrielle's a mouth full don't yah all think?" Then she gave them a warm smile.
"Where you from?" Asked Calleigh
She smiled at Calleigh. "Well, originally from California but I stayed in New York for a couple of years."
"You're very pretty!" Says Natalia.
Gabie blushed at what Natalia said. "Thanks."
Horatio was just looking at the new memeber of his team. He can't take his eyes off of her, he noticed that she has the most expressive eyes he ever saw.
She caught him staring at her and that made her blushed. She blushed even more when he didn't even look away when she noticed what he was doing.
"So Lt. Caine when do I get to start?" She asked him
He smiled at her before he answer. "You will start tomorrow but you can come with Calleigh at the balistic lab or with the rest of us in the field if you feel up to it."
"I'll stay with Calleigh then." She smiled back at Horatio.
Horatio took everyone's attention after that.
"Okay listen up, Natalia go to the crime scene with Ryan and Walter. Jesse, Eric process the evidence we have so far. Speed, we'll visit someone. A suspect." He look again at Gabie before he opens the door. "I'll see you later Miss Walker."
When they we're in the balistic lab Gabie can't stop her self from asking Calleigh about Horatio.
"Does he have a wife?" she looked at Calleigh.
Calleigh smiled at her before answering in a playful tone. "We'll let's see, I know they won't mind if I tell you these info. Ryan's dating Natalia, Jesse, Walter and Speed are all single. We'll Eric he's the father of my child and of course my boyfriend." she even giggled when she was telling Gabie all of that info.
"Oh, I mean Horatio." Gabie was blushing again.
"Oh, you mean Horatio. Yes, he is. We'll his wife died few years ago. Eric's sister."
"I think he's hot! Oh... Please don't tell him what I said Calleigh." She was blushing all over again.
Calleigh smiled at Gabie. "Of course I won't. It's our little secret." the she winked at Gabie.
"Calleigh do you mind if I go ahead? I haven't had a proper sleep since I got here in Miami. I'm just too excited to work. I'll be here early tomorrow."
Calleigh shoo her out after what she told her. "Go, you have to get some rest. You'll have a very busy day tomorrow and that's a warning. Don't worry Gabie I'll just tell Horatio that I asked you to go home so you can rest and be ready for tomorrow.
The next day Gabie arrived at the lab early. After few minutes she saw Calleigh and Eric.
"Hey guys good morning!"She approached them with a smile.
Calleigh smiled back. "Hey you're earlier than us!"
"But not as early as Horatio." Eric smirked with the thoughts of Horatio working at his office earlier than everyone else.
Gabie gasp with what Eric said. "Really!? He's already here?"
Calleigh nodded and smiled at her.
"Uh-uh someone's got the infected look." Says Eric.
Gabie looked at Eric. "What!? Infected? I don't know what you're talking about?" Then she started to blush.
"I think you got a huge crush with my brother." Says Eric.
Calleigh gave Eric a warning look. "Eric..."
"Okay, okay I'll shut my mouth." He answered with a little grin.
"Take that silly look off of your face." Says Calleigh.
With that Gabie can't help but laugh at the two senior CSIs.
"You guys are just too cute!" Then she froze when she saw someone from the corner of her eyes.
"Uhmm Cal, I think we better go. Let's leave Gabie here to Horatio." He gave Gabie a teasing smile the he called Horatio. "Hey H! Good morning."
"Eric. Ladies. How are you all doing?" Horatio asked them with his eyes remained to Gabie.
Calleigh smiled at Horatio before answering. "We're great, actually me and Eric are just about to go to the break room to grab some drinks before we start working."
"Then why don't we all just go there?" Says Horatio then the group walk towards the break room.
Gabie kept quiet and just followed the rest.
"Hey Gab, cat got your tongue?" Eric teases her.
"Eric." Warned Calleigh.
Eric raised both of his hands as sign of surrender.
Gabie laughed at them once more.
"Ms. Walker how's everything so far?" Horatio asked Gabie.
Gabie smiled shyly to Horatio. "Well so far okay, and these two are giving me a great morning. I'm just too excited to work right now."
"We'll right now just relax, we don't know what to expect later." Horatio says to her. "By the way where are you staying?"
"Right now I'm renting a place few blocks from here. I'm thinking of buying a place of my own." She was telling them the truth, she's thinking of buying her own place but she still don't know where.
Calleigh turned to Gabie. "Oh, you're lucky then. I'm thinking of putting my place in the market, I mean me and Eric doesn't need two houses right?"
"Can I see it? If it's okay with my taste then we're good, no offense Calleigh." She said apologetically
She just smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "None taken."
Horatio interrupt their conversation. "We have a situation, DB at 11th avenue. Gabie you can go with Calleigh and Eric. Calleigh, just photographs for you. I'll see there later. The rest are on their way. Keep me posted." Then he walked away.
"Okay let's go. I'll drive." Says Calleigh, then walk towards the car park, Eric and Gabie followed her.
Eric chuckled. "Oh no you won't. You drive like... Never mind. I'll drive."
"Guys, I'm still here." Gabie waved her hand in the middle of the couple. "How long do you know each other?"
They stop in front of the hummer. Then Calleigh opened the front passenger seats door and get in the hummer. Gabie sat at the back seat.
"More than a decade. We're-still a pretty good team, aren't we Eric?"
He smiled at the two ladies without looking at them. "Pretty damn good."
"I hope to have a pretty good partner like both of you." Gabie told the two older CSI.
Calleigh turn her head to the back seat. "Well I think you'll be Eric's partner for a little longer, I mean with my pregnancy and you know once this little Duquesne's born, I'll be a little pre-occupied."
"Hey, it's little Delko." Says Eric.
"Whatever Eric." Calleigh teases Eric.
They reached the location, Eric pulled over then they all came out of the hummer.
"Hey, did Horatio mention that someone called it in?" Asked Eric.
Gabie gave Eric a puzzled look.
Three of them entered the house, There was nothing inside, not a sight of a body.
"I don't feel good about this. Calleigh go back to the hummer now! Gabie go right after Calleigh." He motioned the two to go out. "Cal, hummer's key." He passes calleigh the car key and held his gun.
When the two reached outside they saw Horatio pulled over.
"What's going on!?" Horatio asked answered Horatio. "You said someone reported a DB, well there's nothing in there."
"Where's Eric?" He asked again. And started walking slowly towards the house.
Calleigh pointed at the house. "He's still there, he asked us to go back in the hummer."
Horatio nodded at them. "Calleigh, go to the hummer now, drive at least few blocks from here. Bring Gabie with you. Call for back up. Stay safe okay. Go now!" then Horatio entered the house. "Eric!? Eric!?"
"Here H!" Eric called from a corner of the house "Be careful there's a shooter out at the back lawn. He's using a silencer. My right leg got shot but nothing serious."
Before Horatio got the chance to aim at the shooter he felt a seering pain in his left shoulder.
