In The Heat Of Miami

Chapter 6: Black Roses Red

Note: I decided to bring Julia into the story a little bit to bring in some drama for Horatio. Hope you enjoy my ducaine fanfic please remember to comment at the end, thanks.


As Calliegh drove to the scene she was called to she rolled down the windows, put the volume on the radio loud enough to hear the voice of the person talking about the news.

She really wanted to find out what Horatio wanted to talk to her about. All ears were on him until Julia showed up out of the blue.

Calliegh knew that she was going to be with Horatio, there would be Kyle too. Since Horatio made room in his heart for Calliegh and Kyle. Calliegh knew she could make room for Kyle.

With Kyle in the picture, Julia was bound to show up unannounced to Horatio. It kind of bothered her a bit more than ever now. But what could she say to him? Be mean and tell him she doesn't want Julia around?

Meanwhile Horatio stood and talked to Julia. But nothing was going to fool him this time. He really wanted to talk to Calliegh; he just had to wait a little while longer.

"Julia, I was in the middle of something" he said seriously.

"But Horatio, I wanted to talk to you" she explained looking straight in his face.

"Whatever it was, it could have waited" he tried to explain. Julia gently placed her hand on his arm.

"You could have called; you didn't have to come down here"

"But I wanted to" a smile came across her face. "You know you still love me john"

"I need you to leave Julia, now is not the time or place "he pulled his arm away.

"Fine Horatio, you love her don't you" she asked him straight looking into his blue eyes.

Horatio's expression didn't change. "I know you do" she whispered as a smile grew across her face.

Julia stepped into the elevator. "Goodbye, john" she spoke as the doors closed in front of him.

Horatio shook his head and took a deep breath.

"Boss" Natalia spoke from a few feet away. She waited to talk to him as he was speaking with Julia.

"Natalia what do you have for me" he asked her as he approached her and they started to walk down the hall together.

After Natalia explained to him what they had uncovered there was one question he couldn't help but ask.

"By any chance, Natalia do you know where Calliegh was called out too?"

Ryan called her for back up at a scene out on Tropicana, downtown, she explained then excused herself to go back o her office.

Horatio unclipped his cell from his belt, auto-dialled calliegh's number as he let it ring he walked into his office and turned to the window.

"Duquesne" she announced. "Calliegh"

"Horatio" she spoke with a smile"

"What's going on down there" he asked her. "Found a deceased male stabbed in his apartment, I'm on my way back soon"

"Is everything alright Horatio?" she asked him concerned. "Yes"

"Do you still want to talk to me?"

"Of course sweetheart, but it can wait"

"I'll see you soon Horatio" Calliegh spoke ending the call turning back to Ryan as he put his kit in the back of the hummer.
