Horatio was tired and completely fed up
He was sick of being hassled by the ADA and the fact he's Yelina's boyfriend was not helping
Horatio didn't apporove of his Siser in Law's new man and it was obvious
But as Calliegh had reminded him it was Yelna's choice and Yelina's life
Horatio had to agree with that and was feeling a bit better
He didn't like it but it was pointless arguing with logic
Especially the logic of a beautiful and intelligent friend like Calleigh
At that point his cell phone rang and there was familiar voice on the phone
Hey sweetheart
Hey honey want a coffee break
Love one
meet me out the front ?
where are you
here at the lab i've just landed and last time we spoke you said to come straight over
I did
so i'm here hot tired and jetlagged
well i can't do much about the heat but i might be able to help you out with the other two laughs Horatio
See you soon Liuetenant
See You soon gorgeous
with a gorgeous friend like this why was his sister in law's new man bugging him so much ?
Calleigh is right this is Yelina's life thinks Horatio and I can't lead it for her
and anyway i'd be a hyporcrite to pass judgement on Rick when noone's met Bridget yet
So with that thought Horatio took himself out of the office and over to get a coffee
Ok Calleigh says Horatio with a half grin your one and only chance to have your boss play coffee pregnant dog so
what do you want
Calleigh laughed Flat white thanks i'll just get my purse
No its on me
Thanks Hoaratio
Natalia you want coffee? Asks Horatio My Treat
um yeah ok thanks long black
Horatio grins Long black and a flat white hope i don't mix it up
You won't Horatio says Natalia
Careful ladies you might end up with a flat black and a long white laughs Horatio
Why are you doing the coffee run anyway Horatio asks Calleigh
Yeah H what's her name says Natalia with a cheeky grin
you'll find out
oh really
do we get a hint
maybe
Is she one of us? Asks Calleigh
Nope
is she a cop asks Natalia
She used to be back in Australia
She's Australian
Name
not telling grins H
will we meet her asks Nat
possibly
Horatio! you're not giving us much to go on
yes i am ............. long black and a flat white should be enough for you ladies to be going on with
Horatio walked out into the Miami sun and met up with a beautiful tall Brunette
Hello Stranger laughs his mystery woman
Hello beautiful laughs Horatio you been waiting long
no not really just enjoying the sun
no sun in australia
not during winter
you want to drive or walk
um lets walk i found a place on the way over it's near the beach
sounds good but i have to remember i'm coffee pregnant dog today laughs Horatio
what do you have to get
a long black for Natalia and a flat white for Calleigh
i should be able to manage that laughs his favourite brunette...................i had a waitressing job back in
Melbourne before i joined the police
Good to knkow laughs Horatio..........waitress, cop anything else i should know
well i did used to sing in my brother's band
Singer
yep
Ok so i am serioulsy impressed
don't be you haven't heard me sing she laughs
Can i ask a dumb question then says Horatio
Sure
What makes you go from cop to flight attendant
Car crashes and the 4.00 in the morning knocks on the door "I'm sorry to inform you Mr and Mrs Brown
your son slash daughter
was involved in a car crash and didn't survive" visits and watching parents crumble in fromt of you
Oh yep that would do it Says Horatio
That and being spat on and abused and putting up with all kinds of crap and basically finding out you don't
have what it takes as a cop
Oh so you went to QANTAS
nope i went throug about four or five career changes and a friend told me that QANTAS were recruiting
and called me and told me he'd put in a good word for
me
Was this a boyfriend
Neil? Nope Neil's gay laughs the brunette
Phew thinks Horatio
What you thought you had competition Lieutenant?
Yes I did
Don't let his partner Damien hear you say that he'll scratch my eyes out
Can't have that - i happen to like your eyes where they are
Can i ask you a dense question
Sure what?
Why do your planes tend to fly right into Miami i mean not just into Miami but right INTO Miami they tend
to just about use the street as a runway
Good question laughs Horatio I've often wondered that
I mean i've been with QANTAS for a couple of years and i have only noticed it this trip i thought we were
going to land in the everglades before
I have no idea Bridget laughs Horatio i do have a question for you
Shoot - oops bad thing to say to a cop laughs his friend
Horatio laughs and looks at the ground The night we met at that bar .............when we you introduced
yourself as Bridie what is that
Bridie is short for Bridget and my family and friends call me Bridie - You can call me either I don't mind - i
get both on the plane too
The find a nice coffee shop in the foreshore Is this it? asks Horatio
Yep, you been here before?
