🚔🚓Far Too Much Stolen Innocence👮🏻‍♀️👮🏻‍♂️

Even though the reason her friends were sent to Zany Town saddened her Zariah couldn't help but smile when she hears Horatio Caine's sexy smokey gravelly voice come from the tv which she was using as background noise as she did the dishes in her overly quiet.... too quiet for her liking.... kitchen "I'm not going to comment on evidence but what I will say is that this animal has provided us with a mountain of evidence and we will not sleep till we've been all the way through it because we know beneath that mountain lies his grave thank you very much"  she turns just in time to see him turn away from the crowd of reporters and lightly bites her lower lip with a smile then shakes her head and goes back to paying attention to what she was doing as the reporters clamor around and insistently continue to ask questions "they wouldn't be doing this if the girl was of a different skin color!"  she mutters to herself hating the fact that she said it but also knowing that it is true after all she deals with the same type of people when she works at the Missing Persons Department she tries her best to do it on her own but she is only one person and can only do so much and she would never use her friends to help her it was one thing when they helped her find Hamlet/Henry and Ophelia/Olivia because they did that of their own accord she didn't force much less ask them to do it but they did it anyway.... "she's adorable!"  Calleigh hears Zariah say softly from behind her "oh hi!"  Calleigh says as she turns around to face her friend "hi"  she hears Horatio say through her headpiece and she chuckles then says with a smile "not you! Zar's here visiting"  her smile grows when she hears a sound that was almost like a choke come from Horatio as his breath catches and Calleigh says to her friend "I don't know what you did to H but I think I like it!"  Zariah says with a playfully innocent tone as she stands by Calleigh's side "I don't know what you mean!"   Calleigh hears Horatio chuckle "you would think they'd have better surveillance in a place like that!"  Zariah says softly as she watches the little girl talk to a shadow of a ghost "she's talking to someone but whoever it is stayed off camera he must have surveilled the place he knew how to stay out of sight"  Calleigh tells Horatio through her headset then she asks "where are you?"  Zariah turns her attention to the other screen as Horatio replies "I'm walking towards the bathroom"  Calleigh says "ok, I don't see you.... I don't see you.... hello, handsome I see your hand"  Zariah smiles and teases "such shiny shoes you have there Ratio!"  Horatio and Calleigh chuckle then he says "I'm passing the bowling pin display where the toys are mounted on the wall how far was she from the shelf?"  Calleigh replies "about three feet"  Horatio says as he comes into full view of the camera "you couldn't see me this is the exact route he took it's perfect straight to the bathroom"  he looks up at the camera and places his hands on his hips and Zariah's heart skips a beat at the sight "I'm going to go visit Zandra"  she tells Caleigh who nods with a smile then watches as her friend leaves the room she knew that Zariah knew she would have to head back to the Crime Scene to help Horatio and the rest of the team.... the only problem with visiting Alexx was Megan was there and Megan didn't like the fact that Zariah seemed to have free reign of the place "I can assist and observe but I can't touch!"  Zariah tells her ignoring the dark look the brown haired woman was giving her through narrowed eyes "and it wasn't Horatio's rule but the entire Police Departments! I've been able to do this long before I met him so I guess you can say I went over his head before I knew he even had one!"  Zariah tells her and Megan's eyes widen at the news and Alexx chuckles at her ending joke "I guess I'll see you later Zandra.... maybe I can go bug Del or Speedy.... if they're even here"  Zariah says Alexx chuckles as Zariah does her usual departure bow and all before leaving Megan watches the woman leave the room with a expression on her face that read "that girl is weird!" then she goes back to work and the remaining women find out the true cause of why and how the little girl on the table died....
