Chapter 2
"Yeah, everything's good. I think he was just a little embarrassed about the state he was in last night…" She said softly, hoping he wouldn't ask anymore as she knew she couldn't lie to him.
"Ahh, I see." Horatio said softly.
"He didn't try anything, did he?" Horatio asked softly, he then heard her exhale on the end of the phone. 'I knew he had, I should have gone instead, or at least with her!' Horatio thought to himself, feeling as though it was his fault.
"Not really, he wanted to though." Zoë said truthfully.
"What did he do?" Horatio asked immediately, worried about her and whether it had upset her. She heard the urgency and frustration in his voice.
"He just put his hands on my waist, I warned him to back off and to think about what he was doing. There's no need to worry handsome." She said softly, knowing it would be a sensitive subject for Horatio.
"You warned him off? Did he not back off?" Horatio asked, picking up on her carefully chosen words, knowing that it suggested he tried more. 'If he did anything more, I will have his head.' Horatio thought to himself, agitated.
"I warned him off, but he did try again by moving his hand, going to get a feel and wanting to kiss me, then when I warned him again and took hold of his wrists he immediately backed off when sense hit him. Don't worry about it handsome, he didn't try anything else and was very apologetic. He literally only put his hands on my waist. He wasn't forceful at all, it was just the alcohol." She said softly. "Don't blame him okay? I've forgiven him and you shouldn't take anything any further." She added, knowing that he'd want words with Ryan.
"Okay sweetheart." He said softly, accepting her wishes and knowing that she was telling him the truth and that it hadn't bothered her too much.
"Want some company?" She asked with a cheeky smile.
"Always" he replied with a smile already.
"I'll be right over handsome." She said as they hung up. She put her shirt and trousers on and walked over. It was a cold night and she thought 'Woah, it's rather chilly for Miami!' as she walked down the road. Her chest began to tighten and she then arrived at Horatio's. 'Ah shit, no time to take my inhaler before getting there.' She thought as he opened his door before she even knocked.
"Come in beautiful." He said with a smile.
"Thank you." She said as she stepped in and coughed as she turned away and covered her mouth.
"Sorry." She apologised, looking back to him.
"Not to worry." He said as he took her jacket and hung it up.
"Do you mind if I use your bathroom, please?" She questioned, quickly placing her inhaler in her trouser pocket.
"Of course, you know where it is." He said with a smile. She walked over to the downstairs bathroom as he went through to the kitchen. He then heard her coughing and began to walk over towards the bathroom.
"Zoë, are you alright beautiful?" He questioned. She took her inhaler as she leant on the sink basin. She didn't hear him as she began to panic slightly, telling herself to calm down or it'll make it worse.
"Zoë? Are you okay sweetheart?" He questioned as he knocked on the door.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She called through the door.
"Do you mind if I come in?" He asked hearing her cough and wheeze through the door.
"Erm… sure" she said as she turned to the door and stood up straight and then coughed again as he walked in.
"Sweetheart, sit down." He said as he saw her beginning to panic, he pulled her over to the loo and sat her on it with the lid down. She took another puff and held her breath then exhaled.
"You're okay sweetheart." Horatio reassured her gently rubbing her back and shoulder.
"Sorry, it's cold out there." She said with a shy smile.
"Sweetheart, you don't need to be sorry! You shouldn't have to feel like you should hide this from me." He said caringly.
"I know, old habits are hard to break." She said and then she coughed again. 'Old habits?' He thought to himself.
"Do you want some water?" He asked.
"Please." She said with a small smile as she calmed herself down. He quickly came back with a glass of water. She sipped some as it became easier to breathe.
"Thank you handsome." She said as she stood up.
"Not a problem sweetheart." He said as he placed his hand on the side of her neck.
"Come and sit down." He said with a smile as he moved his hand to her back. They walked through to the living room.
"I'm sorry it's late honey, I got caught up with work." She said with a smile.
"Don't worry about it beautiful." He said as they sat down.
"How are you feeling now?" He asked as she pulled her legs up under her.
"A lot better thank you, the cold air sometimes sets it off, despite the good control!" She said with a shy smile.
"Are you sure?" He said looking at her still slightly concerned.
"Yeah, I'm really okay now." She said with a smile, reassuring him.
"Good." He said with a smile.
"Anyway, hello" She said smiling as she gave him a kiss.
