Running Back And Forth
PD, four days later
Horatio: Alright, we've tracked down her last known address.
Tripp: Yeah it's in The Gables.
Horatio: How poetic.
Tripp: She has a sense of humor.
Horatio: Yes, it seems that way.
Tripp: She's got parents in Georgia.
Horatio: We start there.
Tripp: You goin' up there?
Horatio: Not currently.
Tripp: Why not? She's probably up there right now.
Horatio: I want to check her residence first.
Tripp: For what?
Horatio: Evidence.
Tripp: What evidence?
Horatio: We can't just run around Georgia, we need to know where she'll be.
Tripp: Something tells me her house isn't just going to give that away.
Horatio: They say the walls have ears.
Tripp: Yeah I think that's figurative.
Horatio: *looks down the hall*
Calleigh standing with a bunch of women, all of which are squealing
Tripp: New baby?
Horatio: Mhm.
Tripp: Yeah you can hear the women squealing from a mile away. Thank God I never had kids.
Horatio: You don't like kids?
Tripp: Sure I like 'em. I just don't want to live with 'em.
Horatio: *smirks*
Calleigh: HORATIO! *runs over, baby in hand* I was meaning to see you.
Horatio: Here I am.
Calleigh: *grinning* Hey Frank.
Tripp: *smiles* Hi.
Horatio: So this is the little boy.
Calleigh: Yep.
Horatio: He's very handsome.
Calleigh: That is sweet of you to say.
Horatio: You don't agree?
Calleigh: Oh he's my little prince. Oh hey have you seen Eric?
Horatio: Not today, why?
Calleigh: I left a bunch of paperwork in ballistics last month and I wanted to make sure he got it, and put it in the outbox with the rest of the paperw-
Horatio: It's all been taken care of Calleigh.
Calleigh: *sigh* Good. Oh Frank can you hold him for a minute, I need to grab my phone.
Tripp: Uh...Sure Calleigh.
Calleigh: *hands baby to Tripp*
Tripp: *holding baby as far away as possible*
Horatio: *takes off shades* Ahem..Frank it's a baby not a weapon.
Tripp: I know.
Horatio: *shakes head*
Calleigh: *on phone* I KNOW! Girl I have to stop by sometime and we should do lunch. Mhm? Okay yeah.
Tripp: ...Is she done on that damn phone yet?
Horatio: Patience is a virtue.
Calleigh: *hangs up phone* Okay give me my little boy.
Tripp: Gladly.
Calleigh: *takes baby*
Horatio: He's sure quiet.
Calleigh: Yeah, he's very good.
Horatio: Excellent.
Calleigh: *smiling*
Tripp: Well I've got to get the warrant for that house. It was great seeing you Calleigh.
Calleigh: You too Frank.
Tripp: *leaves*
Calleigh: You ever think of having one of these Horatio?
Horatio: *smiles* It's crossed my mind a few times.
Calleigh: Now that is an answer I didn't expect.
Horatio: I guess I can still surprise the best of us.
Calleigh: *nods*
Horatio: Well I've got to head back to work, are you alright on your own?
Calleigh: Oh yeah I'll be fine. I can entertain the girls here all day.
Horatio: Alright you do that. I'll see you a little later.
Calleigh: Okay.
Horatio: *walks away*
Bunch of women rush over and start squealing
Tracy's house, two hours later
Delko: Wow nice place.
Speed: It's not that big.
Delko: *rolls eyes*
Speed: *takes out camera*
Delko: It's clean around here.
Speed: She probably has a maid hired because she doesn't want to break a nail.
Delko: If she was willing to kill someone, I think a nail is the least of her worries.
Speed: Yeah well, we'll see.
Delko: *laughs*
Speed: *snaps photos*
Delko: Hey check it out. She smokes cigars.
Speed: So?
Delko: Not too many women do.
Speed: Yeah she's exactly your type Eric. Manly.
Delko: *shakes head*
Speed: *looks down at floor*
Delko: You got something?
Speed: Scuffed shoe prints. *snaps photos*
Delko: Someone was in a hurry.
Speed: Yeah. That's when people make mistakes.
Delko: Good for us though.
Speed: *nods*
Delko: So Calleigh was at PD today.
Speed: Good for her.
Delko: She brought the baby with her. Man you should have seen those women freak out.
Speed: Yeah they're all cute until they learn to swear and use kitchen knives.
Delko: *laughs*
Speed: That's not funny.
Delko: Yeah it is. So you going to see the baby?
Speed: Why?
Delko: ...You're the father.
Speed: Biologically, yeah.
Delko: Are you kidding me?
Speed: No. *snaps pictures*
Delko: That's kind of selfish don't you think?
Speed: It's more selfish to forget about my family and go off with Calleigh and her kid.
Delko: Alright I understand.
Speed: Yeah.
Delko: It wouldn't kill you to see the baby.
Speed: Eric, if you think it's such a big deal, you go be a father and I'll stay here and process the crime scene.
Delko: I was just saying.
Speed: Yeah I know.
Delko: Okay you don't have to do anything that you don't want.
Speed: *snaps pictures*
Delko: ...He's cute.
Speed: *angry sigh*
Delko: Alright I'm sorry.
