Chapter: 3
Calleigh roles off of Eric, looking at him in complete disbelief. "How could you do this?" She yelled, pulling the sheets to cover up her exposed body. "How could I do this to you? What about what you did to me?" Eric asked. Calleigh, ignoring him picked up her clothes and headed into the bathroom. Eric's phone rings. "Delko." He answers. "Hey, Eric, it's Natalia. We've got a case and Calleigh isn't answering her phone. Have you seen or talked to her." She asked. "Uh. No. I'll go by her place on my way in." He hangs up the phone. As Calleigh walks out of the bathroom, she doesn't make eye contact with Eric. "We've got a case. Natalia said she tried calling you, but you didn't answer. What are you going to tell her if she asks you why?" Very pissed off, Calleigh answers, "I'll tell her I was sleeping. Which I was." "Okay, well, do you want to talk about it?" Eric asked. "Excuse me? You mean the fact that I accepted an invitation to have drinks with a COLLEAGUE, and you got me drunk and took advantage of that?" She snapped. "So that's how you think it happened? Well, then, excuse me. You know, it's not my fault that YOU got YOURSELF drunk. As I recall, you are the one who continued to order more rounds of drinks." Eric bitterly replied. "Let's just go to work and forget all about this." Calleigh said. "Gladly." Eric responded. As Eric gets in the shower, Calleigh leaves. "What do we have?" Calleigh asked Natalia as she got off the elevator on the 3rd floor. "Anonymous call reporting a young girl assaulted in an alley behind Miami University. Patrol went to check it out. Found a body." Natalia stated. "Okay, well, let me grab my kit, and I'll meet you downstairs." Calleigh said. As the elevator doors open Eric gets off. He and Calleigh grab their kits, not making eye contact, and get on the elevator. The elevator doors close. Calleigh leans against the wall of the elevator, as the lights flicker. "What the hell was that?" Calleigh asks. "Nothing, just a little power flicker." Eric answered. The elevator stops. "Eric, you call that a 'little power flicker?" Calleigh asks. "DAMMIT!" Calleigh yells, kicking the elevator wall. "Well, I don't have any cell signal. What about you?" Eric asks. "No. Nothing." Calleigh says, annoyed. "Well, what do we do now?" Calleigh asks. "All we can do. Wait for the power to come back on, or for someone to realize where we are and come help us." Eric said. "Well this is just great. I get stuck in an elevator with a man I not only work with, but a man who I had sex with last night and don't even remember it!" Calleigh says. Fifteen minutes pass in silence. "You know… I did really enjoy what parts I can remember from last night with you." Eric said. "Well, at least you remember something. I'm blank" She whined. Eric gets a look on his face that worries Calleigh. "What is it?" Calleigh asks. Eric is very hesitant to answer. "Dammit, Eric, what the hell is the matter with you?" Calleigh snapped. "We taped it." He said subtly. "WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WE TAPED IT?" Calleigh yelled. "My phone… You used my phone to tape us last night." Eric replied. "Let me see." Calleigh said. "Calleigh, I don't think—" Eric said putting his phone away. "Dammit Eric, give me the phone." Calleigh demands. Calleigh and Eric watch the video. As they start to remember bits and pieces, they complement each other on the "techniques" used. And how much fun it must have been, considering the position they awoke in. In a quiet elevator, with dim lights, Calleigh and Eric started to adjust. As they stared into each other's eyes, they leaned in close. As their lips met, Eric ran his hands through Calleigh's long, blonde hair. His hand slowly made its way down her back, onto her backside. He picked her up, and pinned her against the wall of the elevator and set her on the railing. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and her legs around his waist. He ran his hand up her skirt, to remove her underwear. "Wait. Wait. Wait." Calleigh said. "What? We can relive last night, and live to remember it." Eric said, laughing. "We shouldn't be doing this Eric." Calleigh said softly. "But do we want to." Eric asked. "Oh what the hell." Calleigh said, jumping back into his arms. He pulled her skirt off. She smiled. He unzipped his zipper and pulled it out. "Go for it." Calleigh dared. "As you wish." Eric replied. After 15 minutes of mind blowing sex, and erotic fantasies portrayed, the elevator regained power. They dressed, and caught their breath in order to maintain a professional image. Natalia and Ryan were waiting when the elevator doors opened. "Delko, Calleigh and Natalia are taking the alley girl. We've got a floater in the Glades." Ryan said. "Okay then. Let's go" Calleigh says, getting off the elevator. As Calleigh is getting out of the car at the crime scene, Natalia notices Calleigh's skirt is on backward. But she doesn't say anything. "The buttons on her blouse are off. Thinking, maybe a redress." Calleigh said. "You thinking sexual assault?" Natalia asked. "Maybe. I'll have Alexx do a sexual assault kit." Calleigh answered. Alexx walks up. Looking at the girl's ID. "Lily Stewart. Fifteen years young." Alexx says with a sigh. "Any signs of rape?" Calleigh asks. "I'll be able to tell you more after I get her on my table." Alexx answered. Calleigh, Natalia, & Alexx are back at the morgue. "So, Alexx. Whatcha got for us?" Calleigh asked. "I've got DNA from the sexual assault kit…" Alexx said. Natalia chimes in, "I feel a 'but' coming on." "But, there are no signs on bruising, no vaginal tearing, however there is signs of alcohol. Her blood level was .2." Alexx said in disbelief. "That's twice the legal limit. And, do you think the sex was consensual?" Calleigh asked. "I think that is very possible." Alexx answered. "Well, depends on the age of who it was with." Natalia added. Natalia and Calleigh head back to the lab. Calleigh is test firing a weapon from another case, while waiting on the DNA results. Natalia joins her. "Uh, Calleigh. So, is there anything going on between you and Eric?" Natalia asked. "Me and Eric, no, of course not. Why do you ask?" Calleigh answered.
"Well, I know it's none of my business, but, this morning. I though your skirts was very cute. I saw the flowered design on the front. And I couldn't help but notice… when you got off of the elevator after the power outage, it was on backward." Natalia said. "Please, Natalia, just drop it. It was a mistake, and I just want to forget about it." Calleigh said ashamingly.
