Re: "MaCalleigh....What should've been".
Hello reader's, I'm having a really hard time deciding how I want to continue this, so I'm asking for you opinion, would you like to see Mac leave the story, having Don be there for Calleigh, helping her through it, or would you rather leave her with Mac. I really need some insight here, as to what you would like to read.
Thanks for your help. Linda

The following morning when Mac and Calleigh arrived at work, they recieved a call from Horatio.
"Det.Taylor". "Mac, it's Horatio, I need your help in Miami, as soon as possible, I'm down one CSI, Delko was shot by a sniper, he's alive but critical, I could really use your help catching this guy". "Okay...I'll be there as soon as I can". "Thanks Mac".
"Calleigh...I need to make another trip to Miami, Delko has been shot by a sniper, and Horatio needs my help". "Oh no... not Eric, is he alright"? "He's critical love, but holding his own". "Okay...I'll go pick up the kids, and meet you at home". "Calleigh...I need you to stay here". Mac could see the pain in her eyes.
"Why"? "We have that case that you and Flack are working on, we can't leave that, one of us have to stay here". "Oh that's right, okay, you go ahead then, if we can get the case closed soon enough, the kids and I will join you". "Sounds good Calleigh, as he pulled her into his arms, and passionately kissed her, not caring who was watching.
"I'll miss you love, kiss the kids for me". "I will Mac, I love you too". Leaving out the office, Mac seen Flack standing there. "Take care of my family Don, understand". "I will Mac, have a safe flight, and send Eric our strength". "I will...turning once more, Mac whispered I love you", and left NY.
Walking into Mac's office, Don seen the tears on Calleigh's lids. "You going to be okay Calleigh"? "Yeah...I'll be fine Don, what have you got on our case"? "Not alot right now, still no ID on the suspect, though he's been seen at Grand Central Station twice now, usually between the hours of 8 and 9pm". "Hmmm..do you think he's meeting someone there"? "I'm not sure, but it couldn't hurt to check it out".
"Okay than, let's grab Danny and head out". Leaving the office, Don hoped they would have the case solved quickly, because having her out of NY for a while, would allow him to forget, or so he thought.