Nope this a definate first for me laughs Horatio
They sit down at a table and Bridget puts her handbag over the back of the chair and just as she does a
waitress walks over to serve them and recognises her QANTAS uniform immediately
oh good to see another Aussie laughs the waitress i was starting to think i was the only Aussie in Miami
You're not laughs Bridget
Great I'm Amy by the way says the waitress
I'm Bridget and that's Horatio
Hi i bet you get that shortened laughs Amy
Yep Horatio and i were just talking about that on the way over I also get Bridie
When you're in trouble you get Bridget
Yep
Catholic
Yep laughs Bridget How'd ya know
I'm Amelia when I'm trouble laughs the waitress
Catholic too i bet laughs Horaio
Oooh yeah you bet laughs Amy so what can i get you both
Two coffees? says Horatio looking at Brdie who is nodding
Oh don't forget your friends Horatio says Bridie
are they coming asks Amy
Nope Horatio's informed me he's coffee pregnant dog today says Bridie with a wink
Where are your friends Horatio
He's left them slaving back at the lab laughs Bridie
Nice boss you are laughs Amy and looking at them both laughing I'm glad i don't work for you
So am I, I hope Calliegh and Nat don't mind laughs Bridie
I'll make it up to them laughs Horatio
How
Well they're busting to meet you
Sounds like fun
Are you sure
You kidding I'd love to meet them
Ok done
Sounds like a fair swap to me laughs Amy walking away
Are you Aussies always this friendly ?
Oh yeah you bet, like when you come to Australia you wouldn't catch up with other Americans
occassionally?
Good point laughs Horatio taking Bridie's hand.
So now that i have you all to myself for a few minutes have you thought about my idea
You bet but are you sure you want to do this i mean it's such a big step for you you hardly know me
Horatio
That's not a problem i love what i know so far
which is ?
A fair bit
When's my birthday
Feb 15
Where in Australia was i born
Warrnambool - where ever that is laughs H
OK here's one for you are you sure you want to date someone so soon after your wife's death
It's been a year Bridget
well to some people that's not that long
I guess
I'm not saying no i'm just saying give it and yourself time i am going to be your friend for as long as you
want but if you are ready great
but if you're not then I'm happy to stay friends until you are ready and see what happens
You like things the way they are
For a little while just until we're both sure...........i'd love it to be more but make sure we are both ready
I love how you think but it;s ok with me really i am ready
how about we take it a day at a time?
Sounds good
well i have to take some off and if you want i can spend it here in Miami but it;s up to you H
I'd love it
I'll see if i can get myself that lets me fly to Miami Friday night and have a couple of weeks off
Horatio leans over and kisses her
Sounds good to me says Horatio Like a holiday
I don't think i've had a break from QANTAS for three years exept for Gran's funeral but that doesn't really
count because i was already in Sydney and had to fly
down to Melbourne for it
Oh I'm forgetting you might want to spend some time with your family
I'ts only June,Horatio and i'm only taking a couple of weeks and i would still have time off for christmas and
new years
That sounds good
I'll ring the office tomorrow then says Bridget
Ring from the apartment then ok?
Why
It'd cost you a fortune from your cell
L.A isn't that far H
I thought you meant Sydney laughs Horatio
Nope L.A Just process it and send the paperwork to Sydney
Oh ok then laughs Horatio
I was thinking about going out for dinner later on so do you want to meet me at the lab later you could
meet the others?
I'd love to
ok well we better finish this coffee and let you get some rest
Yeah and let you get some actual work done Lieutenant laughs Bridie
Deal
They walk back to the precint and Horatio hugs Bridget and she walks over and catches a taxi back to
Horatio's apartment
Horatio walks back into the lab a happier Man
Horatio
Francis
Coffee break?
What was your first clue? laughs Horatio
Gee i dunno H the coffee you're carrying any of them mine
Nope ..............actually i have to remember this ............ that's right flat white for Calleigh and a long black
for Natalia
Won't ask what was in your coffee H
Good idea Frank laughs Horatio
Horatio walks into trace and hands the girls their cofee
You look happy says Nat
Yeah Horatio good Coffee break ?
Really good Calleigh thanks
What's her name laughs Natalia trying to get some more details
If i give you a name will you let me finish my paperwork in peace? laughs Horatio
No laughs Calleigh
Oh well at least you're honest says Horatio with a grin
We wanna know everything
What if i told you i could do you one better
How asks Nat wishing her boss would get on with it
What if you could meet her
When asks Calleigh
Tonight
She's coming here ?