"Hello." He said as they kissed softly, she pulled back and smiled at him biting her lip softly.
"What?" He asked with a smile, seeing that look in her eyes.
"Nothing, it's just good to see you again, outside of work." She said with a cheeky grin. A boyish grin appeared across his face as he looked down.
"Do you want a coffee?" He asked with a smile when he looked back up at her.
"Erm… go on then, thank you." She said as she grinned at him. He got up and she stood after he did and walked through to the kitchen with him. He got two mugs out and put the coffee, sugar and milk in and waited for the kettle to boil. Zoë walked over to him and put her arms around his neck and looked up into his eyes.
"You know what…" She said biting her lip.
"What?" He said with a curious grin as he wrapped his arms around her lower back.
"I love you." She said gazing into his sparkling blue eyes.
"I love you too, a lot." He said as two massive grins appeared across their faces. They had both been waiting to say that, Zoë could no longer wait.
She pulled him in closer as he tightened his grip of her waist and back as they lightly kissed. The kettle had finished boiling. Horatio couldn't help but be overwhelmed, he'd been waiting for that day for a very long time, he'd even had dreams of her telling him that she loved him.
"The… coffee?" Horatio asked between butterfly kisses.
"Forget… about… it." She said between kisses, not wanting to break the moment.
She bit his lip gently and then their tongues met after they parted lips, their breathing increased as they turned and Zoë pushed Horatio back against the counter. She let one of her hands travel down from his neck to his chest as she placed her palm over his strong chest. 'I bloody hope we aren't disturbed tonight.' Zoë thought to herself.
'I love you so much. I cannot believe just how perfect this moment is right now.' Horatio thought to himself.
He gently moved his hands to sit on either side of her waist. Her other hand came down as she brushed his neck with her fingertips and she began to unbutton his shirt again, she unbuttoned it fully then pulled it out of his trousers. She ran a hand around his waist and with her fingertips brushed up from his stomach to his neck softly with her other hand, she placed her hand on the side of his face as she lovingly kissed him. His right hand slid down and rested on her ass as his left un-tucked her shirt and he softly ran his hand up her side until it met the fabric of the side of her bra, he gently ran his hand back down. He slowly pushed her back so she leant against the island counter, he could feel himself grow in his trousers as he began to undo the top buttons of her shirt.
Horatio broke from the kiss briefly "are you comfortable with this?" he asked delicately, wondering if he was pushing her too far too quickly.
"Yes completely, are you?" She asked, concerned that she was pushing him too far.
"Yes" Horatio replied with a wide grin. They began to kiss again as Horatio finished undoing her buttons. She felt him grow in his trousers and it aroused her more so. She dropped one of her hands and wrapped her arm around his lower back, pulling him closer to her. He pushed her shirt to the sides and placed his hands on her waist, his right hand slowly made its way up to her left breast. He tenderly squeezed her breast in her bra and he felt her deepen the kiss, asking for more. He couldn't help but smile a little. 'She's so perfect, I am the luckiest man alive.' He thought to himself. He gently pulled at the cup of the bra and smoothly let his fingers move over the skin of her breast before tenderly massaging her breast, feeling her roused nipple in the middle of his hand. A low groan was let from her throat, feeling pleasure already.
"Upstairs?" She said out of breath and between a kiss.
"Mm-hmm" He agreed with her and then dropped his hand from her bra as she took a hold of his other hand and they walked out of the kitchen and rushed over to the stairs where Zoë gently pushed Horatio against the wall again. She ran her hands from his shoulders down his bare chest and around his waist pulling him closer to her. They kissed passionately again as they gently bit each other's lips every so often.
Horatio then took her hand and they climbed the stairs. She again leant him against the bedroom door, she put both of her hands on his strong shoulders and pushed the shirt off as it fell down to his feet, heightening the anticipation.
She gently ran her hands over his bare chest when he turned her around and lightly pushed her against the door. Horatio pressed his large member against her. He also placed his right hand on her waist as he traced the skin below the bottom of her underwire of her bra with his fingertips under her right breast. It drove her crazy and she firmly pulled him into her as she let out a small moan, the anticipation was killing the both of them.
Their torso's made contact and their skin tingled where their skin was lightly brushing against each other's. Horatio slowly opened the door and they didn't break from the kiss as Horatio backed Zoë towards his bed. The back of her legs made contact with the bed as she stopped. They both flicked their socks off using their feet, continuing to let their tongues dance slowly together.
