Chapter 39
Staff Meeting - Breakroom, mid-afternoon Thursday.
The entire CSI team had gathered in the breakroom for their regular weekly staff meeting.
H - Calleigh, I have you down for the Court duty on Tuesday. State v- Doyle. Are you fully prepared to go to trial on this?
C - Of course I am Horatio! The evidence speaks for itself! I'm going to enjoy watching that bitch go down.
H - Calleigh I want you to remain objective until after the sentence is handed down. Then and only then can you do a little victory dance!
C - Understood H!
H - Moving on. Eric have you finished processing the beemer down in the garage?
E - Still working on it H.
H - Fine, keep me posted. Ryan!
Ry - Yes H?
H - Give Eric a hand processing the car.
Ry - No problem
N - What about me Horatio?
H - You'll be working in the lab as from Monday
N - Care to give me a reason why you're pulling me from the field a week ahead of schedule?
H - (calmly) Because I feel it would be in the best interests of this unit for you to be in the lab until you go on maternity leave.
N - (giving him the evil eye) Are you saying that my work in the field has been sub-standard?
H - (choosing his words carefully) That's not what I am saying at all and you know it!
N - (heatedly) That's just it Lieutenant! I don't know, because you have decided this without talking to the person who it affects the most. Namely ME!!
H - I know you don't like my decision, but I stand by it.
N - (seething) and there's no chance of you changing your mind?
H - None whatsoever!
N - (getting out of her chair) That's fine. I'm out of here!
And with that comment Natalia slams her service weapon and badge on the table in front of Horatio.
H - And just what do you expect me to do with these?
N - (turning her back on him and walking out the door) Stick them where the sun don't shine!
There was a stunned silence in the breakroom. Nobody dared to to move until Horatio said
H - This meeting is over!!!
C - (taking charge) Eric, you and Ryan go after her, make sure she's alright. Drive her home if necessary.
E - Ok, Cal. Come on Wolfman (glaring at Horatio)
C - Call me with updates, now go.
Ry - We're on the way.
C - Don't even think about moving from that chair Horatio!!!
H - I don't want to discuss it with you Calleigh
C - Too bad, you're going to!!
H - Calleigh it's none of your business!
C - Well, I'm making it my business.
H - The hell you are!
C - (yelling) Hear me now Horatio, you are going to make this right . You will not let her quit a job that she loves. You will never EVER put her in such a position again that she feels her only option is to quit! Before the sun has set today, you are going to make this right. Do you hear me Horatio?
H - (chuckling) I think the whole building can hear you Calleigh!
C - Don't laugh at me dumbass! Or I swear they will be carrying you out of here on a stretcher! (calleigh's phone rings)
H - That could be Eric.
C - (looking at caller i.d.) it is. (answering her phone)
C - Hey Eric what's happening?
E - Ryan's driving her home, and I'm following behind in the hummer.
C - When you get there, stay with her until I bring this jackass to her.
E - Good 'cos I want to have a few words with him as well!
C - I'm sure you do handsome. Why don't you call the rest of the gang, I'm sure they've got some things they'd like to say as well!
E - Oh Calleigh, let's have a good old fashioned ass whomping!
C - I like the way you think handsome. Talk to you later. (ending the call)
H - Well what did he say?
C - She's on her way home. Ryan's driving her.