She's at my place having a rest, she's getting over some serious jet lag she only arrived in Miami from
Australia
What's she like
I promise you Calliegh you'll like her says Horatio
At Horatio's appartment Bridget lets herself in and puts her bag down
she has to find something nice to wear
what do you wear at times like this
what is this anyway
agh stop over thinking it Bridget .........Horatio obviously likes you enough to meet his mates stup being
such a wuss ............just at that moment a phone call
shakes Bridget out of her thoughts
Hello
Hi beautfiful
Hi Horatio ........... just thinking about you
Good .......that's a start
Hey i always think about yoiu laughs Bridget
Good to know
what the bloody hell do i wear?
Clothes are a good start laughs Horatio
Funny Man i didn't know Miami's finest had a sense of humor
Now you know what you going to do about it
Go with it says Bridget ...........was thinking of a shower but might have a bath ...........you do have a bath
right?
Nope ............i think you might find a jacuzzi................. it's the big round thing in the bathroom
Oh right thanks so is that how you made Liuetenant.....................what time do i meet you
7. 30 ok?
What's it now 11.00 ? good a nap and a jacuzzi god i love Miami
See ya tonight Sweetheart
Bye Hun ........... Hey did Natalia and Calleigh like their coffees
Loved them
Amy did a good job didn't she ?
She did
So you missing me yet Horatio
I usually do laughs Horatio
same here
i love you
i love you too
you ok Bridget
yeah i'm good
i know that sweetheart laughs Horatio but are you ok
Funny boy
You're ok
I'm pretty tired but i might just have a nap
Good plan
Yeah i like it
speak to you later
Ok Honey be good
You too
Cop's girlfriend do i have a choice laughs Bridget
Nope laughs Horatio
Speak to ya soon H, Love ya
Love you too
Horatio hung up he was happier but Bridget sounded flat but she did say she was tired stop over thinking it
Bridget takes a shower and changes into sometliing light
just as she is about to pick up her uniform and put it in the washing machine she sees something gold and
shiny out of the corner of her eye
What the bloody hell is this ? thinks Bridget
Horatio you goose when did you give me your sheild? Over coffee which is unusual because he normally
wears it on his belt
So how did that end up in my bag
Oh hang on I remember now that hug that was um slightly more than a hug
Bridget giggles as she remembers her clinch with Horatio before he went back to work ............still I'm
guessing the man will want his sheild back
Bridget had to admit she didn't relish going back to the lab twice in one day - three if you count tonight-
that's overkill
Still she had to admit this would be a good excuse to catch up before she goes shopping .......Not that she
really needed an excuse to catch up with her man
Then again he won't be able to do his job without his badge .............just bloody ring him woman!
Now where is Horatio's phone .........surely he must have one in the apartment.......he does have one right
so where the bloody hell is it?
Agh Horatio where's your phone babe?
Horatio's phone rang it was Supervisor Scott O'Shane........................dammit Horatio never hated anyone
as much as this man - exept for Rick that is
Supervisor O'Shane what do you want ? Besides the usual i mean?
I'll skp that comment Caine
You must want something pretty big then says Horatio
I'll pass on that one too Liuetenant
Ok make that really big
Where's Anna
I'm not telling you all you need to know is she is safe and you can't touch her
i don't want her i just want to know where she is
Not telling
We need to talk Liuetenant
Fine but i am still NOT telling you where Anna is
Fine don't i don't care
FIne then see you in twenty minutes
You will
Horatio hated visits from Scott O'Shane they usually menat trouble and where the hell was his badge
Dammit !
He had it in the coffee shop with Bridget but forgets after that ................
Still Horatio had a phone call to make then he might call her ...........yeah and wake her up yeah right good
one Caine!
Instead he called Anna's ex husband and warned him about his meeting with Scott and He thanked Horatio
for the call but told him Anna was safe and
playing with her son
Horatio hung up relieved
Just then his phone rang again ............now where is my dam badge........................Horatio Cane
............
Hi Sweetie its Bridget
Hi beautiful what's up
Nothing i just have to ask you something
Shoot
Did you giive me your sheild for a reason .............. you know ...............um before............