Zoë's hands explored his upper body when they found the belt buckle and she began to undo it as his hands also unbuttoned her trousers. They both dropped each other's trousers at the same time and his hands found the sides of her lace underwear, it drove him crazy, he could feel the lace run through is fingers.
They turned and Zoe lightly laid him down on the bed. They opened their eyes and realised that it was dark in the room. Horatio found her hand and pulled her down as he shuffled up the bed and flicked the lamp on. She was kneeling on the bed in her underwear and shirt. She straddled him as he sat up and pushed the sides of her shirt to the sides. His hands travelled up as they kissed, he didn't open his eyes, but he visualised her in his mind, his hands travelled over the bottom of her ribs and over her breasts and then flicked her shirt off her shoulders.
She flicked the shirt off the bed and leant forwards, laying him down on the bed as she pressed herself against him, he felt the fabric of her bra against his chest. She teased him by gently rocking her hips.
"Mmm" Horatio groaned as he sat up and began to kiss her neck as her skin tingled under his lips. She held her head back as his hands softly moved from her waist up and he very gently cupped her breasts.
"Mm" Zoë moaned as her head rolled and her hands slid up his arms and around his neck. His hands slid over her breasts and around to the back. He smoothly undone the clasp and quickly pulled the bra off before Zoë pushed him back down and pressed herself against him as she slipped her tongue into his mouth. He felt her breasts against his chest and very smoothly rolled over to lay her on her back as he began to kiss her neck. Their desire intensified to a new height and then Horatio began to gently mouth at her neck. Her stomach muscles tensed under the desire. Her nipples hardened in the air as Horatio began to suckle at the top of her chest as he brought his right hand up and very gently caressed her left breast. He felt her hard nipple in the middle of his palm as he then brushed his fingertips over it.
"Ughh Horatio." She moaned as her legs collapsed towards the bed.
"Ah-mm" Horatio moaned back as he began to kiss around her right breast. He then engulfed her right nipple in his warm mouth and flicked it with his wet tongue.
"Ahh!" She almost yelped with desire. She pulled him back up and kissed him passionately as she rolled him over onto his back. She pressed herself against him and gently rocked her hips against his.
"Mhmm!" Horatio moaned. She gently broke the kiss and began to kiss her way down his body until she got to the rim of his boxers. She pulled them down and off and then threw them across the room as she began to kiss the very tip. She took a hold of his length with her right hand and his appetite for her dramatically increased and he pulled her up to him and kissed her.
His tongue passed her lips as he rolled her back over. He kissed her as he supported himself on his left elbow and gently rolled her left nipple between his fingertips. She moaned with passion and took hold of his hips as he again engulfed her nipple with his mouth and flicked at it with his tongue. He moved over to the other one as she ran her hand hard through his hair.
"Ahhh Horatio!" She moaned loudly. He felt the rising of her chest increase as she began to breathe a lot more deeply. She pulled him back up and kissed him lightly then firmly, before she bit his lip as he gently squeezed her breast and heard a groan leave her throat. Her hands travelled up to his chest and then around to his back where she lightly traced his spine with her fingertips which drove him crazy again. They rocked their bodies together.
"Uhhh Zoë." Horatio moaned and pressed his lips to hers.
He pulled her lacy underwear down and she flicked them off. They kissed again as desire raged through their bloodstreams. He teased her entrance with his tip and it drove them both insane. She pulled his head down and pressed her lips to his as they kissed.
"Protection?" Horatio questioned between a kiss.
"I'm… on the… Pill" she groaned between kisses.
"Mmm" he moaned. They rocked their bodies more as Horatio rolled her nipple through his fingers again.
"Horatio! Ahhh-urhh" She moaned louder as she pulled him down on to her again. He circled her wet, hot entrance, and then rubbed it with the tip. It drove him insane as well as her.
"Mmm" he moaned again.
"Horatio" she moaned almost breathless, the anticipation getting stronger and stronger. He slowly entered her and her legs fell apart. "Mmmmmm" she groaned again. He pulled backwards and then thrusted forwards again, slowly to begin with. Their lips locked as they both began to breathe wildly as Zoë ran one hand through his hair and had the other around his back. He thrusted forward again and again, gradually getting firmer as he threaded a hand through her hair.
"Zo" he moaned between a kiss.
