Dreaded Wednesday

Wednesday.

The day had come that Jake was on his way back to Miami.

Calleigh didn't want to be alone today. Eric hated the fact he had no choice but to go to work. Still he had a plan for his lover and daughter not to be alone. At 7:45 before Eric left his father, Pavel came over. Calleigh and Chloe going to spend the day at Eric's parents' home.

Chloe was in her room, packing some of her favorite toys into her backpack, even though she had a trunk full of toys, not to mention a shelf of cartoons and books at nana and pop-pop's. Her mom was packing some extra clothes for her, a must for going anywhere with a toddler.

Chloe hadn't asked why she and mommy were going to her grandparents house till daddy picked them up when he was finished at work. She loved visiting their house so she didn't care why they were going there.

"Where's my kiss?" Eric said picking up his daughter in his arms before he left. At first, Chloe playfully pulled away from her daddy. He tickled her belly and she laughed. Chloe put her arms her father's neck and placed a wet kiss on his lips.

"Te amo, papi," Chloe said to Eric.

"El papi le ama, tambien, princesa." Eric said, kissing his daughter's cheeks. "You have a good at nana and pop-pop's. I'll see you this evening."

Calleigh enjoyed the day with her in-laws in spite of her nerves about Jake being back.

By 4:00pm that evening Jake Berkley was officially transferred to the custody of the Miami-Dade County Police Department. Frank and Ryan, along with four officers were there to take custody of him arrived in the parking lot of the Miami-Dade County Jail.

"Welcome back, Berkley, Didn't expect to find yourself under this sun, did you?"Frank said to Jake icily, in reference to Jake's failed flight to Rio.

Ryan said nothing. He just gave the former detective a mean stare and Det. Tripp handcuffed the new prisoner.

"I'm sure you know the drill, " Ryan told him as he began the process of fingerprinting and processing Jake. "Palms up."

Jake only scoffed as his hand prints, fingerprints were taken, this time as an inmate, not an officer of the law.

"So tell me, Wolfe, Tripp, where did I go wrong?" Jake smirked. " And how come big red and Delko didn't come to greet me? I was looking forward to the conversation."

"They're probably out arresting the person who'll be your cellmate tonight," Tripp answered. "And you went wrong when you tried to kill Calleigh."

Shortly thereafter a prison cell door slammed behind Jake Berkley. The disgraced former detective was now an inmate in an orange jumpsuit.

As Calleigh's boyfriend, Eric had really wanted to "greet" Jake at the jail. But he also knew there was noway he would be able to control himself from trying to beat Jake to a pulp. His co-workers would have had to restrain him, and Jake would only use that to his advantage. "Big Red" as Jake referred to Horatio, couldn't fit the meeting into his schedule that day and wouldn't have given the prisoner the satisfaction anyway.

At the Delkos' house Rachel had come over to visit her mother. She had bought her two sons, Diego, who was five and Jose, who was seven. Their school had an in-service day. The two boys were like big brothers to Chloe. All the family knew that the accident and the whole Jake situation had traumatized the woman Eric loved and made her even more protective of their child. That was one of reasons she was about to start counseling. She knew she was beginning to be too protective of the toddler and Calleigh, herself realized she was almost always felt nervous. A prime example of that came when Chloe and the two boys were playing in the backyard. Calleigh knew they were "perfectly safe" there. But when she heard a shriek from her daughter, even though it was shriek of joy followed by giggles because Jose was tickling her, a look of fright came to her face for a few seconds.

Rachel didn't say anything but Chlordina gave Calleigh a hug, whispering to her that things would be better soon.
