the usual life of the CSIs becomes very tiring with the new psycho in the city. Even your worst colleague is a precious partner when it comes to catching a killer. Plus personal problems and joy of few makes everything harder and some are back in tr...
"Here you are" Speed put the basket on the desk. "Oh mercy..."Delko sighed "what's that again?" "Don't be ungrateful, Eric." Laughed H. "Thanks Speed. Btw.. Rick wanted to see you." "What for?" "Didn't say. But he said cito." "Aaarg.. I'll call him. Thanks. " "No problem. Hope it's something good." "Don't think so. Ok I'm outta here. " "I called Courtney btw " "Oh Yeah?" "Yeah. She's coming on Friday." "It's day after tomorrow!" "Yes. She moved her meeting for tomorrow." "That's great. I missed her already. " "Where will she be staying?" "Oh... Didn"t think of that...i need to talk to Harry. " "Talk to her first. " He smiled "Right...I will." Speed left for the door and bumped onto somebody coming in. That was Mel, carrying a box of files. They were already on the floor. "Oh Speedle, watch it! " She said annoyed. "Sorry." He leaned and started picking it up." I'll carry them for you to be rightly punished" his sarcastic comment made her smile. "Oh ok. Sorry. Didn't sleep long enough." "As we all. Apologies." He carried it to her desk "I've heard you know Courtney?" "I do" she said "we went to primary together and then to high school." "Were you close?" "Kinda :) I had 3 older brothers and no sisters. She only had a brother too , so we used to hang out together. When she left for Miami I stayed, so it loosened a bit. I've heard you're engaged." "Yeah, we are". "Congratulations. When's the wedding?" "Not set yet. We need some time for ourselves after all we've been thru. It's nice to meet you actually" Speed smiled. "You know Cardoza?" "Yep. We used to work together in St Peter's, and when Horatio started a lab in Miami, Jesse told him about me. So I came and worked here for many years." "As a CSI?" "Yep. Level 3 Trace and impressions." "Why aren't you here now?" "Long story's short. I need to pass the exam to become CSI again". She looked puzzled "I was in witness protection for two years until I was caught by the man who hunted me. The cranial fracture caused the memory loss. Many months of fighting to get better. Got my gun back after the shooting exam and became police officer again. Then there was a problem with Courtney's ex boyfriend" "Andrew? We actually all envied her. He was handsome and rich." "And a dickhead. He was abusing her, did the same with his wife. At the end he hurt Court and shot me. I lost my spleen." "Oh... Long story's short- don't look at pretty face..." "Yeah...something like that" "Will you work her when you pass?" "No. No vacancy. Idk yet what I will do. We'll see." "Thanks for helping me with the docs. " "It was a pleasure. Bye. " Speed left and Mel thought that this one has actually a pretty face too...oh whatever. Maybe this one is at least decent. "Hey Williams!" "Don't shout at me Cardoza as I was a doggie." "Sorry. I saw you talking to Speedle." "Yeah. Quite an interesting story". "Ooohh... So no beer?" "No way. I told you." She turned around and leant over the desk Jesse looked at her and thought that maybe it's worth to ask again. It's been a long time since he had someone for longer than a month... ........................... "Who's here???? " Calleigh took off her glasses. "Jake. " "Jake Berkeley? " She got pale a bit "Yes. Don't get nervous. I'm just a messenger. " "I know Eric... What the hell is he doing here?" "Working at this case with us. And you don't have to meet him everyday, but he'll surely meet you. Asked about you". "Oh my... But why?" "Idk...Cal you're in relationship now. Don't have to talk to him". "I know. I know." But Eric saw her panicked eyes. "Come on. I thought he's the past..." "He is. " "I don't think so. You're blushing Cal. It's cute. It would be great for me if I didn't know he hurt you twice and will do it again." "I'm not gonna meet him Eric." "Yeah right. You and me both know it's not true." "Calleigh?? " They heard the voice behind the door and quiet knocking. "Please stay! Please!" Calleigh whispered. "It's open" she shouted Jake entered" Hi Calleigh". "Jake! What a surprise...want something from me?" He had a quick look at Delko "I wanted to see you." "Me and Delko are really busy, so if it's the only thing- you've just seen me, goodbye." "Oh Cal, don't be mad " he looked at Eric- "can you give us a minute?" "No. " Said Eric. "Calleigh wanted me to stay. So- I'm sorry Jake but no." Jake looked puzzled at Calleigh who luckily managed to get her self- confidence back "Jake I've already told you everything I wanted. Now please stop bothering me in personal cases, cause I've got someone who may not like it. Understand?" "This...physio?I've heard something about that". "This 'physio', as you called him, is the person I can always count on. He's also got many other good features. " "Oh. I won't bother you then" Jake smiled and left. Eric felt weird in this situation. When the door closed Calleigh sat down abruptly. "Geeeez....." "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I'm happy he left". "You still like him huh?" Calleigh looked at him. "It's not like that. It's difficult between us. He's kinda... magnetic. But also a destroyer. Living with him is a parabole. I don't want that. " "Do you love Harry?" "Well, Idk if it's love yet. But I feel good with him. Safe. Appreciated. Admired. It's a great feeling. And he's very decent guy. Not mentioning good looking." She smiled. "But he's not your usual type- a guy with a gun, a bad boy". "I know. But maybe I need someone subtle? I have to try. It will be surely harder with Jake at my side." "Yeah. I'll support you". Cal goodbyed Eric and put up the phone. "Speedle." "Hi, Harry. It's me. Are you free tonight?" "I work late... Tim's not home second night in a row..." "He was at my place last night. With Eric. " She added fast. "We worked late and they got only 4 hrs of sleep. Tonight it's also busy but I could spare 2-3 hours. How about that?" "I finish at 9.30... Is that ok?" "Yeah. I really wanna meet you." "So...your place? My place? Somewhere in the city?" "Speed is gonna work late so...maybe at your place, hm?" She smiled to herself. "Sure. Will you come or shall I get you?" "Can you get me at 10? come in and ask for me ok?" "Y..yeah. " Harry was surprised. She always wanted him to wait. ............................

Jesse wan bending over the desk to match two pieces of rope together. "What are you doing?" Mel asked. "Trying hard to find a match but no luck." "Wanna help?" "Yep. Sure". She took of her jacket and bent over him. "What perfumes are you wearing?" Jesse asked. "Nike woman, nothing special." "Oh. Smells nice". "Thank you" she looked at him surprised. "What will I get if I find a match hm.?" "What do you want?" He leaned over her. "Idk.. A dinner maybe. I haven't eaten anything. " "A dinner out" Jesse smiled. His facial expression changed suddenly. "Yes. O thought that maybe we could share...some opinions...about the case, of course. I have to take a shower first and get dressed" 'Gee... She makes me mad' Jesse thought." all right. I'll cook something for you. At my home". "You invite a girl into your house, Cardoza? Not good. No way". " believe me" Jesse got much closer "My kitchen is worth it. And I have a great shower too... And a bathtub. And...." "...a bedroom" said Delko entering "Delko... Right in time. As always." Jesse turned around and sighed. Mel took her things and left laughing. "Sorry Jesse, I couldn't resist. " "You've just ruined my evening." "Come on....she will come anyway. It was just a matter of time for you two. Ropes are ready?????" "Yeah...apparently. " Said Jesse absent mindedly looking at two matching ends.