"Mmm" she moaned as he began to get faster. Her legs rose again and she began to rock her hips as he powered in and out.
"Urhhh!" She began to moan aloud as they broke from the kiss and placed their foreheads together.
"Mmmmm" she began to moan loudly as did he. He could feel her muscles starting to contract around him as he thrusted forward and back, intensifying the pleasure for him and he moaned more.
They both worked together and began to work faster.
"Ah! Ahhh Horatio!" She moaned. "Ahhhh Horatio!" She began to almost yell as her body became unhinged and she writhed in pleasure beneath him. Her muscles contracted around him as he powered into her.
"Uhh Zo, Zoë!" Horatio groaned as the pleasure surged through his body.
"Horatio!" She yelled as he felt her muscles contract around him once again and her body began to almost shake beneath him in pleasure as her chest rose. She began to come down from the orgasm, still feeling pleasure rip through her body.
With his right hand he began to squeeze her left breast and then played around with her nipple causing her to call out to him again.
"Oh my gosh Horatio!" She almost shouted.
He was still driving into her as she began to climax again, along with him.
"Mm-mmahh!" He moaned loudly as he let go of her breast.
"Zoë!" He moaned in her ear. They moved together, causing an unbelievable amount of pleasure to course through them.
"Zo-ahhh, Zoë" he groaned.
"Mmm Horatio!" She moaned. They moaned together as the movement of their bodies got faster.
They both began to climax as he felt her contracting around his length again. She pulled his body in close and they moaned each other's names and groaned unrecognisable noises.
With a few hard and fast pushes Horatio could feel himself about to explode into her as the muscle walls tightened around him again. Another push as he had erupted into her letting out one long moan as he dropped his head beside hers as she almost whimpered into his ear with outstanding amounts of pleasure, they laid there breathless.
"Oh Horatio" She said breathless as she exhaled with her tired arms sprawled out either side. He was still inside her and she was still contracting around him, he felt her walls pulsate around him in time with her heartbeat.
"Ah Zoë" He said with a smile as their bodies twitched.
"Oh my gosh Horatio!" Zoë said as she exhaled with a massive grin. Horatio rolled off her, exiting her. Her body again went into a little spasm. He turned his head and looked over to her as she turned her head to look at him. They both smiled at each other and leant up and met each other in the middle and began kissing again.
"I love you." Zoë said breaking off the kiss.
"I love you too." Horatio said as they went back in for another kiss, their mouths entwined as pulses of pleasure ripped through their bodies still. Zoë laid back down and exhaled with a smile.
Horatio leaned over and his eyes fell to the scar from the shooting a couple of months back. He traced it with his fingers.
"It's healed well." He said softly looking up at her with soft relaxed blue eyes and she smiled at him with a nod. She then felt him trace the very old scar along her ribcage. She looked up at the ceiling, hoping he wouldn't ask, he saw her hesitance and he dropped his head and gave her nipple another flick with his tongue.
"Hey you!" She said with a cheeky grin as she leaned up and over him, causing him to lie down again. His hand was still placed over her ribs as he watched her lean over him and pick her bra up. She put it on and looked up at him seductively and bit her lip. She then looked around for her underwear.
"You're not getting dressed, are you beautiful?"
"I'm afraid I have to, I should get home." She said with a small shy smile.
"Stay here tonight." He asked sweetly, cupping her face.
"But what will I wear to sleep in?" She asked with a cheeky smile.
"Nothing" he answered with a boyish smile.
"Hmm…" She said looking at him with a raised eyebrow. She leant over him and delicately pressed her lips to his and kissed him softly as his hand travelled down her back and waist. "I tell you what, if I can sleep in one of your shirts or t-shirts, and have a shower. I'll stay." She said biting her lip inches away from him.
"You got it." He said as he pulled the duvet over them and cupped her face with his hand and went in to kiss her again. They lightly brushed their lips together as they smiled with their eyes closed. They could feel each other smiling as Horatio lightly ran his fingers down her face, neck and then through the middle of her breasts. He traced the underwire of her bra and then down her side to her lower back where he pulled her closer to him. He rolled her back and gently placed his hand on her hip as he supported himself with his other arm. He then moved his hand from her hip and began to sweep his fingers over her stomach. He gradually worked his way down lower as a grin appeared across his face as he kissed her.
"I need… that… shower." She said between butterfly kisses.