Dam is that where it is
You want it ? Somehow i think it landed in my bag...............you know from um our hug
oh yes now i remember and i am going to need a cold shower after that and I have a meeting with
Supervisor O'Shane in twenty minutes
I'll bring it in
it's ok i'll come get it
Horatio you won't make it sweetie
Good point
I;ll bring it
You sure
Yep i can't sleep so shopping is the next best thing laughed Bridget
Thank you sweetheart
You're welcome
Bridget jumped into the cab and told him to take her to the crime lab
She got there and ran up the stairs three at a time
Hi I'm looking for Liuetenant Caine she told the receptionist
She buzzed him and he came and got his shield
Horatio was relieved to have it Scott O'Shane was just looking for an excuse to take that off him
Hi H you look frazzled wanna get some air? Come outside ........Bridie takes her friend by the hand and
leads him out into the sun
Horatio hugged his partner and said that he had to go but he'd see her later on
Ok sweetie i'll see you i'm just going to do some shopping
You want the car ?
nope i'd only have to carry that and the shopping bags laughed Bridget
Funny girl laughs Horatio
Oh you mean put the shopping in the car? right! laughs Bridget....................... Nope i'll be fine i'm not
getting much just some girlie stuff
Girlie stuff
Trust me babe you don't want to know
Ok fair enough Horatio hugs Bridget and gives her a kiss on the forehead see ya back here at 7.30?
You will bye Babe
Bye
What's wrong Horatio
My meeting not looking forward to it much rather go shopping with you and just hang out for the rest of
the day
Same here but you have a job to do so i am going shopping and leaving you to it and i'll see you back her
at 7.30 tonight ok
See ya Honey
See Ya H
Bridget hugs Horatio and gives him a kiss and goes into the sunshine and heads to the mall to find
something nice for that night she told Horatio girlie stuff but
what she meant was she was she wanted something that would make his sheild melt and make the
normally cool Horatio Caine drool.
Miami Dade lab had a different feel for Horatio
He had a good feeling from Bridget's hug but he hated that he had a bad feeling about his meeting with
Scott O'Shane
He had been wondering why Scott O'Shane was up to now he has never trusted that man and now he's
after Anna again he wasn't sure what was
going through that man's mind
Just then Rick turned up
Great first Scott O'Shane now this jerk
Rick what's up?
You heard from Scott O'Shane today
Yes unfortunately
Not your favourite person either Horatio
Not exactly and i have better things i could be doing
What's her name
That would be telling says Horatio and besides we're just friends
Sure
You'll be the last to know Rick
Thanks, so you know why he called us in
Us? Horatio is curious
He called me too
Was he as vague with you?
Um where's Anna? Don't want to see her just want to know where she is? oh yeah clear as mud laughed
Rick
Horatio laughed Rick's sarcasm reminded hm a little of Bridget when she was being funny
What's up Horatio
Nothing you just reminded me of a friend
Funny is she
Nice try Rick laghed Horatio
Dammit
You call yourself an Attorney ? You'll have to work on your cross counsellor
Funny man
It was rare these two have a joke between them but Scott O'Shane was one of those rarities
Just at that moment supervisor O'Shane turned up and he looked different
Neither Rick nor Horatio could work it out
Is it me Horatio or does Scott O'Shane look weird
Scott always looks weird Rick laughed Horatio
Ok make that weirder than usual
Yep pretty weird even for him laughs Horatio
I don't get it
Me neither but i have called Anna's ex husband and warned him
Good thinking
Horatio calls Anna's ex husband and warns him
He hangs up and finishes his paper work and looks at his paperwork
He was sick of being hassled by the ADA and the fact he's Yelina's boyfriend was not helping
Horatio didn't apporove of his Siser in Law's new man and it was obvious
But as Calliegh had reminded him it was Yelna's choice and Yelina's life
Horatio had to agree with that and was feeling a bit better

What the bloody hell is this ? thinks Bridget
Horatio you goose when did you give me your sheild? Over coffee which is unusual because he normally
wears it on his belt
So how did that end up in my bag
Oh hang on I remember now that hug that was um slightly more than a hug
Bridget giggles as she remembers her clinch with Horatio before he went back to work ............still I'm
guessing the man will want his sheild back
Bridget had to admit she didn't relish going back to the lab twice in one day - three if you count tonight-
that's overkill
Still she had to admit this would be a good excuse to catch up before she goes shopping .......Not that she
really needed an excuse to catch up with her man
Then again he won't be able to do his job without his badge .............just bloody ring him woman!
Now where is Horatio's phone .........surely he must have one in the apartment.......he does have one right
so where the bloody hell is it?
Agh Horatio where's your phone babe?
Horatio's phone rang it was Supervisor Scott O'Shane........................dammit Horatio never hated anyone
as much as this man - exept for Rick that is
Supervisor O'Shane what do you want ? Besides the usual i mean?
