Delko's words cut Horatio deep. He already knew that it was his fault for the deaths of the people around him. Horatio went through hell everyday to try to forgive himself, but he could never get around to it. He felt that he had, in a way, murdered them himself, even though in the back of his head, he knew it wasn't his fault. He hugged Calleigh tightly, letting her protect him from the psychological wounds Eric had caused.
The two walked into the courtroom together. Horatio knew Calleigh was anxious about the trial. When he felt her squeeze his hand, he brought it up to his face, and kissed the back of it gently. He smiled warmly at her, trying to calm her nerves. He leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Cal, calm down, sweetheart. He's not going to get out of this. Eric is going to be put away for a long time. The hotel workers are hardly credible sources. Wait until the prosecutors get to the CSIs..." he lightly kissed her ear, then sat back up to listen to the trial.