"Do you… have… to?" He said between butterfly kisses and then they broke from the kiss as they looked into each other's eyes and smiled. He quickly brought his hand back up and placed it on the side of her ribs.
"It's a part of our deal, and if we carry on, we're not going to get into work on time tomorrow." She said biting her lip. A boyish grin appeared across his face.
"Let me have that shower, and I'll be back here before you know it." She said smiling up into his light blue eyes.
"Okay beautiful." He said smiling down at her as he rolled over on to his back. She shuffled over to the edge of the bed and picked up her underwear. She put them on under the duvet and then picked up her shirt and got up turning to Horatio as she slid it on over her shoulders.
"I'll be back in a moment." She said as she flicked her hair back out of her shirt.
"I can't wait." He said with a smile.
"You're going to have to." She replied with a cheeky smile as a boyish smile beamed across his face. She turned around and headed for the en-suite bathroom, his eyes followed her body through, observing the way she walked. He felt himself beginning to stir again down in the lower regions so he got up and pulled his boxers up as he got himself a pair of joggers out of the set of draws. He went downstairs and made that coffee and then went upstairs again and placed the two mugs on the bedside cabinet. Zoë popped her head around the corner with her long hair tied up.
"How about that shirt, please handsome?" She said with a cheeky grin as he looked up at her.
"It's on its way." He said as he got a shirt out and passed it to her.
"Thank you." She said with a sweet smile as she bit her bottom lip. She put it on and walked out and did up the first few bottom buttons, leaving the last 3.
"Coffee?" He asked as he picked up a mug and handed it to her as she smiled at him. He took a quick shower and came back out in night pants and a t-shirt.
She was sat down on the right side of the bed and he sat on the left. They placed their mugs on the bedside cabinets and got under the duvet, they sat up and finished their coffee, not exchanging many words, but having a whole conversation as she rubbed his leg with hers, giving him a cheeky smile and he replied.
They slipped down into the bed and Horatio turned the lamp off.
"Good night handsome." She whispered in his ear.
"Good night beautiful." He whispered in hers and then his lips found hers as they lightly brushed them together. 'Could life get any better?' Horatio questioned himself and he couldn't think of anything that would top the situation.
They both fell asleep, Zoë before Horatio. 'You're so beautiful, I couldn't have wished for a better evening.' He thought, looking at her sleep peacefully. A smile grew across his face. He could feel her breath steadily hit his neck as it relaxed him further. Horatio eventually fell asleep at ease, the first time in a very long time that he'd gone to sleep without a worry in his mind. They went to sleep with a smile on their faces, happy, something both of them needed.
Horatio woke up the next morning around 5.05am, he woke up to the feeling of Zoë's left arm draped over his chest and her warm, soft body against his. He turned his head and saw Zoë, sleeping peacefully next to him, with her breath lightly travelling over his shoulder. He laid there still, as a smile appeared across his face, affectionately watching her sleep. He wanted to hold that memory forever. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes thinking about the previous night. The thought of it had him stirring in his boxers. He felt Zoë's chest rise against his arm and her breath roll over his shoulder again. He looked around to her and she was beginning to wake up. She opened her eyes and caught Horatio's gaze. She began to smile as she closed her eyes again and nuzzled at his shoulder.
"Morning beautiful" he said huskily.
"Morning handsome" she said sweetly with a tired smile. She was already turned on hearing his husky, sleepy voice. He moved the left hand and felt it brush against something smooth. He quickly realised it was the top of her legs. She felt him brush his hand over the top of her legs and she wanted him again. She leant over to kiss him but he slid her hand over her inner thigh and stopped her in her tracks as she gasped for air biting her lip as her desire grew stronger. He lightly traced circles on her inner thigh as she leant over on him, placing a hand on his chest.
She pressed her lips to his and whispered "you have to stop that, or we're never going to get to work." He gave her a boyish smile as he cheekily chuckled at her. He pulled his hand up and placed it on her hip. She softly kissed him and his hand disappeared up her the shirt she was wearing, his palm and fingers slid up her side and felt her velvet skin beneath, he felt the curve from her hips to ribs and he just wanted her again.
"What… did… I… say?" She asked between butterfly kisses, smiling at him.
"I believe you said 'oh my gosh Horatio!" He said as they broke from the kiss as Horatio gave her a cheeky smile.
"I meant just now…" She said looking at him biting her lip with a very cheeky smile. Horatio just looked at her with that grin of his. She quickly glanced at the clock and back at him.
