Chapter 10.

It was a late Thursday night four days later that Calleigh decided to pay Ron a visit. The papers that Julia had already signed were next to her. She had given them to Calleigh a couple of weeks back which had made the petite blonde wonder how long she had in fact had them.

She sighed parking her blue Chrysler Crossfire in front of his house before she took the papers and got out.

She had absolutely no idea what to say to a chance as she would normally have something like this prepared. She just sighed ringing his doorbell trying to look her as determined as she could.

He soon opened the door and looked at her with confused eyes saying, "What are you doing here, I haven't done anything."

"That is not why I am here, I have a matter to discuss with you," said Calleigh coldly, knowing he most likely had been up to no good.

"You have a matter to discuss with me," he said frowning.

"I do, can we please do this inside," she said, nodding towards the house.

"By all needs," he said letting her in, mostly because he was curious on what she wanted to say.

"Nice place," Calleigh commented, looking around with amazement as the place actually was quite tasteful.

"Thank you," he said gesturing for her to sit down on the couch.

"You are welcome," she said as she sat down, looking at him as he sat down opposite her.

"So what is it you need to discuss, if it got nothing to do with anything illegal?" he questioned.

"I want you to sign the papers so Julia can get the divorce," she said.

"What's in it for me?" he asked, his eyes were sliding from hers down to her breasts and back up again.

Calleigh that was wearing a very tight top that showed her goods pretended not to notice said,"You would be a free man."

"You gotto do better than that," he said, now eying her neck.

"What do you want in return?" she asked.

"That you and Horatio leave me alone and compensation for loss of my wife," he said with a grin.

"You never even cared for her," Calleigh almost spat at him.

"If I didn't I wouldn't have married her," he spat back.

"You only did that to piss Horatio off, if you cared for her, you wouldn't have injured her like you did, now would you just sign the damn papers and leave her alone," she snapped.

"Why do you even care, if anyone should I would think it would be Horatio," he said, glaring at her with annoyed eyes.

Calleigh didn't know how to respond so she just glared back at him.

"Out of words Miss Duquesne," he taunted.

"Please just sign," she said, between grid teeth.

"If you give me what I want I will give you what you want," he said, amused by her desperation.

Calleigh didn't know what to do, she needed him to sign, yet sleeping with him to her was not really an option as it would only complicate things with Julia. She wondered if she was strong enough to kick him off if it came to that, but is she wasn't…

She wondered if she could she could put her gun to his head and make him sign but that didn't feel right either. She sighed asking, "What exactly are we talking about here?"

"I think you already know, so which is it," he said.

"If I do this you promise to sign and leave us alone," she said.

"You have my word," he answered.

"Fine," she said with a sigh, and slid the papers over to him, hoping she could make it stop in time as she didn't want him on her. Not at all. Yet she felt she had no other choice. She looked at him signing the papers before getting up to join her on the couch.