I'll skp that comment Caine
You must want something pretty big then says Horatio
I'll pass on that one too Liuetenant
Ok make that really big
Where's Anna
I'm not telling you all you need to know is she is safe and you can't touch her
i don't want her i just want to know where she is
Not telling
We need to talk Liuetenant
Fine but i am still NOT telling you where Anna is
Fine don't i don't care
FIne then see you in twenty minutes
You will
Horatio hated visits from Scott O'Shane they usually menat trouble and where the hell was his badge
Dammit !
He had it in the coffee shop with Bridget but forgets after that ................
Still Horatio had a phone call to make then he might call her ...........yeah and wake her up yeah right good
one Caine!
Instead he called Anna's ex husband and warned him about his meeting with Scott and He thanked Horatio
for the call but told him Anna was safe and
playing with her son
Horatio hung up relieved
Just then his phone rang again ............now where is my dam badge........................Horatio Cane
............
Hi Sweetie its Bridget
Hi beautiful what's up
Nothing i just have to ask you something
Shoot
Did you giive me your sheild for a reason .............. you know ...............um before............
Dam is that where it is
You want it ? Somehow i think it landed in my bag...............you know from um our hug
oh yes now i remember and i am going to need a cold shower after that and I have a meeting with
Supervisor O'Shane in twenty minutes
I'll bring it in
it's ok i'll come get it
Horatio you won't make it sweetie
Good point
I;ll bring it
You sure
Yep i can't sleep so shopping is the next best thing laughed Bridget
Thank you sweetheart
You're welcome
Bridget jumped into the cab and told him to take her to the crime lab
She got there and ran up the stairs three at a time
Hi I'm looking for Liuetenant Caine she told the receptionist
She buzzed him and he came and got his shield
Horatio was relieved to have it Scott O'Shane was just looking for an excuse to take that off him
Hi H you look frazzled wanna get some air? Come outside ........Bridie takes her friend by the hand and
leads him out into the sun
Horatio hugged his partner and said that he had to go but he'd see her later on
Ok sweetie i'll see you i'm just going to do some shopping
You want the car ?
nope i'd only have to carry that and the shopping bags laughed Bridget
Funny girl laughs Horatio
Oh you mean put the shopping in the car? right! laughs Bridget....................... Nope i'll be fine i'm not
getting much just some girlie stuff
Girlie stuff
Trust me babe you don't want to know
Ok fair enough Horatio hugs Bridget and gives her a kiss on the forehead see ya back here at 7.30?
You will bye Babe
Bye
What's wrong Horatio
My meeting not looking forward to it much rather go shopping with you and just hang out for the rest of
the day
Same here but you have a job to do so i am going shopping and leaving you to it and i'll see you back her
at 7.30 tonight ok
See ya Honey
See Ya H
Bridget hugs Horatio and gives him a kiss and goes into the sunshine and heads to the mall to find
something nice for that night she told Horatio girlie stuff but
what she meant was she was she wanted something that would make his sheild melt and make the
normally cool Horatio Caine drool.
Miami Dade lab had a different feel for Horatio
He had a good feeling from Bridget's hug but he hated that he had a bad feeling about his meeting with
Scott O'Shane
He had been wondering why Scott O'Shane was up to now he has never trusted that man and now he's
after Anna again he wasn't sure what was
going through that man's mind
Just then Rick turned up
Great first Scott O'Shane now this jerk
Rick what's up?
You heard from Scott O'Shane today
Yes unfortunately
Not your favourite person either Horatio
Not exactly and i have better things i could be doing
What's her name
That would be telling says Horatio and besides we're just friends
Sure
You'll be the last to know Rick
Thanks, so you know why he called us in
Us? Horatio is curious
He called me too
Was he as vague with you?
Um where's Anna? Don't want to see her just want to know where she is? oh yeah clear as mud laughed
Rick
Horatio laughed Rick's sarcasm reminded hm a little of Bridget when she was being funny
What's up Horatio
Nothing you just reminded me of a friend
Funny is she
Nice try Rick laghed Horatio
Dammit
You call yourself an Attorney ? You'll have to work on your cross counsellor
Funny man
It was rare these two have a joke between them but Scott O'Shane was one of those rarities
Just at that moment supervisor O'Shane turned up and he looked different
Neither Rick nor Horatio could work it out
Is it me Horatio or does Scott O'Shane look weird
Scott always looks weird Rick laughed Horatio
Ok make that weirder than usual
Yep pretty weird even for him laughs Horatio
I don't get it
Me neither but i have called Anna's ex husband and warned him
Good thinking
Horatio calls Anna's ex husband and warns him
He hangs up and finishes his paper work and looks at his paperwork