"I really need to go; I'll see you at work handsome." She said as she gave him one last loving kiss as she placed a delicate hand on his chest.
"I'll see you there beautiful." Horatio said as he slowly withdrew his hand from her body with a smile. She shuffled out of bed and picked up her shirt and trousers which had been thrown around the room and disappeared into the bathroom, reappearing a minute later.
"I'll see you there, I love you handsome." She said as she bent down over him to kiss him.
"I love you too." Horatio said as he gave her a loving kiss back. She gave him a smile as he sat up and placed a hand on her waist, he then stood up and kissed her again with his hands planted on her waist. She was losing herself to her desires again. She pulled back.
"Horatio, I really need to go. I'll see you later honey." She said as she placed a finger on his lips, and then released them with a small cheeky smile as she bit her lip.
"Okay sweetheart, I'll see you at work." Horatio said as he gave her one last kiss, he then loosened his grip around her waist. They walked downstairs and Horatio showed her out. He watched her walk up the road and then made himself a coffee, grinning to himself. 'That was the best evening in a very long time, you should think yourself lucky! She's one amazing woman, one amazing woman that loves you back.' He thought to himself as a wider grin appeared across his face.
Zoë got home went for a jog and then had a shower, made coffee and sat down to think about the night. She rested her head back on the sofa, with the hot coffee in her hands. She closed her eyes and grinned at the ceiling. 'Wow, what a magical night.' She thought as she replayed the evening in her head. 'You're one lucky woman. I always knew he was perfect, he's definitely one in a million… actually, more like one in a billion.'
Everyone got to work and they were all called out to attend a double murder in a large house, in a secluded area. The son had woken up and come out of his room to find his parents deceased in the living room. Horatio, Ryan, Eric and Zoë attended, along with Alexx.
"What have you got for me, Alexx?" Horatio asked, looking over at Zoë the other side of the room, trying to hide a smile.
"They were both poisoned with Cyanide, however, it looks like they died at least an hour to two hours apart, it's strange Horatio." She said looking up at him as he quickly looked back down to her with his smile diminishing.
"The husband died after the wife, I can tell you that." Alexx said looking at the husband.
"Thank you Alexx, let me know if you find anything else." Horatio said as he looked back up at Zoë.
He walked off to look around and to make sure the son was looked after. Ryan, Eric and Zoë all processed the scene, Alexx got the bodies back to autopsy.
Ryan walked into the room where Zoë was working.
"You seem very happy this morning…" Ryan questioned as she turned around to look at him with a brilliant grin.
"Is there something wrong with that?" She questioned with a grin.
"No, not at all. I just think it's a little too early to be that happy." Ryan said with a shyish smile.
"It's never too early to be this happy." She said softly, glancing over at Horatio. Ryan nodded and looked down with a smile, happy himself now that she had brightened up his morning.
"Got anything?" He questioned, trying to change the subject.
"Nope, you?" She asked, looking at him softly.
"Yes, Delko and I got a few things from upstairs, we're going to head back to the lab, are you coming?" Ryan asked with a small smile.
"I'll be along in a little while honey, something isn't quite right and I want to find out what it is." Zoë said softly as she looked around the room.
"Okay, I'll see you back at the lab. Give me a ring if you need anything." Ryan said softly as he turned.
"Thanks; see you later." She said as she got back onto what she was doing. She got up after finding nothing in that room and walked through into the study, placing her kit on the floor by the desk before looking over the desk for any evidence at all. 'What is it with this house?' She asked herself, looking around the room again, her happy mood quickly diminishing.
She picked up her kit and put it on the desk when she found something under the chair by the side of the desk.
Horatio walked into the study where she was kneeling on the floor. He smiled when he laid his eyes on her.
"Got something?" He asked as he stood in the doorway, looking at her tenderly, fiddling with his sunglasses.
"Yeah, I've got a pill pot." She said as she stood up with it in a pair of tweezers. She held it up to inspect it. "I've also got a nice print." She said with a smile as she then focused on Horatio coming over and stood close, looking at the print. She grinned at him, as he grinned back at her briefly.
"Good find." He said with a smile at her. She bagged and sealed it, placing it in her kit. She turned around to speak to Horatio when a loud noise was heard; they looked up and around wondering what it was. Horatio immediately recognised the sound and almost jumped forward and took a hold of her arm.
